you are right on all points, and all of these issues have been solved for some time now. grid tied solar systems with battery backup disconnect themselves from the grid when running off battery so you dont fry some poor lineman repairing downed lines who thinks there’s no charge on the wire...

vehicle to grid is part of the utility and the promise of distributed power. it may be that any electric vehicle in the near future will be *required* (as in by law) to store power for the grid as a whole and provide backup during emergencies such as the recent debacle in Texas during the Arctic...

Ha! True. Motley Fool was decent when it started out. They always had something interesting to add, but past few years (maybe more?) their articles are fluff that try to sell you on some bs or another. I’m sort of partial to Ford, having owned a number of them, but I dont see them making...

https://xrayvsn.com/buying-an-electric-car-things-you-must-consider/ Just read this blog post about EV ownership. Having just spent $700 for four tires on my ICE mobile, I hadn't even considered the expense of tires for an EV with all the high torque and my lead foot! Still, the EV pros seem to...

Rogan is a bit of a dope, but he can be amusing at times. It's a little weird that Elon Musk has been on his podcast so much. An outgoing extroverted, big mouth, and an introverted nerd that can barely speak because his mind is thinking ten things at once, maybe they're complimentary.

That may be the understatement of the year. ;)

1. dual 50 cal machine guns 2. rocket powered ejection seats 3. submarine mode ???

I bet this has been stated before in this thread, but I don’t have the patience to sift through 35 pages... ? If the tri-motor is being produced first, and you put a deposit down for a tri-motor, then you might expect to get yours sooner than would be indicated by your order number alone. Plus...

Indeed. It smacked of BS from the get go. The claims made just seemed too good to be true. Or maybe that's my bias. The CT claims almost seem too good to be true, but then Musk usually delivers on those same claims.

You can tow it back up hill with your CyberTruck.

Tucson is another small, awesome city! I love that no matter which direction you drive in Tucson, you are staring at some mountains in the (not so) distance.

Or Elon misquoted himself. LOL! Or maybe Elon has access to more info than we are aware of. :unsure:;)

He’s already taking on those companies via SpaceX! ??? ... And giving them a solid spanking too.

I used to go off roading when I lived in Arizona. We’d call those scratches “desert pinstripe”. ?

It amazes me all the complaining that goes on for a vehicle that isnt even in production yet, and won’t be for a while. The deposit is fully refundable, and relatively insignificant. Speculate like crazy, but the whining and demanding gets tiresome pretty fast.
