Clash Of The Titans: Could Tesla Motors Be The Future For EnagicUSA?!

My good friend, DaMeaun Carrasquillo and myself recently discovered something that sales guru, Grant Cardone had been trying to tell us all along, that all of us a part of what is referred to as a "chain of command."

It's a proven fact, and ironically enough it was at our favorite pizza/entertainment chain where we learned this concept, none other than Chuck E. Cheese's. What Chuck E. Cheese and CEC Entertainment ultimately taught us is that big business--or any kind of business--is something that's accomplished through a simple chain of command and/or action.

Kangen water systems also became part of the CEC chain of command by delivering free gallons of ionized water to the chain's Northridge, California location. Historically one of the original CECs to be opened in 1982, Northridge was at one time home to one of the San Fernando Valley's most beloved "Pizza Time Theaters," back when PTT was a reality for the Chuck E. Cheese chain.

In 2013, however, we've realized that we have to abandon the past in pursuit of the future. With this philosophy in mind, Enagic had to find a way to expand upon their wellness business by expanding-upon, or "sneaking their way" into others. Upon careful investigation and firsthand experience, we found that Tesla Motors was that company.

Grant Cardone, who quickly became one of my cultural icons, taught that using what he calls the "10X Factor" is indeed the best plan of action for the business realm. In that spirit, I wrote this blog within a 20-25 minute window, but it was also in that spirit that I came to an epiphany: EnagicUSA has no option at this point but to become an Elon Musk company.

For no other reason should this be, except that Tesla is a "wellness" business first and a car builder second. Education is the key when it comes to Tesla, and the idea of hydroelectric bettering is one that Tesla and Enagic have in common.

The strategy pyramid, for me anyway, is that Tesla is at the top, Belgian fry outlet, Frytes comes second, as they are a restaurant concerned with better living through better food, and CEC Entertainment comes third, as Chuck E. Cheese's has proven to be a corporate pod concerned primarily with profit since at least 2012.

The vision then, is to make Tesla a place that practices better health through better method. How else, but by getting kangen water machines into the Tesla showrooms, the closest in this case being at the Westfield mall in Canoga Park. Tesla's Topanga store is one of the cleanest you could ever visit, and that's why it only makes sense that they make ionized water a major part of their regimen, their "plan of action" from here on.

Japan's Dr. Shinya, and science as a whole has proven that massive health benefits inevitably follow kangen water consumption. Tesla Motors, through their use of a 3-phase electric running gear in the Model S, has likewise shown that using natural methods really just is that much better.

America's current economy is fucked-up. According to Grant Cardone, this is ultimately because the Middle Class is reliant upon the idea of "just enough." When it comes to a possible merger between Enagic and Tesla, however, "just enough" just doesn't seem to be fuckin' enough!

Tesla Motors' Answer To The Endurance Circuit: The GT-85 Flagship

The mission:

Let's face it: everyone steals from every one else at one point or another. It's shady, but then haven't friends and loved ones done the same to us at at least some point in our lives and careers?

Take the man Carroll Shelby; he never really "stole" from anyone, per se; it's just that he was the bad-ass, American racer who got fucked-over by GM, and so he decided to become part of the Ford family instead. On a more personal scale, even our lovers and friends who have been involved with the auto industry have blind-sided us to a degree; why shouldn't General Motors do the same thing in the 1980s with the Buick Grand National, then again in the '90s with the Saturn EV1?! It makes dollars and it makes sense, which in turn makes more dollars.

So what to do now in a world where Tesla is becoming the EV market's standard, and public charging stations are nearly everywhere? That solution is a simple one: take a pre-existing flagship and retrofit it. Bruce McLaren sure did build a bad car in the '60s with the M8; with the "Tesla touch" being added to that very platform, that mother fucker sure would be a thing of fear at LeMans or "the Ring!"

In that "bad boy" spirit of car-building, this proposal introduces a new flagship vehicle to the Tesla lineup; that vehicle is the proposed Tesla "GT-85."

 Specs and performance:

0-60: 3.5 seconds (est.)

Top speed: 285 mph (est.)

1/4 mile: 11.3 @ 135 mph (est.)

Platform: McLaren M8 kit car

Drivetrain: Tesla Model S P85 DC-linear with an onboard lithium battery

Range: 235-300 miles at full charge

Estimated price: $150,000 (est.)

Projected availability: Between 2015-16

Kangen Water And The Model S: Building A Grid Geared Toward Wellness

Today at the gym, I had been speaking with a woman named Pat, who, like myself, is a workout regular. Truth be known, I enjoy talking with people like Pat; the majority of people are non-receptive when it comes to adapting new ideas and philosophies. But not Pat; she's among the few and the proud.

A conversation that usually comes-up between us during our workout sessions is Tesla Motors, and that conversation naturally leads to one of overall wellness and economics. Truth be known, the dialogue regarding Tesla and Elon Musk is not one that revolves as much around cars and trains as it does common sense and practicality.

In this instance, if we were to conjure a diagram or pyramid, the schematic is one that would outline three things all together: Solar power, electric transportation and now, a third element, kangen water.

You see, it's not a thing of selling people on cars, solar panels or drinking water. All of these things work together to form one, solid system, and it's a system that seeks to rebel against everything we've ever known since the very beginnings of the Industrial Era. Here's how it boils-down: you drink better water and follow the rules of proper nutrition, and by doing this you better yourself as an individual.

We'll take this model of thought even a step further: by drinking good water and following a suitable diet, you are better and therefore feel better. By feeling better, you think better, and this is the selling point, because by using your mindpower to its fullest, you're able to engage in other activities that lead to smart moves.

"Smart moves" are the ones that lead you to spend money on smart purchases, like Tesla vehicles. By thinking clearly and therefore buying a smarter vehicle, you have not only refreshed your very thought process, but you've essentially overhauled it in a way that has driven you to buy an "appliance" that can help to make your overall existence that much easier. In regards to solar power, that's just another appliance that can help to contribute to your overall well-being.

But this is also where the discussion of water comes in, because the water that you drink will inevitably have an impact on the quality of your overall existence and function. This is because more than 80% of our bodies consist of water, but as has happened within the automotive industry, there has been a myth or series of myths that have been embraced and pushed-forward.

Think about it: why have we been using fossil fuels in any contemporary mode of transportation? Oh, I know what most people would say: "it's a tradition," it's just the way things are. Back in Nazi Germany, people held the same overall attitude about Hitler's reign over that nation: "This guy knows what he's doing, and this is just the way it has to be." That model of thought seemed to work until it was too late, and by that point, the consequences were catastrophic.

America's not too far from Germany, believe me; if we're willing to accept one, then why wouldn't we accept the other?! Oh yes, the reign of terror and the system of propaganda that was Nazi Germany extends itself to the United States today. Why do we use gas and oil in our cars? Because it puts money in someone else's pocket. And why do we drink bottled water? For the same reason!

In Osaka and elsewhere in Japan, however, there is an alternative method to everyday living that seems to make the most sense. "Kangen" is a Japanese phrase that means, "return to origin." That's what their drinking water does; it returns us to our origins. When a fetus is inside its mother's womb, it develops within an alkaline-based environment. This is why babies are born with such soft skin, and scientifically-speaking, cancer can not exist within an alkaline setting.

But guess what kind of water the Japanese drink on a normal, if not everyday basis? That which is alkalized, and that's exactly what kangen water is. With kangen water, electromagnetic currents are used to purify and alkalize drinking water, and one of the ways that the process achieves these results is by making water molecularly-smaller than most. This means that it gets into one's vascular system, and it's in that fact where the water's healing properties lie.

Cancer and other disorders have been said to have been cured through kangen consumption over extended periods of time. Is this to say that the water itself is a cure-all? Certainly not, but then there are some health-related challenges that its consumption can help to alleviate.

My personal testimony of kangen water is that it's helped me to be energetic, strong and focused. It's boosted my overall creativity and ability to read and write. Again, this doesn't mean that it's been a cure-all, but it certainly has helped with what I consider to be among my most common obstacles.

What does this have to do with Tesla, or even the notion of making solar power a part of our grid? Just remember that pyramid we drew-up earlier and it makes sense all over again. Water is a part of wellness, but so are electric vehicles; as we start to use these things in conjunction with each other, we start to see the bigger picture.

Again, think about it: What is the portrait of a "perfect" home or facility? It's one that uses kangen for its primary water, solar as its primary source of power and has an EV parked out front or in the garage. That's not to say that mainstream society looks like it will be going in that direction anytime soon, but hey, you can't get mad at the bureaucrats for the things that they simply can not help or control. And I mean, who can blame them?! After all, it seems so much easier to go to church, stick to traditions and hope for the very best; that's the "American way!"

But take the bureaucracy out of the picture, hell, take Congress out of the picture and what can you see? For myself, I have a vision that includes electromagnetic mass transit, DC-powered cars and trucks, nutritional foods that better our health and restore us from the inside and, of course, kangen water that can boost our oxygen intake, while bettering the health of our skin and immune system.

Is it really that simple?! You have to ask yourself, is there anything simple about building an internal-combustion engine with raw fuels and moving parts? Is there anything simple about the fact that McDonald's laces your morning coffee with aspartame? Which one seems like the "simpler solution?!"

The answer is one that's inside of each and every one of us; it's just a matter of searching...

Amusement Parks Are SOOO Cool: Tesla's "Electric Avenue" Theme Park And Resort

Abstract:

When Walt Disney created Disneyland during the 1950s, there were several styling cues and techniques used to create what would essentially serve as a model. That "model" was to be one of what Disney envisioned as the "perfect city."

Among these "perfect city" cues were the now-famous monorail, which Disney had allegedly proposed to be a public transit possibility for the future. Goodyear Tires' "People Mover" attraction, once up-and-alive in the former "Tomorrowland," also presented a model of what could soon be in the realm of mass transit. Amusement parks are more than places of fun and entertainment; they inspire us, either through steel rollercoasters or audio animatronics.

In that spirit, we present to Elon Musk and Tesla Motors a new and refreshing approach to the whole "theme park" motif. And it's one that uses what I, myself often like to refer to as the "Tesla Touch."

General idea:

Most roller coasters and water rides use traditional wood, steel and tire-based pulley systems to drive what is essentially an archaic system of motor torque and chain drive. The difference with Tesla's "Electric Avenue" theme park and resort is that all attractions, from roller coasters to restaurants, use the same DC and solar technology that has already put Elon Musk, Solar City and Tesla Motors on the map.

Solar Power Brings A New Approach To Dining And Lodging:

Solar power and linear motor technology is not exclusively for Viper and Free Fall; at Electric Avenue, we offer the best in wining and dining, while cooking your food and preparing your drinks in the best kangen water the wellness industry has to offer.

It's the same filtration system that we use to produce alkaline water throughout Electric Avenue's park-wide plumbing network, which means that when you use the restroom at Electric Avenue, the water that comes out of the sinks, as well as toilet and urinal water, is alkaline water that has been processed through a system of electrolysis. That system guarantees that all of the park and resort's water is purified and stays that way.

Solar-Powered Rides And Attractions:

Why use conventional pulleys and chain drives, when flat, DC motors and solar panels do the exact same thing...but better?! The vision behind the Electric Avenue resort is that we build roller coasters with loops, corkscrews and all the other "good stuff," save for the steel that normally beats you up at a Six Flags venue.

Here's how we do it: imagine the most radical steel coaster at Magic Mountain, but constructed using carbon fiber, which is an advanced plastic proven by the automotive industry to be lighter and stronger than steel. In the past, Ferrari and Lamborghini dealers have claimed carbon fiber to be "sketchy" in the sense that it could do anything after long-term exposure to the sun and atmosphere. Part of the vision is to then anodize or blanket roller coaster and water ride tracks with a naturally-based solution that would offer weather protection to the carbon-based tracks.

But why solar and why flat, DC motors? Because Elon Musk has made it clear that flat motors are the ones that will power the capsules inside the Hyperloop, and seriously, have you ever been on Superman?!

DC motors replace traditional drive systems; they're faster and far more efficient. Here, we use electromagnetic poles or markers to drive attraction vehicles, which would also be carbon-based for minimal weight and maximum construction. It's the same technology, save for the flat motor format, that we use in the Model S and other Tesla vehicles. Solar panels are, of course, used to regenerate those motors, driven by the same lithium batteries used by Tesla.

In this spirit, there really is only one question left: Will Tesla's "Electric Avenue" be able to stamp-out the "happiest place on earth" or America's "thrill ride capital?!" Using DC and solar to power not only rides, but animatronics and other attractions, we shall all find out...

 

My First-Hand Experience With The P85 Model S

I grew up like a lot of guys from my generation, being perfectly fine and "relevant" as long as I followed the rules of Shadetree Mechanic protocal.

Kinda sounds like a smart-ass thing to say, but the truth of the matter was that a lot of our dads and grandfathers thought, when we were growing-up, that a bicycle handle made for a decent shift linkage, or that it was cool to retrofit a beer keg into a gas tank for a sand rail.

That's what was in-vogue during our childhoods and throughout much of our teen years. A lot of us lived in a world where a Vega stuffed with a small-block was a "fast" car, and burnt fuel was a sign of muscle car "greatness."

But then things changed; we changed. I got my first taste of what GM could do with turbos on mouse motors when my neighbor in Northridge, a decent LA suburb, took me for a ride in his '91 GMC Syclone. That was in 2002 and I was 18 at the time. It was a thing of amazement to watch a small V-6 crank out that much power, but it also caused a bit of a cultural division.

Facts were facts: when it came to beer-and-pretzel time in my dad's garage, there were a lot of things that me and the old man could agree on, but then there were a lot of things that we couldn't.

I love Buick Grand Nationals; my dad simply sees them as Regals. I know for a fact that the Syclone was the fastest production pickup ever made by GM; my dad once told me that he would try to find me a "used Syclone" in the Antelope Valley if he could.

What a wild thing to say, and such insult to the General's turbo-6 legacy. A used Syclone?! Really?! It was like saying, "You know, your ex-girlfriend, Jenny McCarthy?!"

The cultural gap that grew between me and my family on so many levels was disturbing at best, and caused for much drunken shouting at worst. My parents loved me as I grew in the '90s, but that was mostly because the '90s was a decade in which I pretended that I was in the same time zone as them.

That's why we listened to Van Halen and drank Coronas at every lake trip we took, and it was also why backyard etiquette and suburban chivalry took throne over such principles as book knowledge and public television.

Public TV was for "nerds," and so was Barney the dinosaur. Likewise, no one would dare talking about building a Pinto with DC motors, let alone a Chevelle. Meat and potatoes, that's all it was, and if you were going to "run what 'ya brung" at LACR, then you better damn well have had something with gas and pistons. Because we used to get so excited by fossil fuels and moving parts when we were kids, watching Grandpa Munster as he drag raced a pro-streeted coffin down the tarmac.

But "Dragula" never had DC motors, neither did the Munsters' hot rod hearse. They used what we called back then, "V-8s," and legend had it that those giants of motors ran on alcohol and with blowers.

Back then, we also had sticks that we would put in our motors to make them sound neat; in those days, we referred to them as "camshafts," and they were said to improve motor muscle by opening the valves wider and faster. Once I had said that I could hear the "sound of horsepower," but then one of the elders had informed me that it was actually the sound of valve overlap, and that the "cool sound" that it made actually suffocated the engine's performance. How cool was that?!

But then there was a problem, or an inconsistency at least: along came the Internet and with it, YouTube. It was YouTube that revealed the world of DC performance to my eyes in full, and then I just got really mad!

Truthfully, the whole thing was downright silly; why should I be mad at my network of friends and family for not knowing that a DC electric was faster than an LS on 91-octane? That's ridiculous, it's not like our parents worked for the big oil industry. My dad never worked for General Motors. I, myself have never worked for GM, Ford or Chrysler; what did I have to be bitter about?!

Next thing I knew, it was 2013 and I was almost in my '30s. My mom fled to Reno, leaving my sister to raise my baby nephew, Gionni, who would be the first baby gearhead that I'd ever seen. Actually, Gionni was probably the only baby anybody had ever seen who liked to play with drums, smart devices and toy cars. What a combo!

But then along came a spider, and his name was Elon Musk, inventor of personal space travel and PayPal web shopping. One time he came up with an idea: let's build a really sweet car that runs on nothing except DC motors and lithium batteries.

That's where I come in. Topanga mall had opened a Tesla showroom near the Nordstrom's, and it became my very own, "Toys 'R Us."

The afternoon before this was published, I got to take a ride in a Tesla Model S P85. Fast? Nah, this thing was the Starspeeder 3000 made manifest. It wasn't about speed with the P85, but more like intergalactic transit.

In essence, the P85 version of the Model S is a personal-use version of the Hyperloop capsule, but with tires, wheels and axles. At the time of my test drive with Mitch Melassanos, I feared for the many Vettes, Ferraris and Lambos of the land, or Woodland Hills. Melassanos, who is an operations manager for The Los Angeles Fashion, had invited me and made it clear that he was ready to buy.

Hell, weren't we both at that point?! I loved Tesla, but after a quick Calabasas run in a P85, I fell deeply in love with Tesla Motors, and the fat new toy that they offered to the world.

Truthfully, the Model S is not like a car at all, but if you know anything about the Hyperloop's theory of air suspension, then yeah, just try to apply that to the car and that's basically what the thing does. The P85 does more than snap sideways when you stab its throttle; come to think of it, it "thrusts" forward far more than it "snaps." Once it does, it honestly feels like it wants to peel itself off of the ground and whisk through a low-pressure tube from LA to San Francisco.

Mitch Melassanos explains to Tesla Motors and myself that he has many friends who do aviation, and to them, the acceleration of Tesla's P85 is like an airplane, about as close as anyone can come in a passenger car.

But here's how you can differentiate between a luxury sedan and one built for performance: in a luxury sedan, you don't sweat cold beads and you don't get an earful of "guy grunt." But from the back seat of a Tesla P85, you sure do! In fact, all you need is some beef jerky and you're set!

That's because the P85 is the muscle car that you would've seen at the Star Tours' space port, while you waited in line with C3PO and R2, as R2 made a few adjustments to the Starspeeder before departure to Endor.

And as Melassanos stabs the P85's throttle, I can hear "Captain Rex" from the Starspeeder's cockpit shout for R2D2 to hit light speed, and this performance tweak is one that the Starspeeder and P85 apparently share in common.

Thanks again to Tesla Motors of Topanga, along with Mitch Melassanos. Without them, I would've never known what it was like to drive in a real Starspeeder 3000!

The "P85-R," Tesla Motors' Very First Muscle Sedan

Where Grand National became the supreme trim upgrade for Buick's Regal, so the Model S-based, P85-R seeks to become the "Grand National" of Tesla.

Package Details:

Black-anodized side vents in place of the Model S' standard side markers

Rounded hood scoop

Exclusive "P85-R" badging

Performance:

Horsepower: 416bhp

Transmission: Direct-output

Elon Ultra: Opening The Doors For The Hyperloop And The Entire Grid

The proposed "Elon Ultra" monorail car is a vehicle that is not only choice for the Hyperloop, but indeed for the Tesla DC lineup, as it would be projected to become that transit platform for Tesla that would open the doors for other mass transit projects.

Elon Ultra would prove to be an ideal design for the Hyperloop because of its sloped front end, accommodating the turbine design that would provide the air barrier and suspension needed to maintain travel throughout the Hyperloop's enclosed system.

Not only this, but a turbine-stuffed monorail, as opposed to a capsule, would carry some 30-35 passengers, further expanding on Elon Musk's 840 passenger per hour quota.

On top of expanding upon this proposed quota, the Elon Ultra would expand on Walt Disney's proposed monorail system, one that was introduced at Disneyland as the "future transit rail" of Los Angeles during a time when cars were king, and satellites were just starting to beam into space.

Also, the vision behind Elon Ultra, because of its ability to accommodate a turbine while maintaining sleek aerodynamics, is that it would be a serious consideration for the city of Los Angeles as a substantial replacement for the San Fernando Valley's current "Orange Line," which, as is, stands as a rather primitive bus "liner" service.

At the very best, Elon Ultra would maximize the Hyperloop's performance and capacity, while opening for Tesla a market that allows for light rail and other localized forms of travel.
