CCS1 cables are about one full banana width, where Supercharger V3 cables if I recall are something like 3/4 banana width, where an at-home Tesla Gen3 Wall Connector (level 2 charger) is about 1/2 banana width, close to your thumb. As opposed to a desktop computer power cable which is like 1/4 banana width

And make sure it’s not just the white paint covered in a thin layer of snow belt road slime :-)

and EVs over 2,000 kilograms (4,409 pounds)

You’re almost always seeing the dark silver/gray

Tesla Supercharger cords are only about 6 feet long, so that comes out to $5.40 using your math, though they are also very thin cables. Including the rubberized coating, and I think they even contain liquid cooling, the newer ones are maybe thinner than your typical sausage (“Americans will use anything to measure but…

FSD isn’t part of the equation here, that’s the point. It was either the guy driving with his knees or somebody else in the car, something you can do in any car. TikTok stunters will be stupid at any costs

Yeah, props for trying I guess. Things are much better these days, Ford Maverick 2.5L hybrid gets 37 mpg, compared to the 2.0L has which has 26.

Here you go, all 5.3L across the board. 1 MPG gain for hybrid depending on drive wheels.

But in which case, it could be done in literally any car, like a 1994 Toyota Camry. It’s just the fact that it’s a Cybertruck that catches extra media attention and provides an outlet for rampant misinformation like this article’s no-questions-asked statement that it was on FSD Beta.

Or there could have been a bug found in testing last minute once it was too late to push the release date again. I have a 2018 Model 3, and I didn’t have FM radio until at least a few weeks after I took delivery.

‘Modest gains’ was even pushing it. Up to 1 mpg difference in city driving.

Except Cybertruck does not have those features yet, just ordinary radar cruise control. So he’s just driving with his knees to do the stunt, which could be done in any other car

The one thing we do know is that it was staged. Because first of all, Tesla Cybertruck doesn’t have Autopilot yet (coming soon in a software update, it launched without it). So he was either driving with his knees or had a passenger crouched down holding the wheel.

Don’t forget there’s a large sub-trunk and a frunk, both of which can fit a suitcase

In my case, the ignition was still running and everything else was working fine, it was just the power assist to the steering. I drove about 3 more miles home from where it went out, before driving back to the dealership. I also owned two 1980s Fieros at the time, neither of which had power steering, so while it was a…

Power steering and steer-by-wire are entirely different technologies, so I wouldn’t be concerned that there’s overlap

Just looked it up: Astra Sports Tourer has up to 58 cubic feet (according to Car Magazine UK), and Model Y has 76 cubic feet.

There are a few EVs with relatively the same acceleration, especially when you’re not on a prepped surface with drag tires, and having to nail the perfect launch (more more difficult in an internal combustion engine vehicle than in an EV). Tesla Model S Plaid would probably beat it on normal roads at a traffic light…

Was rat hole just pareidolia of a random hole?

This happened to my 2007 Pontiac G5 back in the day. Happened mid-corner, suddenly it got REAL heavy. No incident occurred, car was still drivable when moving, you just couldn’t easily turn the wheel when stopped. It ended up being a pinched wiring harness with a loose connection if I recall, and was fixed under…
