Yeah, i thought it was Idra. Maybe, since this is a Chinese company, it is for their market. I understand that Tesla is the only foreign company that China has allowed to own their operation outright. All the others are in partnerships with Chinese companies.

Maybe I am the only one who remembers this, but here it goes. The reason for the 500 mile range, according to Mr. Musk, is so the minimum range available to the driver under full load is 250 miles. He has stated on many occasions that Tesla will not make a car that won't have at least 250...

Listening to him, he sounds knowledgeable. Yet, it comes down to aesthetics not performance. Honestly, I do not want a pretty pony. I want a stout horse or mule. I didn't get any new information from this. He repeats that he doesn't use or need a truck, yet he asserts that he knows what...

A hint?! Ya think? I read through that whole mess of a hit piece and just laughed at each point.

I hope they do. That way my place in line comes earlier. I am certain whichever truck people choose will out perform the I.C.E. version, so they will be happy... as long as they don't try to compete with the cybertruck.

Your only fear? I am worried about driving my 72 Ford with a big block anywhere but locally. The fuel costs here are in the high $3s and as much as I love my baby, it will make my ears ring, my back hurt, and then there is the constant human interaction of no A/C, no cruise control, and no...

me too.

The video must have been taken by an UFO enthusiast! So clear and definitive! ;)

Every manufacturer does. The Stainless is just less likely to react.

Funny how this makes sense. The way Tesla builds is much different than the way legacy automakers build. No Tesla models sitting on lots for bargain hunters. For this matter, the used Tesla market is a premium market too.

3 hours, 10 hours, 30 hours, days... I don't care about how long it really takes a car to be made. What I noticed is the fear of realization that the VW CEO proclaimed. Regardless of his bravado, the statement and the choir of comments on this string reveal there is an ocean of efficiency...

I know we are both Oregon residents, but there are many areas in Oregon, mine specifically, where workers live in surrounding areas and commute far beyond 20 miles in one direction. Yet, the infrastructure in my area is minuscule and sparely available, especially if commuting from smaller towns...

This goes to my point. Sure, those mindful of the benefits will stretch to the leaf while the supplies last. But for the complete transition, BEV has to be affordable and have some residual longevity for the resale market to be effective. I trust that Tesla will fill the niche eventually in...

YES! Yes it certainly is!

IMHO these claims from manufacturers are a joke. The consumers are going to drive the move to EV. The wealthy have the cash but they still only drive one at a time. When someone who works for minimum wage can afford an EV we will see a move to ALL electric vehicles. Until the poor masses can...

I agree with you as a driver! However, as a motorhead, the attraction to I.C.E. is visceral. It isn't necessarily the sound to the ears as it is the sound to our sense of touch. The feeling of a powerful combustion engine is in the bones and the muscles and it is titillating. With this said...

My solution to your observation is get yourself a toy. My wife and I have a model 3 and I am in queue for a Cybertruck, but I have a 1966 Ford Galaxie that I am building with the intent of driving for fun and the pride of the build. I wouldn't suggest taking on such a massive project, but I...

Maybe this is a foul, but I will ask a question to answer your question. The energy in the pack must be managed to be useful, so wouldn't this dictate the size of the battery pack? Years back, Tesla had to invent a new way to handle the power of the 100KW battery pack because until then the...

We have a model 3 and the same situation. Erika will allow me to drive the Tesla occasionally IF she doesn't plan on using it. However, I will be selling the trucks and keeping both the Teslas.

I am disappointed. I have always bought old and broken and rebuilt and repaired because I had to. This cybertruck is my first new purchase for myself, not my family, kids, or wife, just because of my want. As such, I have been anticipating the day I sent the money to purchase my very own...
