EV's & Tundra's

How much is overall range affected with such a large load?

 

I reckon he would get ~150 miles…tops

city driving?….<100 miles

not awful, considering it’s an EV

 

I just realized we have essentially free supercharging now that we got that referral bonus

Do any other EV companies do that?

do any other auto companies do that?

 

That's an awesome stat.

I've never pondered that.

 

ballpark this for me.

what are the possibilities?

 

If I can't opt out of generative AI that's a deal breaker.

 

I’m about to either drop my Tesla or insurance. I’m getting ridiculous crash warnings and has dropped my score and raised my rates 20%

 

How are these crash warnings communicated to your insurance?

 

Driving Your EV Like A Lunatic Might Help Its Batteries Last Longer: Stanford Study

"The scientists at SLAC-Stanford Battery Center call this dynamic cycling, and it turns out that real-world usage may result in much longer battery lifespans than people previously thought. As the study reports, it can result in as much as a 38 percent longer battery lifespan than seen under constant current testing. This is particularly interesting because all this real-world cycling was previously thought to be more harmful to batteries than constant current lab testing."

 

I use Tesla insurance . Here is before and after the update . It’s pretty obvious

 

I am with GEICO till 2/15

Progressive quote was 45% cheaper.

Damn! My tundra is 210 every 6 Mos. The most expensive vehicle I insure is my Alfa Romeo Stelvio. It is only 400 every 6 Mos. Livin cheap in AL.

We are near the hell-hole of Houston.

and...our 2 <25 yr old kids are on the policy.

 

Remember Costco offers insurance through American Family(IIRC) if your a member.

 

$300 month for CT through Selective

 

I like the exterior. I think it was smart to differentiate the look from the new Model 3, and it also helps tie the cybertruck into the family with similar lighting language. I still dislike the interior. They need an instrument cluster and the head unit needs to be in the dash, not tacked on like an afterthought.
