So maybe the 340 vs 325 mile range difference between the FS and NFS is real because of the chemistry change

They already had enough demand, that they didn't need / nor want to add more perks to early owners. It would've made an extremely high demand car even more so. My original RN was ~4000 in line and I was offered to put in an order on 12/15/2023 which I did. After doing the math, I figured I'd...

The bad actor perspective is a particularly interesting one and given that the EV movement/industry has been fighting big oil for decades (Cobasys / Ovonics anyone?), its the most logical one. I was referring to this unit which has the integrated J1772 adapter and not CCS. It's the only model...

It really depends on where you live, I gave an "average" supercharger pricing based on what I typically see. Most are in the 30-40c range and in california peak pricing as much as $0.50 or $0.55. But you could see as low as $0.23 in the wee hours near Mission Viejo & San Juan Capistrano since...

I suspect all the changes* and bad supercharger designs is why Elon fired the entire supercharger team, because they started catering too much to other companies than their own product. *Some of the questionable changes include Opening up their superchargers to other companies Putting J1772...

As I don't have working powershare yet, and probably won't until mid next year when they release the Powerwall update, my initial guess is NO it won't work with just any CyberTruck without some type of pairing process. I believe Powershare requires 2 way communication between the gateway and...

Something to keep in mind is that you lose the $2500 voucher which I was originally expecting, for the Free Supercharging. So the folds who did not get free supercharging for life would have to have driven at least 20,000+ miles via supercharging before it made up for the $2500 difference...

For the data rates used by the vehicle, 5G UWB is unnecessary, and 4G and 5G is on the same technology base (LTE i.e. Long Term Evolution). 4G will continued be supported like the old WiFi 802.11b and USB1/USB2 etc.

I was temp banned in r/cybertruck over the past month too because I participated in some of their banned subreddits (my comments were specifically to counter the on-going opinions in the negative subreddits actually), and they still banned me even as a new FS CT owner. Extremely draconian mods...

Has this been confirmed with a Tesla engineer? I'm aware of the EPA rule changes and suspect this is true, but would be nice confirmation.

A bit more nuanced to this but: Model S/X HW4 started appearing in March of 2023 Model Y HW4 started appearing in June of 2023, but builds as late as September 2023 has HW3. All Model 3s pre-Highland are HW3, and since Highland didn't show up until September 2023 I think, that is the launch of...

Having moved from a Spark EV (competitor to the Fiat 500e which I almost got), to a Tesla several years back, I know that feeling =D.

Thats definitely a garage to be admired. My CT doesn't even fit entirely in my driveway! It would "barely" fit in my garage if I move some storage around but I haven't decided to do that just yet.

I just re-watched the sections you highlighted here and I would suggest you would as well. From my takeaway the youtuber basically said "Manufacturer provides these curves based on the wheel sizes to submits it the EPA" for testing/data. There is no discussion in the video on how those curves...

50xxx is still a December build. I just got my FS cybertruck, and while i rejected my first VIN at 33xxx, my second one was 37xxx. Most FS production ended around September and I haven't seen any FS series VIN over 40000. I saw 4xxxx VINs as late as end of November, so if anything your VIN is at...

Just tried this with my 2019 Model 3 Keyfob and it didn't work either oh well.

He compared wheel width, while you just mentioned wheel diameter (which most people correlate with rim size) which of course impacts aero drag (205mm width compared to 305mm width). Most people think 18" vs 20" changes wheel diameter, but it doesn't, its only impacting rim size but the aspect...

This is absolutely incorrect. Wheel diameter impacts range much less than you think and is a common misconception. Range impact is more about tire rolling resistance and aerodynamic drag. You'll see most of the range loss due to the composition of the rubber/grip patterns which is why the AT...

Don't ask the delivery centers directly, Tesla is discouraging lease buy outs based on the head honchos because that would hurt their relationships with their bank partners. What matters is the fine print on the contract and and whether or not it is actually possible. You will have to pay the...

Damn Tesla has convinced me to spend an extra 15-20k by offering FUSC with the Foundation series. I tried to do the lease transfer but it failed at the highest levels of course so won't be able to claim the $7500 credit but in lieu of it I get Free Supercharging for Life. The VIN is in the 33k...
