I think there is a good chance Cybertruck will last 2x longer than a similar gas or diesel. The trimotor is a beast as well, so you get more truck vs anything you can compare it too .. and you have to give it some value for that. My math shows a savings in fuel and operating at over $50,000...
I guess you didnāt read the analysis on this. The fire department put the fire out in 2-3 minutes then simply monitored the site to douse hot hots after that. Basically some bad actors blew up a tragic accident into a Tesla story. The car was not self driving and could not have been self...
Or maybe it will use facial recognition. I would think eliminating the handle would reduce this issue since the mechanism would not be exposed to the ice. I guess we will see.
Iām going to jump on you over your tribal comment. Please just stop it. Tribalism has to go. Focus on the issue. How do we appropriately tax to support infrastructure. We need evidence-based and rational thought .. not tribal BS. Sorry for the rant but our country is dying over this BS.
A good rule is 1/3 the cost of gasoline if you are refuelling at home. Solar is a separate issue entirely and the economics depends on your site (orientation, shading, structure) and local utility rates and rules.
I have a rather different take. I have always owned trucks btw.
1. The competitionās trucks by 2022 are more expensive by far and less capable, and the sweet spot in the truck market is 6.5 foot box crew-cabs. Exactly what CT is and the competition isnāt.
2. World economy. During a...
500 miles is already awesome .. 560 is just icing on the cake. Iām sure Tesla could go higher yet, but why? At some point it makes more sense to pump out more trucks instead of increasing battery size further.
I agree. The gas-heads probably donāt even realize what they are missing. If I wanted an off-road dedicated truck, and value wasnāt an issue, Iād buy a Hummer over the Rivian. If I wanted a capable all-around EV truck, Cybertruck is the only choice.
Noise is inefficiency and it is annoying. Why would anyone want to annoy the people around them .. other people certainly do not want to hear you āroarā .. beyond what is required for safety of course.
Agree 100% .. my expectation is Tesla releases a few different batteries. The new leaked batteries are likely just for Semi and Plaid cars. M3/Y will get Lithium iron cells with a million mile duty cycle maybe and a price drop once implemented ... or something like that.
In my experience, it is people who do not have much experience with EVs that are worried about range, refuelling, etc., Sounds like you want to gain some experience .. so that is awesome. I think once you experience the EV lifestyle you will have more confidence in Cybertruck meeting your...
50 amp breaker, 40 amp charging should be fine. I installed 80 amps for my MS, but never use it at 80 amps .. no need. Tesla wall chargers are nice and not expensive ... installed It myself and saved a lot!
I see little value in a spare since tires are so good nowadays. I drive a lot .. 2X the national average ... and Iāve had just 2 tire issues in the past 30 years. Iām fine without.
No question Cybertruck will tow. With 1000 est HP & torque the only question is range. The key advantage to EVs is lower costs and longevity. Cybertruck will cut fuel costs by 2/3, will be much lower in repairs and maintenance, and will likely last 3X longer. While an ICE will likely tow a...
