Some Tesla engineers secretly started designing a Cybertruck alternative because they ‘hated’ it::“They were like, ‘You can’t be serious.’ They didn’t want to have anything to do with it,” Franz von Holzhausen said, according to Walter Isaacson.

    I have a model Y LR w/ 320 mi of range, and I have actually gotten that range before in ideal conditions, but yeah, it’s unlikely at best.

    I’m in no rush, I can wait to see what Chevy and Tesla do before deciding. Maybe Rivian comes out with a 500mi R1S and I’ll just deal with a trailer.

        I mean, ok, I get that, but it’s never been an issue for me personally. I’ve never had a vehicle that hit it’s EPA estimate when I drive 85+ with the AC at full blast when it’s 105+ outside. My truck is rated for 517 highway and I’ve never got more than 330 out of a tank, so, it is what it is I guess.

        Edit: So I’m saying I assume I’ll need 500mi to hit ~350mi, that’s always been my base assumption.

          Ah gotcha, well… You might still need even more from Tesla then, because they exaggerate more than their competitors.
