Love the Cybertruck. Went to the Tesla dealership to see it. Will order one after I pay off the model Y.
You probably have a 4+ year wait at this point, so consider the timing of that in your planning.
Did the car under the Cybertruck have black handles on one side and silver on the other? Or did one side have some shipping material covering it? Looks odd. Also, I live in Vancouver and not sure they are shipping any here yet, not for sale anyway. I haven't heard of any Canadian deliveries yet but maybe it's for a showroom.
I had to go back and look at the footage. When I both shot and edited the footage i wasn't looking at any detail of the Model Y's, my focus was on the Cybertruck. While at first i thought it might have been a reflection, it does appear to have a plastic sticker on the handle, which is odd cause none of the other vehicles have that.
This vehicle remains a mystery, while at the Vancouver Auto show last week, I told the Tesla team what we've saw in Blaine, that they knew only of the one at the show which is the only one in town other than the one from the US that's here getting a wrap. Perhaps, this was going to another part of Canada.
I"m going to ask a question (or questions here) that I've wanted to ask for a while. With the onset of Ford being able to charge at *some* superchargers now, and other OEMs coming on board, the charging ports are not all in the same position as on the Tesla. (I know, duh). Why wouldn't Tesla starting building their supercharging stations like filling stations are now? With pass through lanes, the ability to charge on either side of the island? With covered awnings? Is this too far out of the realm of possibility? Seems like with the advent of the other OEMs coming on board, Tesla would need/should want to accommodate more/different charging port locations, instead of being stuck in the same location based supercharger setups that we see at most supercharger locations.
Thoughts?
Hey there! That's a really interesting question, I’ve spent a few days thinking about it. It's true that with more electric vehicle manufacturers entering the market, there's a growing diversity in charging port locations. Tesla's Supercharger network has been a game-changer, but the longer cables on this style of charge will help things.
Your suggestion of building Supercharger stations like traditional filling stations, with pass-through lanes and charging points on both sides, along with covered awnings, has some merit. However, that would add to the cost of developing these kinds of stations. With that said, Kettleman City Supercharger in Ca is massive development which has solar powered roofs. In largely traveled areas this makes sense, but in some cases where space is a factor a narrow row of chargers does just fine.
The fact is while I believe that the parking stalls should be wider, I think various styles and layouts work rather well. Although, the older chargers with the shorter cables will continue to be a challenge for the range of potential vehicles at peak times.
We are really still in early days but the need for charging of different speeds is needed. I use a Level 2 charger at a community centre when i play ball hockey for 2 hours, a slower charger works great as i don't require the faster speed like I would on a road trip.
Thanks so much for your question. Are you an EV driver?
@@HeyWeirdos Funny (sad) story. I bought a Tesla Model 3 the Friday before Thanksgiving 2023. I had to pick it up down south from where I live on the following Tuesday. Which was two days before Thanksgiving. My wife (who was also on the title) wouldn't drive to pick the car up, so I had to cancel the order. Ended up buying a Crosstrek instead. But my next car will be an EV. Either a Mach E or a Tesla Model 3. Although I really would prefer a sedan like an older Volvo, but in EV format.
That's the reason for the longer cables on V4's. And they are building more and more pull through stalls now, however, they are limited by what the location allows them. The real-estate owners place a ton of restrictions on EV chargers. They limit the parking area they can use. Especially in red states. So Tesla tries to maximize the small area they are allowed by placing as many stalls as they can so they have to install them as close as possible. You need to go ask these real-estate owners why they only allow such small areas for EV chargers. If you go out west, you will see that parking spots are now being built a bit wider where the location allows, but they are also being slanted to allow for more room.
As for ICE vehicles and gas stations, you are aware there's only 2 gas inlet port locations on ICE light duty vehicles nowadays, correct? Right and left rear. That's why the left rear and right front need to be the 2 standard locations that ICE vehicles adhere to. EV manufacturers will more than likely adhere to those 2 locations going forward (outside of Rivian which apparently is doing all it can to fail) if they want to sell the most EVs to use the largest charging network in America (by far) whose vast majority are V3's and will still be for many years to come. Ford has already said they will charge theirs and GM is already using the left rear on the EV's I've seen from them, as does Volvo and Polestar.
Also, gas pump stick to one side only not two, just like Tesla does. To be able to use both sides, they install 2 pumps next to each other, one for the right and another for the left. Tesla already does this on many stations in Europe, especially in Norway, and they are already starting to do the same in the US out west when the space allows it. They are also installing slanted parking spots to allow charging on both sides, doing the same as gas pumps placing the next to each other back to back, so that EVs backup, or pull in, on both sides. I charged on several like this in Arizona a few months back.
As for a state like West Virginia, you have to keep in mind that they are very anti-EV. I doubt that there are any CCS DC fast charging stations there. Please let me know if I'm wrong on that. Tesla is allowed only because Elon plays along with their right wing ways, so he gets a pass.
Lack of pass thru stations is a real estate issue not a design challenge. Landlords are reluctant to give up prime real estate to accommodate 16+ chargers arranged under a roof with more square footage needed for ingress and exiting the canopies than just some parking spots on the fringe.
@@anthonyc8499 One of my main reasons for this comment is I think that there needs to be more of a gas station type feel for charging stations. It will make it more comfortable and safe for all drivers (especially, no offense, women), if they are lit, and covered. And with the ease of a pass through design, it will make them more accessible to all drivers and all models of cars. Yes, I know the OEMs will change, but the current cars will still be around for a while, and the more that the charging stations can be adapted to work well for EVERYONE, the better, IMO.
Is it open now?
I haven’t made it back there yet. This week I hope 🤞
1. Haven't seen in person, but still don't think I'd like the cybertruck IRL. Has some cool features but misses some things for me.
2. Annoyed yet another charge location in a completely new build where they could lay it out however they want doesn't have any pull-throughs. That's going to be critical for future adoption and they're still severely lacking on that. Such a boneheaded decision to me.
3. Having the V4 dispensers should mean just a charge module upgrade for full V4 from what I understand, assuming they ran 1000V (rather than 600V) rated lines from the cabinet to dispensers. The DC buss between the cabinets and dispensers themselves are already rated for 1000V.
Thanks for your comments @andrewt9204. Our next video features us in a Cybertruck at the Vancouver Auto Show. And spoiler, i went from hating it to really liking the interior! The inside of the Cybertruck looks and feels great. I really want to drive one but I really don't ever see myself owning one.

Where is alll this power come from? We all know that power plants still run on fossil fuels. Not all but most. Also do the EV cars hold their value? Like if you want to trade it in? Sorry for all the questions
Power sources vary by region, in the Pacific Northwest hydroelectric is the primary source but Natural Gas is used as well.
As for EV cars, their value retention varies but generally holds up well due to lower maintenance costs and increasing demand for sustainable transportation.
