And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Before you drove to the middle of nowhere the Tesla Cybertruck would tell you where all the chargers are along your route. It will suggest which ones you should use to make it safely without running out of power with the fewest number of stops. It will warn you when your battery is running low and navigate you to the next charger, tell you how many chargers are currently available, how much it will cost per kWh, how long it will take to charge, and precondition the battery for optimum charging. If you really want to maximize range you can buy the optional extra range battery pack that fits in the sub trunk beneath the bed of the Cybertruck. Sure you may have to spend a little more time charging on a long trip, but for your daily drive the EV will be charged from your home charger and have a full battery every morning. ICE cars usually spend ten minutes getting fuel every 300-400 miles and that adds up to way more wasted time than the occasional supercharger stop for an EV. They are not for everybody like the millennial morons who rent and don't have a garage to charge every night. They can't even keep their phones charged. They will be the same morons who start the day with 20-30% charge and charge when they get below 10%. Then they can't understand why they got stranded when the temp dropped below zero last week and their range was reduced. I had absolutely no problems with my Tesla model Y this winter in Michigan. The Cybertruck will also blow the doors off every other truck in the same price range. Made in America too!!
And then the lithium batteries burst into flames because "reasons" and your house burns down because the fire can't be put out with water--not to mention the toxic fumes that the burning lithium emits. Hope this doesn't happen to you
You can stick your ev where the sun don't shine. Enjoy it when the grid goes down. Got a big battery in that garage? I have 250 gal of energy for low/no electricity periods. Ev's are a joke. Try replacing the battery, you'll enjoy that, immensely....I'm old and slow, I can still swap a sbc in two days. Let me know what your new battery installation costs....lol...
Really, this is precious. We have a lot of Teslas in my town, of course it's a big university town and I'm in a neighborhood with lots of professors and doctors. There are no charging stations in town though, except maybe a few on campus - it's all home setups I guess. So......remember the Big Freeze a few years ago, 2021? A lot of Texas was without power, some of it for quite a few days. A few people died of exposure. Anyhow.... We didn't lose power at all. Most of the surrounding area had good uptime, probably over 80-90%, and power outages were only a few hours at worst. But: You know what I didn't see? I didn't see any Teslas on the road. Not One. I guess the prospect of maybe losing power was enough to force all these Tesla owners into a whole new concept of conservation. They stayed at home.
Scale is off.

ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like yours, but I shouldn't be forced to buy one.

ReplyDeleteI remember that storm! That was when Ted Cruz went on vacation to Cancun letting his constituency and dog freeze to death.

ReplyDeleteHow much cow sh*t will it hold and how far will you get when it's below zero in the northern plains?
