In Reply to: Tesla does not follow industry standards, MI-Roger [Profile/Gallery] , Tue, 18 Jul 2017 05:26:42

Not sure where you are seeing a $1500 adapter cable, here is Tesla's own web page about the products. Of course there are also aftermarket sources springing up filling a market opportunity.

I fully agree with you about setting unique standards, even if they are better. I owned a Sony Betamax and it was noticeably superior to VHS in every way other than the 5 hour vs. 6 hour capacity of the cassettes when running at slow speed. News organizations continued using Beta Pro in their videocams up until the transition to digital. Since the sound quality was excellent (vs. the poor quality of VHS) I kept using it as a 5-hour audio recorder long after my local movie rental place stopped carrying Beta versions of new releases.
