cost and installation of the charging station.
Especially after she adds in the cost and installation of the charging station.
Aw, come on, when I was looking at whether I could afford a Model 3 (no!), I seem to recall it was only going to cost about $2000 to get a second meter (house panel is at capacity) and charger on a post in the yard on top of the cost of the car. That's barely noticeable if you're buying a Model Y (and you likely have the 240V amperage available and a garage to install in).
If I can't charge at home, even a single motor Model 3 (at slightly more than twice what I paid for my Ford) would cost me more to operate than my 2015 Fiesta, and I'd have to drive several miles, fifteen minutes near enough, out of my way twice a week to charge up (instead of having literally a dozen choices within two minutes of my daily commute to fill up on unleaded, and at least three to get E15, which I only need once a week).
charging at home costs about 1/3 of what it costs to ”fuel” our ICE cars (we have 6) over the same distances.
That's close to what I calculated too (obviously varies with electric rates; North Carolina is paying for a bunch of solar farms and coal ash cleanups at present). Comparatively, if you have to charge at a charging station, you'll pay more per mile even with a Leaf (never mind any flavor of Tesla, Ford Lightning, or Rivian) than an economy gasoline car. Like buying 35 mm film in 100 foot (or 1000 foot) rolls vs. already rolled in 24 exposure cassettes...
sort of like buying film with free developing.
Closer to buying a Hasselblad and getting free film (until they cut it off). Tesla buyers here in the US got free Supercharge access from market introduction until sometime in 2022 -- and then had to pay the same price as everyone else...
I will try to load NikonScan on my 32-bit Dell computer running Win 7.
I don't think even Vuescan will run on Win7 any more.
3000g scale to 0.01 accuracy
I'm skeptical. That's effectively around 19 bit resolution. Getting that sort of resolution from a mass-manufactured load cell system is nigh impossible. I'd estimate the real-world resolution at around 15 bits on a good day. That would be around 0.1g real world accuracy - which is still very respectable. For weighing out stuff below 10g or so I'd recommend getting one of the smaller scales with a range up to 50g or so.
