Yeah you know like they promised the Cybertruck prices back in 2019. I can clearly recall Elon saying "I promise you these are the prices ... scouts honor" . /s
There is a Nova Scotia couple with a small youtube channel towing a Airstream with the Silverado EV. Mixed results in that COLD climate and many charging nightmare stories.
I rented A Silverado Work Truck with large battery for a week last year (actually late fall of 2024). I had never driven the Cybertruck so I almost bought the Silverado EV several times in the past year and a half. It was comfortable with good range but slow CCS crap charging and drove like the...
On crap roads my 2018 MX, 2021 & 2025 MY's were shake, rattle and blow (wind noise). The 2026 Cybertruck is silent, composed and smooth with a barely audible but nice spaceship whirring sound when accelerating.
My wifes 2024 Highland Model 3 and I assume the Juniper Model Y's are pretty good...
Ahh yes the oft used "eventually" . You realize it is the charging curve that matters, right? If max input only happens at a very low state of charge and then only for a minute or two ... whats the point?
How about shoot for 10-80% in less than 20 minutes?
The Cybertruck isn't the first vehicle to be truly polarizing. The Prius held the title for a good long time but the Cybertruck now assumes the mantle. It gets nut jobs from the left and right taking their ill defined grievances out on an inanimate object that happens to be a prime example of...
If this is the Danville CA case, these kids were joyriding the family Cyberbeast going 100mph in town. The truck jumped a curb, hit a wall then wedged between the wall and a tree. It was so destroyed it's unlikely the doors could be opened manually anyway. It was of course a tragedy but the kid...
Sign reading is one of the most difficult edge cases due to a lack of standards for road signs. That said, FSD gets better with each software update so it will eventually be solved. Like you, when my butts in the drivers seat I am taking responsibility for my vehicle and any actions it takes. In...
You are of course correct and like many things, no easy answers. If Attorneys gain nothing from unsuccessful lawsuits we should see the numbers of civil out of court settlements drop precipitously. These payoff settlements are how many PI lawyers make a living, not by going to court and winning...
If you really want to discourage all this unnecessary litigation, something where the attorneys have to forfeit any collected fees if they lose the case would, as we like to say out here in the wild west ... geterdone.
Tesla has all the data. The PI lawyer knows nothing about the massive amount of telemetry data that is kept by the vehicle but he's hoping for a large enough "settlement" from Tesla to just make specious claims like this go away. I hope Tesla fights it but even if they win in court, the FUD...
That is concerning but I just got fed up with Tesla Insurance. They kept my sold Model X (removed it from the APP) on my policy for a year before I finally got it cancelled. I made several email requests for a refund but emails never got a reply. No humans to talk to unless you're willing to...
