Probably already known by some but going to make tracking the installs more difficult: NACS compatible v3 superchargers can look like and be numbered like v2 superchargers! (Stolen shamelessly from a Peter D on Discord.) Always interesting when Tesla makes Teslawatching more complex. -Crissa

Wow, that's some serious damage. I guess the aero cover being softer didn't help. Tesla will fix it, good on them being proactive. -Crissa

The weird cuts, the lack of seeing the 'other' camera in the shot... ...The fact that Cybertrucks only have TACC currently... And anyone wearing a headset like this would be straight up arrested. Supposedly some guy is driving his Cybertruck with the Apple Vision Pro and FSD. -Crissa

https://thedriven.io/2024/01/23/no-fuel-no-worries-remote-australian-roadhouse-runs-out-of-gas-but-still-charging-evs/ Kinda obvious, I suppose ^-^ -Crissa

Some interesting numbers here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S001346862301513X -Crissa

We assume they've sent out thousands of offers, and haven't yet filled out how many trucks they expect to finish by March. Let's see how that has shaken out compared to worries. There's no great way to cross-tab this, so I'm trying to keep it simple. You can change your answers at any time...

One of the things rumored about the original Cybertruck design is that it would have a double-layer battery in the long-range configuration. That's become more clear that it really was part of the original design, since they're missing the target by almost half! So, where would you put it...

I realized with the discussion today that my address seems to have been lost on my Tesla Account. So I added it back in. I have ordered things, so I know it was there before, but I am not sure when it got lost. People without addresses are being skipped. That seems certain. Don't know if...

Given that we have some prices now, and the rebate is going to come upfront next month... @Scott Beall suggested it. So let's poll! I know my situation has changed, but also, the price is higher than I can pay. I can only hope it comes down drastically. -Crissa

https://shop.nasaspaceflight.com/products/cybertruck-metal-print I don't know if you guys are interested in this sort of thing, but an NSF photographer got a very nice shot and put it in their print shop. -Crissa

Interestingly - since just Wednesday I checked and - the 4680 Model Y has been seemingly removed from the design studio. Either this means they know how to make the 4680 in the Long Range version or something's up as they ready the factory... -Crissa

https://www.notateslaapp.com/news/1559/tesla-adds-universal-wall-connector-with-magic-dock-type-solution This is pretty cool, and deals with compatibility with J-plugs in the box. I'm tempted to buy it. -Crissa

Reliability, cable weight, and the CCS protocol still are bugs to be worked out before the charging woes will be cleaned up. And perhaps more frustrating, that means even the Supercharger network is also going to have teething issues as they adapt to being compatible with more vehicles. Having...

The 'Cyber cell' is ready and meeting expectations. This is what they said on the earnings call. So... No more worrying about how they're going to reach 500 miles of range; they know the answer, even if we don't. Okay? -Crissa

https://wlos.com/news/local/solar-powered-travel-coast-rv-new-belgium-event-electric-trailer-asheville-tour# Sounds kinda interesting! I love me a little pop-up event. Solar and electric trailers often are a topic around here... -Crissa

We've had this argument a dozen times. Raising the price by $10K is only 14% for the Tri Motor, but it's 20% for the Dual. 3/Y prices are back to what they were when the Cybertruck was released. Performance would be the 500 mile range version, Standard would be the 300 mile one. So... Let's...

Very good news for Cybertruck. -Crissa

Pretty comprehensive, honestly. Probably a good one to show your spouse ^-^ -Crissa

https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/ford-survey-results-lightning-owners-use-their-trucks-differently-even-more-truck-stuff-than-ice-owners.14795/ Fascinating stuff! Apparently the average for those who sought out the electric F150 were far more active than the more common...
