I think that announcing that extended range was going down from 240 to 200 might not be a popular decision. NMC is probably locked in for initial production, but they might later switch the standard range to something like a 200 mile LFP, as LFP is generally cheaper.

Bundles could still keep things simple. Like lift kit, tire/wheel upgrade and running boards. Lots of people getting one of those will probably be getting all 3. They could have a bundle where you get the 3 and get 10% off. The issue with most automakers is they have like 3 trim levels, a base...

I expect that that box was put there more as an example than anything else.

Exactly. Unless the shop is something like a tire shop that only does tires, most slate work should be basic enough that just about any shop should be able to do it. Part of the shops probably won't do wraps though. Even at that, I'd expect that 200 to grow even just in the next year as more...

Don't bring this back to life

Since part of their strategy is to reuse parts as much as possible, I have to figure the configuration you want will be available. The cargo kit will probably use the same shell, and for full fleet cargo windows would be swapped for opaque panels. A mid gate is a bit trickier, but a cargo...

This is making me wonder what level of difficulty people are thinking things will be? I have to figure most accessory installs will be quite easy. Maybe the upgraded bumpers and such will need a few tools, and the SUV kits will probably be a lot easier with a helper, the wraps will take some...

200 so far qualified, specifically for the high voltage part. probably at least a year out from anyone even having a truck to take in for service. Those 200 are probably shops that already have training and certification to work on HV systems for other EVs. when I searched for shops that could...

That current text is easy to misread as including the level 2. I think I had real early on read it or something else as they were including level 1 only, then later others were saying both were included and I just assumed it had changed. Probably some searching here could find more detail

I could see them putting together a small number of accessory bundles, boxing them up together, and offering some discount, partly because of reduced packaging and shipping cost. From the sounds of the last video interview though, many of the accessories not part of safety testing like the SUV...

Well congratulations. You probably drive more efficiently than most(lighter foot), or on routes that happen to beat the averaged estimate. I actually beat my window sticker by quite a bit in one particular week, when I was commuting farther than normal, and most of the extra amount was a...

Like it or not, the current administration is highly unlikely to even contemplate expanding any EPA ratings. Putting together a testing regime and ratings would probably take some years, and would probably only be initialized by congressional action, so maybe in 8-10 years or so you might see...

The test of these systems is do they prevent more accidents and deaths than they cause. In most cases they have, with the possible exception of people who have gone full hands free and inattentive in cases where they shouldn't have, likely in violation of how a system is supposed to be used, for...

Looking closely, this does not say a 240 volt plug is included. 240 volt is mentioned after the included regular household outlet cable, so that may have introduced some confusion. One issue if they included a plug to plug into a "dryer outlet" is that that dryer outlet is probably rated for...

Some simple bundles might actually simplify the buying decision, because you then don't have to pick and choose your way through the menu, getting the half dozen or more items needed for a certain build. Some retail stores need to figure out that paradox of choice thing though, with an entire...

In winter, when leaving for work early, starting up the heat a few minutes before leaving would be great, especially when it gets cold enough for frost, and in the summer, that's when more range than a regular fob would be good, to start up the AC when clocking out of work.

That has been confirmed I believe. Even if you get to sit in it, that works to see how it works with your height, but the seats are off the shelf temporary ones, photos have shown significantly different seats on different prototypes, and I think these were all built before they hired a seat...

It would be nice if they at least added an accessory option to access that area from the cab in truck configuration. It would add more storage, and you could put things like small tool bags there, out of sight, where no one would think to look.

You just can't do like some have done to their regret in teslas and leave it all up to the car. Adaptive cruise control, which seems like it would just require software if the truck is going to have cameras for the soon to be mandated pedestrian detection and braking, means less accidents...

One consideration on using a "dryer outlet" or similar is that they are not made or rated for continuous use. At the very least it will need to be replaced with a commercial grade or RV type outlet. There are plenty of pictures of melted outlets since people started plugging EVs into them. If...
