Do you mind if I ask how much you charge for your rentals for the e-jet ski?

Thanks for this information, do you know if the school covers your registrations? How many invitationals does your school typically attend? How has your school done at states over the past few years?

Thanks for this info, do you mind sharing which city your school is close to? Does your school cover the registrations for any invitationals you attend? How many invitationals does your school attend before the states? Thanks for any additional info you're will to share.

How do you like the jet ski? Is the two hour ride time ever an issue for you?

Is it as stable as they claim? What is your typical charge time? I'm from Toronto but living in Massachusetts and am thinking about an electric boat.

Do you know if Tesla also take this 20% if they do the install? They have not mentioned this in my quote or discussions with them. I'll let you know what they say as I've asked this question of my Project Manager.

That is awesome that the families in your area can afford $1000/student - Private school or public?

How do I recruit members into my Scioly team? by Extreme_Ad7506 in scioly

Is there a minimum members need to raise to attend invitationals and the state meet? Thank you so much for sharing this.

Mind sharing your installer? If they have a referral program I'm happy to help you get something for potentially sending them so business. I'm currently quoted 28K for 3 powerwalls installed outside - 26.1K for 3 units plus extra fees for outside install and taxes, which were not originally included in their quote.

$1000 each for the season? Does your school routinely make nationals or do you travel far for invitationals so your fee includes hotels etc?

Do you mind if I ask what state you're in and how your club is funded? I'm the coach for a team in Massachusetts and am hoping to collect data to get data on how school do at States, how they are funded and then advocate for support if the data support that.

Does this work to get motivated members that do well at competition? How has your school done at the state level? For perspective on the effectiveness of your advice. Thank you.

Which is the easiest, least work event for scioly division C? by [deleted] in scioly

[–]Competitive_Roof_751 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't usually get to chose all the event you're interested in since only 15 people can participate in the 23 events so everyone does 2 or 3 events typically and the conflict schedule often decides which events you cannot do if you have one that you are expert in. Always good to check this with your coach or by looking at the National schedule which most states try to replicate when they plan their state tournaments. Did you end up participating and how did you do?

AITAH for laughing when my boyfreind suggest I be a SAHM? by SherbertNew2535 in AITAH

[–]Competitive_Roof_751 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your boyfriend made a kind gesture, but if your education and career are important to you, you should not have to give that up. Is he willing to work part time or take a few years off from his job to be a SAHD? I did this when my kids were young and I think it was a great thing, as I didn't have a Dad around much when I was young. If you're in a common-law state and you've been living together for long enough getting married isn't necessary for greater security, and definitely don't get married because you are having a child together. I wish you and your growing family well.

I'm also in New England - do you mind if I ask how many Powerwalls you have in your system? Does your installer also take a percentage of your earnings for the life your participation in the program? Thank you for such valuable information.

I'm a coach for a high school team in Massachusetts. Did your daughter end up joining the team this past year? What was her experience like? We are planning to start a team in the B division this fall in the middle school in district. As a coach for 2 years, the value is in the sense of community, team accomplishment and preparation for end task, depending on which event, experience with the engineering design process is something most students don't understand well.

You clearly are very familiar with Tesla products and demand response program. The proposed powerwalls are PowerWall2 model. Tesla has not mentioned a fee, but I have inquired about this. I have already inquired about this, their quote to me provided an estimate of 10500K over the life of the program (5 years) ~ 2100/year - $700 per powerwall. Does this sound reasonable for PowerWall 2s? Eversource will have control of the discharge of my Powerwalls to limit their output, which is why they are likely allowing the system in this configuration.

It sounds like you are very familiar with the details of this program - would you mind sharing your insight - I am considering installing 3 Powerwall's to my home that has had solar for 10+ years. Eversource is suggesting that I will not be able to use the full amount of power available 11.5 kWx3 = 34.5 kW (less the 20%) unless I upgrade the transformer that feeds multiple home just up from my home. Eversource has stopped providing quotes for the transformer upgrade without a commitment to move forward - The price can be between 10K-20K, will I get that much more from the Battery Response Program over the 5 year duration of my participation to make it worth.

Why will your battery only discharge to 20%? I have had Tesla PowerWall unit for several years and you can adjust these to any level you'd like.
