I wonder what the military would think about a private company having a constant connection to their vehicles. Perhaps Tesla could open a military division (https://x.mil ?) that would be a trusted contractor.
As far as the cops go, they already use a bunch of Tesla so I can see that, and I do...
Wait, a black car absorbs more heat that the AC has to cool? How is that? Perhaps some heat in the frunk that a silver car wouldn't have but are you saying that the doors that have an open to the air gap before the interior panel is passing more heat into the car than a silver car? That makes...
Would be kinda cool assuming the pack CAN be split (and really that's the only acceptable 400v solution) if they put a second charge port on the other side of the car. As long as you are splitting the pack one option could be splitting it into two packs that could be charged from separate plugs...
That doesn't sound right to me. If you are selling hundreds of something you have overhead you need to cover, if you are selling thousands of that same thing, each sale doesn't need as much profit to cover that overhead
Why isn't there a Thumbs Down and an Informative and Helpful button on this board? Just hitting Like for everything seems unhelpful and Amazing Sad and Angry isn't useful to anyone
The thing going on at the rear of the CT is probably the 240v inverter output or the compressor plug
Will be...
Are we sure it still rolls up? Looks like the front of the cover is up against the windshield where the light bar used to be in some of the other shots. Could it just slide under the roof In the beta design? That would explain why we’re not seeing it blocking the rear window and why the roof is...
I do love me some free charging but the free charging is SUCH a draw as there is no app that tracks pricing for chargers. You can either filter by free ones or close ones, there isn’t a filter for cheap ones. So despite the fact that there is a charger near me that only charges 12 cents per most...
It's a popular thing for Airstreamers to do as well, although they started with an aluminum body so it's probably easier to do the initial polish. But you don't have to keep the Stainless Steel polished as often I would think as it will not get scratches or corrosion as fast.
If Walmart covers their parking lots in solar canopies how will we park our 12+ foot high RVs in the lot to spend the night while on the road? They'll have to jack them up to 14+ feet and the support beams will mean long vehicles will not be able to park in two consecutive spaces. This is...
Lots wrong with me, but lots wrong with everyone. You for instance posted ICE cars catch fire more than EVs, in response to a post about charging cars near a building.
That's fine, but irrelevant. So I pointed out that more EVs catch fire when charging or just sitting for a long period after...
I agree that they are normalized. I am just saying, they don't happen out of the blue the way EVs like the Chevy Bolt or the Jaguar or early Model S's do. How many fires has Ford had to deal with? Jaguar is still refusing to acknowledge their issue even though when this percentage of the cars...
I did say charging, not pouring flammable liquid in, and I didn't see any stories of the car catching on fire by itself at a gas station. And the fires in the garages are either not listed as to the cause, so likely vandalism, or they say its an extremely unlikely, rare condition when it...
Not while charging, or sitting in the garage after a drive.
I wonder if we will ever get to the point where we can install a charge post at the curb or hang a charger on the telephone pole. I don't want people tripping on the sidewalk and I don't want an ADA compliant rubber cable protector...
That video was painful to watch, but I signed up once upon a time and carry the cards and apps with me when I drive. It's not that hard. If I was an EV reviewer you might think you will wanna charge somewhere. It's like showing up for an interview w/o any questions, not good journalism.
That...
That's what I want, or a Safari Condo, two bare metal vehicles out in the blazing sun not worrying about their paint. Too bad they don't make one in Stainless Steel, I aways see Airstreams with huge dents that have been backed into things
