Tesla Cybertruck acceleration shines in recent sighting

Teslarati

Elon Musk has noted in the past that Tesla does not make slow cars. The CEO has stayed true to his word. Even the Tesla Semi, the company’s Class 8 all-electric truck, is arguably the fastest-accelerating truck in its class. And as per a recent sighting, the Cybertruck is definitely no different. The Cybertruck is a Tesla through and through, though its design is a lot more radical than the company’s other vehicles.

A Chinese electric double decker bus for less than a cheap electric car?

Electrek

With car bloat so prevalent on US roads these days, you’d be hard pressed to find a compact car in any typical parking lot. But if everyone is arming up with SUVs, then I’ll just have to go even bigger with my own double decker bus. Since a 9,000 lb Hummer has somehow become an acceptable way to get the groceries, then what could be wrong with driving a two-story bus?

Comment on Nio has held exploratory talks with Mercedes for tie-up, report says by Wayne Lewis

CN EV Post

@peters In reply to peters. Your assertion surrounding battery longevity would be bearish for NIO as well, regardless of the ability to swap “easily” or not. It’s just a false talking point for ICE vehicle faithful people, and you don’t even realize it. Battery longevity will not be a problem. They will last hundreds of thousands of miles before needing replacement, just like ICE engines, but will last even longer than that.

Nio is good at blowing out the bottom end. Of course William Li's answer to this problem will likely be an excuse paired with an increase in R&D.
