but then you can’t call it ‘cybertuk’ don’t let facts get in the way of a good marketing lift

the statistics I’ve seen for backpack leaf blowers are nuts it would be interesting to see Tesla get in to the tuk-tuk adjacent space

no, they are making a distinction between individual L2 and supercharger plugs. 7,500 plugs total, 3,500 of which will be supercharger plugs.

to clarify: the 7,500 number includes ~1/2 super chargers and 1/2 L2s. Ignoring the L2s (because we should), that leaves the 3,500 superchargers, not supercharger stations. What you’ve quoted above is the first I’ve noticed of stating these 3,500 dual-use super chargers may not be new...

A good article on related point from MIT Tech Review today: The U.S. only has 6,000 fast charging stations for EVs. Here’s where they all are. Some TLDR highlight data: • In contrast to 6,000 fast charging stations, the United States has around 150,000 fuel stations • 400,000 EVs were sold...

Only 3,500 are superchargers, only by end of 2024 … disappointing And since there are at least 10 chargers at a station, question is: • will there be only 350 station locations open to non-Teslas, with all chargers available, or • will there be 3500 station locations open to non-Teslas...

Will be interesting to see Tesla’s Master Plan 3, in regards this question. Plan 1 was arguably all “car company” focused, and arguably entirely accomplished. Master Plan 2 was also disproportionately car company focused, other than solar. Arguably that solar portion of Plan 2 has not been...

Monroe Twitter vid suggests they don’t think the pics are of castings? But if your worry ends up right, that bigger Giga in Texas has some interesting new asterisks next to it for time being.

BTW, through all this note that the answers for a Tesla and its supercharging network are going to be very different from another manu’s BEV and the ‘competing’ charge networks. I have a Ford Lightning, and so no experience with Tesla’s supercharging charging networks - except to say it doesn’t...

There’s what I assumed was an obvious dose of hyperbole, yes - but it’s not nonsense. It’s an analogy. your suggestion was that as a principle if buyers are asking questions about how a product works it deserves a response on its own terms. And as the analogy suggests, it’s not the case that...

a 48A is on the medium/slower range of L2 charging If it’s an L2, then we’re not talking 5 minutes. You’re gonna want to plan a meal around it. For a 48A L2, I’m guesstimating something like 20-45 miles equivalent of charge, per hour of charge.

I appreciate the sentiment here. If “customer is always right,” then there better be a ready answer - seems to be the gist. Perhaps a so far unstated glitch in communication here is your apparent assumption that there are readily available fast chargers dotted around towns? Because with few...

I appreciate the frustration, and sorry I can’t do more to help. I can only clarify by being frank: you’re asking a nonsensical question. You are not asking a question that should tell any reasonable “ICE driver the stats they will use to determine if an EV is for them or not” That’s not...

Seems the fundamental point getting misunderstood in both directions is this: charging is not analogous to refueling Obviously there are analogies to be made, but it’s not so analogous that all comparisons make straight-forward sense. When I get home at end of day, it takes all of 3 seconds...

To be fair to Wyoming, they’re prob just on edge from all the Californians moving out after Yellowstone

I didn’t intend to be rough. I maybe just didn’t understand the posts in the first place. Like I said last, someone with a BEV that ends up accidentally needing to charge while running errands around town seems analogous to someone who accidentally runs out of gas before reaching a station...

Apologies, if you’re someone who drives >200mi/day “just while running errands or taking clients around town” then I was way off! (To be fair, you might have mentioned that!) Otherwise, unless you forget to plug in while at home overnight, for several nights in a row, the I don’t see why...

the reason that isn’t happening, is because it would be based on a premise these companies rightfully don’t share: namely, that it matters whether “filling up” takes >5mins. Let me preface by saying the Lightning is my first BEV, and I’m by no means either an unbridled BEV fan-boy, nor an...

great point.
