    Ford, GM, Rivian, Volvo/Polestar, and MB customers gain access to Tesla Supercharger network. Stellantis and Hyundai also in talks with Telsa

    It’s not ideal, but it should be a short term problem - Newer Supercharger cabinets will resolve this as they are rolled out. And yes, as Brovane points out the reality is for most Supercharger locations this won’t be a problem. There are a few extremely high demand locations in major travel...

    Only 31% of Americans want an EV or PHEV. What about you?

    I had two years of trip data recorded by an OBD device before my first EV purchase. My wife drove all over the NY/NJ/CT area visiting clients and even still the data said public charging would only be necessary 1-2 days a year. This has proven to be accurate, we almost never publicly charge...

    Almost certainly better - There are essentially no wear parts on the drivetrain of an EV. With the exception of some early failure batteries are expected to continue functioning at reduced storage capacity. The bulk industry experience on this is still ramping up, but early data suggests that...

    Not to mention that user serviceability will dramatically increase pack size and weight per kwh. All the casing, interfacing, additional cooling hardware, etc that would be needed to change from a monolithic traction battery to something that could be swapped by one person (think sub 50 lb...

    Only 31% of Americans want an EV or PHEV. What about you?

    Here’s the thing you are missing - That invoice is roughly the equivalent of putting a new crate motor in at a dealer. It’s the absolute most expensive way to fix the problem. The vast majority of EVs sold in the US are still under their original powertrain warranty due to the federally...

    Tesla Cybertruck

    It seems like they are going to offer Foundation Series trucks to everyone with a pre-order before they start making any cheaper models. I get why they’re doing it, but I think a significant portion if not the vast majority of reservations were in it for the cheap 500 mile range. I’d love to...

    Most of this stuff has direct applications to street cars. Things that make cars lighter, safer, and more efficient will continue to have value long after the motorsports world has moved on the next big advancement. Viper GTS

    I wouldn’t want to recommend they open a panel in a property they don’t own given their apparent comfort level with such things. However - Ten minutes with a hair dryer and access to the meters should easily answer this question. Viper GTS

    Only 31% of Americans want an EV or PHEV. What about you?

    There have been EVs like that, they just don’t sell well. Think the Focus EV and Mini SE. Part of what makes this difficult IMO is that the big motors and batteries needed to capture kinetic energy for efficiency sake also mean that you’re a large part of the way to a luxury vehicle (range and...

    Who gives a shit how long it takes to charge at home? I don't, I'm fucking asleep. This is the most ridiculous argument, time only has value if your time is involved. For normal residential use it almost always does not matter how long automatic processes take. I don't think about the charge...

    Tesla Cybertruck

    Well, this has aged poorly. They did a really good job not leaking all the stuff they have been working on. I was not expecting 48V accessory power, switchable 400/800V traction battery, or steer by wire. I also did not expect the ridiculously consistent performance across SoC, or Powershare. I...

    Tesla Cybertruck

    Definitely too late, being first to market with an EV truck + access to the supercharger network I 100% would have bought one. Now I have a Rivian, the supercharger network is about to be accessible by all of the EV truck competition, and Elon has gone batshit crazy. Cybertruck is the one EV...

    I am currently 100% BEV with three in the household. I will not consider anything other than BEVs for daily driver roles, and have been ICE free since last year. Zero regrets. The only thing with an ICE that tempts me right now is the E-ray, if I don’t end up buying one of these there’s a good...

    Bluntly? It’s fucking awesome. I can honestly say there is no other vehicle I would rather daily drive at any price point. It’s stupid fast, handles far better than it has any right to, it’s comfortable, has great headlights, isn’t absurdly large (navigates city center parking garages with no...

    After a decade of everyone resisting it’s amazing to see the industry shift this quickly to what is obviously the superior design. I’m a little bit annoyed to have just installed four J1772 chargers at my house, but overall this is really good for the industry and I will either buy new cables...

    Tesla Model Y

    The current pricing is just ridiculous. I’ll admit to being a little bit bitter for my 2022 purchase of a MYP @ ~$67k no tax rebate. At the time it was peak EV pricing and that was well below market value. I’m a little consoled by the fact that the newer cars are decontented vs ours, but it’s...

    Tesla Cybertruck

    Now that I have non Tesla EVs in my household I appreciate the Supercharger network even more. Particularly with the Rivian, charging on road trips is painful. It’s one thing in a car if you’re getting 150kw and that’s ~600 mph, but in the Rivian that’s ~300mph. And it tapers hard, by 80% it’s a...

    Oops! Biden's turn in the Classified Documents barrel.

    Anyone else think that tracking documents shouldn’t be the responsibility of the president? It doesn’t surprise me at all that ex presidents have detritus from their time in office, and IMO the fact that they have classified material after leaving office falls more on other people than on them...

    Seeking recommendations: a hybrid (gas+EV) mid-sized SUV

    While there may not be a financial case for new, cars have come an incredible way in the almost 30 years since your car was made. Modern headlights can be spectacular, particularly on models redesigned since IIHS started scoring them. Between that and modern safety structures, crash...

    Electric F-150 unveiled

    I’m really surprised you would be willing to go back to ICE. I do get the charging frustrations, my wife took our Rivian from New Jersey to central Ohio for a two week trip. Compared to the Tesla experience it’s the wild Wild West. She never failed to charge, but it definitely requires far more...

    This is a bulb/dimmer selection issue, there are lots of combos out there that can dim sub 10% and 3-4% territory or even lower is possible if you make your choices correctly. I just bought bulbs to replace everything in my new house, about half of them are these...

    Anyone try and buy a new car in the last couple of years?

    Because in the current EV demand environment combined with essentially no transaction costs (no sales tax here in New Jersey on electric vehicles) I can buy a car, drive it for a few months to a couple years, and then sell it for more than I paid for it. The goal is to get to the best possible...

    Anyone try and buy a new car in the last couple of years?

    I’ve bought four new cars this year and will likely buy a fifth. How? I reserved anything remotely interesting in the EV space. At one point I had a queue that was eight cars deep. If you aren’t doing this so that you or the people around you have purchasing options over the next year or two...

    Rivian discloses nearly $1 billion losses in IPO filing

    I have a Y performance as well, that plus the R1T is IMO the best two car, do everything, nobody has to drive a slow car pair on the market at price points us mortals can afford. The Rivian has a lot going for it, but it’s not perfect. I have a handful of build issues that need to be corrected...

    Fare thee well, Google Fi/Pixel

    I had a very long string of Nexus and Pixels until they didn’t put out a big Pixel 5. Ended up with an iPhone 12 Pro Max since I wanted a large phone. I gave Google another shot with the Pixel 6 Pro but the network connectivity issues were absolutely unacceptable. I run dual SIM Verizon +...

    Who here as made the leap to an EV?

    My 3 sold for more than I paid for it as well. Even counting a full wrap and two sets of wheels/tires my TCO was incredibly low for 2.5 years of ownership on a new car. My three month old Y is likely worth $10k or more in resale profit right now, not that I plan to sell it. What people don’t...

    Who here as made the leap to an EV?

    Speaking as someone who had to do it for a month and a half while waiting for my electrician to have availability, public charging sucks and I would not use it for my daily use even if it were free. It’s fine for out of the ordinary travel needs, but it’s dreadful to rely on that as your primary...

    Who here as made the leap to an EV?

    Generally speaking people aren’t stopping for 40 minutes. That would only be necessary in charging deserts (which absolutely exist, to be clear). If you’re using your battery correctly and arriving at DCFC locations at sub 10 percent SoC you can charge in excess of 1000 MPH and add significant...

    They aren’t going to get dramatically better any time soon, they’re just going to get cheaper.

    Who here as made the leap to an EV?

    I don’t think it’s going to be anywhere near as long as you think. Demand is there, capacity will resolve itself. Also if you still think battery replacements are a thing to worry about you haven’t been paying attention. Aside from Leafs, batteries have not been a big wear item for anyone. The...

    Who here as made the leap to an EV?

    In most states all you really need is enough solar to let you do time of use metering with near zero on peak use. Unless you have extremely expensive power or live in a state with SRECs to help the payoff you are going to have a hard time making the math work vs just buying off peak kWh. I have...

    Who here as made the leap to an EV?

    For anyone who has experienced ~3s in a Tesla you aren’t going to be impressed by Rivian. It’s impressive that it’s a truck doing it, of course, but their power delivery curve is not nearly as brutal as a performance Tesla. The one I drove was on all terrains so it’s possible some of its...

    Who here as made the leap to an EV?

    BEVs that you would actually want to own also have a battery cooling loop, but the maintenance interval is typically something like 150k. If you remove the frunk liner in most of them there’s a decent amount of complexity of cooling loops, heat exchangers, etc but they are still way less...

    Who here as made the leap to an EV?

    I’m 100% BEV right now with a MYP and a Mini Cooper SE. There’s a very real chance I will never own another ICE vehicle, though I am leaving a small window open for something like a C8Z. I definitely have no interest in ever owning another ICE daily driver, and this is not even really related to...

    What's your gasoline costing?

    There are new EVs available that can be had for less than half of the average new car transaction price if you live in the right state and make sufficiently little. How much cheaper do you want them to be? They’re capable of being cash flow positive for many people with long commutes today, and...

    What's your gasoline costing?

    I’m definitely feeling smug as fuck every time I drive by the gas station near my house. They were at $4.999 yesterday, and I’m sure other stations in town are higher. I sold my last ICE vehicle last week and am now 100% BEV, hence the smugness. I spent nearly $4400 on gasoline in 2019, less...
