I vote to put Kyle in charge of all EV range estimates. Think he could make a full-time job out of it.

After hearing this news...... may wait for them to get the batteries working right, with some extra range, thank you. So, does this mean that FS Editions might stand for "Flawed Batteries and Short-Range"?

They probably don't want people to sit in it and fart in the seats,

Yeah, I still want one too! I'll just be plugging it in every (or every other) night. But most of us probably have no problem with that, or we plug in every day anyways. It's only an issue for longer trips. Hopefully everybody who wants one has another vehicle in the family that can do the...

You're not going to get "likely 250 + or - 20 miles between charges". You would have to charge to 100%, which is not recommended. For daily charging 80%, or so, is recommended. With ICE vehicles, like your VW GTI, you just fill up the tank till it's full. Secondly, with electric cars...

Only Tesla we've owned that got close to what they said it was rated at, was our early M3 Long Range. We got about 300 real miles on a full charge, when we needed it. Probably because we didn't have a second motor sucking out all the extra juice. I loved that car!

Think of it like a Hybrid!

Good news is you can easily put a gas or diesel generator in the vault and you'll never be totally stranded.

Of course, that's another added aftermarket expense. Between installing PPF, new rims and tires for better range, etc..... it's getting more expensive.....

Might be a lot better with different tires? Seems like the tires it comes with would zap some range off, right? Looks like the type of tires made a pretty big difference with the above Rivian 70 MPG range test....

I kinda figured it would not be anywhere near the claimed 318 Miles. So, at 254 miles of max range, that's about 178 miles of usable range if you set to charge to 80% and then try not to run it down lower than 10%. Wonder how much worse the Cyberbeast will do?

Great video!

Good question....... I'm a little further down the list than you, at about 200K, and I'll be happy to see some objective reviews first. Unfortunately I also need more time to convince the wife, because she's not sold on the looks yet. She told me (hopefully jokingly) that if I bought one, I'd...

"Limited Edition" = Limited to as many suckers are willing to pay an extra 20K and give up any hope of receiving an additional $7,500 subsidy.

That reason makes the most sense.

They keep it roped-off to protect it from fingerprints and bullets.

As I'm not planning to wrap mine when I get it, thinking I may need to invest in getting one of these "red velvet rope-off/pole set" accessory options. Hopefully Tesla will offer it as a premium upgrade. Will store it in the frunk and park strategically in spots where there's plenty of room to...

They should just put wrapped ones in showrooms if the fingerprints are the main issue. Plus it might sell the factory wrap upgrade.... silly to rope them off.

A good rubber bed mat helps keep many things from slip-sliding all around.

Probably going to take at least two cans of Bondo to fix it.
