I've had my eye on this 3rd party Tesla SC 14 foot "Extension cord" for awhile. They always seem to be out of stock. It says the cable is good for up to 350 kW, but the wire in the photo looks pretty small in diameter...So I don't know...But the idea itself is promising...

Franz talked about this in a MotorTrend article at the time of the unveiling back in 2019.... "Our suggestion was to have multiple charge ports on the truck, perhaps one at each corner, though it wasn't in the cards. Tesla chief designer Franz von Holzhausen tells us the additional wiring...

All I can say is that for the Model 3, they delivered a few vehicles in summer 2017 to board members, VIPs, etc. and I received mine in December 2017 as VIN number 1927. I believe the Model 3 was an easier vehicle to build as compared to the many-newfangled-material/tech things that the...

If they make a new version of the Wall Connector, it may not be just because of the power output. It may also have additional features, such as Vehicle-to-Home or Vehicle-to-Grid connectivity and the associated safety / protection features. That may be worth waiting for, if you're interested...

I wouldn't recommend spending a lot of money on an early Cyber Truck charging solution just yet... What if the first generation of the truck is released and it has some form of vehicle-to-grid or vehicle-to-home hardware on board (like the Ford truck), but you need a special Tesla EVSE to...

Hit the lottery tonight with an invite to the upcoming Giga Texas Shareholder meeting!!! You know I'll be paying extra special attention to the Cybertrucks on display...Here's a loaded question... :) Anything in particular I should be looking for or ask about with respect to the CT?

We went to the museum a few months ago and thoroughly enjoyed all the exhibits (and especially the Tesla exhibit). It took us several hours to go through and look at everything. They have parking on-site, so you don't have to park somewhere else and walk over. There are a few EV chargers, but...

By the way, according to the TMC forum, there is still an issue with recent Teslas being delivered with a low voltage lithium ion battery that is operated near 16v. Some people have had 12v accessories stop working when plugging into the accessory outlet, and the trailer hitch socket pins on...

Tesla was granted a patent on 5/27/21 for Context Sensitive User Interface for Enhanced Vehicle Operation as related to the Cybertruck. The publication number for this patent is US 2021/0156705 A1. Link: https://patents.google.com/patent/US20210156705A1/en The screen shots that are included in...

I think your calcs look reasonable, but since you are trying to beat the deadline for NEM 3, I would go a step further. Within reason, why not install more panels if you have space on your roof and fill it up or at least maximize the "Good space"? You won't have a second chance to do this...

Over the past few months, there's been some discussion of the very large Cyber Truck windshield wiper arm that has appeared on the prototype trucks. It got me to thinking over the weekend... Is there any chance that Tesla will pull a "surprise" on production trucks coming later this year and...

48v battery for Cybertruck!!! Trailer and towing will still need 12v...

48v battery for Cybertruck!!! Just revealed at Investor Event Day 2023 Towing and trailers sill have a need for 12v for rear lights, etc....Hmmm....

The charge port area on the driver's side rear has changed from the unveiling to this video...I took the first photo at the unveiling...

You bet they will deliver trucks first with the FSD option selected. More revenue guaranteed...

It may not be applicable, but maybe some sort of parallel story is how they rolled out the Model 3 in 2017. They started with a few cars in the summer and ramped up the production. I was lucky enough to take delivery in late December 2017 (previous owner, located in California, and made my...

I'll be watching this with interest. Big Bear in California has been a location that would have been desirable to install SC for quite some time. From my utility experience and working with Tesla SC folks, I know that recruiting a willing site host is the biggest part of getting started on a...

Here's a screen shot I saved along the way that was posted on-line (since I didn't do it when ordering), showing 500+ miles of EPA-rated range for the Tri-Motor AWD model of Cybertruck... ,

There's also the requirement (if adopted by the local AHJ) in the recent edition of the NEC to require a GFCI circuit breaker in the panel for the receptacle installation, and no such requirement for the Wall Connector...That puts the cost equation on more of an even footing for both solutions...
