reasons for not opening new bauxite mines in Virginia, Mississippi, Texas, and Oregon are environmental issues, competition from imports, low grade ore, or high costs. just grok it.
problem is environmentalist are preventing USA from mining, they would rather have other countries strip mining and using children as workers, than ethically producing in USA.
Tesla is only company that makes a profit selling EV's, they sell more EV's than all other EV's combined. so it appears...
I have 60kwh of battery in the house. never had a problem using the trucks as power supply. I have app for inverter which tells me when state of charge is low. so I have time to plug in. biggest issue is plugs in truck need to be turned on and Ford has to be running. Tesla just has to have plugs...
I live off grid so only solar and batteries. I can use my electric trucks to power the house and charge the batteries during long periods without sun. we have a 6kwh charge point charger in town that cost $.25 a kwh. the lightning and Cybertruck can be plugged directly into my EG4 inverter...
for me it will start charging when it is set to be not be charging. like at 2am it always starts at that time. my charge time is 11AM - 6PM, set to charge when sun is out and I have excess power. it does not always start when it should start. also will charge beyond the max charge level set in...
actually send updates that make vehicle better
fix charging software
dog mode
camp mode
how about some real off road software, instead of turning off one pedal driving and activating rear diff lock.
only way to lower price is to change the way the vehicle is manufactured. they will need to go the way of Tesla and use gigapress and less parts. also need to get rid of all the third party parts that require a extra computer to interpret third party software and make all the parts work...
the tank on generators is only 1-2 gallons so not likely to much range unless you want to stop at gas station every 15 miles or add another gas tank which would be illegal to drive on road in most states. I owned a BMW with range extender and could only get 30-50 miles on gas engine. and it had...
this is a bad idea. making the vehicle drive while charging will allow the vehicle to move while at a DCFC charge station. which will lead to someone forgetting to unplug and causing damage to vehicle and charge station and lead to fires and electrocution.
it appears they are making more and more options to deliver just to get people to drop a deposit. this makes it all appear to be a pipe dream. all while they are going thru another diesel gate. is this a way to get an interest free loan from the public? this truck will be $80,000+ if it goes on...
it also came with free FSD and premium connectivity for life. software is so much better than Ford and more charging options around me. plug and charge is like 3 second handshake and charging starts. plug is smaller and lighter for my wife to use. the Tesla has a lot of off-road settings along...
I hate 2 pedal driving so much easier to 1 pedal drive. been 1 pedal driving since BMW I3 rex was released and I bought one for my wife to go to work, about 3 miles to airport from our house and free charging in her parking lot. always forget to brake when driving my 911.
I have to open the chaRGE station and change it manually with the internal switch. so I just set it to the lowest setting and charge it slowly. this has made my choice of Tesla Cybertruck so much easier, also free supercharging for life made me get the cybertruck. will give e the lightning to...
