? Rivian Adopts Tesla NACS Standard!
Non-Tesla already use Tesla destination chargers with an inexpensive adapter, so no, the number doesn't include destination chargers, which anyone can already use. It's Superchargers only. The 12,000 Superchargers Tesla is opening up are individual Superchargers (they have over 17,000 in N... -
? Rivian Adopts Tesla NACS Standard!
Haha! The Supercharger Network already uses designs that are single sourced or "monopolized" (designed, built and tested in-house). And that is a primary reason why the Supercharger Network experience is so horrific and EV adoption has stagnated...errr....wait... Oh, never mind! -
? Rivian Adopts Tesla NACS Standard!
I expect it to be roughly double where it is now in three years. -
? Rivian Adopts Tesla NACS Standard!
Even if all EV makers switched to NACS tomorrow, and were allowed on the Supercharger Network, Supercharger usage would probably only increase by around 25%. And Tesla announced they plan to roughly double the size of the Supercharger Network by the end of the year. So, Superchargers should be... -
Was eagerly awaiting Cybertruck, but getting disillusioned with Tesla
Yeah, every service request results in a quote, even if your car is under warranty. I've rarely had to pay anything and, when I did request non-warranty work, it was reasonably priced and completed without issue. As to whether anything in your post resonated with me, yes! Specifically, that you... -
GM Adopting NACS Tesla Charge Ports on Its Vehicles Starting 2025!
There is a difference between the government picking the standard, using all their infinite wisdon, and the government encouraging the industry to pick a single standard. The IRA rules say chargers supporting NACS must also support CCS in order to be eligible for the funding. But not the other... -
Infinite Range with Ecat SKL "Cold Fusion" Cell
Yes, it reminds me of all the pro-nuclear people in the 1950's claiming when we had nuclear power stations, the electricity they produced would be "too cheap to meter", LOL! Today, nuclear is more expensive than solar and wind. Heck, it's even more expensive than natural gas!- HaulingAss

GM Adopting NACS Tesla Charge Ports on Its Vehicles Starting 2025!
I didn't complain about the administration continuing to support the CCS standard but, considering that there will be adapters available from Ford and GM starting next year, I probably should complain that the administration hasn't shown any leadership in terms of coalescing the industry around... -
GM Adopting NACS Tesla Charge Ports on Its Vehicles Starting 2025!
The issue at hand in the post I responded to was whether there would be a unified charging standard and whether the Biden Adminstration was going to require CCS connectors (in addition to NACS) to receive funding for building charging infrastructure. And the comment was, more variety is good. I... -
GM Adopting NACS Tesla Charge Ports on Its Vehicles Starting 2025!
It's incredibly irrational and short-sighted to claim that "more variety" in charge ports is a good thing. Even GM and Ford will not put one of each on their vehicles once production vehicles come with the superior NACS charge port (because they are trying to get the price it costs to make an EV... -
GM Adopting NACS Tesla Charge Ports on Its Vehicles Starting 2025!
No, monopolies, in and of themselves, are not illegal. What's illegal is a company abusing their dominant position to prevent other competition from participating. But it's not illegal to have a monopoly simply because no one else is as efficient or as good as you. BTW, in North America, Tesla... -
GM Adopting NACS Tesla Charge Ports on Its Vehicles Starting 2025!
That's what I said. It's not Tesla's fault the federal government is throwing money at Tesla to do what they would be doing anyway! -
GM Adopting NACS Tesla Charge Ports on Its Vehicles Starting 2025!
This is very wrong. The original federal tax credits for the purchase of EV's had a cutoff defined by the sale of 200,000 EV's PER MANUFACTURER, not per model. And, interestingly enough, Tesla did not become strongly profitable until their volumes rose high enough that Tesla's received zero... -
GM Adopting NACS Tesla Charge Ports on Its Vehicles Starting 2025!
I don't think that's true. The Federal funding came with strings attached. I think these two agreements change everything. The federal funding rules might have to be re-written to accomodate the changed landscape. In any case, to date, Tesla has largely built out the Supercharger network with... -
GM Adopting NACS Tesla Charge Ports on Its Vehicles Starting 2025!
No, GM and Ford are doing this because they finally saw the true scope of the challenges their companies face. They are doing it as an act of desperation, their only hope to survive. In football it's called a "Hail Mary". Let's hope Mary can pull it off. I think Farley has a better chance, but... -
GM Adopting NACS Tesla Charge Ports on Its Vehicles Starting 2025!
You are not thinking about this correctly if you think these two deals with Ford and GM will make it difficult for Tesla to build out their Supercharger network quickly enough. For one, Ford and GM combined only build a small fraction of the EV's Tesla builds so that will not change anything... -
Ford EV will gain access to Tesla Superchargers and come with standard NACS ports starting 2025!
I'm familiar with corporate accounting practices and I understand that assigning an average loss per EV of $58,000 (as the media has done) is not all that meaningful because that number can move rather dramatically with increases in volume. But I don't see how it can move by even $50K, which... -
Ford EV will gain access to Tesla Superchargers and come with standard NACS ports starting 2025!
Homework is only less than 10% of the battle. Manufacturing efficiently is *hard*. Except for the minority of buyers who don't care much about price and value for their money. -
Ford EV will gain access to Tesla Superchargers and come with standard NACS ports starting 2025!
Yes, it fixes the charging and that was a real problem. A Ford EV still won't have as short of Supercharger stops as a comparable Tesla (due to battery thermal considerations and the higher electrical consumption per mile), but it will probably be more than adequate, and the reliability of the... -
Ford EV will gain access to Tesla Superchargers and come with standard NACS ports starting 2025!
This deal does nothing to fix the fact that Ford cannot manufacture the Lightning at a price that can accomodate mass market truck sales. That's why they lose 10's of thousands of dollars on every one they decide to build, and even with those losses, the price is still too high to sell many of...
