Broadly speaking, endocrine disorders may be subdivided into three groups: 1  Endocrine gland hyposecretion (leading to hormone deficiency) 2  Endocrine gland hypersecretion (leading to hormone excess)  Tumours (benign or malignant) of endocrine glands.
(Alexander Nie / Flickr) Last week, Elon Musk announced that the Tesla Roadster would be receiving a retrofit upgrade that bumps its range to around 350 miles. Under ideal driving conditions, Musk claimed, the new Roadster can go as far as 400 miles without stopping to recharge. Naturally, a lot of Tesla watchers are probably wondering when the Model S (which is significantly more affordable but still out of reach of most consumers) will benefit from this technology.
There are cars out there legendary for their longevity, a Toyota Tacoma is often said to run for > 300k miles if well maintained. Given that the Tesla electric engines have a lot fewer parts, and require a lot less maintenance (is that true?), how many miles can we expect them to power the car for?
