- LudwigNagasena 4y agoWell, of course "actually, it costs $2 per month in fuel" may be technically correct, but I am sure most people would find such concerns quite petty and beside the point.
- laputan_machine 4y ago> Panel gaps don’t even matter from a pragmatic standpoint. This is your statement. They "don't even matter". It's not pragmatic to care about panel gaps. It doesn't matter. That is what you are stating, that isn't me misquoting or being malicious, they're your words! If you meant to instead say "There are diminishing returns to reduce panel gap size, and Tesla have got it right!", then I agree with the first statement, disagree with the second, but best of all it clarifies your point. Cheers!
- LudwigNagasena 4y agoWhat’s the point of that nitpick? You could also say that a 10cm panel gap would be very noticeable and inconvenient, but I think it’s very clear from the context that this is not a very relevant observation to the discussion at hand. “They don’t matter” as in “the returns on decreasing the panel gap from the 1st percentile of panel gaps on the market to the 99th percentile are so small, spending energy on thinking about it is probably more expensive. It is a cosmetic issue.”
