Tesla exploded the electric car market, becoming the clear leader in the industry with the mass-market Tesla Model 3, and eventually even having the #1 best selling model of any kind in the world with the Tesla Model Y. Recently, though, BYD sales have climbed much faster, and Tesla sales … [continued]
Gandhi supposedly said (but most likely didn’t): “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” I’ve been seeing a similar trend happen with electric RVing. First, they said it was impossible. An electric RV would NEVER happen! The cost of batteries is … [continued]
It’s official — Tesla’s Cybertruck was the the best selling EV pickup truck in the US during Q2, and is among the fastest production ramps in Tesla’s history. After the first deliveries in just November of last year, the Cybertruck was able to sell 8,755 units in the US during … [continued]
I wrote a couple of days ago that Tesla produced 1,000 Cybertrucks one week last month. It’s a notable milestone, but if that was the output every week this year, that would still just be a little more than 50,000 trucks. Though, a reader pointed something out I hadn’t caught … [continued]

Unfortunately, these range ratings are not uniformly created and are not uniformly accurate. Therefore, some electric cars do better than expected in the real world and some do worse than … [continued]
I put down a reservation for a Cybertruck on the first day of the launch back in 2019 since I knew I’d be replacing my old Dodge 4×4 2500 within a few years. I didn’t really like the look of Cybertruck at the time, to be honest, but I bought … [continued]
A right-hand drive Rivian R1T Pickup? Yes, you read that correctly. I was fortunate to get a chance to sit in one and check it out in Nairobi, Kenya. From the information I gathered, this is one of the only ones made so far and this was for a special … [continued]
Back in 2019, there was a lot of excitement about the Tesla Cybertruck. While I was personally shocked at the design decision, it looked like it was going to be the first electric pickup truck, which would have been pretty cool. But now, almost four years later, Tesla still hasn’t … [continued]
