Tesla has been testing these with Pepsi around Sacramento. From everything I've read they've had pretty good luck with routes where you'd run a day cab truck. They're charging overnight in Sacramento, running up to Tahoe and regening down the mountain coming back to Sacramento.
One time I didn't have time to go to Discount Tire, so I ordered a tire rotation on the Tesla app. They sent me a text when they were arriving. I opened the garage and asked if he needed anything, and he rotated my tires and left. $65
Thats awesome! I have bought several sets of tires for my other vehicles from them over the past couple of years. I had no idea that they do at home stuff. Have had great experiences with them in shop.
Nope I read it wrong.
I ride an e-bike for my daily commute as long as the weather is okay, and I really enjoy it. At my commute distance (2.5 miles one way, in Ames), it probably takes just a couple of minutes longer riding my bike vs. driving.
Paid almost $90 to fill my tank today. We've been talking/joking about what my bike ride would be to get to the office. Only a little over 8 miles, and decent chunk would be "prairie path" (limited street crossings) and easy local streets. However, there's a few busy arterial street crossings and about a 1/2 mile stretch of road I'm pretty sure I'd be white-knuckling as I dodged traffic. Just for reference, Apple maps says 16 min to drive, 46 minutes by bike.
my commute is pretty short (10 minutes one way), but I have to travel on busy streets and under the interstate. More worried about getting hit by other cars on a bike/e-bike.
Discount Tire shops get a ton of my business and recommendations to others. Every one I've used over the years has been awesome to work with.
That's the same reason why I haven't bought an ebike for going to work yet. I think it would be great from now until about mid October but crossing Hwy 63 on the south side of Waterloo would be sketchy plus the last mile would be sharing the road with a bunch of cars going 45-50mph.
We test drove the Lexus rz450, liked it but passed. It is noticeably smaller on the interior (or seems that way) than her current Outback. Waiting on the i3, but I suspect it will meet the same fate due to the interior size. On a minor note the dash display is notably outdated on the Lexus too, but that is a non factor for us.
the only thing that makes these even somewhat competitive currently is they get a weight waiver because the truck itself is 4-5k lbs over a regular diesel trucks weight.
