Article: It's becoming increasingly clear Tesla is just another car company -- agree / disagree?
a 48A is on the medium/slower range of L2 charging If itās an L2, then weāre not talking 5 minutes. Youāre gonna want to plan a meal around it. For a 48A L2, Iām guesstimating something like 20-45 miles equivalent of charge, per hour of charge. -
Article: It's becoming increasingly clear Tesla is just another car company -- agree / disagree?
I appreciate the sentiment here. If ācustomer is always right,ā then there better be a ready answer - seems to be the gist. Perhaps a so far unstated glitch in communication here is your apparent assumption that there are readily available fast chargers dotted around towns? Because with few... -
Article: It's becoming increasingly clear Tesla is just another car company -- agree / disagree?
I appreciate the frustration, and sorry I canāt do more to help. I can only clarify by being frank: youāre asking a nonsensical question. You are not asking a question that should tell any reasonable āICE driver the stats they will use to determine if an EV is for them or notā Thatās not... -
Article: It's becoming increasingly clear Tesla is just another car company -- agree / disagree?
Seems the fundamental point getting misunderstood in both directions is this: charging is not analogous to refueling Obviously there are analogies to be made, but itās not so analogous that all comparisons make straight-forward sense. When I get home at end of day, it takes all of 3 seconds... -
Cannot make this up: Wyoming subset attempt to ban electric vehicles in the state
To be fair to Wyoming, theyāre prob just on edge from all the Californians moving out after Yellowstone -
Article: It's becoming increasingly clear Tesla is just another car company -- agree / disagree?
I didnāt intend to be rough. I maybe just didnāt understand the posts in the first place. Like I said last, someone with a BEV that ends up accidentally needing to charge while running errands around town seems analogous to someone who accidentally runs out of gas before reaching a station... -
Article: It's becoming increasingly clear Tesla is just another car company -- agree / disagree?
Apologies, if youāre someone who drives >200mi/day ājust while running errands or taking clients around townā then I was way off! (To be fair, you might have mentioned that!) Otherwise, unless you forget to plug in while at home overnight, for several nights in a row, the I donāt see why... -
Article: It's becoming increasingly clear Tesla is just another car company -- agree / disagree?
the reason that isnāt happening, is because it would be based on a premise these companies rightfully donāt share: namely, that it matters whether āfilling upā takes >5mins. Let me preface by saying the Lightning is my first BEV, and Iām by no means either an unbridled BEV fan-boy, nor an... -
Article: It's becoming increasingly clear Tesla is just another car company -- agree / disagree?
Itās clearly a huge weakness of any non-Tesla BEV platform, for certain (large?) swaths of drivers with material daily commutes, regular long distance driving habits, single car families, etc. Iām curious though about the extent of that weakness for other types of drivers/use cases, and then... -
Article: It's becoming increasingly clear Tesla is just another car company -- agree / disagree?
I take that Tesla is āaheadā as a foregone conclusion. That said, the degree of āaheadā is TBD. I appreciate that Iām in the minority in this forum, but I personally donāt have a strong opinion on how soon, to what numbers, at what price, the CT will be available. Well said (the whole comment... -
Article: It's becoming increasingly clear Tesla is just another car company -- agree / disagree?
agreed - that to me will be the inflection point at which the emperorās clothes will be revealed, or not. Given the investment Ford is making, the available ācheat sheetā in the market (eg Tesla), and the effective ābetaā testing via current MachE and Lightning, it seems Fordās to lose (in... -
Article: It's becoming increasingly clear Tesla is just another car company -- agree / disagree?
things may well be inefficient in the way you describe, I donāt know - which is why Iām curious how you arrived at your figures RE losses of range for a given function? I have 3,500 miles on my Lightning, and am unfamiliar with any vehicle-provided metrics that would proffer this sort of... -
Article: It's becoming increasingly clear Tesla is just another car company -- agree / disagree?
I didnāt intend my adjective selection to so color an otherwise uncontroversial point: if ICE vehicles/manufacturing are Fordās past, and BEV vehicles/manufacturing are Fordās future, then from the perspective of Ford and relative to Fordās business these BEV factories are *Fordās*... -
Article: It's becoming increasingly clear Tesla is just another car company -- agree / disagree?
Iām here for and enjoying all the education, but at this marginal topic do have a minor contribution/correction: I donāt think itās accurate or compelling to hold up Fordās Lightning production as being an indices of its execution capabilities as a manufacturer. The Lightning is an inbetweener... -
Important inflation reduction act petition
But ā¦ only prior to them being signed into law. There is no more āamendingā the IRA. The āpetitionā is 6+ months late. or should I say, posting the petition here on this forum is lateā¦ -
Important inflation reduction act petition
I suppose Iām rusty in my legislative processes. But the bill itself *is* an amendment (of the previously existing law), and once signed by the president into law I donāt believe is subject to further āamendingā in any normal course other than if there is an entirely new bill (like itself)... -

come again? -
Important inflation reduction act petition
Seems strange (and poorly written/reasoned) to me. āIf the proposal were to pass as writtenā¦ā - is it not already passed into law, over 4 months ago? ā[w]e believe this proposal, in its current form, contains a self-defeating incentive structure by overly rewarding production of plug-in... -
Musk say's "Too much on my plate" [CLOSED DUE TO POLITICS]
thatās if course also true, but just to clarify I was vaguely referring to those that are very much pro EV, very much sighted on reducing emissions, and moving the planet toward more sustainable methods of transportation. again, Iām not the expert and not here to defend their views, but I have...- cvalue13
