Soviet cops would like to have a word. Having random agencies doing vigilanty enforcement of signage that they put in place for their own profit is corruption of the legal system.

Yeah I was reading this and really confused because I’m sure I’ve seen a number of YT videos of people charging with aftermarket adapters.

And Rivian. Tons of stories of Rivian owners using the A2Z adapter with pretty much zero issues.

Only manufacturer issued adapters will allow proper charging abilities

At least your truck “looks like the future” ... on a tow truck.

It’s the latter, and creates better sensationalized headlines. Many companies have loss leaders (mixed in with other profitable products of course) for a variety of reasons. In this industry it just so happens the halo products come out first with profitability the 2nd leg.

Is this amount lost on the incremental cost of producing an individual car or is this just if you include all of the sunk costs of R&D and investing in production facilities? Because it’s significant if it’s the former, but incredibly misleading if it’s the latter.

Yeah, and in Europe researchers found that when employees were given PHEV company cars they tended to run them almost exclusively on gas. So I agree that this assumption is suspect.

So you didn’t read my post

They still have all the problems of an ICE car, because they still contain an internal combustion engine. That said, those components are used less frequently than those on an ICE-only car.

The greener the grid gets, the better the BEV is for emissions

Did you notice 7 out of 12 in their list were pure EVs including #2 through #5.

...whew boy, imagine if we had vehicles with 18 wheels that weighed 35,000-80,000lbs...what a nightmare for road damage...the horror if such a vehicle existed.

In Elon’s defense, it’s good that you have to stop and charge the Cybertruck often, because that gives you time to wash off all the stains and fingerprints!

It’s no longer an exoskeleton anymore, though, is it? The panels aren’t structural members. Or at least, as far as I’ve read, it’s a standard unibody with stainless steel body panels.

It’s a record for EVs.

I read the word campsite. Did you sleep in the car with the air running? If not how did you survive being outside at those temperatures? I live in the Southeast and once it gets over 100° here pretty much any physical activity in the sun gets really unpleasant really fast. I've learned my limits but dehydration,…

Last weekend my wife and I drove from Las Vegas (115°) to Valley of Fire (119°), to Zion National Park (110°) in our 2023 Tesla Model Y Performance. While we had the AC blasting the whole time, our need to stop and charge each direction didn’t really change, and we were able to Charge at the campsite. In the V8 Jeep…

Ill never forget we got a day off of school because one of the employees at the Bus Depot forgot to plug in the engine block heaters on the buses.
