RE: Warranties and Batteries

Comment comment by PowerPointSamurai on 16 November 2005

Yeah, I read your article both here and the commentary it generated on Slashdot. In typical Slashdot fashion, the responses ranged from constructive and insightful from well informed people to crazy rants from self-righteous wanna be's that think they are smart. Anyway, I think the hybrid upgrades are cool as hell in their own right from an engineering standpoint even if it doesn't meet the cost analysis, which is exacerbated by the battery issue if you cut your battery life and have to prematurely replace them. Still, there is something to be said for saving energy even if it doesn't save you money right this second.

RE: Warranties and Batteries by Brandon :: NR9

Right, the issue is much more complicated than just my what my article covers, but at least I now have one good resource to use when looking at the hybrid/no-hybrid enigma - something I can realistically see myself doing over and over as gas prices, hybrid prices, and fuel efficiency continue to change.

Look at me, tooting my own horn... It must be backlash from reading some of those "crazy rants from self-righteous wannabes that think they are smart." :)
