Saw one last week on 620 west of Austin. Thought it might be Elon, but it wasn't. Young guy driving with another mid-30s guy in the passenger seat. I'm in a Camry and it's quite a bit higher up - more than I expected. Was surprised that there were no markings at all on the vehicle. No Tesla decal in the back or what would serve as the grille. It was wide like a Hummer as well.Come Out Roll said:

$17 A GALLON TO CHARGE AN EV
How much does it cost to charge an electric vehicle, and who picks up the tab? Steve Moore's Committee to Unleash Prosperity has this:So what does it all cost?Quote:
Uncle Sam pays the automakers billions of dollars to produce EVs. Then they write a check for $7,500 to consumers who buy an EV and many states kick in up to another $5,000. Now, the government is paying to charge the batteries for the rich people who buy EVs.Of course, to be fair, a lot of socialism is socialism for the rich. But go back to those numbers: when you charge up an electric vehicle, the electricity has a cost equivalent to $17.33 per gallon of gasoline. If gasoline got that expensive, there would be riots in the street and our government would likely fall. Yet this is the profligacy that liberals are trying to force on all of us.Quote:
CTUP economist EJ Antoni had this alert:Quote:
Including the charging equipment, subsidies from governments and utilities and other frequently excluded expenses, the true cost of charging an EV is equivalent to $17.33-per-gallon gasoline but the EV owner pays less than 7% of that.
Over 10 years, almost $12,000 of costs per EV are transferred to utility ratepayers and taxpayers, effectively socializing the price of recharging an EV while keeping the benefits private.
This is socialism for the rich: a transfer of costs from higher net-worth individuals to middle- and lower-income taxpayers.
There is an obvious difference, of coursethe regular car driver pays for his own car and his own gasoline. The EV driver doesn't pay for his own charge. In fact, he pays a shockingly low portion of the cost of operating his vehicle: less than 7%. Suckers ratepayers and taxpayers pony up the rest.
When you buy those, do you get to peel off a huge sheet of protective plastic? might be worth it for that alone.hph6203 said:

So are ICE vehicles since 40% of golf carts are internal combustion.

Doubt that it outsells the F150Medaggie said:
I would not be surprised if the cybertruck outsells the F150 in 3-5 years Just like the Model Y is the top selling car in the world regardless of class.
Wow, so much room in the back you can put 2/3rds of a bicycle back there!Stat Monitor Repairman said:
Could you ever see a rancher in south texas with one of those? They would run you out of the county. I would love to see and F350 and that thing both hooked up to a 35 foot gooseneck trailer loaded full of cattle and see which one could get those cattle to the meat processor 200 miles away first.Stat Monitor Repairman said:

I'm sure that's probably true, also...Teslag said:
I don't think there's even enough production capacity for the cyber truck to outsell the F150
Lol… most of them have night vision on their 308 or 6.5 creedmore.. they will catch you if that's their so choosingTeslag said:Quote:

They'd have to catch you first

just curious. how long would it take to get one if you ordered one right now?
Based on Tesla's reported production schedule it will take them 5 years to complete the pre-orders so would be a long wait if all of those pre-orders still have any their truck.
NEWS: Tesla has removed all language from the page that said you can't resell/flip your Cybertruck within one year of delivery.
