oh yeah - range is the king for sure, or should we say the battery capacity (KWh) is the king?
people who argue they don't meed 700mile battery are keeping the sedan/daily commute mentality in mind. But it won't cut for CT. I want a TRUCK, a work horse, a daily commute, and (whatever you can do...
as far as range goes, the more the merrier.
more range gives me a peace of mind ..
choices of not HAVE to pee at particular charging station
choices of hood up trailer for a good long run in a short notice
choices of forgo one day or a few days of hookup charger at home because I am lazy or...
@ajdelange: One of your record started at about 45% and was able to sustain a charging rate above 100kwh all to way to SoC close to 60%. so, do you think if you disconnect/reconnect charger when you see the rate comes down (like those red curve at around 35% SoC, for example), will you be able...
Tesla website says the V3 supercharger will provide up to 1000mph of charging rate, but we all know when the battery is full, or close to full, that rate of charge will become very low. So what is the happy medium? Charging rate (therefore range) vs. wait time.
Also, the charging rate presents...
I hate door dings and windshield creaks - CT solves it - and it comes with free air suspensions, cargo cover, and air pump. However, I pray very hard for a 400miles dual motor after the battery day. 300 in Texas just won't cut it and $70k plus FSD will certianly break my bank....:(
Thanks many ppl for the contribution to those very useful readings here. Really appreciated!! I'd echo that 400+ mile is what drives me into reservation, but I am still hoping my dual motor can reach that 400 mile range when design is finalized. $20k difference is stiff and I may need to forgo...
OP has valid concern. I tow a few times per year helping family members move, ranging from 250 to 350miles each way. I can't ditch my truck with CT that need trailer removed before SC. Some may said disconnec/reconnnect trailer is easy and quick, but it's just not my thing. I don't want to touch...
I ordered DM and I would like it's range to be 400+ miles.
I plan to expand my garage to make it fit but love to have a second charging port (either right side or upfront).
I'd love to be able to sleep (lay flat) in main cabinet without adding the camping top.
