Green Texan EV

It’s wild to me that my kids only know electric vehicles and might not even own a car when they get older due to robotaxis.

@EthanCords That’s really impressive. I honestly can’t imagine driving that many miles per day. Great news that the Bolt has held up so well.

@GreenTexanEV I got a refurbished pack at 72k miles during the Bolt’s battery recall. I often drive 200+ miles per day so I charge to 100% most nights and often run it down to 2% and DCFC multiple times a week, but degradation has been negligible and I get similar range to when I bought it!

Hit 250k miles in my Bolt today!

@wholemars I really hope someone figures this out otherwise it’s going to be a Terminator situation

Would it be possible to design a super intelligence that cannot survive without humans? How would you implement that?

@TechOperator That’s terrifying. Good thing she verified the plate

Tesla Robotaxi and Cybercab cannot scale fast enough. I worry about my daughter whenever she travels. Here is a text I received from her as she left New Orleans last evening. I only changed her name for anonymity. “We had a scary uber situation on the way here 😬 there was a car the same as the one picking us up and he rolled down his window and said something and I didn’t hear so I said “for Alecia?” And he said yes! Then I said “for George” (who was picking us up) and he said yes! He was saying he would take us to the airport for free?? then I noticed an uber sticker on his window (we had Lyft) and so I checked the license plate and it was wrong so I didn’t get in. The free thing was weird but easy to guess we were going to the airport because we had our suitcases. He drove away as soon as we checked the license plate so obviously was there impersonating an uber driver“

@TeslaNewswire Went by the service center in San Antonio to see if they were testing any but no luck

Tesla Cybercabs spotted in Dallas, Texas, for the first time

@TexasEV We need to completely rethink how we fund road repairs. It should be equal regardless of the powertrain. Mileage and vehicle weight is probably the best method

US House lawmakers propose $130 annual EV fee to pay for road repairs: reuters.com/world/us-house…

@AuntJoJo11 Congrats, good color choice.

We did a thing today!! Traded in our Wrangler for this beauty!! I'm so excited ❤️

@zoox When are y’all coming to Texas?

The Zoox robotaxi understands the world around it as a continuous, 360-degree environment. This is especially helpful when navigating fast-moving scenarios like this one.

@KevinMelnuk @Hilbe @RJScaringe Especially if some of those people are YouTubers to get free publicity

@Hilbe @GreenTexanEV @RJScaringe How hard can this be? Answer: not hard. First solution, schedule a delivery event June 10th, announce the date, and invite 30 amazing R1 customers to take delivery. Start there.

**Non-AI Summary** RJ is at the factory. Everyone patted themselves on the backs.

What do y’all think? I’d support it

@TesCalendar1 I actually think a dedicated hardwired unit is the way to go. Too many electricians cheap out when installing NEMA 14-50 outlets as Tom has showed on his excellent recharge rescue series

@GreenTexanEV Exactly! I’d 100% recommend a NEMA 14-50 which can be installed as cheap as $60 in parts. But if you can’t, there are solutions!

For those that say L1 charging an EV won’t work! I charged my Tesla Model 3 34% overnight on a 110V plug. For reference, I use about 22% to drive to work and back (48 miles round trip). Now I owe my neighbor $1.50 🫨

@TravisKetchum @Rivian @VolvoCarUSA @BMWUSA I’m gonna wait until next year to purchases an R2. Had issues with my Model 3 and Model Y as they were early builds, don’t want to make that mistake again.

@GreenTexanEV @Rivian @VolvoCarUSA @BMWUSA A Gen3 R2 will probably be ideal for you then if you can hold out.

Now that we have the configurators for the @Rivian R2, @VolvoCarUSA EX60, and the @BMWUSA iX3... we finally have a good idea about the tradeoffs for each. With the OTA cadence and driver assistance roadmap, even for launch R2, it should do very well. travisketchum.com/compare/r2:pre…

@MattWallaceTech I got a quote a few years ago and was surprised how much more they wanted

Got a quote for Tesla Insurance and I was shocked how high it was. Over $272 while I pay less than $150 with my current carrier is a huge difference.

@RivianTrackr I listened to the RJ section, was disappointed

This was weird and unusual. A lot of press and politicians at the Rivian plant in Normal, IL but it was a nothing burger.

@jacecraftmiller @brandenflasch Wow, you aren’t kidding! No wonder it was so expensive

@GreenTexanEV @brandenflasch We are a designated Tree City USA and they were BIG! Here’s one that was coming down in a storm. We took them all out and the front yard is completely transformed. So worth it.

Posts like this make me want to chop down the trees around my house 🫣

@TeslaTim2 I wish this was built into the vehicle vs having to use an adaptor

Well done boys!

@jacecraftmiller @brandenflasch Good lord. How big were those trees?

@brandenflasch $7.5K in tree work last year. Exactly why we did it. At the very least have them look at what big leads should come down. In our case we had 7-8 that needed to come down but 3-4 that could just be trimmed.
