Deer have been instinctually programmed to escape from predators that tend to move at 25-30 mph. They can run towards the threat and change direction suddenly. The same strategies that work at 25-30 mph put them on a collision course with a vehicle moving at 40-65 mph.

I plugged into a Supercharger yesterday for the first time with my truck and it ramped immediately to 254 kW. But that doesn't give you much context because the efficiency of the vehicle will play into how much that gives you. In my case, it was 635 miles of range per hour. In 13 minutes it was...

He hasn't damaged the brand, he has actually expanded their addressable market by appealing to a wider customer base. They just reported record Q3 sales volume. That's a fact.

Are you joking? We have owned 5 EV's (still own 4 of them) and all of them can make a 200 mile round trip at 10F at 75 mph without a problem. Even the ones that are 6 years old and have 70K-110K miles on the odometer. None of them were made by Lucid.

How can a 30-amp and a 60-amp connector "pop" a 100-amp breaker? Are there other circuits on the same panel?

Do you have a source for that (Lectron making some of the adapters)?

That's why it's especially important to avoid very low pressures with a heavy vehicle. Because a heavy vehicle causes more flexing of the tire's carcass, at any given pressure, than a lighter vehicle with the same size tires.

GM EVs have access to almost 18,000 Tesla Superchargers using an adapter. This does not include ALL Tesla Superchargers, but most Ver. 3 and Version 4 Superchargers work with GM vehicles if you have an adapter. They are NOT all Magic Dock sites. I don't know what's wrong with this forum, but...

It looks like this expansion is driven by federal NEVI funding. Does anyone else think it's kind of weird that the federal government is now funding EV charging when the most reliable and ubiquitous network was built using all private money? I think the government is pretty late to the party...

All cars with a membership get the same rate. The only difference is you get a free lifetime membership with the Tesla, while a non-Tesla has to pay for the membership.

Yes, agree, I didn't mean to imply that I would rather drive a gas car across the country, I wouldn't! But I've never used a charge adapter in my life, besides the free one that came in all my EVs. I was just surprised at how expensive they are.

The people of this forum deserve the truth, not deception. People want to leave here knowing more than they knew before they arrived, not go away brainwashed. Clearly Musk was only addressing the ultra-hard cold rolled stainless steel as he demonstrated it resisting a bullet using a...

This^^. I lived with a manual tonneau cover (BakFlip) on my F-150 for 14 years before discovering how nice a powered tonneau cover was. I could never go back to not having one.

Not only are EV sales still increasing, Tesla is on track to sell more EVs in 2024 than they did in their previous record-breaking year of 2023. It seems some people have been putting too much credence in mainstream media reports about EV sales. Yes, the growth rate has slowed while total...

And this is why we have threads like this. People just want to confirm their own biases, and disguise it as humor. They can't handle an electric truck that stomps their personal favorite in almost every single metric that can be objectively measured.

My Cybertruck Laugh of the Day are all the people who thought Tesla said the glass was bulletproof. So gullible to Mainstream Media fantasies. Tesla never said the glass was supposed to be bullet proof. It is tougher than normal auto glass, it takes a lot more impact to break it compared to...

First and foremost, a working charger.

I had no idea people were spending so much money on charge adapters for their EVs! You could buy enough gas to drive all the way across the country with $290!

The Model Y has had a plunge in sales? Then why is it still outselling the second and third most popular cars in the world in 2024 (up to August), the Toyota Corolla and Rav4? You speak as if it's a bad thing to be outselling every other car in the world. And it's a pure BEV that is doing that...

If they break something while fixing the loud AC, they will have to fix it.
