I cross posted it over there yesterday. https://www.cybertruckownersclub.com/forum/threads/not-a-good-look-for-tesla-diversion-team-tactics.8883/ I'll agree with you the barometer on Tesla sentiment over there is relatively high, just as it is relatively low on this forum. The truth is...

I think there's plenty of blame to go around: EPA: honestly the entire range and efficiency spec system needs to be junked and redone. Didn't make sense for ICE, and it's even worse for EVs. Need a city and highway numbers, and the latter accurate at no less than 70mph the whole time. Winter...

Fully charged drove this in China awhile back: Seemed to me to be much more car like in platform and suspension than most of the North American, Toyota, VW international offerings. Good mall crawler, maybe get you to a soft road campsite, but not crazy great utility beyond that. At least...

I mean there will definitely be packaging, safety, tie down, volume issues with the 48V plan, but... If you don't like it, want to sell the truck, etc, it should be easy to revert to stock if you did it right. Then the components could go on something else, like a camper trailer or something...

Wonder if it would just be easier to go HVDC -> 48+VDC -> off the shelf inverter charger like a Growatt or EG4. Here's a 65A rated bidirectional DC/DC converter, for example: https://www.vicorpower.com/industries-and-innovations/automotive/hv-battery-conversion

How would you ensure phase sync with two in parallel?

More info about the unit and other cars it's used on. Apparently there is a 220V version also... https://openinverter.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2693

So as soon as the inverter unit receives HVDC in it immediately starts outputting 120VAC? No switch or config or turn on signal at all? If so, that might just work for what I have in mind then...

Good stuff here, so I cross posted this l link to this thread on openinverter.org. Anyone have more detailed specifications for the input DC voltage this part looks for? And what controls it from turn on / turn off (dry contact, relay, CANBUS command, etc? )

Just a heads up, if you're planning to come across US 50 through Gunnison, there's really ugly road construction going on there again this year. Our model Y picked up about a half a dozen deep stone chips and other minor paint damage driving over the loose tiny gravel + tar mix. Rivian on high...

Pro still says sold out on the website. Still no Pro ER to the public. Still saying hard pass.

Looks like how we car camp + cook when we do, and we have the same brand but an older model even. Except we're just as likely to bring the instant pot as the induction cooktop lol.

I live just west of Telluride. Yes the DCFC at that Conoco is not to be relied on, and even if you can get the EVConnect app to get it to start, it's priced at $.75/kWh. The L2 at the Intercept Lot was marked out of service a bit ago but haven't tried it since. The one at the Gondola parking...

Looks like Ford heard me and changed their pricing already :) https://insideevs.com/news/676818/ford-f150-lightning-electric-truck-price-drop/

I'd like to see what percentage of the inventory sitting on dealer lots is highest trim, mid trim extended range, vs base short range models. In Ford's case, I think their revised upwards pricing was a hope in vain that the first "gotta have it crowd" from a year ago was actually a long term...

So would the dual motor version be abbreviated.... R2D2....?

It's an air guide. Takes high pressure air from the rear of the front wheel wells and directs it to behind the cab / over the bed where the low pressure bubble sits. I've brought up how bad that gash looks in renders, and probably will in person too to the CEO. He's receptive to feedback and...

I highly recommend the OpenEVSE, of which I have two. Awesome unit for continuous use at home, and if you get the 14-X plug version, handy to take on the road too. Easy to repair, and the software gets continuous improvements from some really great open source developers. Full control via the...

I skimmed the article, but actually read what he said about the Telo MT1. In my opinion, his take on that truck is completely wrong. I have been throwing around ideas with the CEO, lead engineer, etc on discord. They've really put in a lot of effort to ask what people want, don't need, etc in...

So I just ran another test with my own B&S 5K generator (it needed maintenance anyway), rebuilt / repaired 10 year old clipper Creek built portable L1/L2 EVSE, my Volt and also a '23 model Y. Key takeaways: - Generator needs to be up to speed and reasonably warmed up - Power switch needed to...
