The vehicle will go where you point the front wheels in all cases, resulting in traveling in a circle if the rear wheels are normal. In crab walk mode, the vehicle will go where you are pointing the front wheels and the rear wheels in unison, resulting in moving laterally in a straight line at...

Crab walking has all tires angled the same way—just like going forward normally—so there would be little or no scrubbing on the tires. In fact it would be easier on the tires compared to normal parking maneuvering.

We definitely noticed your rig when you were doing that long charge at the Yemassee SC Wendy’s. Very savvy how you pulled in laterally to the charger on the end! Was also very curious about the range, so thanks for the info. (We brought our Cybertruck down from NYC to Florida—with two large...

We were seeing around 3.2 miles per kWH last June (aka excellent weather) when driving around locally and non-urgently at 40 mph to 50 mph. (This implies over 380 miles of total range, which is quite all right by me.) The 4 in the snapshot is probably due to favorable rounding on both numbers...

Preconditioning costs money, and since you are across the street from the Supercharger rather than out on a road trip (which usually means that time is of the essence), just plan for a slightly-longer charge session at the Supercharger, and forget about preconditioning at home (and the time...

Put succinctly, the bigger battery of the CT results in a longer total charging time, whereas the higher energy consumption (per mile) of the CT results the miles of range building up more slowly.

And you can get an actual 120 kWH out of the AWD battery in any sort of decent weather, for a realistic 343 miles (not counting any emergency reserves; i.e., when the range hits 0 miles...). ((We use 400 wh/mi at or above 70 MPH (highway) in moderate winter so far, for about 300 miles of...

I refer to it as “range serenity”. Especially since our Cybertruck underpromises and overdelivers on the range estimate on long rides (whereas our Y did somewhat the opposite). And has considerably more real-world range than the Y did. And now that there are Superchargers very near or at all...

What I can say for sure is that it is a 6600 pound vehicle with a low center of gravity. It will automatically correct your driving errors (if you turn that feature on to the max) through its numerous driving cameras and fast/powerful processor and other self-driving features (lane assist...

We have made a 133 mile run on the Garden State Parkway repeatedly, to our little summer place, and reliably use 41% of charge in our CT. (Maybe 42% as things have gotten cooler…) This is a highway that runs 75 mph, plus or minus, much of the ride. This translates into using 68% of charge for...

The "flexible" one I have seems really physically tough, and has an IP68 true-waterproof rating, with the shading performance clearly not it's strong suit... Possibility of a ten-year warrantee on the BougeRV one. (I looked up the lifespan of ETFE material--the top layer--and was impressed to...

For this sort of application, which I also have in mind to do with our CT, I think I would be liking the 2024-released "Flexible" panels from BougeRV or Allpowers, because the physical characteristics are there (thin and not too heavy), some stiffness and ruggedness is there (ETFE and...

What interests me also is the tradeoff between speed of travel balanced against speed of charging to minimize overall trip time. For instance, if you go fast enough, you'll lose most or all of the time saved in going that fast in having to charge more often and/or charge longer. Perhaps there...
