CATL has a new battery already in trucks being tested in China. it has a claimed 500 watt hour per kilogram. This will allow VTOL and aircraft use. 1 mile per second charging rate. The leading NCA 2170 is ~260 watt hour per kg. This is amazing it is double the current NCM NCA...

Enjoyed that interview. Looking forward to the testing in space to prove it out. After watching that, it almost seems we were mis educated in grade school and through high school. The military dark black projects probably were where this scientist is now... right after world...

They are something like 83" track width to the tire outside edges. Really long wheelbase as well.

Which makes the Cummins straight six the winner :) Sorry, couldn't resist- that was just too well set up.

IIANM Every EV owner on this thread has at least one or more ICE vehicles, most have tractors as well. ' Want all be all EV?' No, but it is a great utilitarian rig for me. Having both and living with them does give a person some references to compare. Lately the EV has been sitting...

Can you name a modern ICE vehicle that has not been in an accident with a motorcycle? I have been riding a long time. In the early 1980's I lived in Phoenix and the number batted around then was that a full time motorcycle rider had about 3 years average before being involved in an...

On my X 500 I finally had to just take a blade into the local JD dealer to get the right blade figured out. 3 19" standard blades was~ $45 IIRC

Odd, mine displays them just fine, and a Tesla has mirrors as well. I don't worry about Tesla's hitting me on my bike any more than any other brand.

Ha Ha, Gale you likely have a bigger portfolio than me.:) Didn't think I could drive my 3500 truck with manual transmission after breaking the hip, which is partially why I originally ordered the MY. I will keep the wheels for now. ps. I am doing like you, and letting the SS grow...

The smaller diameter rims with taller sidewalls do ride better. I made a round trip to town last night for burgers and managed under 250 watt hour per mile with the 18's again. I was not getting those numbers with the heavy ubers and rubber band expensive tires. I just can't bring...

O Once you get some miles on the ocean Extreme, you may want to check into some smaller diameter wheels and taller sidewall tires. I am seeing an efficiency increase going from 21" to 18" and also more sidewall for pot hole protection. If the 22" wheels weigh several pounds more...

Interesting commentary by an EV charging station installers view of Tesla supercharger team cuts.

????? Wonder what led to the roll , they were moving... Rivian gets more $$$. 827 million Fuddy will like this. EV's are less to maintain but because they are driven less than ICE cars the cost per mile during the first 3 years is considerably higher.

American workers and Company. Over 50% of most Teslas is made in house and North America. Advantage of a vertically integrated company. 90% of parts sourced in North America (65% US/CAD, 25% MX) and Manufactured in TX – Cybertruck may tie the #1 spot on the American Made Index. Model Y is...

Probably like Tesla, with some supplied wheels you can run them with "Aero Covers" for better efficiency, or Sans covers for a different look.

Can't wait to see it. Congrats. I think it would have been great if Tesla put solar cells in the roof glass of the Y's.

Whoa... The download was happening while you were driving? Drove the last drive today on FSD. I hope the downdate is automatic tonight... I have my first problem with the Y. The tire pressure sensor info is not updating. I don't think it is the aftermarket senders I put in the 18"...

Last day of the free FSD for me. I have let it drive quite bit and while it has faults, I do think Tesla is well on their way to fully functional non supervised driving. Maps need improvement. Cameras need some type of auto clean for bad weather and additional sensors are needed as well...

Yep, get Longer not shorter. I can't even fit a 5 foot brush hog and my 55 HP tractor completely on a 20 foot and that is with the bucket placed on top of the fifth wheel... Pay a bit more out of the gate and get that extra length.

link did not work for me this looks like the video 257 watt hour per mile @ 70 MPH , liking that.

In Grumpy's defense, (Tesla owners) are always one update away from 2 steps forward or possibly 2 steps back. But eventually definitely advancing and improving.

I was reading up on CATL's new battery and It is going to be used in some Tesla's and some OEMs EV's as well. I think it will drop EV prices another price notch across the board, and make it possible to be profitable for the OEM's EV's. Even when OEM's can make money on EV's they will...

If they ever buy more Teslas I bet they drive a hard bargain if and when. That had to "Hertz" a lot, when Tesla cut the prices so drastically and Hertz IIANM paid full or near full prices.

Yeah the Red Fir can burn HOT. I had some from near the trunk and was also a lot of pitch in it. I put 'a bit much' in the Catalytic Blaze king one winter night and had to stay up to baby sit it. edit did more clean up and loaded the trailer a bit heavier. I remembered I still had my...

That is great, I think that the price is a really Good deal and I also prefer the exterior and probably interior of the Fisker to my Y. I almost ordered the Volvo XC 40 because of wanting a more standard looking vehicle, but the Tesla has its advantages as well.

Well I take Issue right there... I refuse to believe Fuddy is an electronic tech. I am willing to believe, like me he is an electronicS technician. :)

Harbor freight same as Fuddy, works good.

340-375 Watt hour per kilometer - that is thirsty It was cold outside though. Do you happen to know what the watt hour average for just hiway cruising in summer ? Most model Ys average about 280- 310 watt hours per mile for a full year averaged I enjoy Bjorn's video's

Don't think it could be a CR 600, the CR 500 was their big open class motocrosser. Maybe the XR 600?

Two new batteries for the 3500 diesel. Made it back with a load of wood yesterday . Tried to restart it to be ready for today and dead again, left a charger on the batteries all night and it made 1/2 a revolution and dead again. New batteries installed. Have to blame myself on...

The idea is that ICE (gas/diesel) prices take some very non linear jumps and drops, and at least locally always changing, the one way it makes sense to compare with my other vehicles on what it costs to drive any particular day. today: diesel now $4.00 premium $4.76 regular...

Pond pump , for the wife's little pond. She said make Shure it pumps at least 500 gallons an hour. Heh heh, Ok dear, I'll be right back. Struck out at home Depot.. off to the HF store, Mmm here is one that should work.... 4500 gallon per hour and 23ft head lift. Yep.:)

Hope they upgraded the front axle. TFL snapped the A.D.D. -. sliding disconnect drive collar like a twig on the new 2024 Tacoma 4x4 TRD Leaving them with only rear drive. Toyota repaired it but not convinced they upgraded the obviously weak parts. Maybe the Hybrid has a different front...

I think it would be disingenuous to let the battery be fully charged and use that as the combined MPG number. They would have to run the truck until it is forced into running the generator and start the test there as well to have a good idea of how it would perform in the opposite use...

edited: to admit my mistake I would knock it well down the list as a reviewer and use the previous 2020 COVID peak pricing and substitute are $72,190 price for the 2024 MYP article specs which are actually from 2020. That appears to be an oversight

I have been wondering the same. The truck could pick up a lot of the wasted energy with regen braking in hilly country, but still has to carry the battery weight at all times . I guess the V6 they are using has a very flat torque curve down to almost 1400 RPM so that will help Also If...

Heavily subsidized? Compared to who? Instead of tax breaks which most electric MFG's get, lets look at Loans Tesla paid back loans With interest and did it early. GM Still owes the tax payers around 14 Billion. That is based the payback on stock valued at over $125 and it is at...

Heh Heh that is in the same fun category as winding it up on a large 3 point tiller while you are mixing in Horse manure while making some planting soil. Time to run the pressure washer for 1/2 an hour before even thinking about removing it. Unfamiliar field mowing I managed to find...

After pushing over a weeping willow and digging it out, I noticed a big trail of hydraulic fluid from the old 550 Ford TLB. Checked the rear axle and was low almost 3 gallons. Filled back up and parked it putting cardboard underneath. O OH ripped brake rod seal. Luckily I had another one...

T That is a good thing to fix, One thing Tesla does do in the software is to cut propulsion power if the brake is also pressed. With such powerful vehicles things can happen Very quickly.

Finally, some Push back on the EPA.

Tesla just Increased Model Y prices no more rebates or price drops for a few days RWD $3600 Long Range $5000 Performance $ 5300 Still a couple grand less than what they were a year ago.

Wyoming or Montana by chance? I don't disagree we ( family members) have several acres south of Jackson Hole and I don't know if I could take the Model Y there and back. I did figure that we could all take motorcycles though need to plug in the address in the car and see what it lays...

Well obviously they would not place a charging station where there is not a grid supply, at least not yet. Tesla could put large solar canopies up and c install back up storage (virtual grid) on site as well if the grid loads need to be spread out. Texas and Australia are beginning...

Very similar KWH pricing. I think our town has one charging station location with 2 hookups?. Never used it. The next might be 50 miles in any direction, not sure, since the car has been 100% charged @ home and was able to make a 220 mile trip at night raining, Hard. Heat, lights, wipers...

My motorcycle can get 45 MPG but with the above gas prices the EV can easily more than double the motorcycles MPG as far as fuel cost. Something to be said for the freedom a bike gives that is intangible/priceless. The EV was expensive so I put full coverage on it , 1200 bucks a year...

Tesla has ramped up charge station installations. They are now prefabbing the chargers "up to 12" and setting the entire group in place including the concrete. This modular "PSU" can be installed and up and running, open for business in 4 days. 2300 stall installations in the US so far...

Tore a seal on the right rear axle brake rod (Ford 550 TLB). Cheap part but sure makes for a leaky mess until the old seal is replaced. Lost about 2 gallons of Hydraulic fluid since I last checked the rear axle. Ooops

Say that happens, the old model owners are still able to use the cars as they have been. The new super batteries will attract a new crowd with longer range no fire hazard maybe a bunch of personal VTOL's as well. I hope it happens. Yes it will drive down trade in value of my older EV but...

If it drops to 150 , I will buy again. But right now the small amount of Tesla stock I have right now is the worst performer out of anything. Nothing ventured....nothing lost? :)

There is another reason, and that is Tesla still pays for Very little advertising. Compare that with say GM which spent 3.25 Billion in 2022 just on US advertising. TV Networks and Magazines etc. know who helps pad the bottom line and who does not.

Heh Heh, I welded that tine back together with 7018 right after that and am still using it.

Just a thought/question, Is the Top link already in the least sensitive position assuming this has draft control setting ability? Can you take it out of draft and just run the 3 point in position control setting It sure picked up the implement quickly as soon as some resistance was transmitted.

Jim Wangers the ad exec also had a LOT to do with it. If Pontiac had also been allowed to sell a Ram Air 4 headed 428 /455 which Wangers put in a 68 Firebird and then went street racing with the test car which from accounts was laying waste to everything it ran against it would be a very...

I have to agree with the hybrid theory- for mid to large SUV's and especially trucks. People do tow and travel long distance. I have been ticked at GM for years continually missing the opportunity to upsize the Volt drivetrain and build some very efficient Rigs that can haul and tow long...

Agree, I think those two gentlemen did a great Job and put their hearts into Tesla. Time for a change, for them I imagine. Working for Tesla OR SpaceX is probably more demanding than when President Kennedy set 1969 as the deadline to land and return safely from the moon. 450000 people to...

8 year Rohan Patel and 16 year Drew Baglino leaving Tesla... If I was equating Tesla to ICE cream the next few months choice would be Rocky Road. ps. Still happy with the car.

Not sure they can without a transaxle because of individual hydraulic motors. If you activate both levers doesn't it force both rear wheels to turn anyway, so no actuatable locker needed anyway/ Maybe a reason to buy a rider. That said I originally wanted a z turn. Wife said no way I...

The old Yanmar's are cramped as well. I can barely fit on FIL's 2310D can't even move my feet. It would not surprise me if it is still running in 50 years. I was impressed with the Branson 3015 when I test drove it , Lots of open floor space and a comfortable suspension seat standard.

Another reason to maybe get a mower with a rear locker.

. Heck I bought the 1967 Ford 3000 diesel from the Original owners son. The engine had never been touched and ran good, they did have the original dealer rebuild the powershift transmission though. I checked the dash hour meter and it had stopped at almost 5000 hours, the guy...

Heck mine offered more than they hinted they would sell the consignment for !... In the end It was still a bargain. All in for under $2600 JD's needing a wash and some plastic repair hid a good condition X model for a reasonable price. Already put another 100 hours on it and would buy...

Gale New TMC FSD discussion Similar experiences, with some limits and some quirkiness.

Magna is a solid company from everything I have read. If they will just supply parts and basic software no reason for the Fisker vehicles not to last a long time.

I had two interventions today. Once having the car navigate to Walmart, the car wobbled between lanes and I finally forced the wheel to get in the turn lane. It also was hugging the center line with oncoming and I disengaged to bias to the right. I sent in the voice comments. What is odd is...

I thought that it only applied to Tesla's that were traded in to Tesla when buying a New(er) Tesla, at which point Corporate removed the FSD ownership the Original Owner Purchased and or applied it to the new vehicle. In a case where the original owner sells to a private party I thought it went...

Already an updated supervised FSD, that was quick. Still on 2024.3.10 today Do Notes say what is new or improved?

Early on I thought it was a John Deere GP, and when Ford became a sponsor the model F Fordson replaced it. Also originally Henry Ford had to sell Ford tractors as Fordson because William Baer Ewing marketed a junky tractor as a Ford before Henry got around to it

Nice looking rig. Are you concerned about the stability of Fisker as a company? https://insideevs.com/features/715614/fisker-ocean-repair-spare-parts-diagnosis/

Not all but most , sounds like it is just a cover or piece of rubber.? Either way, Tesla was obviously concerned enough to hold up deliveries until the vehicles have this new part.

Yep BUT I did fudge the numbers in the Tesla phone ap. Our KWH charges are .10- .116 from the utility and All the calculations are done @.12 that was entered in the phone ap, so I built in a bit of safety margin on charger losses, battery heating, etc. Maybe not enough. I should get an...

Edit Saw Oosik's post on the everything attachments thread today, he said gas is over $5.19 a gallon in eastern Washington. This may not last, and Hope it doesn't , the majority , by far of my vehicles are gas and diesel, will be feeling the crunch as well. With that said, the EV is...

Look into a new Commander with powershift. Maybe the wife will buy it without telling you, Hopefully it doesn't get delivered to the neighbor instead...

I will check it out. ps. If I was perusing used Teslas, I would definitely buy a 2020 or newer with the FSD package already included... ( as in purchased by the previous owner).

Yep a lot of 'run what you brung' if they are in good running condition.

We had a 1960's CASE Terratrac 750? with a hoe and a clamshell bucket. It was a very handy machine. Good Luck to the OP on the Boxwood removal, tight spaces complicate things for sure.

If gas prices keep climbing , there will be more EV sales. OPEC is keeping inventories low. WTI is around 85 bucks a barrel now. See a trend for summer here.

It has finally warmed up to 50-60's and I pulled the 21" uberturbine wheels off and have been trying out the 18" Hankook SUV ev low priced tires. Let the car drive itself most of the time and was pleasantly surprised with the watt hour of 249 which does include some in town driving...

Check your phone Tesla app under upgrades: Tempting but no, not until taking a long trip with the Y for me. Buying /renting FSD would really kill the MPG savings for me. That $100 can go in a muscle cars gas tank.

That's what I get for responding before reading through all of the posts:)

It is low Voltage until the connection is made. Then self checks are made, before it applies higher voltage and current for charging. KWH is ramped up smoothly as well. I guess if you continue to stand there holding a locked in cord during a lightning storm there could be increased...

At least there was no repeating *** --- ***

Tesla Light show en masse... :) These folks are dedicated. I would rather be doing some wrk with my tractor.

Actually I think you are right. That is a Big hurdle. Tesla wants drivers of their cars to help do the testing and I have no problem with that. But as you point out, to truly be full level 5 Tesla would have to take on responsibility and of fault if an accident happens that is...

I doubt Flyinghigh or his dad feels that way concerning the TYM they bought, in fact I bet he wishes they could have the decade old Branson back that was traded in.

It takes some planning with an EV. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/tesla-supercharging-during-solar-eclipse.313554/

I think Tesla is getting a great deal of new data on roads in areas they never have before with the free use of FSD. I took a trip to town yesterday and set the navigate to destination and after getting on the actual paved road engaged it. This was the first time I had 0 interventions and...

My first thought looking at the pic of the unmounted FEL's was I wonder if they could be made to fit small Yanmar and Kubota's that don't have one. Probably going to be sold for near scrap prices.

I thought Tesla quit doing that because of all of the negative comments. I just checked inventory of new Y Tesla's, they list the price they also list probable savings and the tax credit price. Before buying my car they did list only the 'probable savings' price and people complained and...

That T REX is a beast. I really wanted a Trackhawk but even used was a bit more than I could budget.

Same MPG wise For me, it is the Model Y then Kawasaki Z900RS @44 MPG and then the 3500 4x4 6 speed manual Cummins RAM at ~20MPG unloaded hiway. It has by far the longest range before stopping for fuel.

gee, I must be doing something wrong... spent $322 on electricity and travelled 7225 miles which looks to be over 78 MPG @ $3.50 a gallon gas. today locally regular is at least $3.85 a gallon. I do get Too many Kubota's point and agree with him, truly rural with the distances that need to...

I may have misquoted the brand- thinking it is Yard Machines splitter has a full I beam. I switched the Briggs to full synthetic within the first couple hours run time.

I have a 25 ton Yardmachines? Briggs with 12 years on it now ,Unbelievably still always starts within 4 pulls. I wore out the pump coupler and replaced it for $7 . Been a great splitter , not the fastest but it has split anything I have needed.

Forever? Well I would pick a late 1960's to mid 80's Utility tractor from any of the big manufacturers. The popular JD, Ford, Massey models and some others are still going to be serviceable for a very long time. I am Not convinced that is true for some of todays CUT's as far as getting...

Or we could go back to living without indoor plumbing... With all of the non occupant drones flying something had to be done. Government and corporate overreach are always going to be a problem.

"Tesla CEO Elon Musk took to X (formerly Twitter) to refute the report, saying that "Reuters is lying (again)."" Well, If there is anything that will guarantee Elon will get something done, it is to tell him he can't- or it is going to be just to hard to accomplish. Good Job Reuters. New...

It was the left lift/boom cylinder. I did not have the loader at the lowest height with cylinder rods bottomed. Was digging with the regular bucket angled down 1st gear weighted wheels and 1100lb on the 3 point lots of traction. I have also blown out a grapple lid hose one time trying to...

I don't know about that model, but do recall a new Mahindra buyer that had a hydro failure and IIRC he waited for near a year for a replacement Hydro pump to arrive. I would definitely nail down all major hydro replacement costs and time to delivery before taking a chance.

The self driving vehicle software is only one version of what is taking place right now. Currently NASA has been working on UTM- Unmanned Traffic Management / UAS Unmanned Aircraft System for years now and it is advancing. UTM 1-3 are in the books UTM 4 high density urban use is well...

Had to look for a Polaroid of mine 1978? The view for some small block Chevies. I also ran a Tri power on it for a while . Nos. matching 4 speed 400. I tried to buy it twice. First time the guy selling changed his mind and his dad bought it. 2 weeks later i get a call asking if I still...

I still like my old cars as well, was watching a 67 GTO like mine from high school bid to well over 100k this morning. Now that is holding value. That is scary. "Tesla CEO Elon Musk took to X (formerly Twitter) to refute the report, saying that "Reuters is lying (again)."" Well, If...

I think they base it on how many times you read their articles, actually they just want me to register with email. So no it is not a paywall, tired of all of the spam that goes with registration to view content and 16 sets of terms and conditions.

Edit: No paywall. There only seems to be one source for this statement that the car is being dropped. I saw the comment that Tesla internal communications were used. What was the date on the memos?? No other sources have confirmed this as fact that I can find. Elon has previously said...

No, But oil/gas extraction / fracking can be linked to some earthquakes "but it has also been linked to larger earthquakes. The largest earthquake known to be induced by hydraulic fracturing in the United States was a M4 earthquake in Texas." ps. Hard to make or do much of any modern life...

The Car is performing far better than my Tesla stock right now. Yep down a few bucks.

From the article: the ever-broadening realization, even amongst its fans, that Tesla really is just a car company. ?? That is a bit of an Overstatement. Tesla has leading charging station tech/manufacture including soon to be put into production, 96% efficient wireless charging...

On days the forest fire smoke blows in it is a very nice feature to have. Nothing to miss until it is needed, and then it saves the driver (in this case me) from breathing all of that smoke. One of the included features of some new EV's. ps. there is a 5000+ foot hill at the center of the...

The New Sucker fish Volt?

It is All I could find on the Lordstown Endurance trucks already built, and the crusher statement was in the comments... Bankruptcy etc. etc. what a complete disaster: https://www.topspeed.com/lordstown-endurance-electric-pickup-truck-future-bankruptcy/

Mine is about 70% charged by hydroelectric. If I was on the east coast probably be about the same % in coal. with citations Are Electric Cars Worse For The Environment? How to make 100% waste... Design , build never sell and then??? Probably a great around town work truck. In a...

Well this is not good for the environment since they will all probably be crushed.

Tesla has pushed the ranges down on the MYP on the EPA tests 303 down to 279 miles No real difference in the battery / motor build. Just a more realistic estimate. Between 2021 and 2023, the Tesla Model Y Performance was rated at 303 miles of EPA Combined range. Then, it moved down to...

Fuddy look up tonight's 'The Daily Show' with John Stewert's take on AI ... some bad language but an eye opener... What it means to be human is at risk.

Wouldn't some of that be offset by some of the California buy an EV rebate?

I am ok with paying it, but do pay registration on other ICE vehicles already. Oh well the roads are getting better here.

[ how many miles the EV has driven and then taxed on that amount of miles. Also I read where most EV’s weigh considerably more due to the weight of the batteries and these cars eat tires like candy. Tesla specific but many responders. In our state it is an additional $140 fee every year...

that is the wild thing about Neural nets. Now that Tesla is not compute restrained by getting rid of 300000+ lines of code. The learning rate and therefore updated AI brain will accelerate. Interesting video, but she almost sounds like a paid stock promoter for both NVIDIA and Tesla. This...

Interesting... Tesla did send my car the 30 day trial update with end to end AI FSD Beta. Going to try it out since it is free. With our rural 2 lane roads that has been my biggest complaint with the autopilot. Always wanted a bias adjustment since the car does run to close to the...

Sure enough I put a FAST Shipping item in the cart GM102 - EA 102" Multi Speed HD Rotary Tiller $8,152.00 It really does seem like the order page is functional. I put a hat in the cart a few weeks back and it was also still there.
