Because what Truck Yeah drivers care about is safety and pedestrians.

Weird guy posting photo every time about “weird nerds” in Musk threads is weird.

The PHEV range will almost eliminate at least one of those legs in terms of gas.

It is absolutely selfish and irresponsible to have that big of a daily commute and dump that much carbon into the air.

But... you live in Indiana, so there’s almost 80% chance you voted for the cheeto and this is pointless.

A 100 mile PHEV is the rural use case for the near future. It will still handle 80% of dailies on all-electric, and can bridge the range anxiety and inevitable delay in rural recharging infrastructure.

I agree the EV market needs a lot o f simple, plain execution like this, but it’s not like they are pushing the envelope so far.

Hate Tesla all you want, they are still pushing the industry envelope with unibody casting machines, integrated frame battery, lithium supply chain, battery cell packaging, battery…

Dealers are actively disincentivized to sell the products they represent. They are incentivized to sell used cars and car repair.

300 mile range, is that WLTP, which is, what, 30-50% worse in measuring real world than the EPA?

The efficiency / 100km is almost twice as bad as the Model 3. Hm, the Model S is 18 though, and the X is 20.8. Yet those have better range on the EPA.

The numbers on new EVs are bull until the released product is tested. 

Your logic would make sense if Hydrogen was chasing a static target.

But like new nuclear designs trying to compete against green energy, hydrogen is chasing a technology that is in the prime part of economies of scale and refinement/improvement, where the cost/performance parts of the equation improve at 10%+ per…

How will someone with an ICE car refuel if they don’t have a home pump?

How can this article be written without some indication on mileage limits? There has to be some.

It’s probably about the same. If it leads to a better access to EVs and cycling out of ICEs faster (which is debatable since this is just a small step before getting cycled out to fleet sales and used cars) its a good thing.

Reducing environmental impact with a chinese factory?

Yeah, that’s called outsourcing pollution. Environmental damage arbitrage.

Yes they are making EVs there, which is fantastic. Yes Tesla has a factory in China, along with all the other major companies.

But that quote is pure bullshit, greater bullshit than this site…

Big Oil and Big Car have a trillion dollar liability floating in the air. And they will do their damndest to avoid it.

The fact that any story like this gets major press is shocking in our controlled media environment that is terrified of angering big-money commercial ad buyers.

Well, I certainly don’t trust anything your neanderthal brain craps on this site.

The heaviest posters on all environmental and Tesla stories are assholes like this guy and the SBA: Bullshit Yet Again hydrogen/oil/gas astroturfer.

The site gets paid to let these guys pollute the comments / “influence”. I guarantee it.

Where is SBA Big Hydrogen Astroturfer propounding the benefits and (theoretical) superiority of a hydrogen car? Is that only true of Tesla and the Cybertruck?

Where is SBA Santa Barbara Astroturfer snarking about offsets for EV manufacture used by GM, and how that is a fool’s accounting?

Is that only for Tesla?

Where is SBA Santa Barbara Astroturfer whining about the impracticality of EVs? I guess they are only impractical if they are Tesla.

He’s a big hydrogen/big oil astroturfer. SBA stands for Santa Barbara Astroturfer.

But those are all non-superficial flaws. Those don’t tweet well.
