    Jailbreak Tesla

    Yes, but I also have a right to repair and modify what I own. Can I legally hack the Tesla vehicle firmware on seat heaters? Probably not. Can I load my own reverse engineered firmware? Absolutely, if I cared enough to do so. Can I DIY my own smart switch to turn on the installed seat heaters...

    No Midgate?

    Just because the avalanche leaked doesn't mean all midgates must leak. I definitely would prefer if the CT had a midgate. So much more flexibility not having that hard partition there. Not a deal breaker, but definitely a utility reducer not having it.

    Solar Panel planning for the Cybertruck

    You're assuming the OP does not have room for a ground mount on their property :)

    Solar charging idea….. ELON

    Careful with the DOKIO brand flexible panels (what appears to be pictured in your copied listing), or any of their side brands they use to dodge buildup of bad reviews. I tested out a set and they had internal shorts and were burning through their face ply layers by the second day on the sun...

    Solar Panel planning for the Cybertruck

    Formula is miles/day average divided by CT efficiency (unknown, but 2.5 miles / kWh would be a reasonable guess) divided by the average solar hours per day in your location (there are maps for this all over the place) = kWp of solar panels needed on average to charge the CT x system loss /...

    Telo EV Pickup Truck -- a good option for Crissa

    Yeah that got asked about in the discord also. It's an optical illusion of the renders. The point of the body is actually in front of the tire, which is apparently required by FMVSS?

    Telo EV Pickup Truck -- a good option for Crissa

    @C T Rick - I broke my rule about no more reservations (collected too many already), put one down a bit back. Haven't seen my res number email come through yet though. Been on the Telo discord since basically the first day the company broke stealth mode. Good people in there from the company...

    you ordered the 500 miles cybertruck, and they launch with the 350 miles, what do you do

    Once again, not enough reasonable options in the poll choices. Totally depends on price/range + feature override vs competition. 350 miles range for USD$59k: Yep I'm in. 350 miles range for USD$99k: hard pass.

    How do you like the frunk size

    Because the frunk is so easy for a thief to pop open on our Y, we do not keep anything valuable in there anyway. Emergency supplies like water, blankets or shade cloth depending on season, dry change of clothes, windshield washing supplies, etc. I expect to be doing similar with the CT, so 5-7...

    Fisker Alaska EV truck unveil

    Don't worry Crissa, we won't hold it against you. Even a stopped Aussie hypejunkie can be right up to twice a day. As to Fisker, jury is still out in my mind. Asset light / contract production is not a well known road. The only other example of anyone trying it recently that I know of in North...

    Cybertruck Megacharger compatibility possible? After Megacharger stall for smaller vehicles spotted

    Kyle refers to it as MCS "version 2" at time code 20:56 in the video, compares it to triangular "version 3" right after that. Combine with the Wikipedia link I gave above, you have all you need to know.

    Rear View/Blind Spot monitor interest?

    That's hilarious. Both the homophone with cannabis but also the "Can I?" Bus that says whether you are allowed to access the already installed feature or not...

    Fisker Alaska EV truck unveil

    That completely blocks the rear view mirror, ability to see out the back window, and gives back passengers claustrophobia? Nope, that's not a feature, that's a straight up gimmick that needs to not make it to production.

    100% Electric Tree Farm Soon!

    No laughter at all. Makes perfect sense to me. How big of a bar do you run on the 80V saws?

    FIRST DELIVERIES NEXT MONTH!?

    I will take the 4+20 space on the betting pool.

    Fisker Alaska EV truck unveil

    Yes the Force-E is an upgrade kit for the Ocean. The fact that they are going to offer it to existing Ocean owners is a smart idea to produce after sales revenue. Buy a used Ocean, buy the upgrade kit, go camping. Done. Monster truck? Nope. But doesn't need to be to get to some awesome primitive...

    How much would you pay for a range extender.

    On an 11 hour trip, I'm stopping at least 3 times to let go of some energy drink anyway. So solution 1 is more well spaced and powerful charging stations. If that's not practical for some reason, solution 2 is a rentable range extender trailer. Been talking to the Telo guys about that in their...

    Not a good look for Tesla: diversion team tactics to deal with range complaints

    MPG has always been a dumb unit, even for ICE cars. But it's doubly dumb to put an e at the end and apply to EVs. EPA / FTC need to junk the whole system and start over.
