The efficiency depends on the type of driving.Don't disagree but do you want to put a $250,000.00 engine/motor/batteries in your old Pete 379 to possibly save 5% a year on fuel?

To capitalize on the high torque electric motor off the line !?Looks like they faked the 1/4 mile Porsche race, it was a 1/8th mile race:
No example
Was that the model that delayed starting range extender until battery was almost empty, and didn't allow full use of fuel tank, to limit ICE range to no more than pure electric range? So it could qualify for California zero emission rebates?
If so, the question is how many extended miles of range it gets per gallon when operating the European version. With charge still on the battery, engine should operate with more efficient parameters.
Everything the government touches turns to $#!+
Well now…!! …be nice…we need more people trying to create a brighter future through innovation Instead of trying to live off the govt and free stuff …
I paid my deposit on a twin motor tesla truck about 2020ish I think , back when I was only about 100,000th in line…
Now it’s like a million or more…maybe 2 mil.
I think there cool…life is about having fun , ya know…
I should get notice to come get it maybe this fall ..maybe next spring…who cares…
I still have a Ram 2500 4x4 …it’s ok too.
Plus …..
I have to drive through less than desirable areas at times…( pick a place - anyplace).
I like the I idea of being GONE in 2 seconds and the street thug ammo bouncing off if someone tries to Jack me…cause unless they’re in one too, my return fire wont bounce back.
Go Elon….

There’s around 2 million reservations, but the reservation deposit was only $100. I have a reservation, but I’m waiting on them to work through the foundation series/early adopter orders and lower prices. The refreshed model S/X prices dropped over $40k after they worked through initial ordersThere are a million Cybertruck pre-orders???
Actually IIRC about a million like I did… refundable ones if you change your mind… then they shifted to a higher deposit that was not refundable ( about another few hundred thou+ ) ..I really don’t know the total number .There are a million Cybertruck pre-orders???
Wes was the lead engineer of CyberTruck.Looks like they faked the 1/4 mile Porsche race, it was a 1/8th mile race:
740 guy , I am not addressing you , but the collective where applicable.This is another great example of how the CT isn’t reinventing the wheel in EV towing, 90 mile range, lol.
I think the CT is ugly. LOL (there, got that out)This is another great example of how the CT isn’t reinventing the wheel in EV towing, 90 mile range, lol.
Is that gasoline? My cousin has a diesel F250. Towing a large trailer it gets 22 miles per gallon.740 guy , I am not addressing you , but the collective where applicable.
When hauling my new RV to the mountains from Charlotte , the guy In the 350 duelly was getting about 4 miles a gallon on interstate and 4 lane ..gentil slope roads 90% of the way and the last 10 miles was a bit hilly but highway roads 40 to 55 mph …RV weighed 10, 000 lb empty ……he had to fill up in Charlotte 35 gallons to go ,and once when heading back (with No load )..about a hundred miles each way. His mileage going down hill with was obviously better.
This is not an exact comparison ,,… but it’s only marginally better than the CT…and hugly more costly for the petrol…like 8x … The CT is a first release.. it’s a new product… it’s yet to evolve at all …
is it perfect…no ….will it get better …? absolutely , and the many versions that will follow.
it’s the way innovations evolve in life…
What has any of us invented this year, decade or in our life that’s newsworthy or life changing..
utube has some great stuff and its also full of BS vids bashing anything that will get clicks….
negative chatter always gets more clicks than somthing positive…
Give us dirty laundry..
I will support and have faith in forward doers and thinkers…

My X5 gasser gets 28 mpg cruising the interstate. I can squeeze out 31mpg put putting around.2021 BMW i3 with Range Extender
Fuel Economy of the 2021 BMW i3 with Range Extender. Compare the gas mileage and greenhouse gas emissions of the 2021 BMW i3 with Range Extender side-by-side with other cars and trucksfueleconomy.gov
BMW i3 gets 31MPG in range extension mode.
Far worse than a gas only counterpart.
Or is this still not proof of already well-known principles?

Towing a large trailer it gets 22 miles per gallon.
Whats that, going downhill? What do you classify a "large trailer".Is that gasoline? My cousin has a diesel F250. Towing a large trailer it gets 22 miles per gallon.
