EV owners of today and tomorrow

New update to the Cybertruck breaking the hitch off. They subjected the F 150 to dropping on the hitch.
"
The Ford did not lose it's hitch. Tesla needs to reinforce the giga casting with steel inserts or "something".

That F150 just saw 100x the stress the Cyber Truck did, and nothing failed. I'm actually really damn impressed!

Also, liked how he included a post about a CT that lost its hitch pulling a trailer and was subsequently rear ended by said rogue trailer.

IMO, women in general like EV's for the sheer simplicity of operation.

That would get tomatoes thrown at you in my house!

How much does Tesla charge for the .50 cal option?

This Machine Gun-Equipped Cybertruck Might Just Be the Worst Technical Ever

Tesla missed a killer opportunity to tap into the international arms market.

I'd hate to go into battle with that . Where the hell do I charge it?

Hot temps, reduced range.

Record-breaking heat taking a toll on electric vehicles

Recent extreme temperatures in the Panhandle have caused several issues for those with electric vehicles.

Remember 6-7 months ago, "cold temps, reduced range". Dumping power into ac or heat is going to take a toll on battery.

Saw my first Cyber Truck in Eugene today.
Personal opinion, is these are ugly as sin.
Much bigger than I thought. And every online pic, they must have spent time polishing the SS exterior. This one wasn't dirty, but looked dull. Like it had oxidized or something.
They are also much wider than I expected.

I expect it will be at least 2030 before I get serious about a Cyber truck.

Every Ford Model Powered By The 5.4L V8 Engine - SlashGear

The 5.4-liter Ford Triton V8 engine doesn't exactly have a stellar reputation, but it powered cars and trucks for long time. They can't all be bad, right?

I bought our 2010 F-150 6 years ago with 205,000, mi on it and now it has 225,000 mi on it and it's an awesome engine. The last two model years they went to the mustang high volume oil pump and that cut down the problems with the valve train running dry and failing over time. I gave $7,600 for it and it's going to be a while before I can find a cyber truck for $7,600 I expect.

Not as much as you may think if you have a Tesla with a heat pump system.

Takes electricity to run a heat pump, for the battery and cabin. In cooling mode it’s nothing more than an air conditioner.

I heard Tesla figured out how to run their heat pumps on pixie dust or Taylor Swift music. So that zero impact on batteries or range, summer or winter extremes.
