Probably in April, during the Battery Day, Elon will announce the improvements achieved but in my opinion he will speak about dry electrolyte. It seems that solid state is still not reliable enough for EV. No doubt that Tesla is working on it.

I've seen the event on YouTube. Unfortunately I can't make it:confused:

Nice video. After 2 years of Model S, let me say: it depends!!! You will never (or a few times) get home with 0% battery and never need 100% the morning after. When you travel and charge at Tesla Supercharger stations, mostly you don't need to charge up to 100%, but you need the charge to reach...

Correct, if you have only the rear motor, the regen applies only on it. My Model S 85 worked like that.

My opinion is that solar doesn’t work for EVs. 1m2 of solar can provide 200W. In the best case, in 10 hours of sun, you will have 2kW. Assuming that you can use 2m2 on a vehicle, it’s 4kW. For the Cybertruck it means roughly 16km... maybe good for camping, but not for moving. It depends on the cost.

The "problem" with electric vehicles is that adding power is quite easy and cheap, but adding range is way more expensive.

Mmmm never heard something like this. be careful and keep us informed.

Air suspensions work very well in Model S and X. The Cybertruck should be even better. Of course it's not a sport car, but it will be much better in cornering than every other truck on the market.

Here the original news https://ww.electrek.co/2019/12/09/tesla-cybertruck-disruption-camper-trailer-industry/ During the unveil Elon said that CT will have a lot of possibilities

It is exactly like that. when the Semi was unveiled, Elon guaranteed 1 million miles

Yes, you can do it

We can have 3 phase but it's very uncommon. I have 6kW mono-phase and it worked good for me. I had 2 Model S 85 and using % is just a question of time to be accustomed to (maybe a couple of weeks). Even if you know where you are going, set the nav. This is the best tool to know the state of the...

I don't think so. They are still offering free supercharging for Model S and X but only for the first owner. Model 3 and Y don't come with free supercharging and considering the price of the CT, It should be the same.

Usually charge happens overnight so at home you don't need much power. My advice is to think in kW and not in miles charged. Miles are not reliable, they depend on how and where you drive. I always used % battery indicator in my Model S instead of distance. Nav will tell you if you need to...

I don't think that changing battery is to be considered an option. For 2 reasons: Firstly, If something goes wrong, Tesla batteries are split in smaller sections, so you can only change the damaged part. Second, Tesla batteries are very reliable now. There's people with more than 400.000mi with...
