It is hideous, I wouldn't be caught dead driving that thing except maybe on Halloween wearing a C3P0 costume

Telsa reminds me a lot of china, bunch of propaganda to hide the truth, and people too scared to speak the truth for fear of showing how badly they regret owning one.

Even the article about the one with 900,000 miles or whatever the guy wouldn't say how much it cost to get to that point but it was obviously massive. How much Telsa paying him to keep quiet?

I think that describes most of the world, not just China.

I think the cyber truck is awesome, all I see when I drive around is 90% of the mid size suvs, car, half tons all basically look the same, something different is great I’d drive one in a blink.

Yeah, like when your in Hawaii and all the hot chicks are walking on the beach, they all look the same, string bikini's, thongs, tans, then a fat ugly one walks out, really stands out from the crowd.

How much time involved to charge that much in a month ? And how many KM pit on ?

 

[jhurkot]

It’s revelstoke and back 1200km and then all my daily driving in between so I would say 1500-1600km. All the home and “other” charging is just when it’s sitting around the house so that doesn’t cost any time. Supercharging is definitely more expensive than charging at home. Most of my supercharging sessions are 10-25minutes. Supercharging above 80% is not economical because the speed slows down a lot and you pay by the minute.

So your saying it cost you $157 in electricity and would have cost you $394 in gas to travel 1500-1600 km?

At $1.50 a liter for gas give or take, that is 262 liters of fuel. My half ton chevy is averaging about 15 liters per 100 km winter driving. Doing some quick math I can travel 1746 km on 262 liters of fuel, so Tesla's computer is saying you would convert over to less than 15 liters per 100 km on their fuel computer?

My wifes Nissan Murano in averaging 10.5 liters per 100 km winter driving. So if you compare your costs of $157.00 for electrical costs for 1500-1600 kms, her gas costs for the same 1500-1600 km would be about $236 at $1.50 per liter. Based on those numbers your actual savings is about $83.00 per month?

You're doing it wrong, you have to do tesla math. Not paying for gas = vehicle is free to drive.

I’m just guessing. If you want I can reset it on feb1 and give you the exact number at the end of the month. Here is my last trip broken down with definite numbers.




638km
130kWh
130kWh x $0.20 = $26

Just got back to revelstoke. First time I’ve done it in the winter with a single charge stop.

 

[catalac]

That’s impressive if I read about $23 to get 593km? My bmw on premium would have been $100. F350 and trailer behind ~$150 for 600km.

how many Kwh on tap with an 80% charge?

About 53 kWh. I have about 66 kWh usable and the pack size is 74 kWh. The newest 3 and y have 82 kWh packs which is why they have a little extra range.

So who pays for the supercharging? John Q Public out of tax revenue?
