My 2019 deposit was made at a time when I put EVERY spare dollar I had into $TSLA stock, and at that time stock price was 1/10th what it is now. It kind of sticks in my craw that the opportunity cost of my $100 reservation is $1000. If I were facing $10,000 in lost brokerage balance (if 2019...
I hope it will take the terrain into account when it lowers. My sister once borrowed my Model S and when she backed out of a parking spot the front bumper cover got yanked off. ? She swears it didn't drag on anything when she pulled in, so the only hypothesis I could come up with to explain it...
The Silverado I drive at work has the handles down low on the A-Pillar, presumably below the air bags (?). I've gotten real used to standing on the running board and holding the handle to pendulum my weight into the seat without dragging my butt across the seat side bolster (causing unsightly...
All Tesla's TPMS show the actual pressure (at least since my 2013 MS).
By "replace every 3 years", are you talking about the TPMS sensors? because replacing them anywhere near that often is just tire shop scam. I've had to walk out of a shop that insisted that I replace them with my first tire...
There are some places where you'll need to unhook, but other places where you won't. There are some pull thru SuperCharger stations and the newer the location the more likely that it will be either pull thru or have a head in parking stall at the location. At lightly used (usually rural)...
But I'll never buy another ICE vehicle. I'm EV RVing with an "early adopter" mind set. I'll be happy stopping often, driving slower, and downsizing to achieve my goal. 175 miles will get me between all but the most widely spaced SuperChargers. Those holes will be destinations for me. That's not...
We need a term like "Rocket Equation" for EV battery sizes. When you throw more and more batteries in you get diminishing returns, eventually losing range for each extra battery you add.
You don't need SuperChargers at your destination, that's what Destination Chargers are for. Any place with 240v outlets will do (RV parks, campsites, etc.) For me, the destination is where I want to spend some time, not driving. Hiking, biking, museuming (is that a word?) If you look at DCFC...
