I presume you are wondering why your hard work isn't leading you on a path to great wealth? I see five late model and rather expensive cars listed in your profile. I didn't buy a new car until I could pay cash and that cash was only around 1% of my liquid assets. Remember, I said wealth comes...

It's for all the people with fingerprintphobia! :ROFLMAO:

That's why over 99% of Ford Lightning buyers didn't wire their houses for emergency backup power. The extra utility during power outages apparently is not worth the $12-$15,000 cost of equipping your house to use another power source. The people who did pulled out a lot of hair getting it work...

I don't see that there is anything to reverse engineer here. The outlet provides 40 amps of 240 volt service.

Assuming it ever comes to market, it would probably be under 400 lbs. That would still leave over a ton of payload. But I have my doubts that this thing makes sense, for enough owners, for Tesla to actually bring it to market. Time will tell.

Even if it did come to market, and that is far from certain, it would have a very small market in the real world. Part of me wonders if Tesla is not claiming 2025 availability to give new owners time to put the 340 mile range version through it's paces without the range extender and familiarize...

So, buy another car!

Agreed. The range extender does not seem like a solution that will add value for most owners. I wouldn't use the term "urban" to describe areas that have access to charging. Most trucks are driven daily, from home or work, to the necessary jobs/errands/deliveries, etc. and back home. Even very...

Why? Your profile says you drive a Long-Range Model 3.

Can you rationally explain how it makes sense to accuse Ford of "gouging" buyers of the Lightning when they are selling it for far below their cost produce? Sure, I understand it's because Ford has inefficient supply chains, manufacturing and distribution, but I would just call that general...

This is a good call. I'm probably more interested in the ever-increasing density of the Supercharging network than I am in "range extenders". Having driven pure electric cars for 5 years, and with 100% of my non-flying travel of more than the range of our EVs performed using the Supercharger...

That's not a bad idea because it would make most people realize they simply don't need more range than 5 hours on the Interstate because Superchargers dot the country and they charge really fast. Oh, wait, I almost forgot, everybody needs to tow gargantuan 5th wheelers from coast to coast, what...

The adjustable suspension and the powered tonneau cover you can stand on both have too much functionality for me to give up. The adjustable suspension height adds a considerable amount of range by allowing the truck to hunker down on the highway. It also makes loading/unloading of heavy items...

In the past, Tesla has liked to make all the cars the same. I think most options will be the kind that you can order after vehicle purchase. Of course wheels would have to be part of the purchase. That said, the base wheels on a Tesla are often the best ones for multiple reasons. It's not like...

My wife just pulled up the Live Cybertruck Event on X.com. The video looks great, no stuttering, hi-rez, and it's playing on our big screen TV (that we rarely watch).

Your numbers don't prove what you think they do. If you go purely by numbers, the most likely way to become wealthy is to be born with a silver spoon in your mouth. I was not, and I realized at a young age that I could complain about how unfair it was, or do something about it. I was realistic...

You are holding on to a self-defeating narritive. If becoming wealthy is "luck" then there is no reason to try. The fact that 40% try to become wealthy and only 1 to 2 out of 10 succeed, does not imply luck. It really is a matter of discipline and hard work and not many are willing to put in...

Becoming wealthy is a matter of discipline and work, not brilliance or luck (unless you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth).

I always vote for the location in my carport. Kidding, but it is very convenient. Tesla has been trying to get a Supercharger in Kalispell, MT for over 4 or 5 years but they keep getting foiled. I used to live in Whitefish, MT and can tell you the local auto dealers back then were the kings of...

Yes, and thinking like that tells me you may never become rich. People become wealthy by optimizing their financials starting at a young age. That means not paying a high price for things with limited benefit.
