There is one extremely good reason to offer a "standard range" vehicle: it allows them to build more trucks. With battery capacity running around 80,000 kwh a week, a 450 mile Silverado competitor means building 450 trucks a week. The 300 mile lightning competitor means building 600 a week. Even...

Assume it will be the same as a similarly priced F150 or Silverado. Until they have better data, insurance companies will assume an average loss rate and cost of repair so as not to push customers into the arms of Tesla insurance or other competitors. By ~Jan 2025 it will adjust to a more...

The R1T is not Rivian's primary product. 70% of sales and orders are the R1S. The R1T is not its primary segment. For the small-footprint pickup market (214 inches long), the R1T is distinctive versus the full-sized electric pickups like the lightning at 233 inches. CT may split the...

Its Stellantis. Nobody cares. :ROFLMAO:

And it is over. Good news all around https://insideevs.com/news/689976/hyundai-use-tesla-nacs-connector-us-starting-2024/

Wait, wait, wait. I have never paid much attention to the twiXer cesspool, but are you saying you get paid for writing stupid cr@p on there? Because I can come up with some stupid cr@p about the CyberTruck.... and lots of other stuff people seem to care about if there is money in it. SRSLY.

From the video on Teslarati, looking at the test vehicle. The official eye calibration says 2.5 mm.

was going to make a joke about "mm => micrometers" in elon speak, but looking at the photo more carefully, this looks like a pretty thick panel at least from this angle

Have we seen this one already? https://videopress.com/v/XjTZJfgL It is too much fun and the little kid is priceless.

Nice to hear explicit re-confirmation that Cybertruck is going to be an 800V+ system.

We have a new model s and it sounds the same. It is the Tesla version of the NHTSA-required low speed audible warning.

Yeah I regret and apologize for using the "i" word even though it was directed at no one here, I still shouldn't have written that. It is astonishing that these widely varied sources are making the same basic error. I can most helpfully point to the year-by-year sales data posted earlier and...

One other point that may help: • The US has 283 million light duty vehicles on the road. • Over the past 19 years (2004 through 2022) there were 290.110 million vehicles sold.

What I said was that a new vehicle put on the road will last, on average, ~24 years unless it is lost to accident. The US data all support this as follows: • The US has 283 million light duty vehicles on the road this is the fleet. • The average (mean) age of the Vehicles in Operation is 12.2...

Oh my goodness. First the "no offense" comment was directed at @CyberGus who was just posting an article. The comment is absolutely intended to cause offense to the author of the article who is misreading or misrepresenting the data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. There average age...

You are correct and we are saying the exact same thing. The Bureau of Transportation Statistics data he quotes is for the average age of a vehicle on the road which is currently 12 years.

No offense but the author here is an idiot. He is misreading the BTS statistics that say the average AGE of a vehicle on the road is 11.8 years (in 2020). If the average age of a vehicle on the road is 11 years, they obviously need to last twice that long, right? If the typical vehicle only...

And you could lay down those front seats and it was more or less a queen bed. (I wonder if that has something to do with teen pregnancy rates being down by more than two thirds. Maybe smaller cars are good.. Hmm....)

Actually, let me correct the record on this very common misconception. The typical car will remain on the road for 24 years or more unless it is lost to an accident. The average age of all vehicles on the road is over 12 years old (see this link). In order to get an average of 12 years you need...

All this whining about size. The Cybertruck is smaller than a two door coupe from back in the day. The 1974 Buick Electra 225 Coupe was 232" long and 80" wide. When did America become so size averse?
