Depending on trim, 98 to 131 kWh for Lightning.Very good point. That's in line with the Hummer lineage, which was a major gas guzzler. Maybe the Hummer EV with that much batter power has a significant carbon footprint.
Have the design specs for the Cybertruck been released, and does anyone know the projected size of the Cybertruck battery pack? The F150 Lightning?
My Model 3 gets about 10-15% less mileage in the cold vs. a day like today.
A colleague just took a VP position at Redwood. Redwood CEO is a co founder of Tesla.
What’s the point having a 4 door sedan go 0 to 60 in 2 seconds? It’s all a gimmick to sell cars/trucks. Hummer has a long waitlis. It’s a Production issue, not demand.
More important than the stupidity of the yoke is this point:
Good luck.
So you think electrifying the Hummer is a wise choice?
Psssh..who needs practicality when you can drive a pseudo military vehicle?
Yes.. yes I do.
this is my concern as well...but there are others in this thread that don't think that this is a major concern, or that the demand for EV's is going to drive behavioral and investment changes in the infrastructure on its own.
Yeah, you're right. I see stranded EVs everywhere.
agreed. but will the power companies do it in time to keep up with EV adoption?
A nationwide charging network will take WAY longer to build than anyone thinks. Biden’s $5B in 5 years will do nothing. Plus, what happens to all of the ICE vehicles? As the transition to EV occurs, do the values of ICE vehicles collapse? EVs are like 9% of sales so does the 91% driving off lots right now end up on the scrap heap in 5-10 years?
Of course, GM knows they can’t do volume anytime soon so they roll out the high end low production model. Honestly, they are coping Tesla.
At a time when car prices are the highest in history, supply is apparently near all time lows, and demand is off the charts, a cargo ship with 1000 Porsches/VWs mysteriously catches fire?! Something doesn’t add up. A cargo ship carrying $100M+ in automobiles doesn’t have a fire suppression system?Yes, it’s true. Bunch of unhappy folks on the Porsche forums. I feel for them.
But Porsche will make it right for them all. Back a few years or so, after they had stopped the 991.2 GT2RS production and had switched the line over to 992 production, they had a car carrier capsize.
Porsche restarted the production line for the 991.2 model, which surely cost them a fair amount to do. Because otherwise, the folks whose cars were on that ship would’ve had to wait at least 4 more years, probably longer (the GT2RS doesn’t get built nearly as early in a generational cycle as other GT or ordinary 911s).
The downside for those of us seeking a build allocation for GT cars is that dealer ADMs are going to skyrocket now. Basically the RS models are nearly unobtainium already - this just makes things worse.
Agree with everything you said. My problem is with the vehicle choice and I doubt they'll hit their low volume targets. 9,000lbs?? The battery pack alone weights more than a compact car. 47 mpg(equivalent). I imagine those specs don't excite the typical, environmentally conscious EV buyer.
but it excites enough of the crypto and stonks bros...and there would be enough to spend big $ on that behemoth.
I’ve seen that. Some good points but nothing to prevent me from buying it.
While not exactly common, shipboard fires do occur. When the news first surfaced, a bunch of folks in the Rennlist 992 GT3/GT3RS forum starting posting about it and there were around 3-4 photos of ships on fire that weren't the ship in question. Which shows that such things do happen.
I get my news from Twitter, and everything on Twitter is true because they filter out misinformation. It must be true.
