Chapter 8: Winter Solstice Part 2: Avatar Roku
A review (and some demotivation) of Book 1: Water, Chapter 8: Winter Solstice Part 2: Avatar Roku.
Previously in Avatar: Danny Phantom. Momo's diabolical plots. Something about helping a village, I think. Oh. And a Chinese Fireball.
By the way, Monkeyfeathers is busy with Drama Club this week, so no rants from him. =/ Sorry Monkeyfeathers fans. He'll be back next week.
We begin in the quaint little town called the Shire, where Aang is trying to start his car. Like all cheap vehicles, however, this car refuses to start, which is bad. Aang wants to run away from home, but he can't do that if the noise attracts attention.
You see, Aang has a very difficult dilemma. On one hand, he could stay here, and ship with his actual canon ship, Katara, who apparently "needs him." Or he could run away to the Earth Kingdom, find Toph some eighteen episodes early, and give all the Zutarians something to have fangasms about other than DeviantArt porn.
He chooses to scream more loudly.
Fortunately, amid all this screaming, his girlfriend hears. Afraid that her "man" (read: Harry Potter in The Chamber of Secrets) is, I don't know, going to run off to try to wriggle his way into another gir—never mind. Anyway, she offers him what she knows will keep him here.
[waggles eyebrows]
So, while Pervtara and Aang get it on in the saddle, Sokka and Momo are forced to listen.
In the meantime, Zuko detects a disturbance in the force.
"Losing his virginity before me someone is. Hm."
And then the Improbability Drive fixes itself, and all of the magical puppets go away.
So, acting on the vision of the "comet," the Gaang runs like terrified little poop monkeys to the blockade, where Wolverine himself is waiting.
"Oh, right, we're just supposed to believe that's a coincidence? I mean, come on! Of all of the stupid blockades, ships, etc. Zhao had to be put in front of this particular one! Last time we checked, Zhao was waaay down south. Serious-effing-ly?! What are the odds of that?! Zhao just turns up everything! Don't you think that gets annoying after, I don't know, three thousand coincidences?! Who the @#$% do you think you are, Zhao? Count Olaf? And don't even get me started on—"
That's a good idea.
. . .
Yep. Gandhi's got nothing on this.
I mean, are you kidding me? Good gravy, he kicked a boulder, and it exploded! How many you get more awesome than that? Cha, I know it was an air kick, but still. He jumped up, kick-Airbended the boulder, and it exploded.
In the Avatar universe, "physics" and "science" often take vacations.
Very, very long vacations.
In the meantime, Aang and the Gaang managed to successfully run the blockade.
Gee, I wonder why.
I know! Aang used the power of random facial expressions that don't make any sense! So, I have a question to the animator: Did you get bored in your office while waiting for your meager job to end so you can go smoke some meth or what? I'm joking. I love your work.
Zuko is let to pass, because Zhao thinks he'll lead him right to the Avatar. Wait, I have a question. Zuko doesn't have any "Avvie senses" or an "Avarader." He's just following the Avatar by sight and a telescope. Don't tell me Zhao can't either a) track the giant flying beast called Appa or b) whip out his telescope, which is likely ten times better than Zuko's anyway.
But, you know, that's no fun. Everyone wants Zuko in the story. Preferably naked.
The Gaang arrives at some island in the middle of the nowhere that happens to be shaped like a croissant. Hence, it's called Croissant Island. That surely can't be "crescent" I'm hearing, as crescents are associated with the moon.
After some jassercise and a nice pic-a-nic, Team Avatar leisurely storms into the temple, where they meet a bunch of old people. Turns out these old people are really some kick-butt Master Firebenders, so the Gaang explodes into a bunch of scurrying little termites.
Then, Shyu, a named character that has maybe five minutes of screen time, magically Apparates and claims he wants to help them.
"Come with me! It's your only hope! And I promise you can get as much candy as you want from the van!"
It turns out that Aang is telepathic, and he somehow went down the exact right corridor, so Shyu huffs and puffs and blows the door down, thus letting in the Three Little Piggies.
I mean Three Little Victims.
I mean . . . you get the drift.
Note to fangirls: Yes, Zuko is hiding somewhere in the room.
Note two to fangirls: No, he's not half-naked. Your well-meaning fangirlfriend lied, I'm afraid.
Note three to fangirls: Nor is he completely naked. He's fully clothed. So stop.
Hoo-whee. Aang is forced to open a door, which can only be opened by blasting fire from five . . . orifices.
Please excuse me and my dirty, dirty mind.
In the meanwhile, Harry, while also twelve, is forced to open a door, which can only be opened by blasting Parseltongue from . . . tell you what, let's just move on before I'm banned from the Wiki.
[coughs awkwardly]
Soooooo . . . Sokka gets a brilliant idea. With a sinisterly blood-red light bulb hanging over his head, he makes fart-bags, which he then sets off in the middle of the snake-heads.
Sadly, the fart-bags can't quite pronounce Parseltongue.
So . . .
Those old people from earlier (Bumi knows all of them, by the way) come running and open the door. Just like that.
Wowwwww. Congratulations.
Oh noes! This is terrible!
Prince Zuko has clothes!
I'm missing something?
Oh, yeah, and I think he captured Aang.
It's like a Russian reversal. Magically, everyone reverses their positions. Wait, if you could do that earlier, why didn't you? Why did you just suddenly decide, "Oh, okay, that's cool, man. It's Prince Zuko. Now I can activate my old man ninja skeelz?"
In Soviet Fire Nation, you no are stupidity. Stupidity are you!
Then some awesomeness ensues. Aang, channeling the Avatar Spirit, knocks Zuko off some stairs (and gives him some concussions), leaps up and lands on the head of a Fire Sage (and gives him some concussions), and bounces off the last old guy (and gives him some concussions). What's this? Aang wouldn't do that? Of course he would. Just take a look at Avatar: The Last Airbender Revised by Lovely. It won't disappoint, I assure you.
Wump! Avatar Roku flashes into existence on the solstice. And what if Aang was late? Sucks for you! What if Aang had stayed just a few more months in iceberg land? The world may never know. Except it and all the Tootsie Rolls would be dead. Take that, Mr. Owl!
You can just fast-forward here. It's some plot. Here's the summary:
There's a villain whose plans will be roll out in a certain time period. The hero must accomplish x tasks in the set time period, then confront the villain with the skills learned from the x tasks.
Thanks, TVTropes.
Oh, and Roku is dead.
Aang: So . . . are we in King's Cross?
And I mean the real one. Not one who got a movie named after him and then crawled off to die of a heart attack in some hole.
No, no, you silly misplaced modifiers. I don't mean he died in some hole of a heart attack, I mean he died because he had a heart attack in some whole.
Thank you for loaning me your grammar. Mine's in jail on DUI.
The Fearsome Fivesome—also known as a quartet of grumpy old men and an unfortunately fully clothed "teen heartthrob"—try to flame open the door like a bunch of Johnny's. "Flame on!"
Or, as they say in the Fire Nation, "stay flamin'."
Well, Roku is upset, because, you see, he doesn't like Marvel—he likes DC, and he doesn't like all these stupid Marvel movies. He liked Superman and Batman and the Justice League. Not this stuff. Why is there a green giant in magically stretching purple pants? And why isn't he selling corn?
So, Roku goes completely psycho. Gee, I wonder why the world is like this in the first place, if the previous Avatar went around knocking down giant temples like a little kid knocks down sandcastles.
Oh, and I think Wolverine showed up.
Oh my spirits save us all I don't want to die I love my life I love my life I love my—
Do you what the problem with too much exercise is?
So, moving right along, at this point Wolverine realizes that he is in some hot water.
Get it?
Hot water?
And the Zutarians go wild.
"See, there's no such thing as air water! But there is hot water! Boom! Burn! Tee hee!"
. . . Right. I'll go vomit in this here walrus bucket. Shut up, Lolrus. Go buy another bucket if you want one!
So, Wolverine consults the little voice inside his head, kind of like a stupid version of the little voice in your head, and he finds out that Roku's powah is over nine thousand!
And he's angry.
Trust me.
You want to see him when he's angry.
As long as, you know, you're on the other side of the television screen.
As for the Gaang?
Oh yeah.
It's on—
Like Donkey Kong.
In fact, no one cares so much, I didn't spell his name correctly.
Okay. It's time to a look at an IM chat conversation from a few years back (copy/pasted). This is not IRC, but a similar client.
<italyrools> dude yeah avatar is da best
<flutflutflyer> So, did you guys see the new episode?
<chick227> duh. zuko = smexy y did he have cloths lol?
[flutflutflyer barfs into a bucket]
<italyrools> @flutflutflyer: haha ur so funny
<chick227> i didnt like that shyo guy tho who was he?
[italyrools shrugs]
Aangalicious is online.
<flutflutflyer> Aang!
[flutflutflyer hugs Aanagalicious]
<flutflutflyer> *Aangalicious
<Aangalicious> Hi Flut.
<chick227> Sooooooo who is shyo?
<Aangalicious> @chick227: It's "Shyu," actually, I believe, not "Shyo."
<italyrools> no u dummy its shyo they say it like that
<flutflutflyer> It's Shyu.
<chick227> im bored
chick227 has been kicked out of ##italyftw for flooding.
<flutflutflyer> Ha!
<italyrools> lmfao
<Aangalicious> Ha.
<italyrools> its still shyo
[flutflutflyer is angry]
<flutflutflyer> @Aangalicious: Meet me on my channel. You know which one.
<Aangalicious> @flutflutflyer: No problem.
Aangalicious has left ##italyftw.
flutflutflyer has left ##italyftw.
flutflutflyer has joined ##gaangstarap.
<Aangalicious> I hate people who can't spell names properly.
[flutflutflyer snorts]
<flutflutflyer> Ditto.
And this has repeated itself so many.
Know what you're spelling!
It's Xu, not Shoe.
It's Ozai, not Ozia.
It's Zuko, not Suko (yes, I see this sometimes).
It's Aang, not Ang! Two A's, people! Two!
And for heavens' sake, it's Shyu, not Shyo.
Oh, and some stuff happened. I think everyone died. I'm not sure.
I mean, really? You guys just leavehim to die? Good gravy.
Zhao is left staring angrily at the horizon, furious that his adult diaper has been soiled. Curse you, Gaang! If it weren't for these meddling kids, I would have gone 87 days without an accident! I hate wiping chalkboards.
Meanwhile, Zuko is . . . being Zuko . . . somewhere over there. Right. Hey girls! He's over here! Come and get some!
[jumps out of the way of the stampede]
And, as for those of you who didn't get the DP, thank you for being clean and/or sane. The world needs more of you.
Once more . . . This episode is a 3. I felt that they could have gone through the plot bits a little faster, but the rest of the episode, particularly the beginning, felt very rushed, as did the end. Also? Eh. Some things didn't quite make sense. However, I awarded bonus points for Aang has Chuck Norris.
What are your thoughts on the episode? No flaming!
See you next time!

June 22: Hitler has a moment of sanity and calls off the invasion of the USSR. Britain continues to be the main focus of Germany. Because of this, Britain begins to focus more and more of its efforts on just staying alive. The USSR holds on to the territories it has conquered.
Churchill orders the retreat of Britain's naval fleet to British waters. Britain's colonies are left to fend for themselves, causing anger against the crown. The US enters the war, same as in OTL. The US gives some aid to Australia, but India begins to experience some slight rumblings.
Nazi Germany steps up its production of ships and planes in preparation for Operation: Sealion. Germany also invades Switzerland, which is a success, but at a heavy cost. India begins to be pushed back by Japanese forces due to lack of British troops. Since the Japanese-occupied Dutch East Indies separates India from US forces, there is nothing the US can do. India's protests fall on deaf ears.
In Asia, India's supply road to China is cut off before a new one can be built. The Chinese began losing ground due to lack of support from the Allies and the USSR. Nationalists blame Communists, and vice versa, causing tension to increase between the two groups. In Europe, Nazi Germany launches Operation: Sealion. It captures some territory on the British mainland, but the invasion force stalls in central England and results in a stalemate reminiscent of the Western Front in WWI. Britain eventually expels all German troops from Great Britain after ...
In Asia, China explodes into civil war after an incident between Nationalist and Communist forces. The Japanese take advantage of the chaos by launching an offensive into unoccupied China. The conflicting defenders fall apart and are forced to retreat, leaving Japan controlling all of coastal Central and Southeast Asia. The US and Australia are finally making headway in the Pacific, but the situation looks bad for areas of Asia cut off from American support. In Europe, the Second Battle of Britain is still raging. Then, a breakthrough. The Manhattan Project has been working desperately to find the atomic bomb. They finally build one in March 1945 and use it against German forces in Europe, and also in Japan. World War II ends on July 4, 1945. The Soviet Union, lacking certain spies since the USSR wasn't a US ally, must make their own bomb. They start their atomic bomb program in secret with orders to get it done ASAP. Stalin knows, however, that until then, the Allies have the upper hand, so he gives up his conquered territory (but still makes sure it remains Communist and loyal only to him), except the territory he gained from Finland in the Winter War. Many native Russians protest, but later realize it was probably the right decision.

fear4ever replied to Octav's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingI think you should start with c# or java and use the built in graphics API as they are pretty straight forward and require little effort to learn. You'll use eclipse/visual studio to write the code and intellisense will remember function names for you so you wont have to bother with 1- Graphics APIs/Frameworks 2- Function details/graphics pipelines 3- Windowing/keyboard-mouse input routines. You can easily focus on actual game development/algorithms/geometry calculations. By the time you create a game like snake that actually works you'll have learned a great deal about essentials of game programming. Then you can move to more professional stuff like OpenGL/DirectX

fear4ever posted a topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingHello, As far as I can see glPolygonStipple isnt applied when glDrawPixels is called. Is there a way to make this work?
fear4ever replied to fear4ever's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingQuote:Original post by fear4ever That overlay can be drawn by the c# application itself or maybe by some other dll. It doesn't really matter whether it gdi+ or anything else that does the drawing. What i am trying to find is the method of double buffered drawing onto a c# form (flicker free). As i understand OpenGL and gdi+ use different buffers for drawing so something like is not possible? in each timer tick clear_area() oglDLL.draw() //dont swap buffers yet some_other_dll.draw() //dont swap buffers yet gdi+.draw() //dont swap buffers yet swap_buffers() Any explanation or pointers to that kind of drawing tecnique would be appriciated.
fear4ever posted a topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingHi I am trying to create a c++ dll which draws some stuff to a c# form (hWd passed as a parameter to the dll). It works fine up to that point. I put a timer to the c# application and it calls the dll's draw method on each tick. What I am trying to add now is an overlay on top of what is drawn by the c++ part. That overlay can be drawn by the c# application itself or maybe by some other dll. Is that possible? And if so how do i go about it? Something like void tick() { openGL_Part.draw(); draw_Some_Stuff_On_Top_Of_That(); }
fear4ever replied to fear4ever's topic in For BeginnersI have played a bit around with the code. First off the HBITMAP i created was not getting the info from CBitmap bmp; so i decided to get pixel directly from it. and changed 24 color depth to 32 which is my desktop resolution. At last i got some output but half the picture is still in black. What could be the reason? // CDenemeView drawing void CDenemeView::OnDraw(CDC* pDC) { CDenemeDoc* pDoc = GetDocument(); ASSERT_VALID(pDoc); // TODO: add draw code for native data here // bitmap dimensions RECT windowRect; GetWindowRect(&windowRect); int bitmap_dx = windowRect.right - windowRect.left; int bitmap_dy = windowRect.bottom - windowRect.top; CPaintDC odc(this); CBitmap bmp; CDC dc; dc.CreateCompatibleDC(&odc); bmp.CreateCompatibleBitmap( &odc, bitmap_dx, bitmap_dy ); dc.SelectObject(&bmp); //fill the area for ( int x = 0; x < bitmap_dy; x ++ ) { for ( int y = 0; y < bitmap_dx; y ++ ) { dc.SetPixel(x,y, RGB(x%256,y%256,(x+y)%256)); } } // create file ofstream file("example.bmp", ios::binary); if(!file) return; // save bitmap file headers BITMAPFILEHEADER fileHeader; BITMAPINFOHEADER infoHeader; fileHeader.bfType = 0x4d42; fileHeader.bfSize = 0; fileHeader.bfReserved1 = 0; fileHeader.bfReserved2 = 0; fileHeader.bfOffBits = sizeof(BITMAPFILEHEADER) + sizeof(BITMAPINFOHEADER); infoHeader.biSize = sizeof(infoHeader); infoHeader.biWidth = bitmap_dx; infoHeader.biHeight = bitmap_dy; infoHeader.biPlanes = 1; infoHeader.biBitCount = 32; infoHeader.biCompression = BI_RGB; infoHeader.biSizeImage = 0; infoHeader.biXPelsPerMeter = 0; infoHeader.biYPelsPerMeter = 0; infoHeader.biClrUsed = 0; infoHeader.biClrImportant = 0; file.write((char*)&fileHeader, sizeof(fileHeader)); file.write((char*)&infoHeader, sizeof(infoHeader)); // save dibsection data int bytes = (((32*bitmap_dx + 31) & (~31))/8)*bitmap_dy; char *memory2= (char*)malloc(sizeof(char)*bytes); bmp.GetBitmapBits(bytes,memory2); file.write((char*)memory2, bytes); DeleteObject(bmp); DeleteDC(dc); DeleteDC(odc); file.close(); }
fear4ever posted a topic in For BeginnersHello. I am having a problem creating and saving an image as bmp in a MFC application.

fear4ever replied to fear4ever's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingYes you are right. Basically i wanted to develop a GUI based opengl application. Nehe's window system works just fine but controlling everything with keyboard is not possible when you want to create an actual application. SDL is not any different as far as i can see. Anyway i did manage to integrate opengl/vb/c++. After a bit of a work i'll hopefully have a simple framework where vb controls user input and c++ handles application logic and opengl. Thanks for the replies.
fear4ever replied to fear4ever's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingThanks edgar. I did manage to make it work by creating a simple atl com object and linking to vb. This brings some problems with it of course i.e i have to prevent vb from drawing over opengl stuff by running it in a closed loop. Still it works and will save me some time while designing a GUI. Hopefully i'll have a generic framework for future use. I also looked into SDL a bit. It seems quite nice but is there a form editor type tool for creating GUI's based on it?
fear4ever posted a topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingHi, I am trying to create a simple windows opengl application. For GUI i decided to use visual basic. I know people can code opengl in vb using a tlb file which i cannot remember the exact name for but that's not i am after. I am looking for a way to implement only GUI in VB and all application code in visual c++. That means i'll have a dll that initiliazes opengl using the window handle of vb, vb will pass GUI events to that/or another dll responsible for application impelemtatioin. Is that possible? I tried to create a simple win32 dll with VS/c++ and reference it in a VB app but that doesnt seem to work. Do i have to create an mfc activeX control instead of a regular dll? (That i tried and managed to link the ocx file to vb but is creating a control best way to do this?) I am also open for suggestions about the platform to implement the GUI (MFC is a bit too complicated and glut/glui do not have a good application feel). Thanks in advance.
fear4ever replied to fear4ever's topic in Math and PhysicsThis is not a homework. I am trying to build a pipe around a curve, the normals at curve points need to match so i can create circles around it and connect them with triangle strips. BeanDog, your methods seems like it will work. I am not very good with linear algebra, so i'll try to implement this and let you know. Thanks for replies
fear4ever posted a topic in Math and PhysicsHi, I have 2 vectors. a=[x1,y1,y1] b=[x2,y2,z2] Now somehow the vector a is rotated to a'=[x1',y1',z1'] a' is given without the rotation matrix that produced it. What i need is to rotate the vector b the same way vector a has been rotated to obtain b'=[x2',y2',z2']. Any (if possible easy) way to do this? Thanks
Thanks a lot. I just cannot see such typos especially it is me who made them :( This works fine now.
fear4ever replied to 0v3rloader's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingThis page shows how to set up lights. Specifiying spotlight properties. Hope it helps
I have written a simple program to implement this. Here is a link to MSVS 6 workspace (10kb) Source I am using a bezier curve. You can play with resetControl() function to specify diffrent control points and get diffrent curves. The pipe is generated with some weird looking parts especially at curving regions.

Poor Battery Life on 85w Tesla Model S
Poor Battery Life on 85w Tesla Model S
I've been driving my P85 in the Phoenix area since late August. I have about 4,500 miles. My lifetime average is 294 Wh/mi and dropping.
Maybe the owners suspecting battery problems could team up with an owner of a similar model who doesn't suspect problems. Meet up and fully charge both cars, check tyre pressure etc. Do a reasonable drive with one driver following the other. Swap cars, and who leads, for the return trip. Comparing the out/return kWh/mi will point to whether it is the vehicle or driver. It will also show up discrepencies in the reported range. And you get to meet up with another owner for a day out :-)
That would detect whether one was afflicted with twitch-foot!
There are so many factors affecting range. In the Canadian summer, my average energy use is well below rated. In the winter it is above.
One thing I noticed, is that last time I did a range charge, I had 419 rated km. I immediately started driving. It didn't tick down to 418km until I had driven about 10k. I did a total of 850 km that weekend with an average energy use of 173 Wh/km (about 278 Wh/mile).
I think part of the issue is that determining the amount of energy left in the battery is not so straight forward.
Also, the 19 tires are quite a bit better than the 21's.
I'm also having problems with my 40 battery. I used to wake up to 160 "ideal" miles. A few months later, it's 140 "ideal" miles and trending downwards. When I called to ask I was told someone would call me back to address my concerns. I never got a call back for many weeks. Ultimately I was told this is a manager related issue and that there are many others with the same complaint. Since our batteries are software limited, I couldn't see why they would not just adjust the software to increase the ideal mileage to 160 as it should be. I understand the rated miles could depend on my driving habits but the ideal range should remain at 160. I get the feeling Tesla is aware of this problem but is trying to avoid it. Agree with others that sweeping owners concerns under the carpet is not a wise strategy for the company.
Thread is for discussing 85. Duh
In a parallel/series battery system, if a couple cells in a "brick" are lost, that brick can show lower voltage earlier than the others, that can then lead to lower overall pack capacity, if the BMS can report a low voltage condition in this scenario, it can lead to a fixable condition. Can an SC look at a battery pack in this way?
I've had my 85 for almost 11 months and put 16,935 miles on it. I did a 100% charge today and allow it to sit for another 2 hours plugged in. Range at full charge was 242 miles; a decrease of 8.67%. Not too shabby. Average wh/mile is around 320 - suburban Boston, so it's cold.
@rdloftin, that doesn't seem too good... My car has more miles than yours, and consistently range charges between 267 and 272. It is actually higher than it was a few months ago after we ran it from full to empty every day for about ten straight days. The battery seems to like exercise in its full range. I never leave it fully charged, but do range charge once or twice per week to make a long commute between our homes.
I, also have had some battery concerns after 1 year and 11,000 miles. It's winter here and colder than last year, but my standard charge is less than for a 60. Also, the battery takes a long time to warm up even after heating the cabin. It often takes around 40 miles to warm up with continuous freeway driving. Then when i stop it cools down pretty quickly. As a result, my energy efficiency is quite poor. also, i don't get the battery cold message anymore. I asked the service center to look at it, but i think all they did was put a note on the service record to the effect that i needed to be educated. That the battery gets cold when it's cold out and that i should preheat the cabin because when i do that, the battery heater comes and conditions the battery. (Btw, i've been told previously by service that this is not true). I asked them how long it would take to condition the battery and they said about 15 minutes. Today, in 20 degrees, i preheated for 2.5 hours and the regen limit line moved fron 7 to 14, while the power restriction line stayed at 160. When i drove off, it took 15 miles to get full regen back. Then i stopped for 15 minutes and regen went to 45 and stayed there for the remaing 10 miles of the trip. I suspect there is a problem either in the battery cooling/warming system or some cells have droped out or both. But i think that service has been hearing so many complaints about winter perfomance that they've stopped listening. I'll eventually get it resolved with persistence.
@David - Have you ever tried to schedule charging so it would finish just 15 to 30 minutes prior to your morning commute?
I've been doing so this whole winter and there's no limited regen or cold battery message in the morning. Assuming the car is charged in the garage, there's no need to use cabin preheating in the morning.
The return commute in the evening is another story. Cabin heating for 20+ minutes prior to departure will still result in limited regen. However, it is still better than no regen at all.
Give it a try and see for yourself...
Actually I have. It used to work. I'm going to do it today to see what's up
@David: I think the regen limits are now set more conservatively this winter, as compared to last.
Cold batteries don't like to be recharged at high rates.

David: Try setting the cabin heat to "hi" when you pre-heat. I've read that the battery is only heated in this setting, not if you set a target temp.
After 12K miles and August heat to this weeks subzero temps, this 85K battery pak is amazing me. Absolutely consistent, every day. Regen limits seem fine, and usually disappear after a few miles or minutes. Have seen no degradation in charge capacity whatsoever. One thing I noticed is that with the "slide" charge limit capability, it is a perception issue. In other words, the screen appears 80% but varies a bit each time set. So it goes from 199 range miles, to say 204 the next week after a weekend road trip and one range charge for example. After settling in with it, I am stunned at the technical aspects of this car, and the reliability and ability to use it. Wish I could say half that about the TV, phones, computers in the house....ha
Normally, i would agree with idea that it's cold and things are limited until the battery warms up. Except for 2 things:it consistently takes abot 40 miles to warm up, and i never get the battery cold message anymore. Makes me think that some of the software is thinking the battery is warm and some of it doesn't. But i'll try heating on hi. Btw, service has said in the past that heating the cabin does not heat the battery, but allows the cold heating cycle to work faster after you start driving.
@David T: I have noticed that when in "range mode" I do not get the "Battery is warming" message. I think that the battery warms much slower in "range mode" as well as it seems to take longer to get regen braking back in cold weather. So are you in range mode?
Yes, I am. Thanks for the suggestion. I will switch it back and see if the behavior changes. I would have thought that the battery would heat faster in range mode. Is this documented somewhere?
Range mode definitely slows the warm up, both with climate and battery heating.
Today, I turned off range mode. The message came back. The battery appeared to warm more quickly, about 15-20 miles instead of 40. Also, I noticed that the energy usage was vastly improved. Before changing it, I was averaging around 400 wh/m over 30 miles, and after I turned it off, it was more like 335 wh/m. Silly me, I thought range mode meant "get more range" but it appears to be "eat more range"; at least in cold weather.
I haven't tried out the heating the cabin on hi suggestion yet. I deliberately did not charge the car to run the battery down. used about 53 Kwh since last charge and got about 135-140 miles with about a 30 mile average of 40 left. so that seems to be about what other people are seeing with the same weather conditions. Fortunately, it has been about 20 degrees F all three days.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
I had a similar range problem once in an ICE. It turned out that the brakes had been adjusted too tight. I found this out when they caught fire on a highway trip.
Driving with your brakes on isn't good for mileage.
Ok, I think I understand what's going on here. First, heating the cabin on HI did heat the battery, while heating on anything else didn't. But only when the charge cable is plugged in. Thanks for the tip.
Second, I took it from Range mode to regular and the message popped up again. Also, the battery heated up pretty quickly for the the 20 degree temps we were having (I didn't preheat the battery for this trip). Also the energy efficiency was dramatically improved. In range mode with warm battery averaged 400, without range mode averaged 335. all on city streets.
My conclusion: Range mode doesn't appear to help in cold weather either before or after the battery warms up. Now I just have it in regular mode with the heater fan turned down and the temp comfortable and I'm happy. Thanks for all the help. More than I got from the service center.
In own a P85 and live in Seattle area, traveling 80+ miles per day. We are experiencing what is considered "cold" weather and I'm getting 210 miles on a rated 220 charge. My last 9.6K miles have an average 358W/mi, that's with 60% of my daily commute at 65mph and heat on, and 10+ mins "warming up" before I even get in the seat, in hilly terain. I will drain my battery 3 to 4 times a month down to 10 miles or less range before charging, and have not experience any degrading of battery life. I recently left Enumclaw Washington with a FULL charge(265 miles and assume 85Kwh), drove by the Centralia Super Charger (my wife thought I was crazy)and made it to the Woodburn Oregon Super Charger(200 miles per MapQuest), albeit I had 0 miles range for the last 10 miles(average speed 70mph) and my actual consumption was 76Kwh, yes..there is a reserve if you got the nerve! We did a full charge there and went on down to the San Fran area, and drove back to Seattle a few days later, using the Super Charger network all the way. I am approaching 15k miles in 6 months and have seen zero degrading of charging...it will always charge up to 220 rated miles(my setting), but I won't always get that in actual miles driven. The one thing you MUST keep in mind, range will always be effected by outside temperature, driving habits and terrain. I read with wonderment how some of you think you can drive at 80mph and expect your actual driven miles to be the rated miles.
I owned a Volt for 18 months putting 30K miles on it and only put 31 gals of (shudder) gas in it, so my range anxiety is pretty low. I am grateful that I can now ween myself entirely from the demon fossil fuel. Tesla is a great automobile, and will get better as the engineers fix some of the glitches
Zero degradation is a great result. You're obviously doing some things right!
I'm also having battery issues on my 85W Model S. It seems I can't get anything above 250 mile charge when I need a full charge (270+) for a very occasional trip. Several calls to Tesla with no solution yet.
I've had the car over a year with just 5,000 miles.
Any comments/ideas?
With temps hitting 50 here in Chicago for the first time since I've owned my S85 (12/17/13), I finally saw some amazing (for me at least) energy usage numbers...I drove 90 miles yesterday with an average of 304 Wh/m! I've been consistently in the upper 300s and mostly 400s. Can't wait to see the performance when it really warms up.
@ITSelectric - Ditto the energy usage for my S60 in the high 40's.
A 20 degrees difference resulted in 25% drop in battery usage.
I was white-knuckling it down to visit my daughter at college a few weeks ago...averaging 430+ all the way down at 70mph with temps around 5°F...rolled into town with just 24 miles left of rated range which I knew was really closer to 16. Luckily there's a supercharger right across the street from her dorm so 20 minutes later I had 100+ miles left and we had a nice visit. Stayed at the hotel across the street and left it on the supercharger all night and had 50 miles left when we got home with temps around 15°F. Looking forward to summer more than ever this year!
Temp makes a huge difference. Last month when it was -9C (15F) I drove to work and averaged 666 Wh/m. That was starting out in the garage that was at +11C. Now when it hits 20C in the afternoon (68F) I make the same trip at 320 Wh/m.
@mstrobl2 - So a 53F degrees difference yielded 52% reduction in energy usage.
From our limited poll, it seems like the MS will incur roughly 1% energy usage increase for every degree (F) drop in temperature. At least from 15F to 68F...
Mathew: Yes, but keep in mind that my commute is short at only 7 miles each way, so there's a big energy penalty in heating the cabin & battery. I drove a bit further in cold weather and got 380 Wh/m.
Well, my round trip commute is typically 50 - 70 miles each day. So the 25% reduction in battery usage when the temperature increased by 20 degrees is in line with your observations too.
Math it out, 80,000 watts divided by 400 watts per mile equals 200 miles of range.

What a find! We love this place! At last, a new restaurant in Roseville worth talking about. We weren't familiar with Peruvian food, but what a surprise. We're amazed by the superior cuisine, stylish presentation and service quality. The atmosphere is contemporary and relaxed. The portions are large to huge, and are exquisitely prepared by Chef Jean Carlo. Chef Juliano is a master behind the Ceviche Bar preparing 7 unique and delicious ceviches with the freshest fish and ingredients. These are not your Mexican ceviches where the fish or shrimp are minced. La Huaca's are made with large slices pieces. Our favorite is the Ceviche De Recoto which has a great balance of sweetness and heat. It came accompanied with yam slices marinated in citrus and spices as well as a side of the large Peruvian corn kernels. We also enjoyed appetizers named "Causis" which are a combination of imported Peruvian potatoes with shrimp, octopus or meat with delicious sauces, and beautifully presented. The large Nikkei Salad is so refreshing.
There are so many dishes we like, but our favorite main dishes are the creamy Peruvian Seafood soup with fish and perfectly cooked shrimp with chili peppers and rice, the slow braised Lamb shank, the Filet Mignon pasta dish, and the shrimp pasta with cherry tomatoes, asparugus in a unique Peruvian sauce. There is such a variety of items on the menu that there is something for everyone. We so like the Peruvian wines and beers, but also like the creative Peruvian specialty drinks.
We highly recommend La Huaca for it's quality cuisine and professional and friendly service at a great value. Thanks to Miguel, the Chefs and servers for making our dining experience so memorable.

The attorney for the Claretian Missionaries said the Miami Archdiocese never told them when abuse allegations first surfaced against one of their priests in the late 1970s.
"We never received any notice, nor were we ever made aware of these allegations," said Richard Leamy, who represents both the priest and the Claretian Missionaries based in Chicago.
The Rev. Ronald John Luka, 65, is accused of sexually abusing two boys when he was pastor of St. Helen Catholic Church and School in Lauderdale Lakes from 1976 to 1978. The now 37-year-old men, Stephen Calvert and Scott Melanson, filed the suit at Miami-Dade Circuit Court on Monday. The lawsuit claims Luka molested the then-12- and 13-year-old boys at his home in Fort Lauderdale, on overnight trips and during a cross-country trips.
A complaint was made in 1978 to St. Helen's head priest, the Rev. Patrick Murnane, who "promised to take appropriate action," documents said. When the boys returned to school in the fall, Luka was gone, the lawsuit claims.
The Claretian Missionaries say Murnane or the archdiocese should have reported any complaints to the group. Murnane, who is now pastor of Nativity Church and Catholic School in Hollywood, and Mary Ross Agosta, spokeswoman for the Miami Archdiocese, could not be reached for comment.
Attorney Joel Magolnick, who represents the former altar boys, thinks the archdiocese "had an obligation to inform" the Claretians of the previous allegations.
"While we don't know yet whether there are any additional victims, certainly having the knowledge of the potential danger could have averted additional incidents," he said.
After leaving St. Helen, Luka, an itinerant preacher, visited a different parish every week for years. Luka preached at a parish in Central Florida in 1999.
It was during that year that the Claretian Missionaries "first received allegations of misconduct," Leamy said. He would not detail what the complaints were or who made them but said they had taken place in New York state around 1979.
The Claretians sent Luka to a treatment center for troubled priests, Leamy said. The Claretians "determined he should be permanently removed from public ministry." Luka resides at a long-term treatment center in Missouri.

Pork Production Forecast for '06 Bodes Well for Retailers
DES MOINES, Iowa -- Good news lies ahead for food retailers in 2006 with regard to availability and opportunities to promote fresh pork, so says the National Pork Board here.
DES MOINES, Iowa -- Good news lies ahead for food retailers in 2006 with regard to availability and opportunities to promote fresh pork, so says the National Pork Board here.
U.S. pork production is expected to grow in 2006 with a 1 percent to 3 percent increase in hog slaughter, while hog weights will continue to climb by 0.5 percent to 1 percent.
"We anticipate hog demand to continue to be robust and for pork demand to possibly grow in 2006," said economist Steve Meyer, of Paragon Economics. "As beef prices move higher, it appears pork remains a great alternative for retailers. The key for U.S. pork prices in 2006 will be exports." Meyer said exports are up more than 50 percent from two years ago and have been a major factor for the price strength in 2005, which marks the industry's 13th straight record export year.
Other proteins are also expected to experience growth. U.S. beef production is projected to increase modestly in 2006 as Canadian feeder and slaughter cattle return to the U.S. market. The expected resumption of exports to Japan will be positive for beef prices, which are expected to fall only slightly in 2006. U.S. chicken output is poised to grow rapidly provided the bird flu and consumers' concerns regarding the issue are kept in check.
Speculation about other consumer issues affecting pork demand includes the comeback of the low-carb diet and the possible decline of gasoline prices. "If consumers jump back on the low-carb diet bandwagon, pork could benefit greatly. Also if gas prices fell, consumers may have more disposable income to put toward eating out or traveling, which might positively affect pork demand," said Meyer. "There are a number of consumer 'taste and preference' issues that could positively affect pork demand; however, it is very difficult to predict those."
Though pork sales are traditionally strongest during the warmer months of April through September, retailers have opportunities to help drive fresh pork sales during the first quarter.
According to FreshLook Syndicated data, pork chop sales are 2 percent higher during the first quarter than the average quarter across the year. Also higher in the first quarter are ground pork sales (up 7 percent), smoked pork sales (2 percent) and pork offal sales (2 percent). Pork roast and tenderloin also hold great potential for retailers.
"Pork roasts and tenderloin sales are typically strongest during the fourth quarter -- the holiday season," noted Karen Boillot, director of retail marketing for the Pork Board. "However, FreshLook shows us that first quarter is also a moderately strong quarter for these segments so there is the opportunity to springboard to higher sales."
Roast sales are 11 percent higher and tenderloin sales are 2 percent higher during first quarter than the average sales across both the second and third quarters. In addition, counter seasonal opportunities exist for pork ribs whose sales, while lower than the warmer months, pick up in the first quarter. Pork rib sales are 13 percent higher during the first quarter than they are during the fourth.
Retailers may also want to increase fresh pork feature support in the first quarter to help boost pork sales. According to Leemis Promo Data, fresh pork's share of features during the first quarter of 2005 were 16 percent -- tied with the fourth quarter of 2004 yet lower than the third quarter of 2004 (17 percent) and the second quarter (18 percent).
"By featuring pork during the first quarter," says Boillot, "retailers can remind consumers of the fresh pork option and keep pork top of mind during consumers' weekly shopping trip."

Being a classic car fan, you've probably heard plenty of talk about automotive 'holy grails'. For MoPar guys, owning a Hemi 'Cuda is likened to a lifetime achievement award. Most Ford buffs would saw an arm off to find a real-deal Boss 429. And when it comes to the GM camp, incredible Corvettes like this rare Split-Window keep getting hotter and hotter. While classic Corvette culture may have started with big block cars, their small block siblings are beginning to command serious respect. And this blue chip Sting Ray, stunning from its correct silver paint all the way to its fuel injected 327/4-speed drivetrain, is at the very top of the value curve. If you're in the market for a killer C2 that looks good, drives great and can stand its ground on any show field, they don't get much better than this!
The beneficiary of a 2-year restoration that was completed in late 2008, this slick Corvette features a glossy, correct appearance that highlights solid, attractive bodywork. Take one look down the sides of the car's sinuous body and it becomes very obvious that great care was taken to ensure every panel is aligned to better-than-new condition. Step closer to that body's mirror-like paint and check out its straight and ripple-free surfaces, which are a product of both clean OEM fiberglass and high quality replacement pieces. Grab the pivotal pieces of that well-adjusted resin and experience the kind of excellent fit and finish that's right at home reflecting a summertime car show. Then step back to admire one very well done classic that was built to cruise.
Tilt the car's lightweight hood and you'll find a 327 cubic inch small block that, in addition to displaying a familiar 3782870 casting number and correct "RF" suffix code, has been stamped with a matching partial VIN. Holding the title of "World's most powerful, naturally aspirated single-cam V8" until the debut of the 2001 Corvette Z06, Chevrolet's impressive L84 utilized wide-bore casting, a forged steel crank, forged pistons and a hot cam to turn stout 11 to 1 compression into an advertised 360 horsepower. At the top of the spry mill, a big, AC-branded air tube funnels wind in to a vintage Rochester injection system that's threaded onto a small AC fuel filter and clean stainless fluid lines. Below that era-correct juice box, a clean Winters intake perfectly complements finned Corvette valve covers. At the back of that intake, chrome-cased ignition shoots spark past correct exhaust manifolds via chrome-sleeved wires. At the front of those manifolds, a Harrison-branded radiator circulates coolant through pliable hoses and authentic tower clamps. And details like a rebuilt alternator, a Harrison overflow tank and a reproduction Delco battery ensure this Chevy runs every bit as good as it looks.
Peer under this well-planted coupe and you'll find a Satin Black chassis that's straight, solid and ready to pound the pavement. The L84 sends power to a date-correct Borg Warner 4-speed, which spins a 1966 GM axle. In front of that transmission, a double A-arm suspension employs an authentic-feeling manual steering rack. Opposite that rack, a transverse leaf suspension does an excellent job of increasing grip. In the middle of the car's bare floors, aluminized, true-dual exhaust pipes shuttle spent gases through fresh, rear mounted mufflers. At the corners of the car's suspension, traditional drum brakes mix firm stops with solid handling. And all that fully sorted hardware rolls on handsome knock-off-style wheels, which spin 6.70-15 US Royal Safety 100 whitewalls.
Slip in to this Vette's correct interior and settle on one of its comfortable, Dark Blue buckets. Those seats are as original, with correct lap belts framing stainless trimmed bracketry. From the driver's perch, stock gauges bleed onto their bordering panels in a march toward a center-mount clock, a Delco AM/FM radio and an aluminum-trimmed glove box. Below that clock, like-new carpet floats heavy-duty sills and color-keyed floor mats at the sides of a factory console that's fitted with a small armrest and chrome shifter. Opposite that console, stainless-trimmed door panels hang opposing armrests between traditional handles and stylish accents. And in front of the driver, a satin-spoke steering wheel laps a classy cross-flag emblem.
Before we wrap things up, here's a quick look at the car's VIN and Data Plate:VIN: 30837SXXXXXX
- 3: 1963 model year
- 08: Chevrolet Corvette
- 37: 2-door sports coupe
- S: Assembled in St. Louis
- XXXXXX: Production Sequence Number
- K3: Assembled during the third (3) week of July (K), 1963
- 63: 1963 model year
- 837: 2-door sports coupe
- 9929: Sequential body number
- 490J: Dark Blue vinyl interior
- 941A: Sebring Silver paint
- An Owner's Guide
- A factory radio tag
According to the experts, Chevrolet built roughly 10K Split-Window coupes. But, given how rarely the cars appear, that number seems a bit optimistic. With its correct paint, correct interior and exclusive 'fuelie' drivetrain, this Sting Ray is a first class example of America's favorite sports car. Don't miss your opportunity to own one of the most coveted Corvettes ever!

Why does it take Task Manager longer to appear when you start it from the Ctrl+Alt+Del dialog?
Amit was curious why it takes longer for Task Manager to appear when you start it from the Ctrl+Alt+Del dialog compared to launching it from the taskbar. Well, you can see the reason right there on the screen: You're launching it the long way around. If you launch Task Manager from the taskbar, Explorer just launches taskmgr.exe via the usual CreateProcess mechanism, and Task Manager launches under the same credentials on the same desktop. On the other hand, when you use the secure at...

That's Not TDD
A few months ago I was visiting a client who was having a lot of problems using TDD. "It takes over half an hour to run our unit tests," he said. "You are not doing TDD," I said. "In order for tests to be valuable all of them must run fast—within a few seconds, or developers will stop running tests frequently." "But how to I make them run fast?" he asked, "Just connecting to the database takes 30 seconds" So I showed him a technique called Dependency Injections that allowe...

Method chaining and lazy evaluation in Ruby
Method chaining has been all the rage lately and every database wrapper or aything else that's uses queries seems to be doing it. But, how does it work? To figure that out, we'll write a library that can chain method calls to build up a MongoDB query in this article. Let's get started! Oh, and don't worry if you haven't used MongoDB before, I'm just using it as an example to query on. If you're using this guide to build a querying library for something else, the MongoDB pa...
