    GMC Hummer EV

    You are kidding, I hope. Having driven F-350s for many years, I would LOVE to have that crab walk feature! The same mechanism that allows the crab walk allows for a MUCH tighter turning radius. Small parking lots are the bane to long trucks...

    Why Tesla’s Battery Day Will Actually Live Up to the Hype

    I know I await. But, when the dust clears, the only two questions that I hope get answered are: How does this affect my Cybertruck? and How does this affect my stock? Yeah, selfish me. I should wonder how this will affect the electric vs. gas proposition... will electrics finally be cheaper...

    5:1 Tesla stock split

    Well, if you bought Tesla stock, you may earn enough on it to get your Cybertruck without having to put out any more money... Or, since you already have all the money you'll need, you could donate to some charity or research effort...

    Lucid Air EV Has a Projected 517 Miles of Range, and We Saw 458 Miles on a Real-World Ride-Along

    Pretty close to what I was referring to. Lucid did the study and were simply comparing the official test range of the battery (using the standard EPA-like test) to how well the car would perform at 70 mph. They simply divided the tested range by the range they actually got driving 70 to see...

    Lucid Air EV Has a Projected 517 Miles of Range, and We Saw 458 Miles on a Real-World Ride-Along

    Their "efficiency" is merely how close the numbers are when traveling 70mph compared to the tested numbers. In reality, the Model 3 went further on a smaller battery.

    Lucid Air EV Has a Projected 517 Miles of Range, and We Saw 458 Miles on a Real-World Ride-Along

    Physics is physics but surely there could be a more efficient motor/battery/circuit than Tesla has made. But, in this instance, Lucid is saying their range at 70 mph is closer to their rated range than Tesla's range at 70 mpg is to their rated range... Thus, they are more efficient. Truth is...

    Lucid Air EV Has a Projected 517 Miles of Range, and We Saw 458 Miles on a Real-World Ride-Along

    I'll bet someone else will get there first but they'll use a crap-ton of batteries and won't be competitive. The telling thing here is that Lucid is getting their 500 mile range with a battery that is under 110 KWH in size. If Tesla was that efficient, the CT would be getting 1,000 miles.

    Nikola is going to crush Tesla with its new technology!

    Well said. It would seem that getting hydrogen set up along long-haul routes for big trucks would be an easier sell and fast fuel-ups would be a bigger deal. I'm all for cleaner air but I don't think I would bother with a hydrogen vehicle. I mean, we "fuel" up the MY at our house almost...

    Lucid Air EV Has a Projected 517 Miles of Range, and We Saw 458 Miles on a Real-World Ride-Along

    Yeah! Also, when you put a 50 gallon tank in the bed of your truck, it can be a little heavy AND takes up cargo space.

    ... and could be why Tesla chose right now to do a 5 for 1 stock split...

    Lucid Air EV Has a Projected 517 Miles of Range, and We Saw 458 Miles on a Real-World Ride-Along

    True. I mean, Tesla vehicles do have supercar acceleration or at least really close to it. I'd like to point out that my last truck was of the $80k+ variety and while it was a gorgeous Ruby Red Pearl color, it wasn't exactly super styling or fast. High-end vehicles are expensive, that's for...

    It's got to be ajdelange for the most technical answers, for sure.

    Lucid Air EV Has a Projected 517 Miles of Range, and We Saw 458 Miles on a Real-World Ride-Along

    Hmm... makes sense but I'm not going to put 1/4 gallon of gas in my Prius every day.

    protestors outside fremont factory

    I agree that you can like the product without liking the man. Outside of maybe Mr. Toyoda, Mr. (Bill) Ford, and Mr. Musk, it is difficult to even name the CEOs of other manufacturers. Not that you cant, just that it is difficult. Never has there been a manufacturing CEO that has been as...

    protestors outside fremont factory

    The Teslas's playbook looks like they care about their workers. Tesla isn't the only company going back to work. Most are back at it now.

    VW chief defies sceptics with ambitious plans to overtake Tesla

    You bring up a point. Earnings get split up in quite a few ways. How much of every vehicle price paid goes into advertising, you reckon?

    Largest Electric Vehicle: The eDumper sets world record - has a 4.5-ton battery.

    The truck literally uses gravity to charge the batteries and uses that stored energy to go back up the hill. It works because the truck is loaded when coming down and empty when going back up. It literally never has to be connected to an external power source in order to be able to do it's...

    Elon Musk is ready to pull out of California, over CA not allowing the plant to be reopened.

    That will be the calculus from this point on. Corona Virus and the Flu will continue to find a way to infect people. We can't avoid that completely unless we could somehow freeze every living person in place for about 3 weeks. So, the calculation becomes not IF you are going to open your...

    Elon Musk is ready to pull out of California, over CA not allowing the plant to be reopened.

    It seems to me that they have a very well thought out plan (probably just like every other vehicle manufacturer that is starting up next week). Read through it. It is quite impressive the lengths Tesla is going through for their employees. It's not like they are forcing people to work in an...

    Elon Musk is ready to pull out of California, over CA not allowing the plant to be reopened.

    Inaction also has consequences. I respect your passion. I'm glad grocery stores, department stores, home improvement stores, car dealerships, etc. are all working. I don't see how allowing employees to decide if they feel safe enough to work and actually providing guidance on working safe...
