    How many powerwalls will fit in vault?

    Sorry Crissa, I think you are the one who has that backwards, Your math is for a 400kWh battery and a 450kW charger more charge = less time that is why you ended up with 54 minutes. ajdelange's math was for a 450kWh battery and a 400kW charge so he ended up a little over an hour.

    Who would commit a down payment today?

    This far ahead of delivery (I'm a Single motor reservation, so it'll be a while) I'd also want to sit in one at least in a showroom, if not test drive one.

    Maybe I shouldn't wait for the CT anymore.

    More importantly, we kind of suck at living under water.

    Chart: Which countries have the most electric cars?

    Iceland is a little bit of a surprise to me. When I visited a few years ago they had amazing infrastructure with L3 chargers well spaced out along the main highways in places that were easy to find and very visible, and parking garages offering outlets for L2 if no pernmanent L2 was installed...

    Study reveals EV secret: They are driven less than gas cars

    I can think of several reasons that I'm not surprised by this result. - many 2 car families have replaced the less used commuter car with a shorter range EV - many people for whom the shorter range EVs fit their lifestyle it was BECAUSE they drive fewer miles in a year than the people who...

    Engineering Explained: If Gas cars are banned, Can The Grid Handle Electric Cars?

    It is cheap, but it isn't built yet. It will take some time to get there.

    Tesla connectors coming to over 600 EVgo electric vehicle charging station

    The more the merrier. If we don't get a North American standard plug (be that CCS 1 or Tesla) I do hope charging networks start running both plugs (the same as how most non-Tesla ..at least around me... have Chademo and CCS) Chademo we all know is a dying standard, so if newer chargers...

    Tesla Cybertruck’s Structure Will Be Unique, According to Sandy Munro

    Even just by looking at that photo comparison you can tell the Rivian bed is at least a foot shorter. I don't know how that is a better truck for hauling lumber. At least with the Cybertruck or standard F150 you can drop the tailgate and a 4x8 sheet of plywood or average 2x4 wouldn't hang out...

    But How...?

    Name your top 5 reasons why you pre-ordered a Cybertruck

    ok, For what it's worth I ordered a Single motor. My needs are more cargo space than the Chevy Volt and has to be electric. My wife and I like to camp and our Winter Trekking gear takes up the back seat plus a bag on the roof racks. Summer gear is more compact, but it'd be nice to take another...
