Comment on Tesla recalls all 3,878 Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator pedal cover

Yeah, a 500 or 600 mile range would be about where I’d bite; or just a better charging network.

The reason I want 500 is the 280 or so I get is good most the time except when it’s very cold out. 500 would help during the summer and winter. When it’s super cold out I get Maybe 200 miles.

Yup and when I drive it’s either nowhere or nearly 120 miles each way with next to no charging infrastructure in-between both points or at either end.
I could of course install a charger at my own house, but that only solves 1 end. 500 would be a comfortable buffer as the batteries inevitably degrade and for below freezing weather conditions.

You need a charger at your home. Otherwise they’re just not practical. Superchargers eat the batteries. Slow charges take to long to use except overnight. There are a lot of rural charges but they’re low voltage. Can take hours if not days to charge your car
