Yes, this is exactly my point. Except I'm looking at the flip side: 50% of cybertrucks need to be able to travel to those incredible places where Tesla hasn't set up infrastructure. They will need CCS when they get there. It would be highly disappointing (for many) if the CT turns out to be...

Sure. But there is a larger point here. *ALL* CT owners need to be able take their trucks to the far-out places where superchargers don't exist, it's not just Alaska. Take a look at Plugshare, most of those "far-out" places have CCS charging, and at 50kW, it's a decent fallback when you need it...

If I'm not mistaken, J1772 is 20kW charging, vs 50kW for the CCS. That's the difference between wanting to actually take the truck somewhere, and deciding to take the ICE truck instead.

False. This is really concerning. Tesla needs to release a CCS adaptor ASAP. It's ludicrous to assume that CCS is dead and CT owners will only need superchargers going forward. Literally what is the point of a truck if you can't take it to remote places where there are no super chargers? These...

The information about delivery location seems incorrect. There are a lot of people picking up new teslas in a different state than the registration state. Alaska being a prime example of this. We can opt to have the new tesla barged up to Anchorage, but many people have been choosing to pick up...

I think if Tesla had not advertised the initial 500-mile claim for the CT, people would probably be stoked about the new stated range of 340miles. That's an impressive number for a truck and people should appreciate it (likewise the 352mi large-pack option on the Rivian). Like everyone else, I...

I believe @greggertruck knows of one?

Can someone confirm whether the cybertruck display background terrain is a depiction of the actual terrain in your location? Or is it just a random background? Would be a cool feature for it to show the mountains in your actual location. I know it won't be useful for navigating in rough areas...

I'm curious why you want an EV truck if the main goal is towing a heavy camper. I feel like you're probably going to be disappointed with any of the EV truck options if towing a camper long distance is your benchmark. You might need to decide what your motivations are. If it's reducing...

Woops, didn't realize that section scrolls. Nice!

Would love to see a chart breaking down which states these CTs are going to. Would be very useful info as the spreadsheet fills up.

Also interested. In my remote part of Alaska, it's 244 miles and 2500ft elevation gain to the nearest city (Whitehorse, Yukon). There is a 50kw charger halfway which is better than nothing. But a 340 mile range simply won't cut it for all scenarios, like winter driving and bad weather. The...

Something to ponder: If the new $7500 tax credit didn't exist, and the All-wheel-drive model was MSRP at $72,500, would you be as upset about the pricing?

oh damn! That's slick. Does it have rigid poles?

This is still better pricing and value than any other electric truck. $72,500 ain't bad for an incredible truck with locking diffs, 17" of clearance, locking vault, 340miles of range, and no dealer markup. I'll be following through with my purchase.

Sharing a post from the Alaska tesla owners facebook group. Not sure who took the photos. ....I wonder if they drove it all the way here or had it shipped?

I feel like I addressed that pretty well. The calculation should be dynamic. It will start out with an assumption about good conditions, and then update as time goes on to include real data. Makes perfect sense to me. Forgive me for mixing up topics here, but to be real, it was the Reuters...

This has been well known for years, and it's a non-issue. Not at all worthy of the "big deal" the article makes it out to be. Put yourself in Tesla's shoes. You're the engineer in charge of deciding how the on-screen range meter calculates range. You have an infinite array of possibilities as...

Read the Reuters article. Was pretty shocked at how aggressive its tone against Tesla is. This is obvious bias similar to the BS being published by Wired. To be clear I believe strongly in the importance of the media and journalism in general. But this article is so clearly a hit piece against...
