Something I did not know: https://jabberwocking.com/chart-of-the-day-the-great-texas-power-rip-off/ The customers forced to choose a retail utility consistently pay more than the ones on a traditional utility. Now, some of this may be like Austin customers who are opting for a higher solar...

https://www.wired.com/story/the-race-to-crack-battery-recycling-before-its-too-late/ A short article of each of the general recyling tech pursued by the big names, which you may know or not. Misses the safety reasons why batteries are glued together, and basically glosses over use as static...

And his cat, Bucket. -20% range, cabin temp 70-70F. Man, I'd never keep it that warm. I wish my cat was that chill in the car. Sometimes she is. -Crissa

This guy's series is super-deep, but this one is pretty useful about battery day announcements and what they meant... and mistakes often made. -Crissa

News reports say some of the newest Teslas are having trouble in the cold this year. Since this is the first year/models to have this issue, and we have no reporting on what the specific issue is... She covers how different heating systems work in EVs, plus mentiins where fuel-burners fit into...

To mention how few Teslas were sold in Australia and not mention the massive price difference and luxury tax that American cars have to face there? And on the year that Tesla sold half a million cars, even. Man. Certainly tough to see your favorite be so wrong, and worse, to be arguing so...

A smaller truck has to make compromises somewhere. The weight is the sticking point, but width and length are, too. So just considering length... Which of these can't you compromise with? -Crissa

We've talked about this before: That the super-hard stainless steel will, in fact, crumple. The forces in a collision are many, many times more than a sledgehammer can put out. Now, everyone remembers the steel for the Cybertruck uses the same steel as in the Starship from SpaceX, right...

Ignoring that this is a truck forum and we're going to be doing things that obviously need more range: Hauling heavy things up mountains, into the wilds, and/or towing awkward things that just can't be aeroshelled. That's why the Cybertruck will be getting the big batteries. A German poll...

He's a little ignorant of how government works. Like, if you dislike the DMV, vote in legislators that will fix it (in other words, not anti-tax libertarians). Aside from that, very interesting interview. I like his view of corporations, for instance. -Crissa

Aptera! Hard to say more, as a little runabout, this is the way to do it. It should get better miles per watt hour than my motorcycle! https://www.aptera.us/ -Crissa

Lots of you guys have been wondering about general Tesla owning stuff, and this seems reasonable. Clarkson is a bit of a git, but he does tend to make approachable and fun reviews. Side note: Never do anything he suggests! If you do, he'll just say no one should be doing what a clown does...

My home's location precludes a large solar or even small wind installation. We have a tiny amount of camping solar but not enough to charge more than our 12v devices. So we depend upon our electric utility and truck in propane a few times a year. This is my power company...

Lots of questions here that are way above my ability to speak in French. I can order/serve food and that's about it. Can someone else take a crack at it? Google Translate handled it pretty well, but I never know they other way around. -Crissa

Need a bit more than big tires and AWD to stay on the road in snow. Hehe. Like, not going faster than you can stop. -Crissa

"Would you choose between a phone that last a day or one that lasts all week... If you had to go to the shop to charge it?" -Crissa

Lots of questions left unanswered. If they're shipping, why do we know nothing about their motors? Who would buy a truck without any information? And while they're side-stepping onto the stock market, too. Compared to the Cybertruck, which they say they'll beat to market, their details are...
