If Elon's going to produce a Cybertruck with a 900v architecture he better have a plan to also charge at it's capacity. Both will most likely be released at the same time - kind of makes sense. Probably not till 2025, just guessing
That’s a big IF. Continuing that thought, IF the CT is supposed to be hitting the roads late this year, and IF the CT has 800-900v architecture, and next year and there is still not a single Tesla charger in the US capable of charging at that speed, there will be several unhappy CT buyers. So all or some of what he said is not true.

I don't think you understand what I mean by pumped and dumped. He specifically went online and used his massive following to drive up the price of a crypto that he himself was heavily invested in then sold after the price was high. The only other person to have done so was John McAfee and he wound up going to jail for it. If this behavior was with stocks instead of crypto it would have been textbook securities fraud and the SEC would have nailed his ass to a cross for it.

What Elon did was very illegal and underhanded.

Tesla introduced the Supercharger V4 stations, which can deliver up to 1 MW of power over a 900-volt connection - which is what the Cybertruck is believed to be using.

Was gone for a couple hours and have come back to name calling and still more scenarios from the land of what if.

Serious question………….When will EA announce that they will support the dreaded NACS connector? If they haven’t already. Most CPOs are already onboard.

i dont get all the Elon hate ... he's nuts for sure.. and overly optimistic.. but i dont think he spouts BS for the sake of making sales.. i think he truly believes most everything he says.. and he's accomplished in 12 years or so what nobody thought he would and has stated the whole time his goal is sustainability
It's because he no moral or ethical backbone.

He's not even paying twitters rent.

This entire discussion is because we went from what was known to what if?

We simply don't know how this whole thing will play out.

All we know is any hope to have a single charging standard is gone for at least awhile longer.

I don't think Elon ever took crypto seriously .. also there's no rules on crypto so who cares

Plus what does that have to do with charging standards

Because it shows the sort of dirty and underhanded shit he is capable of doing. This billionaire pumped a crypto and left a bunch of regular Joe's holding a bag of shit while he cashed out. A "trust me bro" from someone like that isn't worth a whole lot.

seems like a stretch to me... besides if the CEO of Ford or even Rivian for that matter turns out to be a scumbag that doesnt make the product less quality IMO

also.. newsflash.. doge was always a bag of shit

No it doesn't make the product less quality, but it also means I don't want to trust the guy at his word or get into business with him.

Did he lie about something? What word did he say about the supercharger network? And wouldn't it even be better to use even temporarily than not at all? There's like 100 things wrong with that logic all because people seem to have a personal vendetta against Elon.. I think what Volkswagen did with dieselgate was like the worst thing ever but I'll use an EA charger all day if it's even 2 cents cheaper than a supercharger

At this point I feel the momentum is so strong for NACS happening and taking over that it is pointless to argue about. The anti NACS people sound like the pro Apple CarPlay for Rivian In that they are not going to get their way no matter how much they talk about it here. Edit. And I get their fears but I think it is just about a done thing
We are not anti NACS people, we are anti monopolies. You are way behind my forum friend.
