I may be the one or one of those using the wrong units to hurt your head. We all want to be able to know everything if possible but we can tolerate mistakes. All I care is I bought the CT with the right battery pack that can go 500 miles and hopefully reach a destination of 300 real-world miles...
My personal budget is $80K or less. It will depend on the news at the time if I'll adjust my budget. I'm not first in line to receive the order anyway.
I'm not surprised. I play golf with 80 guys in our association, I believe 80% don't much and many of those don't know anything about EV especially Cybertruck.
We got similar mileage because if I drove 90 mi round trip with my Model 3 LR, I used about 40%. If I drove 170 mi r-trip, I used 80%. For EPA rated 330 mi, I only got an effective 200 to 210 mi fully charged on the terrain similar to yours In Nevada. Practically, I'm only getting 65% efficiency...
I'm betting on the tri motor which is supposed to be rated 500 mi to at least get 300 mile. Hope I won't LOSE AGAIN. To get 300 miles against any factor thrown your way is comfortable
Yes, I was talking ICE that gets 500 miles. This EV is my first one where EPA range is 330 mi but I have not personally driven 220 miles on a full charge. Couldn't make it. Regardless of wind. AC, heater, 80 mph speed or other factors, 280 miles would have been ideal and acceptable. But I still...
Thanks for your open mindedness.
Some people live on a flat area like Chicago. Maybe you get close to 300 mi there but in my area, I didn't expect ev to be this sensitive that I drive like I'm paranoid due to the range issue. Other than the range, I like ev that's why I'll get the CT tri if...
I got 500 miles when on a pure highway at 80 mph. I drove round trip to Vancouver from Las Vegas. There were laps where I averaged 28 mpg for say 200 miles before I rest or ate. My car had an 18 gallon tank. If you multiply 18 gallons by 28 mpg, that's 500 miles. You don't expect me to drive...
I botched about this with tesla store/service. I said I expected at least 280 miles for a 330-mile rated car. They said it my driving. Partly true partly BS.
Well, months later I read across on Google search that the 72 kw battery was only set for 75% usable so it was in essence only 54 kw that...
We all have varied experiences. It's true that EPA ratings are off. However, I didn't experience that with my BMW. It says 17 mpg city and I got exactly that. It says 26 miles highway, I got that and more if I drove on an extended pure highway. That's why I have high regards on BMW for ICE...
My reasoning is very personal. I live in a place that's 85 miles to a big city WITHOUT CHARGERS ALONG THE WAY, yet, where I shop for ethnic groceries visit relatives and do other stops. The highway terrain is far from normal. So much winding and people don't drive under 80 for a 70- mile stretch...
