The Slate will probably MSRP for the mid to high 20's. Add some must have options like the large battery pack, power windows, etc. and it climbs quickly. I don't see many buyers choosing the standard 150 mile battery pack which equates to roughly 110-120 of "real world" range.

Reservations say it all. VW needs to drop the all electric version due to low demand and simply manufacture the EREV version. 500 mile range solid state batteries are still not a reality yet. The BEV option can be added later as battery cell technology advances.

The pitiful 150/240 mile battery range, lack of AWD and questionable value proposition are going to hurt sales. I do love the back to basics approach however. Buyers can purchase a brand new 5-seat Maverick crew cab hybrid pickup w/PW and PDL for $28,145 AND get an easy 500 miles of range with...

I just finished watching Jays review. Nothing but positive things to say. Fun fact: the left and right taillight assemblies use one part # for both sides of the truck.

Per Google… Yes, Tesla has updated the Power Conversion System (PCS) in the Cybertruck, transitioning from the initial unit to a revised PCS2 to improve reliability and address charging issues. This new system, often installed during service, supports the truck's 48V architecture and manages...

Tesla has confirmed that it is now producing both the anode and cathode of its 4680 battery cells using a dry-electrode process, marking a key breakthrough in a technology the company has been working to industrialize for years...

The styling of the Model S is over 13 years old and it still looks awesome. It looks like the Cybertruck is going to be Tesla's halo vehicle after the S/X are discontinued.

I doubt it because of Elon's huge ego. Discontinuing the 2 year old CT would be Elon admitting defeat. Tesla wants the Cybertruck to become an autonomous delivery pickup truck of the future.

Good riddance. The low volume X and S needed the 10+ year old platforms to be refreshed from the ground up to remain competitive. It simply didn't make sense from a financial point of view. Also, the market for luxury sedans is virtually dead in America. SUV's and trucks are what's selling...

Thanks for sharing. Was the root cause a defective 12v battery?

Like many others I am waiting with baited breath for the tear down results. It‘s probably going to be one of the major news stories for all of 2026. Being the first to report on the reverse engineering findings will be a major news scoop.

It took Edison 2,774 attempts to arrive at the bamboo filament that made Edison's lightbulb a commercial success. Did Donut just discover the solid state bamboo equivalent?

Once a true battery cell breakthrough occurs that‘s scalable and affordable all current cells are going to become obsolete. It’s going to change virtually everything the way we know it. Imagine a future where your BEV gets 400 - 600 miles of “real world“ range, a cell phone stays charged for...

The hubless Verge motorcycle is going to sell for reverse engineering purposes only. I can’t wait for the tear down results. This is either going to be the battery cell breakthrough that the world has been waiting for or there is a huge catch to the almost unbelievable claims.
