Honest opinion is that if there is a high enough density of EV's in a given area, there is also a fairly high density of L3 charging stations. It...
There is a guy on youtube that build a battery trailer and hooked it up to his converted VW Samba. Seemed to work out for him since the trailer...

I got the sense from watching the whole thing that while Truck was "the logical thing" It didnt sound like it was a priority in the near/medium...
Probably the only threads i follow anymore on TMC are the pickup truck threads because i still need to tow my trailers and have decent work...
Well even Reddit is down.... Think Tesla just broke the internet! Got that Gerbil screen. Might be back up after my 3rd attempt
There is no doubt in my mind that Nuclear is the end power game. The issue is the Light Water Reactor designs of today along with the Nuclear...
The Model S works today because of the performance and coolness factor. People are willing to pay the price premium the MS because for many those...
Couple of them have already been repeated but here it goes. 1. If spacex's plan is to be the Fed Ex of space, how do you plan on going to mars...
We had a pretty good discussion on this topic about a year ago. Would suggest taking a look at Class 8 trucks going down mountains with full...
While I agree F150's hauling capabilities are worthless (1500 to 2000 pounds) lately their tow ratings are more then respectable with some hitting...
Tesla success formula is pretty simple. Put a big battery in the car and liquid cool it. With a big battery you have the potential for a lot of...
Todd The ramping down is due to the infrastructure cost needed for a 135kw grid pull can be pricey. For instance currently there are 0 DC3...
While I agree opening up the protocol benefits everyone, the caveats Elon describe means that hardly anyone is going to take them up on the offer....

Just read this article that says a fully electric 2016 xc90 to compete with the Model X. Not a lot of detail but worth reading. Pure electric...
0-100 km/h in 12 seconds... thats pretty good for an electric car *cough*. So many half truths in that video.
I for one am hoping for a price decrease. Not that i could afford one even if the price decreases, but I think its time the price goes in the...
Lets upsize my example for a minute and say we have a 12 charger array with 200A of service. You are not going to wire each charger to be capable...
Does this patent include all charging or just L3 charging? One of the problems I have seen is the dedicated wiring for each individual L2 charger...
Look how fast SpaceX ramped up? you mean 2 years behind schedule? Tesla is still working on the Model S's different versions. They are...
I have to agree with everything roblab is saying. The idea of having L2 chargers all over the place is to solve the fact that today's EV's have...
Normally I am not a fan of news agencies, but I have read a lot of articles about this car that state the 120 mile range (from the manufacture)...
Thought i read a couple years ago that number was $384. Given that many people believe Tesla is getting cell prices below $250 per kwh, you have...
Tesla has really proven the concept of bigger batteries and liquid cooling. By having bigger batteries, your motors and inverters can be sized...
I think your definition of Tesla Time also carries over to Elon's SpaceX. Grandiose plans with short time tables only to be delayed by reality...
I know the point of this is to try and sell the car, but really just put the 300 watts of solar panels on the collector and wireless charge the...
This wont happen any time soon. Tesla is way too expensive for how many cars they sell. Telsa sells 1 percent of the volume of GM, but has a...
Probably doesnt hurt them all that much to stop production. If battery cells are indeed the bottle neck, then shutting down just stocks that...
Random thought, but i noticed that Albert Lea picture was right next to an airport. Supercharger network for EV Planes are next on Elon's list...
Over the last say 6 years I have been obsessing about various topics including EV's and Space (before Tesla or SpaceX existed FYI). Once i...
Clearwater Travel Plaza... Its on 94 and only 7 miles from Hi-way 10 so it can handle traffic from both locations. It is a bit close to the...
Its easy to have an over sized casual pickup truck when fuel is only $3.00 per gallon and $105 a year in registration (Thank you Gov Ventura). I...
You had me laughing at Model Y, but think you went to far with the CAR at the end!
In the short term, there is a pent up demand in the secondary markets for these cars which will keep that value up for the foreseeable future....
I love how there is all this buzz about Tesla building a pickup truck, yet Tesla probably wont even have a napkin drawing for another 4-6 years...
If I am dreaming then I want it to run on a p B11 pollywell fusor. Clean, cheap, abundant and theoretical.
I think Toyota is making the right move for them. They still have the halo effect with the Prius line and they sell a lot of them. With the...
Why would that be? Hydrogen doesn't store a lot of energy per unit volume which means a lot of space and weight used up by tanks. In addition...
O I'm not an electrical engineer, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Well technically I guess you could say I am a software...
The first question always starts with how much energy do you need (for a typical day). Normally loaded long haulers with an 11 hour work day...
I think it is more then just triple digits. Everyone talks about the average day they only drive xx miles but a lot of people do not buy their...
Of course they cant afford a 65k car, but for only 5k more than the base leaf (27k) you can add at least another 10 KwH for a total of around ~120...
I think the Leaf has the potential to be a Gen III competitor, but Nissan has taken the road of making a compliance car then telling everyone that...
Ouch... just looked at balqon mx30 day cab Tractor specs. 380kwh for 90 miles of loaded range. Guess my 2-3MwH for a long haul day wasnt to far off.
I rode around with my friend for a day (who is a regional driver) and we got to talking when he filled up his rig with Diesel. We came onto the...
My guess if you just double the Tesla 85kwh pack and you decide to take that bus on the highway, you may only get 80 miles of range or less. I...
While not my area of expertise, I came across this ESS system that may be worth looking at. For 12 grand this ESS is 34kwh meaning $350 per kwh....
