Not for many many many moons, until at least 4680 run rate > real demand rate.

Correction, $79,990. The other price comes from the bogus "potential savings" marketing gimmick.

Just started playing with it myself. I cannot vouch for it's accuracy. But something to keep y'all entertained till your D-Day...

11 years on, and the fat and far forward A pillar still gets me into trouble on my Volt. Kids running into the street, pedestrians doing a late cross against where I'm about to turn, etc are all a problem. Haven't hit anybody yet but man have there been too many close calls, even with "my head...

No thanks, I'll use my own:

There's such a thing as USB-C "decoy" converters that will take a PD source and spit out a predefined voltage like 9V, 12V, 15V, etc. Not sure the amperage ratings, ripple stability, etc. But I've seen various ones on Temu and AliExpress. Linus Tech Tips did a whole video about replacing DC in...

True open source? Doubt it highly. Publish via patent paper? (and pinky swear to not sue you if you don't sure them): possible.

In the plastic bucket itself, yeah too small. I'm talking about removing the underbed storage bucket entirely and utilizing all the available space behind the axle, plus a 1 layer thick sheet of structural battery throughout the rest of the bed too. That gives a consistent bed floor height, and...

Negative. Both of mine still appear within my Account section on the website.

Another design choice fail for sure.

2 million times 20% is still ~400k units. Boutique compared to current Model Y run rate, but certainly nothing to sneeze at. I expect when (not if) demand for the primo variants of the truck start to taper off, prices for the current editions will slide, de-contented editions will be added...

I don't like the physical form factor and placement of the Tesla OEM RE pack. I'd much rather give up the under bed storage, and have a consistent height across the bottom of the bed. 3rd parties may figure this out in time. Not going to hold my breath though.

The bots in that video sure are Optimustic about what they're doing.

Honestly I'd take Out of Spec and Alex on Autos / EV Buyers Guide over the old guard auto journalists any day.

I wonder if one of the 4 "packlets" (modules?) be replaced independently, or if they have to be replaced all four at once.

Forgot I found this awhile back, looks like they've been doing some DIY reverse engineering experimentation with V2L/V2H type stuff with Tesla and other brands...

The 9.6kW out of the NEMA 14-50 V2L, I agree. 11.5kW V2H has to go through the NACS port as far as I can tell. That's what I was referring to about reverse engineering, so it could work with Enphase, SolarEdge, Sol-Ark, etc ecosystems. It's possible they're using off the shelf CCS/ISO-15118...

I got it about 2 hours ago. RN112754xxx

You're on the bogus potential savings tab. Change to the "purchase price" tab.

Now I'm wondering if it's a way too subtle way of saying, "All the people buying the $100k Beast Mode truck are going to be skipping you in the mythical line for a year or two, so you might as well get something else". But I might be a little extra cynical today.
