norwegian it aint.
Nice! She will be looking like his for the next 20 years if she takes a huge load in her face twice a week.
Loves it
listen to death metal while watchin this for the real feeling. just sayin
why does 90% of the comments have to be about her being norwegian, weather or not she were born in denmark sweeden or afghanistan, shes speaking norwegian perfectly and thats all i need to know :)
She is NOT an NORWEGIAN, read down or skip the explenation bellow. She can speak the norwegian dialect sunnmore, but i dont think she is from Norway. 17:59 she talks danish or swedish. If we think logical: She grow up in for example Sweden, she will learn swedish in her childhood. Then she move to Norway, learn a new language, and start using it because she needs it more than swedish by the moment. So, she knows swedish, but uses norwegian 95% of the time.. Which make me disappointed of being smart.. She is not an norwegian =(

Transit system offers tracking app for riders
Green Bay Metro recently launched a new free online service that allows bus riders to check the location of their bus in real time.
Officials say the "Where Is My Bus?" app is especially handy for commuters who want to avoid standing at a bus stop outside in the bitter cold or other nasty weather.
Riders can access the app on their laptops or smartphones.
Green Bay Metro serves about 1.5 million riders annually with a variety of services, including 14 bus routes that extend throughout Green Bay, De Pere, Ashwaubenon and other area communities.
Riders already standing at a bus stop can email the system - using a coded number posted on their bus stop sign - to see if their bus is on time.
For more information about the new app, go to www.greenbaymetro.org.

If healthy, Derry expects to become more consistent
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Oh, that injury bug. It certainly bit the Derry football team last year.
Trying to reverse a losing trend, Derry needs some stability in its lineup. Avoiding injuries should help.
"We think we can make some progress, but we've got to stay off the injuries," Derry coach Al Gaiardo said.
The Trojans' 2011 record was respectable before leading rusher Josh Wannamaker tore his ACL and quarterback Robbie Hebenthal broke his collarbone in a victory over Albert Gallatin that evened their mark at 2-2.
The two were lost for the season and Derry went winless the rest of the way, finishing at 2-7 with a five-game losing streak.
Gaiardo, a former St. Vincent College assistant, is trying to convince his teams that they can win consistently. He uses his experience at upstart St. Vincent as motivation. The NCAA Division III Bearcats revived their football program in 2007 and didn't post a winning record until going 6-5 last season.
"The big hurdle in taking over a program is convincing the kids that they can win," he said. "You tell the stories, like we barely competed with any team when we first got it going at St. Vincent, but here they were four years later winning."
It isn't just injuries that compounded matters at Class AAA Derry, which moves to the Greater Allegheny Conference from the Keystone Conference. Depth on the roster also has been an issue.
"Once those two (Wannamaker and Hebenthal) went down, that was a big blow to our team," Gaiardo said. "The dropoff from first team to second team was pretty noticeable."
Senior kicker Tyler Matusak, who is attracting interest from Division I FCS schools, such as Bucknell, Lafayette and Villanova, also plays wide receiver and cornerback.
"But where he excels is in field-goal kicking," Gaiardo said. "Having Tyler on the team is another weapon for us. If the game is close, it's nice to have a guy like him around."

NC State University's College Of Textiles Receives Manufacturing Grant From Walmart Innovation Fund
RALEIGH, N.C. — August 14, 2014 — A team from NC State University's College of Textiles accepted a $639,112 award from Walmart's U.S. Manufacturing Innovation Fund today from Walmart, the Walmart Foundation and the United States Conference of Mayors (USCM). The announcement came at the 2014 U.S. Manufacturing Summit in Denver where a total of seven leading research and development institutions were awarded $4 million in grants to create new processes, ideas and jobs that will foster America's growing manufacturing footprint.
"Researchers at many of America's best universities are hard at work on tough manufacturing challenges," said Kathleen McLaughlin, president of the Walmart Foundation. "We are excited to support the development of innovative solutions, which we hope will unlock new opportunity for manufacturing in this country."
The implementation of new technologies in digital fabric printing and assembly operations will enable significant portions of the outdoor furniture soft goods production to be cost effectively manufactured in the U.S. and be globally competitive. College of Textiles faculty members Lisa Chapman, Harold Freeman, Trevor Little, Nancy Powell, Andre West and Mark Sawchak from Expand Systems will work with industry partners such as Arden Companies and specialty chemical suppliers to develop an optimal digital printing system. Digitally printed fabrics for outdoor furnishings coupled with an efficient cut and sew fabrication process offer a game-changing strategy for the domestic textile complex. Digital technologies enable product innovations not feasible using current production methods in this category, as well as a flexible and responsive supply chain capable of quick response to customer market trends.
"This year's grant recipients represent the ingenuity and inventive thinking that could ultimately unlock the full potential of manufacturing in the U.S.," said Cindi Marsiglio, Walmart vice president of U.S. sourcing and manufacturing. "We're thrilled to support the efforts of the NC State University College of Textiles to transform the processes that will ultimately drive resurgence in American manufacturing."
The Innovation Fund, which focuses on the development of domestic manufacturing with a specific goal of advancing the production or assembly of consumer products in the U.S., will provide a total of $10 million in grants over the next five years. This year's grant recipients were selected for their ability to address two key areas that currently present barriers to increased domestic manufacturing:
- Reducing the cost of textiles manufacturing, including home textiles and apparel, in the U.S. by addressing obstacles throughout production
- Improving common manufacturing processes with broad application to many types of consumer products
"We are so pleased that our organization has pursued this partnership with Walmart to spur job creation in America's cities," said USCM CEO and Executive Director Tom Cochran. "Manufacturing is coming back to this country, and the nation's mayors want to support that wherever possible."
"This grant further validates North Carolina State University and Raleigh as national leaders in innovation," says Raleigh Mayor Nancy McFarlane. "In January, President Barack Obama selected the university to lead a national research institute on clean energy. Today, Walmart, the Walmart Foundation and the U.S. Conference of Mayors have turned to N.C. State to help with American manufacturing."
"The City of Sanford believes in the resurgence of manufacturing in our area and nationwide," said Sanford Mayor T. Chet Mann. "We will continue to be leaders in attracting and retaining good quality manufacturing jobs with companies that are good corporate citizens. This Made in America grant award to North Carolina State University is very deserved. We are very excited about this initiative and look forward to seeing its results in our community. "
The Innovation Fund is another milestone in Walmart's broader commitment to help revitalize U.S.-based manufacturing. In January 2013, Walmart announced the retailer would buy an additional $250 billion in products supporting American manufacturing and American jobs by 2023.
Together, these commitments represent a significant investment that will help accelerate the pace of U.S. manufacturing growth. By making production in the U.S. more cost-effective and efficient, the global retailer believes it can bring its customers an increasing number of American-made products and ultimately create more jobs in communities across the country.

Arizona vs. Belmont in NCAA Tournament: Wildcats on upset alert?
The rapid reaction from CBS analyst Seth Davis on the NCAA Tournament selection show was that Belmont would upset Arizona on Thursday. Later he tweeted: "Arizona's number one weakness all season was defending the three. Belmont is spread, drive, kick and shoot. Plus they're poised." Several others jumped on the idea of the 11th-seeded Bruins beating the No. 6 Wildcats was a popular one. Here is a sampling of what the media was saying about Arizona and its opening-game matchup against Belmont:

A proposed pipeline would carry natural gas through the Eau Claire County Forest.
Eau Claire County Parks and Forest Director Josh Pederson says We Energies wants to run the gas line which would serve communities along the route in the Eastern part of the county, running south to Tomah. If approved, construction could begin next year. We Energies will discuss the proposal at Tuesday's Parks and Forest Committee meeting. The state's Public Service Commission will hold a public hearing Thursday from 2:30 to 7pm at the Best Western Arrowhead Lodge and Suites in Black River Falls. Pedersen says if the pipeline is built, the route could be developed into trails for snowmobiles or atvs. Pedersen says residents can comment on the proposal at any committee or county board meeting during the time set aside for public comments, or by contacting him at the Eau Claire County Parks and Forest Department.

Green Bay MVP Aaron Rodgers puts up elite numbers, except in one area: he consistently fails to deliver fourth-quarter comebacks. He's so bad, in fact, that the closest comparison is Bill Kenney, Kansas City's forgotten 'Mr. Irrelevant' QB of the 1980s.

Contemporary Romance
Rating: 3 Cups
Reporter Molly Clark has decided she is going to be the first to get the story on a company dispute in Colorado Springs. However, in order to do that, she is going to have fly, and Molly hates flying. Her only choice is a small charter plane run by Hampton Charter. She cannot believe her eyes when she spots the back of a familiar looking head and discovers the lover she ran from in Iran a year before is flying the plane.
Mike Hampton, a former marine, does not plan on letting Molly get away from him a second time. Completely in love with her, he will do just about anything to keep her at his side. Anything, that is, except crash his plane just to have time to convince her of his feelings.
When both engines on Mike's Cessna cut out shortly after their flight begins, he is desperate to land the plane safely and keep them both alive. However, winning Molly's trust becomes a full-time job while they are stranded. It is only when Molly begins to accept the reality of her own feelings and to trust Mike, that the possibility of a future together becomes real.
Ms. Lowery pens a sweetly engaging contemporary romance with a touch of erotic spice. I enjoyed reading about Mike and Molly's romance. The author had clearly done her research when it came to planes and the Rockies, and this made for enjoyable reading. The characters were painted in a realistic way, as was their relationship. This book would be a good addition to anyone's collection.

What are developmentally appropriate exercises?
When picking activities always remember what the game of soccer is like - players are moving around constantly. Because everyone is moving the environment is constantly changing which requires players to be constantly making decisions. It is because of this that practice games are more effective than 'drills' at teaching kids how to play soccer, even when dealing with techniques like how to pass the ball. Many coaches choose to do drills that involve players standing in lines waiting to have a turn. This type of drill is not 'soccer-like'. No child should be encouraged to stand in a line and wait a turn. There are plenty of soccer like games that can be used to teach any technique or tactical concept.
Enjoyment is the unifying motive. Some children don't want to learn. Some don't care about winning. A few have no interest in hard work and one or two can't remember which goal they're attacking. In spite of all of their different agendas they all want to have fun and play a game, that is what brings them there.
They also want to be children. Too often the coach sees them as an extension of his vision and they become puppets to it. The time spent at practice and at the games is a part of their childhood. It should not reflect the adult world. Some adults forget this and their expectations take the fun out of the experience. Take time to consider coaching style and understand that your expectations and hopes may not be shared by the children you're coaching.

BAKU, Azerbaijan (AP) - A gunman fatally shot Azerbaijan's air force chief outside his home on Wednesday, the Defense Ministry said.
Azerbaijan's chief military prosecutor, speaking from the rain-soaked site of the shooting of Lt. Gen. Rail Rzayev's home in the capital, Baku, said authorities did not know the motive.
Rzayev's driver told investigators both men were outside the general's home and the driver was throwing bag of garbage away at the request of his boss when he heard a gunshot, according to prosecutor Khanlar Veliyev. It appeared Rzayev died of a single gunshot wound to the head, Veliyev said .
Veliyev said investigators were looking at security-camera footage from the home and searching the area for clues, but were hampered by heavy rains that fell overnight.
Rzayev, 63, was a longtime Soviet military officer who became head of Azerbaijan's air force shortly after the country gained independence in the 1991 Soviet collapse.
As air-defense forces chief, he had represented Azerbaijan in talks with Russia and the U.S. on Moscow's 2007 proposal to make a Soviet-built radar station in Azerbaijan part of a joint missile shield to protect against a potential threat from Iran.
The Kremlin's proposal failed to persuade the U.S. administration to abandon plans for missile defense facilities in Poland and the Czech Republic, which Russian officials contend are actually aimed to weaken their country.
Moscow uses the Gabala station as part of its early-warning system. It is renting it until at least 2012, but is building a radar station in southern Russia as a potential alternative once that expires.
Located between Russia and Iran, Azerbaijan is a crucial link in Western efforts to reduce reliance on Russian energy exports and a target in Moscow's tug-of-war with the United States over regional influence.
The United States and European Union have cultivated warm ties with Azerbaijan because of its oil riches and its location on an energy export route bypassing Russia and Iran, and Azerbaijan is one of the few mostly Muslim countries that have sent troops to Iraq. But the U.S. and Europe have expressed concern over government treatment of opponents and independent media under President Ilham Aliyev, who succeeded his long-ruling father in 2003 after an election the opposition said was rigged.
Tension remains high with neighboring Armenia 15 years after a cease-fire in a war that left Azerbaijan's Nagorno-Karabakh territory in ethnic Armenian hands. Ruled for most of the past 15 years by members of a single family, Azerbaijan has a rich history of alleged coup plots and political machinations.

Theft you will always have with you. The fact is that people steal. They will steal from you. They will steal from you no matter what you do.
You can throw up your hands and let the thieves have their way. Or do something about it.
Start by being aware of some of the many ways that employees steal. It comes to you courtesy of one of the standard professional references: The Small Business Fraud Manual from the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners. Here are just a few ways that employees can get into your pocket.
They steal cash. They may take money right out of the till or the petty cash fund.
They steal by setting up phony vendors and paying them. This is a bit more sophisticated, but very common. Putting in for more pay than they deserve is a variation of this one.
They steal inventory or supplies. Sometimes this is low-cost items, like office supplies. Sometimes it's merchandise or machines worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
They steal by using equipment for their personal needs. This can be anything from hand tools or the office copier to giant construction equipment and sophisticated computers.
What can you do? Start with good hiring.
Use criminal background checks and pre-employment credit checks to help you spot potential trouble. Be sure to check references.
Set up policies and procedures that make it hard to steal or misuse equipment and that make it easy to catch when it happens. Your accountant can offer guidance on good fraud prevention practice.
Enforce the policies you have. Just having a policy or procedure in the manual isn't enough. Use it. Simple checklists can help you stay focused and thorough.
Make it a policy to run background checks and credit checks on people in positions of trust, especially those who handle money or authorize expenditures. Don't just do this when they're hired. Update your checks on a regular basis. If you spot signs of trouble, dig a little deeper.
There will always be thieves and good people who steal "just this once." But you can use good business practice and fraud prevention tools to keep your business as safe and profitable as possible.

FARMINGTON — A proposed energy acquisition plan could put more shares of San Juan Generating Station in Farmington's hands by 2018.
On Wednesday afternoon, Farmington's Public Utility Commission approved a plan that calls for the Farmington Electric Utility System to negotiate the purchase of up to 65 megawatts of additional electric generation at the power plant's fourth unit. The plan is subject to final review by city administration, city council and the commission.
Out of the nine owners at San Juan Generating Station, all three California-based owners and one Colorado-based owner are leaving, said Jim McNicol, electric utility generation manager, at Wednesday's monthly commission meeting.
After they leave, there will be 119 megawatts of unsubscribed generation, he said.
"This is excess generation capacity for the remaining owners in the plant," McNicol said.
Farmington owns about 8 percent of the shares at the plant's fourth unit.
The city's current electric generation assets are 160 megawatts with all capacity online, but the typical useful capacity is 120 to 140 megawatts, McNicol said.
"The city is a net purchaser of power," McNicol said. "We look at difference scenarios for future load growth. You want to maintain diversity of fuel so you don't have all your eggs in one basket."
If Farmington decides to purchase more shares in unit four, it will also own a greater percentage of terminal liability, which includes costs of environmental cleanup when the plant eventually closes, he said.
But for McNicol and other electric utility officials, the opportunity to buy more shares could be a deal too appealing to pass up.
"The city of Farmington has an opportunity to get new capacity in unit four without (up front) costs," McNicol said.
Real costs moving forward would be between $200 per kilowatt and $400 per kilowatt, according to McNicol's presentation.
Building a new natural gas plant would have a building cost of about $1,400 per kilowatt, according to the presentation.
"Those are costs that we would pay for our share already," said Mike Sims, electric utility director. "The more likely scenario for the 119 megawatts if no one steps up is that someone else will. It's too good of a deal."
The plan to buy 65 of the 119 megawatts that will be available at unit four is part of a larger, long-term plan to expand the city's energy production portfolio. That could include building a 65 megawatt gas-fired plant around 2022, and an option to add solar power in the 2020s, according to a concurrent presentation made at Wednesday's meeting by Pat Augustine of Pace Global, a consultant hired by the city to evaluate its energy portfolio.
"The argument might be made that here's an opportunity to get away from dirty coal, but if it's going to be produced anyway, that sheds a different light on it," said Mayor Tommy Roberts.
Under the state implementation plan adopted to keep San Juan Generating Station in operation, units two and three will be shut down and pollution control technology will be installed on units one and four, Sims said.
This will cut down significantly on regional production of greenhouse gasses, he said.
"I don't think that's going to be a plant killer," Sims said. "This plant is probably in better shape than most coal plants for meeting future risks."
Unit four at San Juan Generating Station was built in 1982, McNicol said.
"This plant has a physical remaining life out to 2052," he said. "In the worst case scenario, it would close in 2025."
Wednesday's proposal also calls for phasing out production on aging 1950s equipment at Animas Power Plant.
City officials and utility commissioners said Wednesday afternoon's proposal could provide Farmington a secure path toward future economic growth.
"I can feel, that gut feeling we've got to do this now," said Commissioner Carol Cloer.
City Manager Rob Mayes echoed Cloer's comment and added that it is essential for the city to look at building a new gas-fired plant.
"We have to do something now," he said. "There's a five-year lead to build a combined cycle plant. This way, we allow ourselves time. We have to make the commitment now. The wait is too risky. When the need's here, we'll need the power."

Months after test-driving the Model S, I bought an Audi A7, sad to say. I post the following comments in hopes that Tesla will read them, heed them, make adjustments, and make the Model S more appealing to mainstream buyers like myself so that we can participate in the sustainable transport revolution.
I loved the concept, drive, look, and state-of-the-art technology of the Model S. It was different enough to get me excited about buying a car again. And it doesn't sacrifice range, power, or style as its EV predecessors do. Though it's more expensive and can't be justified by fuel savings (until gas goes north of $8/gallon), I could afford it as a second car and would really have fun owning one and participating in a revolution.
But I couldn't get past the interior.
Unfortunately, this is a very competitive class of cars and the Model S interior is far behind that of its rivals. The German automakers have evolved their cockpits to wrap around the driver just the right amount of tasteful appointments. I understand that the touchscreen eliminates the need for knobs and buttons and that's what's cool about the Model S. But it doesn't eliminate the need for door pockets, handles, hooks, armrests, and possibly even a more traditional shift lever just because many of us are used having these things.
Does the dash need to be pushed so far under the windshield just because there is no engine under the hood? Couldn't the touchscreen be a bit closer to the driver and angled that way to make the driver feel like the only one in the car (which they usually are)? Could the air vents be in better proportion to the large screen? Why can't there be something that fills in the space next to the driver's right leg, just because there is no transmission there? And how about a simple, familiar shift lever near my right hand to make me feel like I'm driving a car instead of a golf cart? Why can't the front seats be more substantial? Are these oversights all to save on the weight of the vehicle? Or was the interior simply an afterthought relative to the more substantial innovations of the Model S?
The Model S, as I configured it, was over $90K. And there's no pre-owned inventory. So I ultimately traded in my 15-year-old Lexus for a 2012 Audi A7 costing almost half as much and I love it. But I'm still burning gas and that's still in the back of my mind. So I'm hoping that Tesla will re-style the interior - they've solved many more difficult problems - and the next version of this car will win me over in the not-too-distant future.
To each his/her own. I love the minimalist interior.
Why can't there be something that fills in the space next to the driver's right leg, just because there is no transmission there?
Why would I want anything to "fill" that space? I can fill it with whatever I want.
Enjoy your Audi but do bear in mind you not only missed out on driving the most fun car every, but also the safest!
To all his/her own. I like Model S interior better than Audi. In fact, I looked at Audi and one of the reasons I didn't buy it is its interior. I liked even Japanese (Acura) interior better. And I could not fit my head in a Q7 with its sun/pano roof. Does that mean that I could not buy an Audi? No. I could, I just didn't want to.
Model S interior is different. It is minimalistic and spacious. No million knobs. Clean. Yet not typical "other American" that I could not swallow.
It isn't a competitive market. Tesla has no competition.
See my related thread about what me and my girlfriend consider to be not so appealing wood trim choices. The Model S can use an interior upgrade.
I hope you don't get attacked by Tesla fans but let me just say that you have a point to a certain extent. We were considering purchasing a W222 S Class but, unlike you, we decided the minimalist interior with wood trim we didn't like was negated by the vastly superior high performance EV experience and decided to get a Model S anyway.
From talking to people in the Mercedes forums, they concur with your assessment about the Model S interior and I agree with you to some extent.
I disagree with you about the display position and gear shifter. Not sure I would want the 17" screen positioned another way as I'd want the front passenger to have a clear view of the screen. Coming from a Mercedes I am completely used to where the shifter is and I think it is a complete waste of space to install a traditional shifter where it usually goes.
To us the EV drive train of the Model S was so good that we were willing to accept the Model S interior, uninspiring wood trims and all. But I know as Tesla grows to be a 500,000 unit car company they will have to take concerns like yours seriously.
I hope someone at Tesla reads your comments and realizes that your comments represent a segment of customers who may have passed up on a Model S. Yes right now Tesla is supply constrained but sooner or later they need to make the interior more competitive with cars in the same price range.
You just stay with your A7. The waiting list for the MS is 3~4 months long there are too many people like what the car is. As good it is it's definitely not for everyone. That's why there are so many car companies and brands.
PS: @stephen.bennett, even with the Model S interior being what it is, I think you passed up on the best driving production vehicle vehicle you can buy. Especially if you were considering a P85.
Enjoy your A7 and it does have a finer interior, better trim and materials, as well as better executed ambient lighting at night but the Model S is a better car to drive in almost every other way.
The A7 was my second choice. The 97K out the door price of my MS didn't make me flinch because the driving dynamics were far superior to the A7, and well, anything below 100K - Both cars have headroom problems. I'm 6'4" after all.
And Audi has dependability problems much like the early production MS.
A7? (fog horn sounds) Boooooring!
My grandpa drives an A7, it fits him well.
The Model S does not *really* compete with the A7. If the batteries had the same cost as a gas tank, you'd be comparing it to a more pedestrian family sedan.
Not a fair comparison.
In accentuating the superficial, you've lost sight of the essential. And that's okay. As others have said--to each their own. Currently, with the Model S, what you describe as shortcomings is of little concern to the company or stockholders since demand will outpace supply for the foreseeable future. I guess the BMW and Porsche that I've owned were down-market enough for me not to miss any of the luxury veneer which you find indispensable. I agree the Audi is a beautiful car and I'd have been thrilled with an RS6 until Tesla offered a vastly superior alternative.
@stephen.bennett. i had some of the same issues and purchased a new A7 TDI. Its not as economical as MS but gets an easy 40+mpg highway. The interior of the Audi sold me over the MS but if the MS interior improves then my wife gets the A7 and I get a model S.
FWIW-i ordered the A7 exactly as I wanted and it took 4 months so both vehicles take the same time to build/ship to the customer
Enjoy your Audi, I for one (and many others) love the look of the Tesla. I think less is more in a lot of ways.
I still wonder why those that bought other cars come here to moan and groan about Tesla? Does it make you feel better about your purchase or are you trying to convince Tesla owners they made a bad choice?
IF Tesla made the interior just like YOU want it, I bet there would be a large number of people that want it some other way.
I stopped reading after you compared the Model S to a golf cart. Sorry, I can't believe you actually ever did a test drive.
We sold our A7 to get the P85. Overall, it was a good trade...BUT, anyone who says that the Model S interior is even close to as comfortable or luxurious as the A7 hasn't been in the A7. A perfect car would be my P85 with the A7 interior.
That said, the A7 is a spectacular car in all respects but we wouldn't go back to an ICE car, even one as nice an A7.
@GAGSTESLA: Maybe they are just providing feedback. Our company serves about 5,000 customers each year. I used to get all bent out of shape when I received a complaint but I realized customers who do that are generally doing you a favor by bringing certain deficiencies to your attention so you can provide a better product or service.
Now of course people make unreasonable requests sometimes but sometimes their concerns do have merit and I think some of the OP's concerns have merit. The OP took the time to voice his concerns because he cares and that is a good thing.
Customer feedback is what leads to better products. Arrogance, not listening to customer feedback, or building the best product possible is what has resulted in GM being what it is.
I send my feedback directly to Tesla.
Funny, I didn't buy the A7 for the interior. Test drove the diesel as I have been very happy with our previous Audis and think the A7 looks great. Unfortunately, to me, the A7 was just too similar to our current Audi on the inside to justify spending ~$50k (used A7 minus current Audi). It was nice, but to me just more of the same old car. So I decided to just keep our 06 Audi.
Then I made the 'mistake' of driving the MS. The clean, open modern interior with a useful interface (Unlike MMI) really impressed me and made me feel like I was in a 'new' car. The silent drive around the parking lot vs the slight diesel chatter, and then the immediate throttle response blew me away. I immediately knew I would be ordering a new model S that night when I got home. It was very easy to justify the price compared to my current car.
Plus the constant thumbs up and waves as you drive it around are priceless. Friends beg for test drives and it is always a topic of conversation. This is the first car I have ever bought without even the slightest hint of buyers remorse. So, sorry to say, the A7 is a very nice car, but it is just another car, nothing special. The MS is hopefully a first step into the future...
@Captain_Zap: I thought Tesla monitors the forums here but I agree the OP should forward his comments directly to Tesla.
Not always. They rarely looked at it at all in the past. Sometimes we will point Tesla to threads.
The thread is for enthusiasts and owners to use.
"And how about a simple, familiar shift lever near my right hand to make me feel like I'm driving a car instead of a golf cart?"
It's the same stalk in the Mercedes S550 golf cart!
Correcting your 'oversights' sounds more like a redesign of the interior. You will probably have better luck on an Audi forum, recommending that company develop an EV drivetrain comparable to the MS. Or wait for the reincarnation of the Sportster - we'll be with you in just a little while.
The only problem I have with the interior is the lack of cup holders--and if you want to use the armrest it eliminates your only cup holder (as the driver).
Your salvation awaits:
Tesla +1. OP wants a gear shift lever in a car with no transmission, mounted where (in older R&D cars) it had a mechanical linkage to the transmission.
That's pretty funny. Well I hope he enjoys his Audi.
I meant tezzla. Spell check. Sigh.
Where would I put my bag and notebook?
Love the complain about the position of the touch screen. Does any other company have anything similar to that touch screen?
You bought a 2-year old used gas-powered Audi and you're comparing it to the Model S?
I test drove the A8L. That was a really nice car. The maps were super slow to render. It had Google Maps on that funky screen that could be raised and lowered but they took so long to update it was like the were unusable.
The color combination and options I wanted would have to be ordered and that was a three month wait. On top of that there were something like only 5 cars in all of Orange County to choose from and every single one had 200 miles on it from test drives. No thanks.
I didn't care for the huge center console. I'm a big guy and it made me feel cramped. The back seat was for two people. Period. The transaxle case or whatever the "hump" is was almost as big as the front seat center console.
The real kicker was the cost - this thing was $110K equipped the way I liked it and the residuals were horrible making the payment over $1500 a month for a 36 month lease. It turned me to the BMW where they were subsidizing 750Li leases with residuals at 68% for a three year lease and payments of $900 a month.
Then I test drove the Model S and it was done. I did wait almost three months to get it and that was the best part. Your golf cart analogy is especially funny to me because my wife and I constantly turn creep off to specifically emulate a golf cart. We end up turning it back on because of stop and go traffic and inching up to cars. The point being that we WANT the car to act like a golf cart. A big, beautiful, fast monster of a golf cart.
I'm sorry you got the A7. I'm sorry the interior is that important to you. The sad fact is that you forgot about all that crap as soon as you drive it for a week. You don't miss cup holders, storage containers, vanity lights and all that other crap. You just drive this beautiful sleek quiet shark and then come home and plug it in only to be privileged enough to get to do it again the next day.
The Audi 7 is like driving an Accord. Meh. You drive it. You put gas in it. You store some maps and gum in a center console and you put three different liquids in three different cupholders simultaneously. You need all that liquid because you have to sit in the Costco gas line for 25 minutes every week waiting to save $0.20 per gallon. That way it only costs you $78 to fill up rather than $85.
Best of luck to you. Audi is, afterall, the new BMW.
I use to drive a Jaguar XJ way more luxurious than Audi A7, I got the MS and in the beginning felt that the Tesla interior was to flat. Now I am totally in love with the practicality of the interior of Model S I love it, in fact I order the console and now I'm not sure I want it.
Nothing much original to say, but I echo what others have said about a matter of taste. Part of the appeal, to me, of my MS, is the sleek and unfussy interior. As if to confirm that what this car is all about is the driving experience. As in, Driving.
That's the reason by buy a Tesla, and what's entirely unique about it. If the interior is dispositive for some, so be it. But I've never had a car that's literally therapeutic, like the MS is. I've never before felt like taking a drive just to feel better; and yet that's what I've done, more than once, in my Tesla. Just driving it is both calming and exhilarating. There's no car that drives like it, or comes close. The interior has everything I need, and it just calmly adds to the other pleasures by not subtracting or distracting from them.
That's my take. It's all about the experience of driving a car that handles uniquely, has unique power all along the spectrum, instant responsiveness, and that amazing quiet while it performs its special magic. Somehow I think it'd be different were the interior more overtly cushy and ostentatious. I think, were Tesla to produce a choice of cars that handled and looked the same outwardly, with one more Lexus/Audi-like on the inside, I'd stick with the style I have. But maybe not.

two balloons
These hot air balloons hang in the corner of Mollie's room. As you may remember, I bought the red balloon to let Will know that we were expecting her. We decided to add one for every child we eventually have, so that they'll each be able to point to "theirs" within the happy family group.
Of course, that means we needed to get another one. I wanted Joseph's to be the most colorful of all, though it's the smallest. I've thought so much about how we'll talk about him with his siblings, and his place as an integral part of the family that God has given us. I've worried that we would somehow get it wrong. I'm overwhelmed thinking about celebrating birthdays and visiting cemeteries. My mind just can't map out how we'll handle it in the years to come.
But I'm starting to think that the right course will reveal itself along the way. We'll have little pushes and inclinations that show us what to do and say. Hanging a balloon seems like a trivial place to start, but it was a need that couldn't be ignored, and I'm grateful for pushes that make the next step seem so clear. For now, I point to the balloons and tell Mollie "that one's yours, and that one's Joseph's." It's simple now that it's a one-sided conversation, but I have to trust that by the time she can ask questions, I'll have the right answers.
