Q1 has been the slowest vehicle sales quarter of the year for as long as I can remember. Sales reliably pick up in the spring, summer and into fall. Anyone following this forum has noticed a strong uptick in new buyer interest in recent weeks and months that goes beyond seasonal variations...

Boy, that was quick! People are coming to realize just how much they have been misled about the Cybertruck by bad-actors.

You sound new to EVs, based upon the number of misconceptions you hold. I don't know anyone who targets 5-40% SOC on road trips as a general rule. The most common (for people that know what they're doing) is to target around 10% and charge to around 60-65%, while skipping most Supercharger...

I hereby christen you as "Giganegativity". It's incessant and most often not based in reality.

If it sees an animal that doesn't seem like it's on a collision course, it might just behave as if it wasn't there. Also, if there is another car following it's limited in it's ability to brake (because the car behind might be a bigger threat than the animal in front).

Makes sense, discretion is the better part of valor! I've been testing the latest version FSD on some little travelled packed dirt forest roads that have tight twisty sections and lots of big humps and dips (blind rises falling into tight downhill corners, etc.). These are one lane with no...

This is false. Major gnarly rock crawling is not the only time the lockers (or torque vectoring) is needed just to get through. Steep slippery off-off camber slopes, deep heavy snow, any slippery terrain that unloads one of the rear tires will benefit from torque transfer to the loaded tire (and...

How many miles of experience do you have in any vehicle with variable steering ratio and no physical connection?

Definitely check with the Forest Service about the condition of any route you plan to take in this remote area but I would explore the routes to the North of Bakersfield using the McFarland Supercharger. There are a couple that look doable of under 100 miles. Do you have a photo of the trailer...

I see. It looks like you could use Superchargers to get to/from your destination without issue, even towing a big trailer, but not via your chosen route through the Sierra Nevada Mountain range. If you are set on that route, you could always spend one night south of your destination at a...

No need, pretty sure it doesn't fit based on the photo. Electric fridges are good for 4 day+ camping/road trips but for everything else I prefer to just toss one or two large flat cooler packs in a cooler. There are some tricks to make it work for three day trips, but nothing too involved. My...

Is this on the East side of Yosemite?

Thanks for the trip report! I am a little confused, did you guys turn around because you didn't know if the route would work (and didn't want to find out), because it got too rugged, or a combination of factors? Did you find a scenic loop back around the closure? Sometimes backcountry routes...

I wouldn't want a refrigerator/cooler to be located in the Smuggler's Bay. I reserve that for emergency/off-road gear (and even then I need to remember to relocate those essential items if I'm going to load the bed with anything substantial). Imagine this: Cutting wood all morning, sun comes...

Well, it's a Humbra and everyone knows higher end bras can get pricey, this one retails for $2,045: Dolce&Gabbana Striped Crystal-Embellished Poplin Bra | Neiman Marcus

Is that why you refuse to fly on commercial airliners? The lack of a physical connection makes it too dangerous?

My truck has lived outside in the rain for the last 2+ years. Never a problem.

The bands may overlap slightly in a graphic EQ, but uniform adjustments across all of them still result in a flat overall lift or cut with no meaningful change to the "shape" of the sound. This means you could subtract 5 from each of your settings and achieve essentially the same thing, maybe...

I don't know about that. We have a 2010 F-150 with 50K miles on it, and two old Model 3's (a RWD and a Performance), a 2024 Model 3 Performance and a 2024 FS AWD Cybertruck. Guess which ones get driven? Only the last two (daily drivers for my wife and me). If we need a truck we use the...

Well, it looks like you just answered your own question then. It sounds like Cox lists BEV sales separately from PHEV's, which is what the Ram 1500 REV is (a plug-in hybrid). Sure, they can chose to put it wherever they want, we know they have been rather inconsistent over the years with...
