One is supply constrained, the other is absorption constrained. Two different contexts.

Best lies aren't technically lies - they're omissions and misrepresentations. The question to be asked - would a reasonable person be mislead by that image into thinking that vehicle charges ultrafast, akin to fueling an ICE vehicle ?

The oldest playbook indeed. "I don't use a trailer, so nobody else uses a trailer and any complaints are just manufactured. And Tesla is outright stupid to invest into building out pull-through stations for EVs with trailers, because nobody in reality uses a trailer with an EV, and if they are...

That was it - enabled Amazon Music and disabled TuneIn... let's see what it does now after parking for a while.

"Few minutes" are actually "few hours" on trips over a certain mileage and/or with trailer loads, which is why ridiculing it is disingenuous.

The traditional approach is to use CC/CV at 1C, and the current tapers down naturally as the voltage increases. Nothing to do with "for longevity". And sure, probably not exactly 1 hour, but it's not super important. Then you have these innovative approaches of hammering the cells with currents...

There was always that pretzel talk about how fast their stuff charges, and that you can make quick top offs to charge at peak rates, and that charging to 100% is slower, etc, etc... Never once they said that in reality it would take you an hour or more if you need 100%. And no, my decision to...

Try hooking up a trailer, your bladder will own the battery.

I welcome you to try selling a "breakthrough" EV with a marketing statement "our vehicle fully charges in just over an hour" and see how that is taken by the customers. Obviously that wouldn't go well, which is why in this case they're bending into a pretzel with the statements like "it's only...

How is that obvious given you have few datapoints going above 80% ?

I am implying that the charging curve needs to average out to something above 1C.

This pretty much lines up... note how it goes below 1C just at about 50% SoC... and yes, that initial pump will be a bit higher on 350kW stations, but it drops off just as quickly as the 250kW one...

I was being sarcastic. It's silly to suggest a whole state of Montana has charging inconveniences because it's "rural living." Most US states have vast rural areas, some of which are also very cold in the Winter. So if one is going ANYWHERE else in the US, they're likely to pass through those...

That's a good theory, but note that Youtube Music is also greyed out... one of the two can't be in use while the other is.

Is there an official list of states Cybertruck owners aren't expected to be convenient in ?
