    Is there an Index Fund for EV & related?

    Before I started directing as much as possible of my investment dollars into TSLA, I had been a believer (and still am) of what I call the ‘John C. Bogle school of investing”. Bogle was the person who founded The Vanguard Group, and more to the point, the practice of Index Funds in general and...

    TOPIC: Xcel EVSE Pilot Program (They're NOT Chargers!) I've come across some interesting information re public EVSE stations ("Charging Stations") in the Xcel energy service area. {Note for non-Minnesotans: Before a merger, Xcel was better known as NSP, 'Northern States Power'. It may...

    Update from Elon: Cybertruck production starting late 2022 and volume production in 2023

    I can't be more specific. I'm trusting the opinions of others (esp. Sandy Munro). It seems like for every good comment I hear (like yours), I hear another one slamming the Fremont paint quality. I'm hoping that Fremont does eventually get the same new paint shop that Berlin & Austin (maybe...

    Update from Elon: Cybertruck production starting late 2022 and volume production in 2023

    I'm semi-agnostic regarding batteries. The proven older 28xx are likely good enough for me. What I care more about, re Fremont versus Austin, is: * Paint quality and * Dual front & back mega-castings. * Overall fit and finish (re a new production line). 17.088 .

    Update from Elon: Cybertruck production starting late 2022 and volume production in 2023

    My signature line says the most relevant tid-bits. I own a stereotypical red utility trailer with a bed that is 6' wide by 8' long. Our ~2014ish Chevy Volt _CAN_NOT_ haul any sort of trailer. I refuse to add a hitch/receiver to our 2004ish RAV4. That means... Right now, the only thing I...

    Name your Cybertruck

    UPDATE: I have since traded in the Leaf on a high miles 2016 Chevy Volt, and moved a different personalized plate to that vehicle. The collector version of the CYBRTRK plates now resides on a very low miles orange 1973 Chevy Suburban "Garage Queen" with a 454 V8 engine. It's for sale at the...

    Custom vanity license plate for your Cybertruck?

    Yes; this is mostly a "DITTO" to Jeff Rock's posting #211. See my own post #193, on page 13 (Sept. 16, 2020). I have Minnesota's "CYBRTRK" on my (for sale) "Garage Queen": 1973 Chevy C10 Suburban (~78k miles).

    Cyberwar (Cybertruck vs Model Y)

    I was going to get a Mitzubishi Outlander PHEV, then I heard of another delay in bringing that vehicle to the US, and got on the Model 3 reservation list that night: Oct. 6th, 2016. Then once the 3 was out, they announced the Y and I got on the Y list. Then they announced the CyberTruck and...

    Huh. OK. Learn something new every day. But my priorities remain the same: - CyberTruck for ME first. - Then the "Y" for my wife, and the Volt for my daughter. 17.088

    I don't understand your point. The only "New Model" I care about is the CyberTruck, and paint is not an issue on that topic.

    Here's another CT reservation holder from Minnesota. (South Minneapolis, almost within hearing range of where the G.F. riots took place.) On October 6th, 2006 I heard or read the news that Mitzubishi was going to have yet ONE MORE DELAY in bringing their "Outlander" plug-in-hybrid crossover...

    When parked: Is "Heeling Over" strictly software, or is hardware needed? Also: Compare vrs. Lowered?

    Just this week, our 6 month old finally jumped up and inside the footwell of our RAV4 on his own. From there, he was able to climb up onto the seat. So, for the moment, things can be "O.K.", he just WANTS to be lifted or nudged up from one of us. Does anyone know if the lower portion of the...

    When parked: Is "Heeling Over" strictly software, or is hardware needed? Also: Compare vrs. Lowered?

    Those of us who have ever paid any attention to the "Sailing Ships" genre of books (or have actually sailed) should be aware of the term: 'Heeled'. It's when a sailing ship leans over all the way to port (left) or starboard (right). Q1: I'd like to hear people's opinions as to if "Heeling...

    What single phase kVA will CT's on-board Charger handle?

    Thanks for the reply. I THINK you understood my question, but just-in-case I want to clarify a few things... In the LONG run, what I'm really interested in finding out ahead of time if the Tesla Cybertruck (or the "Y" for that matter) will ever have an on-board-charger rated for 64 Amps (80...

    What single phase kVA will CT's on-board Charger handle?

    OPee here... Has anyone heard any new news on this topic OR when Elon's so-called update is due to happen? 17.988
