Electric vehicles are useless unless for any type of travel over 100 miles or so. What a joke

Electric vehicles only make sense for people that only use it for commuting and driving around town.

Cybertrucks are pieces of shite and gas is currently extremely cheap, so it wouldn’t surprise me.

And how much extra time did he have to sit and wait for the damn thing to charge.
When I fill up the truck, It’s 10min total from the exit to getting back on the interstate.

Agreed. My cousin lives in shreveport and traveled to br recently- i forgot how many stops he made at about 15-20 each stop. I’d think driving locally or city driving would be beneficial but long road trips would suck

Plug in hybrids make sense for commuters but full electric may never actually be viable.
Even plug in hybrids are a stretch as far as economics. I drive a Prius Prime, but if you weigh the additional original cost over the regular Prius, it isn’t worth it.
(To be clear, I only have mine after buying it off a relative who was going into assisted living, so it was unrealistically cheap.)

Gas is really cheap right now and the Cybertruck isn’t meant for regular long road trips
And he doesn’t have to get an oil change after the road trip, too.

Pay for supercharging or spend extra days getting to a destination on slower chargers.

So like 95+% of the use case of personal vehicles?

Yeah, but can you really put a price in driving around in a 4 year olds drawing?

That comes out to about .50/ kWh. That doesn’t make much sense considering that’s double the average rate.

I would want to know more. He is specifically saying superchargers and not other options. I've traveled long distance with EV and it was much cheaper and it was under $3 a gallon gas at the time
Posted on 12/22/24 at 2:49 pm to rickgrimes
Yeah but he's saving the planet
Posted on 12/22/24 at 2:52 pm to jmarto1
Aren’t there some places that allow free charging?

Yeah the math isn’t mathing. I’ve never seen supercharger rates that high before. Not even close.
Maybe he slept in it at night with the heat and lights because $0.20 per mile is really hard to believe.

Yeah there’s more to the story here. He was either towing/hauling or spent all 900 miles supercharging in Los Angeles at peak times. Nothing else makes sense.

Lol it’s pretty wimpy, but it’s been a solid car. Didn’t really want it, but all I had to do was pay off the rest of my aunt’s note when she got too senile so I basically got a $27k car for $9k. Eventually I want an old truck again, I miss mine.
