No. Base model will be $35k, and we don't have the specs for it yet. Current cheapest Equinox EV is the $43.3k FWD 2LT. It's $3.3k extra for AWD. (RAV4 Hybrid is AWD, but a FWD electric crossover that matches the price would still be a big step forward).

Oh yeah, the new Augusta NEVI location is under construction.

The next big price target is to match hybrids. RAV4 Hybrid starts at $31,725 MSRP. Hit that in a compact crossover EV _without_ tax credits or other subsidy and the market would get a _lot_ easier with both consumers and voters.

Updated map image. - Added the planned NEVI Destination Pairs in Rangeley, Gorham (3), Orono (2), Greenville and Millinocket. These are marked D. - Marked Rockland Open - Marked Brunswick under construction.

I went for a drive. The Brunswick NEVI site appears to be under construction. (Flight Deck Brewing). No sign of construction at the Waldoboro Irving.

Meanwhile, in the real world, we just need EVs to be cheaper.

Buy low sell high is not really a complicated business model. The potential problem, on top of customer acquisition, is the market getting crowded.

From the road layout and westbound-only access this is one for the locals to explain. Despite the proximity, I'd not classify this as being for the Parkway. So where are the drivers on NJ-4 heading?

How did this thread go from SpaceX to baseball?

Or move. S'toon cried out for years for Superchargers in Saskatchewan, then moved to Alberta and Tesla built across the Canadian plains.

I only saw the 8 pedestals. Nothing else in view. So, they may have scaled back from 16 to 8 stalls.

More happenings. Can see from the excavation and conduit that they're doing the ground work. The box may have exciting hidden things in it. There's a pickup with Aldridge Electric on it. So they may be doing the work.

I hadn't noted it before but this is a V3 mini-Splitter! On I-84E it was 77.1 miles from Brewster, NY to Vernon, CT, and this is a 48.2 mile, 30.2 mile split of that. The new maximum V3 gap on I-84E is 53.1 miles from the start to Matamoras, PA. (From before the start, it's a 72.6 mile V3 gap...

No, not just the price point. AVs do not have drivers and that changes the availability model dramatically.

You keep repeating that as if it's a fact, when you're talking about something that doesn't exist anywhere yet. That you even bring Uber into it to me shows how stuck your thinking is.

OK, better information. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/06/business/economy/tariffs-solar-industry-china.html OK, so this _was_ related to the tariff-dodging. It doesn't mean that _all_ products from those countries will now have the tariffs, but that there's a stock of Chinese panels that we...

Megapacks are in an extremely competitive market. The cells and pack are the fundamentals and Tesla doesn't have anything special that would ultimately give them both a large market and sustained high margin. The big profit potential is in being the best in a large market that isn't yet...

In 2022 the injury rate per 100 million miles driven was 75. It is trending down. That is one injury per 1.33 million miles driven. At 13,500 miles/year that's 98.77 year of driving. So you could say that people have a 50-50 chance of getting an injury. Fatality rates are 50 times lower...

Is this specifically about level of tariffs or is this related to the indemnification against Chinese tariff dodging? There was an investigation into tariff-dodging by Chinese companies that made solar developers nervous, so the administration indemnified them for a period so they wouldn't be...

Cruise is something of a special case. Cruise had investment, but spending was cut back after it had the problems in California and it revealed the men behind the curtain. GM is possibly concerned about throwing good money after bad at this point, rather than simply giving up.

"Original" isn't really the correct term. NACS is essentially CCS with a Tesla plug. The ones open to NACS are (1) NACS-capable (some additional hardware). Tesla has only added this to V3 and V4, not any V2. (2) Opened up to other vehicles with NACS support and a manufacturer agreement with...

Level 3 doesn't allow you to sleep. That's Level 4. Realistically, I think you're not going to get Level 4 restricted highway. The problem is that you would not always be safe to drive if you are forced to divert off the highway.

Unless they changed it, Prius will not go if battery is dead. Most of the time the hybrid battery is used at start-up. Even if it could skip it and run off the engine, ultimately the 12V would die because it's charged from the hybrid battery using an DC-DC convertor

It could depend on what it thinks of light timing in the area. There are more lights to go through from 112, but speeds should pick up after 3 lights, while 113 requires 2 rotaries and right at a light at some lower speeds. Fun fact: Google Maps really doesn't like to turn left from the north...

Exit 113 used to be accessible from the east only. They made it accessible in 2013 from the west they built the new Maine General hospital and the two rotaries. I still doubt they'd have opened that up if it had been there before the Mall. I don't think it's built for heavy traffic.

Frankly, that person comes across very negatively. (I was going to use a different phrase). He was also wrong at one point, because he talked about not being compliant with NEVI's 150kW requirement, even though it meets that requirements easily. The problem is that it doesn't meet the Voltage...

Just rain? Any wind? Heavy rain will definitely increase consumption. Not sure what ABRP thinks happens, but you can set it to Heavy Rain and see.

HyunKias are relatively slow to charge at Superchargers, but certainly the Supercharger access adds reliability.

It was expected to be a particularly hot year due to the strong El Nino.

Area with most stalls indicated on permit fenced off. Also fenced off to the future new power pole. An excavator but no other signs of work. No Tesla equipment on site. The potential pull through stalls mentioned aren't fenced off, so possibly plans were changed or they'll do those later...

You have piqued my interest. I might go for a drive tomorrow..

I missed it last month so March and April 2024 numbers added to UK Solar photovoltaics deployment March: 63.0MW all in systems <= 50kW, 79.82% <= 10kW (March 2023: 102.2MW, 86.7MW <= 50kW, 82.41% of which <= 10kW) April: 66.8MW all in systems <= 50kW, 80.30% <= 10kW (April 2023: 70.7MW, all <=...

There are, although it has gradually reduced as states have given exceptions that allow resale of electricity at chargers. For some reason I specifically remember Kentucky changing its law. https://blinkcharging.com/blog/kwh-billing-and-new-ev-charging-tax-policies

Where a state only allows pricing per unit time, they vary the price based on power ranges. Bolt would always be burned by the width of the range, but others not so much. Site isn't yet on the Tesla app for Magic Dock users.

Some of the brands are owned by the same group. BYD has 4 brands, SAIC has 7, Geely has 4 we don't see in the USA. So knowing _actually_ how many different brands there are would be difficult.

It's mostly cloudy today where I live.

The numbers are based on the joke that is the Chinese test cycle. It's sad how these things are lapped up.

Hmm. _Maybe_. Tesla's approach differed from the other companies and shaped plans and policy. Tesla's success also helped California increase ZEV requirements for the 2016-2025 years, and it helped give the EU an obvious alternative after Dieselgate broke in September 2015. Crucially, it in...

I'm sure that Tesla employees will be happy to know that they don't need to work long hours any more because Musk says there's no need to rush on the energy transition.

@Guacahummus @corywright

They might have brought the Velite over but just about that time high tariffs got slapped on Chinese cars. It was around the time of The End of the Sedan and multiple companies had to adjust strategy. (GM did try to bring the Cadillac CT6 PHEV over and it was a sales disaster.)

I don't know. Maybe you can search for information, find out and tell us.

The headline is "solar division", but the article says "solar and battery" division, which essentially means Tesla Energy. Without a separate division for Supercharging, Tesla Energy is the natural home.

Well, as far as I am aware, the batteries themselves aren't responding in nanoseconds. The system may bid that fast, but the response times are in the 100s of milliseconds.

NEVI will add 2 sites in Portland, and there's an ElectrifyAmerica at the Scarborough Walmart. Everybody else will be well covered.d Not much point in adding new Magic Dock in such an isolated hotel location with the NACS changeover coming. N1 is a future NEVI that will replace the 1 50kW EVGo...
