  1. Alex on Autos: The truth about EVs and Solar

    I am very interested in a PV system and was quoted panels with micro inverters. The single most important issue to me was; “I was told that I would not have power if the grid was down”. That in itself killed the deal. I want power if/when the grid fails. I want to be responsible for my own power...
  2. Alex on Autos: The truth about EVs and Solar

    Thank you, my power company offers and I currently use the reduced TOU rate. Monthly average is at .18 per kWh? I’ve not researched others to see how my rate compares.
  3. Engineering Explained: If Gas cars are banned, Can The Grid Handle Electric Cars?

    Interesting discussion but it seems a bit dated as he states at least twice “In 2020”? Locally, I’ve watched coal fired power plants shut down without a sustainable solution to replace that energy. I’ve watched population growth across the states? Recently issues in Texas basically shut down the...
  4. Alex on Autos: The truth about EVs and Solar

    Maybe this is the place for my thoughts; Speaking in terms of Grid reliability and those cost associated with failure as seen most recently in Texas. What if; assume for a second that ICE vehicles give way to the battery powered vehicles in the future. What happens to the Grid when everybody...
  5. Tesla Files to use new millimeter-wave radar on FSD cars.

    I’m old enough to remember the first “McQuter”, that’s right people couldn’t get the name right. Then the cellphone, or Bagphone, whatever, tube type tv’s, and bulky cameras that required a visit to the local shop to get your film developed. FSD, He’ll Yea!!! I’m all in and hope I live long...
  6. Elon Musk's internet via satellite arouses the interest of Deutsche Telekom

    When will it hit the US market? Will it be affordable? Us folks out in the wild blue yonder need high speed data at affordable prices. Thanks Elon fer fixin’ all the stuff that ales us.
  7. Tesla Files to use new millimeter-wave radar on FSD cars.

    Does anyone else’s brain hurt after reading all these post? It just need to work, we all don’t need to know how it works. Where’s my CT at, if I whistle real loud can it come to me?
  8. Elon and Cybertruck

    Signature version? call me weird whatever, I want Elon to personally sign my CT, “To Pappy, enjoy the hell outta this truck cause it’ll be the last truck you’ll ever need”
  9. If you could request three factory add-ons, what would they be?

    Not for me, But.... what about our “Wounded Warriors”. Wheelchair access? Maybe up the tailgate into the driver compartment? Wheelchair storage? Hand control rather than foot controls. Other ideas, anyone? Course all would be options but may be great to incorporate into the original design.
  10. Post your Cybertruck preorder reservation number!

    My number comes up 95,367 for trim but 284,086 est. position, what’s up with that?
  11. Cybertruck Has a Texas Home! Musk Announces Gigafactory Texas For Cybertruck Production!

    Ohhh... but the operating costs start increasing dramatically right about that mileage. Injectors, turbos, starters, fuel pumps all begin to fail right about then. I had to let my last Ford go simply because of operating cost, I couldn’t afford to keep that truck any longer.
  12. For those who are apposed to the $7,500 rebate.

    I’ll take my $7500 and stand proud when I do. I NEED that CT to reduce my operating cost of owning a vehicle to haul firewood, water and trash. I know about 90% of the people on this post don’t have to do that, but I do. I’m retired, I paid taxes all my life, and I’m good with that until... I...
  13. If you could request three factory add-ons, what would they be?

    1) Complete tow package, brake controller, trailer hitch camera, wiring harness. 2) Access to vault like Chevy Avalanche. 3) Crawl mode for ascending/descending steep grades.
  14. Rear passthrough possible

    I had an Avalanche and I used that feature a lot, I really hope CT incorporates that into final design.
  15. Future parking lot dilemma. Which Cybertruck is mine?

    Mines gonna be a traveling billboard, wont be hard at all to find it. ?
  16. Would you attend a 'Cybertruck Adventure Rally' in summer of 2022?

    I should have read your post before I posted. At least there is a couple of us concerned about charging location??
  17. Would you attend a 'Cybertruck Adventure Rally' in summer of 2022?

    I’m sure there is one question that will have to be answered no matter the location, just how many Super Chargers are available? I know of one in Silverton but there could be more.
  18. Would you attend a 'Cybertruck Adventure Rally' in summer of 2022?
