Google Maps says it's only 234 miles between downtown SLC and Moab. Are you just not willing to charge to 80% to 90%?

Have you tried using Entry Mode with the seats lowered all the way? Or is it still too high? I imagine the double-stacked battery makes this challenge more difficult. I wonder if the new 4695 batteries, single-stacked, will improve entry/ingress for oldsters?

That was the automakers plan all along, make the chargers congested to slow down adoption of EVs (while still selling everyone they make because they come with 1-2 years of "free" driving). Just plug up those fast chargers and remove any incentive for EV buyers to add home charging. They talk a...

That's the way to go, multiple EVs sharing the same breaker in an intelligent manner. And everything is hardwired with no janky plugs and outlets to wear out and corrode/oxidize.

QuantumScape's solid state batteries are too expensive to compete with existing lithium-ion batteries for as far as the eye can see. This is nothing more than a "fluff" announcement to fool gullible people.

Just get a ground tent. Roof-top tents are over-rated and have numerous disadvantages that people don't think about until they actually start using them. The biggest one for me is that when you are camping at primitive campsites in the backcountry, your tent can't be used to reserve your camp...

Do the Performance Dual Motors have half-shafts that are different lengths on the left vs. the right?

Rivian definitely installed 22" rims on your car. You cannot fit an R22 tire on a 21" rim. Are you sure that's what your order said, 21" rims?

The OP was pretty clear that no objects were hit. That said, roads are not always perfect, even expansion joints can cause tire heat to rise above what it would be on a smoother surface. I'm confident that if people knew the actual pavement temperature, the actual travel speed in the minutes...

No need to get angry! I suspect no "lies" were actually told. The regulatory process is lengthy and often very subjective. I'm not surprised the Times is using this to try to make Elon look like an outlaw.

I have direct experience with about 60 tpms pressure sensors. Each one read within 1 psi of the true pressure. I'm not saying there can't be outliers, but the TPMS sensors should never be used to set the cold psi anyway. Always use a quality tire pressure gauge to set cold pressure and ensure...

I'm saying 50 psi is low because they were doing extended highway travel in hot weather with a load. The pressure should have read a bare minimum of 52 psi, I would have been more comfortable with 54 psi if it was sunny and warm and I was doing extended highway driving with three adults and...

I should add that with 7800 miles on the tires, it's possible the tires were already compromised by having driven on the highway during hot weather with one or more under-inflated tires. That can permanently weaken the tire and make it more susceptible to heat induced blowouts on future trips...

Manufacturers never give a hot pressure recommendation. Normal pressure rise from stone cold to mid-day highway pressures is more typically 4-5 psi. Maybe you are unaware that cold pressure is first thing in the morning, without having driven at all. Even a two mile drive or sitting in the...

The person complaining is the person who thinks Musk caused unacceptable environmental damage by building a spaceport. I'm the one who thinks the complaint is unfounded.

The max pressure listed on the sidewall is a cold inflation pressure. The tires are designed to handle hot pressures well in excess of the maximum cold inflation pressures. Your concern of over-pressurization was not valid.

Why were you driving on under-inflated tires, especially on fast roads, loaded for a multi-day trip? It makes no sense.

So what? There's no such thing as a Spaceport or an airport that doesn't impact the environment where it's built. How about all the off-shore oil wells in the Gulf of Mexico. Or the roads you drive on. I get so tired of people telling us we can't do anything big because it might have an...

I didn't claim Elon's statements are subjective, it's the way each individual sees and interprets those statements that's subjective. Duh! He's a good man that is being attacked by the interests he threatens. I mean, how would you feel if most of your income was derived from a resource that a...

Low tire pressures are much more likely to cause a blowout than high pressures. Especially if the weather is hot.
