Wasn't it supposed to have 600 miles of range? Its not like this wasn't known about the whole time. Wasn't producing the battery one of the major production limitations when they were trying to finally start pumping these out?

apparently one thing that was going to help them was how they had made major progress in creating these batteries - it was a certain kind of process, wet or dry or something, I read the article a while back. Anyway, of course they made a big claim about this, but when moving to a larger scale, all those claims turned out to be just that, and not well-tested at all. Just more bullshit from Musk and his pet Tesla.

iirc Tesla said they could do a 500+ mile internal battery, but the weight & cost were excessive.

But I'm sure people would buy it!
 
Seems to me there is a point with EVs in general but especially trucks where doing series hybrid would make way more sense. Make a small optional diesel generator that can fit in the front trunk as a modular component with quick connects for power/comms. Design it so it just slides right in and has mounting points, and appropriate exhaust/intake ports etc. As you're driving if the battery gets down to like say, 20%, it kicks on to bring it back to like 80% then shuts off.

A 500+ mile battery seems kind of unnecessary for almost all consumers, and the last thing we need is even heavier vehicles on our roads.

What kind of non sense is this....Your average American needs two things. 500 miles of range with the ability to refuel in 5 minutes or less and a vehicle with a big front facia to make it look tough for all the off roading we do.
