It's no iPhone, but I'll take it!
Tesla provided some engineering assistance with early designs for the fortwo ED (formerly EV), and collaborated with Daimler to create this engineering mule to demonstrate the vehicle's feasibility. Tesla is providing the battery packs for (at least) the first 1000 production fortwo ED vehicles.
The first generation of the fortwo was available in both petrol (gasoline) and diesel versions; the second generation is gasoline only.
Sure, this would be cool.
So... are these like Monster Cables?
I could definitely use this! I'm still using the speakers from my boombox from the 1980s!
I'm on Time Warner in the Wisconsin region, and I had both a CableCard and a tuning adapter installed about a week and a half ago.

Getting the cablecard working was a pain - it took the installer almost two hours, but that was only because the central office apparently has issues reading, and completely FUBARed copying the CableCard ID number that the tech texted back to the office into the authorization system. On the other hand, the tuning adapter was literally plug and play - no issues at all to speak of. As soon as the cablecard was working, the tuning adapter started working as well.

Since then, the worst issue is that a channel just stays black as I'm "flipping." If I tune off and back onto the channel, it comes in just fine. Everything else has been absolutely perfect, and let me tell you, I so do NOT miss the craptastical Time Warner "Navigator" software on their cable boxes. Ugh.

(As a side note, I've been extremely happy with my experience working with Time Warner. Before the service visit, I got a call from a very cordial and knowledgeable tech, who spent time finding out what kind of TiVo I had, letting me know that he would try to pull one of the area's first M-Cards for me, and he spent time to make sure I didn't have any questions. The techs that came out didn't seem to mind at all spending the two hours that it took to get it working.)
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
