Not enough space, and given the height off the ground of the roof (a large colonial) I'd rather not deal with roof-mounted panels. Especially considering that I have no shortage of ground space. The animal barn has its own rooftop microgrid/battery and uses little power, but the shop...

In my case, my utility is significantly more permissive than my township zoning ordinances- the township being my AHJ I'm this instance. The township did some stuff to try to keep a solar farm out and succeeded, but also basically killed rooftop solar at the same time. They grandfathered in...

Good luck! Genuinely. I'm building a house right now, and looking to place a ground mount solar array large enough to off-grid (once I can afford all the batteries :LOL:). I have 17 acres, and the zoning ordinance will only allow me to place a ground mounted solar array "with a total PV array...

Same. Won't be trading in my X with only a 5 seat option :(

Yeah those yellow plugs look a little like powercon but its hard to tell for sure.

^^this is how you know the post was written by a real, frazzled, (likely staff) engineer

What company? I'm in marketing and would love to check it out.

I think we all have those same questions - hopefully we get some answers on March 1st. I assume any bed-mounted lumber rack will be the same, and it'll just prevent use of the tonneau (assuming that's a standard option).

Back in October the rear side glass on my X shattered. When it shattered, because we were traveling down a highway at the time, the glass left all kinds of scratches and chips along the paint on basically every surface behind and below the window. While my insurance has covered the repair, it...

The X was a "trade up" from our 2018 Pacifica Hybrid. We were being offerd more than we paid for the hybrid by Tesla, and the X was used and a great price. Even with the recent depreciation hits, my black book value vs purchase price is still nearly break even. And since I drove the minivan, I...

Just watched - incredible that even up against a Prius the economics still favor the M3 in the short term.

I 100% agree with you. Electric cars are one of the easiest decisions to make when you think about it from an economic standpoint. This is particularly true if you live in an area with cheap electricity, or if you have the means to produce your own electricity via solar. What used to be $6,000...

Baller here, but my wife says I'm actually not. Who you gonna believe. :cool: This is my plan of action: 1) Convince my wife to trade in her Bolt, take my Model X, and then add the CT as our second car. 2) When that fails, trade in the Model X (assuming I can get ~$65k for it or so). 3) If I...

I can't imagine. It was $1,200 to have my side window replaced in my X. I hear those windshields are north of $2k. I have experience with a variety of devices made of "sapphire glass" and while strong, there are def day-to-day experiences that can crack it. Scratches not so much, but the...

TBH, I didn't know Arcimoto started deliveries - and I literally have a google calendar where I track these things (specific dates for EV reveals/releases/first deliveries/etc.). I looked at these like 2 years ago and assumed that it'd either never get to market but if it did it'd be 2 years of...

They don't need the financial incentive, nor do I honestly believe a financial incentive of that size would be sufficient to encourage a switch to EV/PHEV amongst that group if they're not already thinking that way. Granted, this is opinion, and I'm always open to be changed by facts, but IMO...

Why on Earth do we need to incentivise those in the top 10%? I ask, as a member of that group, why I should be getting gov money for something I can already afford.

Yeah, which tbh is about where a vehicle that size and with those capabilities should be. Lets not forget that just 4 years ago that every non-luxury OEM compact base model was under $20k. Average new car prices are absolutely bonkers since 2020, and a lot of people seem to have become...

Agree - the X is a luxury car, and def a "fancy vehicle", and IMO should not qualify for the credit. We're on the same page there. I differ from most of this thread in that I could care less about the capacity/space/weight requirements, and think it's all about the price. Unless you're making...

I traded in my minivan (Pacifica Hybrid) for an X, mostly because I no longer wanted any vehicles that used gas. I lost cargo space, but I gained significant towing capabilities and because I am able to pull a loaded box trailer with it I was also able to dump the old truck I kept around for...
