This is true, but call ahead and make sure they allow it. Many rural RV capable campgrounds (the ones with useful plugs) flat out will not allow you to charge an EV. They won't listen to any explanations on limiting charging rates or safety. I have had two in the last month, while literally...
I use a similar generator for this purpose when boondocking with our trailer. Off a single 8 gallon tank I see about 10% range increase and estimated the end-to-end efficiency at about 4-5%. I think it is very optimistic to assume you will get ~60kWh on this setup with 17 gallons of fuel. I...
Be careful with this. I confronted a man for swerving and pretending to try to hit me with his truck recently. When I got out of the car and tried to take a picture of his license plate (I was pretty sure the dash cam wouldn't get it clearly) he assaulted me, shoving me against a wall and...
For the stock CT Wheels/tired I carry a plug kit and I have an air compressor in the lower bed storage area. I have had to use the plug kit once already.
When I am out in the sticks I run my 18" off-road wheels/tires where I bought a 5th exact copy in case I have a sidewall rip or similar...
I went through the same thing on the previous release. Got super aggressive, even in chill mode and the steering wheel was doing this really weird twitch back and forth like the control loop for it was out of tune. Also was suddenly no longer able to keep its lane.
Seems better after this...
what is your SN Range? I wonder if the fact I roll in a custom drive setting with Beast acceleration and higher suspension height changes the amount of this I fell. My daily setting on Custom is: Beast, Higher (~10"), Focussed. I do this because I fell the truck handles a little better at the...
FWIW, I've left my Beast unattended in the Idaho backcountry many times without anyone messing with it. I've seen a few folks stop to check it out and take photos. But, It's been left at a trailhead for a week without harm here.
I have heard Kyle talk about this for a while but I'm not sure I notice it in my CB (SN ~15000). I have experienced this in front wheel drive cars before so I am familiar with the concept, but I'm wondering if there was some resolution the rolled in at some point to reduce this effect. Maybe...
My try motor is a May 2024 build and does not show in the recall. However, I had the exact same failure as Kyle at about 2000 miles. And under pretty much the same conditions. As far as I know, they only replaced the inverter that failed.
Something isn't right here. I have a beast and drive the crap out of it. 5200 miles, I've hit 127mph, multiple launches, drive in beast mode all the time, multiple trips towing a 6500 lb trailer, off-roading, drifting sessions in dirt lots... I'm enjoying the truck. My tires look close to...
I charged my model 3 LR for 6 years to 80% daily. It is still within 3% of original range (99th percentile on Recurrent). 80% likely won't hurt anything.
I've towed my 31ft/6500 lb Airstream quite a bit now. On backroads (45-60mph) I'm getting 160-180 miles. On Highways I'm getting ~150 miles. Wind drag really matters, which is why we went with the Airstream over a box travel trailer. Your mileage may vary.
Pull through chargers are a must...
If you tow a lot the Silverado is a good truck. However, keep in mind (in addition to what you've said):
1)The CT achieves 80% the range on 60% of the battery, so the efficiency of the CT is much better. This translates to lower costs of charging.
2) The Fast charging speeds on the SIlverado...
