And people with guns ready to take your shit.

Those guys are experts at leading on investors and burning cash. I will have a hard time shelling out the same money for a 2 seater as a model 2 or whatever 4 seater is available (smaller footprint with similar range). Those will be pretty darn environmentally friendly but maybe not as fun as...

I don't think Gen 3 (dry cathode) batteries have not made it to installation in the CT. If they have, Tesla is or will range limit them. Tesla is very careful with the Osborne effect. They don't want people to wait for 3 more months to buy, when they can get a 40% margin now. I predict...

This would be cool during a non EMP apocalypse. If you drove 40 MPH you could get around a bit. Of course you would need weapons to keep from getting carjacked. etc. etc.

I agree the weight is negligible. It is the aero penalty that concerns me.

Unfortunately you need to back out the milage penalty on the freeway. Good effort though.

I agree, if not removable by a handy well equipped DIY I am out for sure. 10-15% cell density is coming eventually. I will wait for that.

I have said this before but here it goes again. Install 48VDC battery pack to whatever size you want, install a 48VDC to 110/220VAC inverter, provide a connection from your 110/220VAC inverter to the built in charger, then hack the interlock that will allow you to send charging dc voltage to...

Wait for a trailer with a pusher battery. Then you aren't carting it around when you don't need it.

We don't know Teslas margin. It may be really high now. Car companies will continue to take loses for a while to remain relevant for market share. The prices definitely won't come down without some volume. They know that. I have to stick with my hypothesis in that competition will force...

The current info says 74kWh and 145 mile range. Less than 100 mile bev range and I am out for sure. I would really like a smaller range extender motor. I am not getting how a 500 plus hp motor is required to turn the 130kw range extender generator. You would think bev should be way...

The EV truck segment is going to be so competitive in 2025. I would have placed a deposit today but I read it is non refundable if you get a call to configure. I can see them jacking the price like Tesla did and taking my measly $100 while trying to harvest the cream. I really want the CT...

So how much are totaled CT going for?

My understanding is that one motor does most of the work most of the time. Permanent magnet motors can be more efficient.

I think it bodes well for Tesla and the Cyber Truck that both LG and Panasonic are diving into the 46 wide format. I was a little worried for a while with all the noise about solid state competition and getting passed up by BYD and other suppliers. My new feed is full of these "break...

The bed length with the midgate is its own category or asterisks at the least because you loose 3 passenger seats. Neat, but it comes with a cost. Otherwise he made some valid arguments.

That space looks like an opportunity to store something. Straps bungee vice grips etc

At current proposed prices conversion rates are probably 50%. Those prices won't change as long as there is a 2 month backlog.

But over 5 hours it does add up. With very little extra weight. Run it while you drive.

There are several ways to estimate payback. Comparing to ice is just one. I won't take my M3 on a road trip to Northern Idaho. Too much planning and time. In a couple years it will be easier. 400 mile range would help a lot now. I am so spoiled and guilty for changing at home with...
