If you had any real conviction you wouldn't use Tesla SCs at all. So hypocritical but typical.

For those who are enamored with the potential of the REV and RAMCharger, understand Stellantis is having severe difficulty with EVs. Dodge Charger EVs are bricking at dealerships. More than half the EVs at the Windsor production facility (they only make 10-12 a day) won't charge. Wagoneer S has...

Fair question. $44K. I'm 4 years into an 8 year break even. As electricity rates rise the remaining 4 years will shrink. Being your own power source with two EVs is very satisfying.

I have a 12kW Tesla Solar and 3 Powerwalls. I drive a R1T and Y. I suggest you purchase the largest solar system you can afford and your roof will allow. However don't go solar without battery back-up. Selling power back to the grid at wholesale is no bueno. Rivian and Tesla are supposed to have...

Highly annoyed? Then don't use the network.

Replaced my Tesla Gen 2 wall charger with the Universal about a month ago. I no longer have to back the R1T into the garage for charging. Handles the Rivian and Tesla flawlessly. If you plan to do a similar swap, check multiple times and ways to be sure the power is off and torque the screws to...

Stop stressing and enjoy the vehicle. It's amazing!

You get the last word oh wise one.

Oh that one hurt...I guess you get to decide what gets discussed and who wins...intelligently.

The 0.39 is an estimate.

Selling more (at a profit) is what makes Tesla a worldwide trillion-dollar company. It's THE metric upon which all corporate entities are measured. How long it came to market?...wake me when someone cares.

You seem to give Rivian a pass on their delays. OK, fair enough. Tesla just doesn't measure up to Rivian. Let's just see how many R1Ts and CTs are sold in 2024. Care to wager?

Depends on what you were/are expecting. The aerodynamics are relative to it's competition, not the model S or Lucid air. On that speculation, let's compare notes after the unveiling. Oh, and yes my sister works in Austin.

Yes they are shipping now but how long have we waited for said items? I attended the June 2019 unveiling of the R1T in Denver when max pack was listed as an option. That's a long wait. The delay of the PTC fix was/is terrible. My point is all manufacturers have delays. If you're waiting for a...

The metrics most care about are range, charging speed, payload and towing capacity. The CT will excel in all. Acceleration is a given. The aerodynamics of the triangle design reduces drag leading to better efficiency per Kwh of battery capacity regardless of chemistry. 800 volt architecture...

Well prepared to be surprised as it will outsell the Lightning, Silverado, and R1T combined. Most likely it will have far more capability in range, towing and efficiency. Hideous?...perhaps, but form follows function for some. ...you know, those who have engineering taste ....and money.

And how long have we waited for the promised the redesigned camp kitchen, max packs, PTC fix, service appointments, etc. Tesla is not alone in delayed promises. But they are more fun to ridicule...right?

They're also good at building profitable EVs with excellent software and charging network.

I swapped out my Gen 2 charger. Took about 45 minutes with commissioning. Easy process for anyone comfortable working with electricity. The dock is so small and slick. Compare it to my old adapter. Now I no longer have to back the R1T into the garage to charge.

I believe GM pays about $55/hr. Ford is $64/hr. Tesla is $50-$55/hr. I assume Rivian is somewhere near Tesla. If the union can obtain $80, $90 or $120 per hour plus all the other demands, how can the companies compete manufacturing EVs they already lose tens of thousands on each vehicle produced?
