Maybe the Supercharger’s already been built, but it’s covered in snow. Shovel away and find out !Jamestown construction gave me hope that they could still break ground in Grand Forks BUT... after seeing this today I‘m thinking we won’t see anything until next spring. View attachment 485426
Should bring Cybertruck up to do a little field testing.
I think you are greatly overestimating how many people drive long distances at temperatures of -40.Actually, I've been thinking about that. Here's my math.
Cybertruck 100% range when new = 400miles.
Towing 5000 pounds half the range for an X, and the truck can pull 15000, but lets just say 1/2. So 200 mile range.
Winter (real winter) halves the range for most of us. Leaving the Cybertruck as a work truck that might get 100 miles of range.
I understand that it works fine for some things, but as a work truck, I still have doubts. I think it should have an option for a Schwartzpack, or something, where it gets -at least- 1000 miles of range, hopefully more. Or an option for an onboard "as you drive" generator (yes, gas/diesel). Perhaps both.
Maybe EVs should have a second range rating. Something at full GCVW and -40 (so it's the same in F or C to eliminate confusion) keeping the cab at room temperature (21/72). THAT would be an interesting rating to see. My guess (fear?) is that the cybertruck would not make it from one supercharger to the next.
While I agree with the thought, yes -40F/C only applies to a very small margin of people. I live in ND and -33F is the coldest I’ve driven a Tesla in over two winters. 20F is probably a better temperature benchmark. Or maybe even 32F.I think you are greatly overestimating how many people drive long distances at temperatures of -40.

room temperature (21/72)
I see what you did there, -10 or -15 C or F? Go with the most logical metric temp. Forget the US and their backward set of units. Using -40 that almost no one drives in will artificially make all EVs look worse.I was trying to make it easier by choosing temperature descriptions that work in either F or C. I agree -10 or -15 is likely a better temperature to use.
