    Who do so many V8 guys, just HATE on Tesla?

    With that, I'm done in this thread. I never thought there be this much action in here, both good and bad. I think it's run its course. Have a good night folks and continue to enjoy our appreciating Cobras

    Who do so many V8 guys, just HATE on Tesla?

    Amen brother. The logic used by some in here is so asinine and backwards, that it's hard to even think how they put it together in their head and truly believe it. Maybe Elon should just hire some of these folks in here as engineers? They have some really great ideas. But they probably...

    Who do so many V8 guys, just HATE on Tesla?

    Because you have the ability to mass produce them in the USA. Sorry if I thought that making something in the USA is a pro. The Model 3 is already the MOST AMERICAN car you can buy today by content percent. Adding to the ability to down the road manufacturer the batteries here could be a big...

    Who do so many V8 guys, just HATE on Tesla?

    Absolutely correct here. The gov will just find some reason to have a military operation in the Congo or somewhere else with stockpiles of the minerals. Things never change. Again I'm not advocating everybody immediately switch to EV that they are amazing and the best ever. I'm simply saying...

    Who do so many V8 guys, just HATE on Tesla?

    Absolutely correct But as we can see here, it's going to be a while until "everybody" is charging at night. So for now, I'll enjoy the savings. Even without the TOU discount, and the rate spike due the "Ukraine War" I could still drive 95-135 miles. Although I saw a post that somebody's...

    Who do so many V8 guys, just HATE on Tesla?

    What he fails to understand is that the price to charge the car, and the price for home electricity is different. Vastly different. I use a TOU (time of use) meter that gives approximately a 45% discount to charge my car between 9pm-7am. The vehicle knows the schedule so it will automatically...

    Who do so many V8 guys, just HATE on Tesla?

    Thanks for the calcification. I'd say if you wanted to really make it rich, I'd be in the energy storage market. If there is a breakthrough, it's going to be huge. It was interesting to listen to a podcast where Elon was asked all these incredibly complicated questions about the future of...

    I've not been there, as I haven't a need. But that shop is held in the highest regard possible on local forums and groups. Not sure who the owner is, but he must be a good guy

    Thanks for copying only part of my message. Again, you'd make a great politician too. Reading must be hard, here's the rest of my quote to help you out. "Elon has switched the cheaper Teslas to a LiFePO4, or LFP for short" Again... The cheaper, RWD only models have been switched to an...

    My understanding was the LFP was better in the cold. I'm sure neither are great. My NCA in extreme winter weather (15* blizzard conditions) I saw around a 40-45% reduction in range. I know they are less energy dense and can be routinely charged, and stored, at 100% SOC

    The LFP battery is already out in the RWD models all over the world. There are both pros and cons to the LFP battery. Unless you'd like to twist these words as well? You'd make a great politician

    I never said they don't need nickel or cobalt. I said there is a new design battery that is used in the cheaper models that doesn't need it.

    Who do so many V8 guys, just HATE on Tesla?

    Electric rates in my state are already going crazy. Sucks. $0.18 per kWh here. For reference my car pulls 11.4kwh from my home charger. 240v at 48amps

    Who do so many V8 guys, just HATE on Tesla?

    As I stated in an earlier post. Elon has switched the cheaper Teslas to a LiFePO4, or LFP for short. Cobalt and nickel free. Just need iron (literally everywhere) and lithium (3rd most abundant element) There is also new technology able to diffuse lithium from sea water. But you're not...

    Who do so many V8 guys, just HATE on Tesla?

    To clarify, as I of course know you know what you're talking about here. To use the regenerative brakes, you actually don't touch the brake pedal. Doing so actually reduces the amount of energy "captured" On the Model 3 the regen brake is actually pretty strong. I typically drive from home to...

    Who do so many V8 guys, just HATE on Tesla?

    Thats because the Cali commies shut down their natural gas plants before sufficiently building up the sustainables. Not my problem they are dumb In the developed parts of this country whre the homeless dont shit so mucvh on the street that theres an interactive ap for it, I don't see it as a...

    Who do so many V8 guys, just HATE on Tesla?

    There will never be a vehicle that is able to recharge itself by self carried solar panels. A model 3 would at BEST be able to add 3-5 miles a DAY. Maybe a van that had deployable sun panels when parked might be able to add 10-20 miles a DAY in LA My DQs electric bill is $5000+ and I joke when...

    But their cable is watercooled!!!! Yeah and so is the Tesla Charger already from 2-3 years ago.

    Who do so many V8 guys, just HATE on Tesla?

    No diss to Ford, but I don't see them the ones cracking the battery charging speed. Cable is one thing I'd look at the DC Megachargers Tesla will be using to charge the day delivery Tesla Semis I think they are projecting 1.5 megawatts That's so much I can't even visualized it

    What's built? What's back? What's better? Is there any aspect of the average American's life that's actually better now than 2 years ago? But, just because he is pro-ev doesn't mean he is pro biden. Unless you know him I don't know

    The only "mod", other than suspension or aero mods, would be the downloadable acceleration boost. Kind of weird to download more HP, but that's how it is. As far as maintenance goes. I both agree and disagree with you. On the cobra, yes I like doin the maintenance. Its relaxing But on the...

    Yes that's pretty awful. I don't claim this man lol However the sentry mode is GREAT. Honestly surprised that no other manufacturer has thought of it. It looked like he was holding the sentry mode flash drive The car has I believe 8 exterior cameras. When parked it continuously monitors people...

    Who do so many V8 guys, just HATE on Tesla?

    I think I forgot this one. I don't live in a big city and never want to. Inner city is going to be a big challenge for EVs. Of which is why I am so against the banning/mandating of ICE by 2030/2035/2040

    Who do so many V8 guys, just HATE on Tesla?

    I'm not advocating the mass adoption of EV here guys. I am saying I simply enjoy driving it as a DD and curious why the others have such strong negative feelings towards that. As seen here If you follow Musk, and enjoy listening and learning. Then do so, and I'm not trying to make that sound...
