The price comments are all talking about the Tata Tiago. The link you sent is about the price of the Tata Nexon, which isn't relevant.

Looks like you can take this new study, and use it to expand that section (and remove the unsourced generalization about research being low quality) (edit: did so myself)

What about the storage devices (the S in NAS)? My external HDD (just for reference) has an AC adaptor that outputs 12V at 1.5A, so that's another 18W. And most people who care enough about storage to have a NAS have multiple disks... I

Their estimate of £10/month seems reasonable to me – that's basically 1 or 2 kWh of electricity per day (can't find current UK electricity rates). Is your NAS under 40W power draw? > costs maybe pennies to run. Pennies per

Note that a 6000lb minimum rules out the f150, the best selling vehicle in North America. Tax considerations can't be too top of mind.

I work construction. at least half of the people on the same jobs as me drive their personal trucks 80km to work, park them until the end of the day, and drive home. Not a single tool in them. The other half drive sedans.
