If you don't like attention the Cybertruck was the wrong vehicle to purchase ;)

Starting to buy the dip.

Yes GM chose to lose money on each truck, Tesla chose not to.

Could be but it's likely to have much better sales than the X, which also had production struggles, and even Elon said it shouldn't have been made or something along those lines.

That's pretty much been every Tesla vehicle launch starting with the OG Roadster.

Slightly different income levels, probably.

Aaanndd here we go, under 200 AH

Might just be discoloration from the spot welding process.

Quarters are usually audio only.

I predict Elon will say something stupid and tank the stock price. Plus the usual "production is hard", "interest rates are high", "FSD coming soon, for real this time" ?‍♂️

It doesn't say "highway".

Because they aren't driving it like the EPA test cycle. EV's are highly sensitive to conditions and use cases, a simple fact that many people don't understand. Do 65mph in 70F weather on relatively flat roads and you'll probably get EPA range, maybe more.

It's certainly an extreme use profile but it also happens all the time when towing equipment. Towing a truck on a flatbed trailer is not really some exotic use case.

Also in the screen shot from Jerry Rigged which is also incorrect.

Except highway speeds take a greater hit from aerodynamic drag which increases with the square of speed. Most EV long distance records are set around 35 mph for this reason, you can double your range at that speed.

I'm not buying his critiques. From other replies:

This graph of the 800V Taycan charging compared to the 400V Model 3 makes my point, there isn't much advantage to doubling the voltage at peak power levels when the cell is the limiting factor. And the Taycan has a larger pack...

Yeah most articles don't know what they are talking about on that topic. It doesn't help that companies have been touting the higher voltage as the answer to charging speed. If that were true and the limit was not at the cell level then doubling the voltage would double the charge speed, but...

No. Twice as many cells in series means half as many in parallel so the current at the cell level remains the same at the same power level, i.e. kW. 800V at 200kW = 250 amps, 400V at 200kW = 500 amps, but the lower voltage pack has twice as many cells in parallel so the cell level C rate is...
