taco inverter can't even run a rice cooker or microwave lol

it's a lie and waste of time

you're better running a dual battery set up for compressor on taco instead of plugging it in

you can run as much voltage as you want, its the amperage that matters

I agree with your comment above that they cut out the middle man. My only concern when I purchased a Tesla was it was still in line with the price of other cars in the same category, M5, E63 etc. In fact after options and rebates etc I was much higher.

I’m aware of the production costs being on the higher side for these cars so it would be nice to see if cutting out the middle translates into a better price for consumers.

^ Tesla sold here seems to be a direct conversion from USD, where as many traditional automakers when you drive am example off the lot actually works out a bit cheaper in canada even with our outrageous taxes compared to US dealers

in other meme/news:

nuts already getting into heated copyright wars

a very worthwhile analysis from the gentleman who talked down on the model 3's build quality


his firm consults for designs like this

any guesses on the length of the tailgate?

won't fit the garage with it opened...same length as SCrew 6.5ft bed which already has less than 3ft of play if parked indoor

Well shit, they are going to shrink it by 5%.

With everything going on in the world, and potential delays. Who else is rethinking their order?

I didn’t pre-order but will be extremely interested in pricing once it’s actually released. I don’t want a 2wd truck, But definitely can’t afford the dual motor. With having a son now I’m going to be watching that cybertruck with great interest

He released a statement afterwards saying they aren't going to shrink it anymore, and they may make a smaller truck down the line.

So what’s the deal here. Is this just vapourware or is it eventually coming out?

Not like I put money down. But with the ford lightning and hummer EV coming out… what gives

I wouldn't be surprised if it gets ditched and remains vapourware. The main thing going for it was the potential first to market factor, which is obviously gone now.

The new timeline from musk has it coming out in mid 2023 with a price higher than first announced. Rivian is also now delivering trucks.

Musk was on the fullsend podcast last week he talked about it briefly, they still plan to make it but because it's so different than anything else it's taking longer than they thought.

It'll come out eventually but I wouldn't be surprised if it gets delayed again and comes out as a 2025 model. Not defending Tesla, but they have their hands full with getting the Berlin & Texas factories up and running and they just removed the ability to order the Tesla Model 3 LR due to supply chain constraints.

I don't think Tesla is concerned. The people that would seriously buy the Cybertruck aren't going to buy a Rivian/Silverado/F150. It's a different market and they will wait.

Like the roadster that's taking forever. He can't yet build it with the promised range and performance at the advertised prices, they need technology to catch up.

spacex thrusters turned roadster into a blatant vapourware

i think cybertruck will still come but they went back to the drawing board to better compete with the rivian and the price will surely reflect it

In June musk said the design for the truck has been finalized.

https://insideevs.com/news/593833/mu...inally-locked/

Tesla has lost sales because of the delay. People have bought f-150's and Rivians. I have a pre order but probably will not need a truck by then.

Between the weird design and the competition already ahead of them is this going to be anything more than a niche product? I wonder what the final price will end up being as well since they initially tried to make it cheap but clearly that ain't happening.

Tesla charging infrastructure

This is VERY important with any EV

just look around in any parkade or shopping mall and try to find a charging spot
