Well he said “Current 4680s”, sure in the future you can have any sort of thing in the 4680 package. It’s sort of akin to “AA Cell batteries”

This may be a big part of why no 500 mile at launch. Tesla is still making baby steps as a battery company.

I’ve been hearing rumblings around this 100 kWh/ 350 mile pack size. If they can pull that off it would be a huge win. Given the current predictions for Q4 cell production, that would be around 10,000 trucks for the 4th quarter and quite a few more for the 1st quarter 2024. The 500 mile range...

On the earnings call Tesla mentioned the new 4680 “CyberCell” will have 10% higher energy density. I need to listen to the whole thing, but they called it the CyberCell. Seems like a not so subtle hint.

Oh.. I do think it needs fixed 110v plugs too. But you don’t need 15 outlets in use while in motion.

Oddball thought. Instead of having a bank of outlets inside the bed, what if the Cybertruck comes with or has an optional dongle that comes out of the NACS port. Similar but much more capable than the one on the Hyundai.

Well you do @mention him a lot… mom, mom, mom, mom…. I’m just sayin…

I was not trying to twist anything you said. I see where you get that idea though. Wasn’t my intent. Edit: Eh. Retrospect. Sorry if the edit crosses another post.

Forgive me, maybe I missed a post where the top poster said they run a business with multiple trucks. Thought I was clear that I was talking about the general case not fleets or heavy users. He did say “home use” in the top post.

I haven’t said anything different from first post to last and you’ve thrown up silly objections all along the way and I’m being an ass?

This is why I laid out exactly what circumstances the current chargers will work well for and said explicitly that some people who drive a lot might need more. Suggesting everyone needs to provision 100a service is silly when realistically only a small number of people will need that capacity...

I lived for a 18 months with just the mobile connector and 120v. We drive a pretty typical amount, roughly 20k miles per year. It was largely tolerable, but definitely frustrating on occasion. That connection got me a 5 MPH charge rate and it was livable. The Cybertruck charging off the 48 amps...

I’m sure you *can*. It will probably be 2 miles per hour, but you can. Get a heavy duty extension cord, they make them with 10 gauge wire. Hard to fine but they are out there.

Most homes have 200 amp service. ‘’Cybertruck doesn’t need 100 amp charging. I did _ok_ charging with just 120v for a long time. Cybertruck will be fine with 220v and 60 amps.

It doesn’t matter what the range of the EV is. What matters is how much power you consume on a nightly basis. The number of people who need 250 miles of range every single night is exceedingly small. The people who need that kind of charging know they need it and will buy it. Unless you are...

The existing charger will add about 25 miles per hour of charging to the Cybertruck. With 10 hours charging, that’s 250 miles per day. Do you frequently drive more than 250 miles on back to back days coming home each time? (Or 100+ miles towing) Some people might need more than what the current...

Highly unlikely Tesla will release a faster charger for home use. There is little to no reason for it. 48 amps (actual) is plenty for overnight charging for all but the most extreme cases. A lot (maybe a majority?) of homes would struggle with adding an extra 100 amp service which further...

Get the Tesla Wall Connector, easy choice. It’s the best price and the best product.

After 30 years of operation, most gas stations have quite a supply of “regular-unleaded” in the soil beneath.

Running your house off of a giant frozen battery is going to seriously affect run time.
