Mystery Cybertruck Crash Baffles Investigators

[@rhackenb1]

We're a Costco member and also have two Tesla Model 3's (2019 and 2022). I've been trying for years to get Tesla to put in chargers. If they were to act as a sales point for Teslas and models on display, people could see them and maybe buy them. The Costco rep could help them through the buying process as well as provide tire changes and alignment. The Costco parking lots are huge and Tesla might put in a line of superchargers at the far end of the parking lot (of course to members and non-members). If Tesla owners could assume that every Costco has a supercharger station, travelling long distance would be a no-brainer. People might just buy a Costco membership so that they can get into the store and use the restrooms and snack bar.

I’d be happy to plug into a LVL 2 when I shop…

Supercharges won't benefit Costco, can't get my hotdog and back to the charger before my time is up. Either no idle fee or L2 or urban chargers so that I can drop more money when I "just grab a few things"

[@ZipZoomZip]

This is a silly idea. Costco locations are not ideal Supercharger locations. Driving across country? Costco only has 611 locations while there are already 4 times that number of Supercharger locations (and growing). Even the lowest range Tesla has around 250 miles of range. Do you know anyone who makes a 4 hour round trip to shop at Costco? You charge before you leave home.

Great video, Kim!! It is great to have a major EV influencer (you) who is a fellow Atlanta metro resident. In the past I have represented one of the Detroit Three automakers in product liability litigation involving fires. I can say two thing based on the images from the accident. First, if you hit a fixed barrier at a high enough speed, and the CT crash was clearly traveling at a high rate of speed, a fire is very likely regardless of whether the vehicle is gas or electric. Second, the unfortunate driver who perished in this accident was very likely already dead before his a her body was consumed by flames. This accident would have been fatal in any automobile ever made.

I really don’t think it comes down to your party “color”… it’s more about logic! 1) Moving parts are subject to wear… less moving parts, less wear… EV’s have many hundreds less moving parts. 2) both battery’s and oil are messy to mine… Battery’s are highly recyclable and will therefore in time need less mining, Oil is consumed and then you need more! 3) We are going to need oil for many years into the future… but we should use it for more efficient uses… Transportation only turns 25 to 30% of the energy into forward motion. Other uses like heating are in the 80 to 90% efficient. I don’t think we are going to want to or be ready to not have oil to manufacture textiles, chemicals, plastics and much more anytime soon. Most of these uses are for durable goods that are much better use and a more valuable use of oil. 4) The transition to an electric centric economy is an evolution not a revolution, people will make purchases that work for their family budget. Electric passenger cars are now more affordable for most households, it will take time for the proof to become obvious for many. (Already proving it in my budget with a model Y) Solar will go through the same transition. 5) Trying to force it creates an artificial reality. Dropping or postponing the transition to EV mandate is wise, it will happen at the right pace for the expanding infrastructure all by itself and competition will sort out the winners and losers. And we should stop subsidizing the oil industry as well… the cost will then reflect the value and it will be used for what yields the best return, and EV’s will make sense to even more families. 6) power grid is not the problem. Overnight charging actually is a financial gain to the power companies, they have excess capacity overnight that goes unsold, with EV’s they sell more! 7) Getting oil out of the ground, into storage, transported to refineries, refining, pumping into storage, then into trucks, then pumped into your vehicle all takes ELECTRICITY! I have read that it is something like 7 to 8KW of electricity to get a gallon of oil from the ground to your auto fuel tank that will then take you about 28 miles (average) in your ICE car…. 8KW will take my model Y about 30 miles and i have consumed ZERO oil to do it! Let logic win the day!

Hey Kim as an intelligent ev owner and mom. How about doing a video on ice vehicle fire's? Here in the U.S. alone every 4mins an ice vehicle used for personal reasons burns up. 217,000+in 2023. The #1 open recall across ALL LEGACY ice oems right now is for the risk of FIRE even when parked right NOW effecting over 4,000,000 vehicle's produced in the last 3-5 year's. And also mention tesla lead the way to lfp cells in their base model's since late 2021 NOW. With over 45% of ALL teslas sold globally since then using lfp prismatic cells from either byd or catl. Which have ZERO cobalt or nickel in them and much less fire risk! 😎 Over in China which just hit 50% in nev vehicle sales? Lfp cells through q2 of 2024 are at 68% market share already. 👍🏻

[@ErikMeike]

That test for the evject is actually pretty reasonable. They have it proudly posted on their website to read and if you look, it is actually reasonable, and shows it overheating. Testing with a shorted output actually makes sense as there is no need to charge a battery. What causes the heating is the current, and not the voltage, so they apply the same current as a normal charge cycle, and the voltage does not matter. The fact that one pin is at 0v or 400v relative to the other pin does not matter for determining how much each pin heats up. The test conditions were around 400A which is about the same as 160kw charging. V3 superchargers go to 250kw, so that would be a little over 600A. The heat dissipation is the square of the current, so that is a LOT more heat at 250kw. The adapters totally seem to be failing according to that study, and it is under reasonable and in fact favorable conditions as they tested 160kw rather than 250kw.

[@johnpoldo8817]

I believe the Ford and Rivian NACS to CCS adapters have thermal protection. If it is important to have protection in those adapters, why isn’t it also important in EV-eject? More than likely, protection only requires adding a $1 component.

[@jmel1746]

Your podcast was so well done this week! Very provocative, indeed. I had to comment on several issues ☺ Rivian. As on OG Teslahead, I do lean towards that brand. In the early days of Rivian, I lamented the direction of that company to the Land Rover crowd, hardly the EV truck or SUV solution for the masses to get weaned off of fossil fuels. Rivian does impress with tasteful, high quality fit and finish and interior materials any Tesla would long for. I have to wince at their picking off many Tesla employees ( and their hard drives ) and the ensuing lawsuit. Attributable to that or not, I give Rivian a good chance to survive and thrive. The VW tech deal also helps. Profitability before bankruptcy? Time will tell. I'm not a big gambler, but the stock could make folks a lot of money, should they have the cahones to take on risk. I have been swayed a bit by their van and their future goals to sell down market. I can see the R3 becoming the EV apple of today's Suburu buyer's eye. Vans do not an auto company make. Brightdrop is just the latest example as gm put a fork in them. VIA Motors is another blast from a plug-in past that flopped. GM (gm) also invested in another plug-in van you may not remember = The Bright Idea. They invested $5million in a startup building an aerodynamic plug-in hybrid van and rode that pony right into the ground. We think that vans like Mercedes Sprinters or Stellantis Promasters must sell millions, but the actual numbers are rather miniscule in comparison to pickup trucks, light-duty trucks and SUVs. Vans are the unsung hero of autodom. The most Swiss Army-versatile vehicle on earth. I've nearly given up on seeing a 300-500 mile range EV van that we American individual consumers can buy in my lifetime. If available, I'd buy one tomorrow. The Chicken Tax of today, implemented bupy the U.S. government in the 1960s, is worth looking into also. Because of this protectionist law, we Americans have missed out on purchasing many foreign-made vans that put the domestic garbage to shame. Its also why Sprinters had to be built in Germany, disassembled, shipped to the U.S. and reassembled on our shores up until 2019 or so, resulting in a base van - an empty metal shell, costing $45-55,000 here!!! That said, now Rivian can bypass the Amazon contract and sell its EV van to others. Hopefully, non fleet customers like us, will be able, to own one. Imagine EV van- asked RVs....OH, I can dream...

Now Tesla esp Cybertruck is associated with MAGA!

[@Lovejazz01]

I always say , on one hand , it’s usually the person behind the wheel who is making decisions while driving, no different than any other drivers who speed, who do things in the phone while driving, who are tired, and who might be drunk or high. But, on the other hand, I always tell people, most EVs, especially Teslas, are not the same as gas vehicles, and it’s a different way of driving, so a little EV education might be necessary, especially knowing when your Tesla is in Autopilot, or is still in some form of cruise control. Sometimes when you think you’ve taken it off autopilot, it is still remains in cruise control. You have to make sure you are all the way out of both .

[@simonAdeWeerdt]

Median price is of a car sale more representative than the average price.

[@NeilBergman]

You have to remember that when the Rivian R1 truck and SUV came out, there really was no other electric truck out there yet. Mabe the Ford F-150 Lightning had been released, but that was about it. The Cybertruck design hadn't even been finalized yet at that point. So Rivian releasing the truck and SUV first before going in big on a van was probably a pretty good strategy.

[@EVBud69]

For rossmon politics is more important than the climate. Interesting.

[@rishinarang9966]

I think there is a huge issue with the analysis about the cost and range of teslas. I would say that the range still may not be enough for roadtrips. A rav-4 hybrid can go about 500 miles and it has a better infrastructure. Furthermore, the average price of a new vehicles statistic is highly skewed, due to cars being able to only get so cheap, yet they can get as expensive as possible.

[@mpow1404]

But how many people drive 500 miles without stopping? I bet most people do not even go 250 miles without a comfort break. When I road trip in my Model S, I typically drive 170-220 miles and then charge for 15-20 minutes. If I am in my gas powered pickup, my stop is probably 10-12 minutes to get gas, use the restroom, and get something to drink. When I drive to see my Mom, who lives570 miles from me, the amount of time I save with the gas car is about 20-25 minutes, but I never take my pickup anymore because it does not have an autopilot system and I am constantly having to "saw the wheel", which is nowhere near as relaxing as driving with autopilot.

[@peterkn2]

​@@mpow1404 a lot of the same ppl who complain about the range probably drive 10-15 minutes away to get cheaper gas, probably at a Costco 😅, they'll spend 5-15 minutes waiting for and then filling up, and then they drive the 10-15 mins back.

EV-Ject...I was intending to buy 2 of them as I've encountered sketchy situations at Superchargers awhile alone, late at night. My wife now uses a particular Supercharger that is located far back in a parking lot behind a Lowe's hardware store. Stuff happens. The crux of the matter is does the handle get extremely hot as Tesla has stated? It does come to mind also, that Tesla may be working on a solution of their own...Hardware or software? If they were working on an accessory to sell on their website, could they be flexing to scare away competition? This was and is a very serious weakness of EVs plugged into public charging. You are stuck there literally and driving off is not possible, leaving you extremely vulnerable to attacks. Bad guys are not stupid. They share things and see everything we see online. Take the Model 3 window vulnerability that spawned 100s of car break-ins, especially in San Francisco. To this day we watch Wham Bam Teslacam instances of thieves exploiting this weakness. Creative entrepreneurs sell gadgets on Amazon, designed to thwart these intrusions. Tesla should solve these issues in present and future cars. They are now well-known vulnerabilities.

[@DanFrederiksen]

For a cybertruck to be mangled like that it was going very fast. I'd say 200km/h, especially if it didn't hit an immovable barrier. If that damage is from tumbling in the desert, it was going fast. In a vehicle to vehicle collision it will completely destroy a normal car before getting noticeable damage. It's over 3 ton and it's 2mm stainless steel sheet.

Evgo: I would like to see an eject button on the screen that causes the car to stop charging and spit the charge handle out. Obviously, this would require an updated charge port.

I like the van plan

[@nvptx]

Rivian should come out a van passenger bet Tesla to the game. And a suburban SUV

[@airgunningyup]

I think the driver was flying and lost control.. I hate to think it was an autosteer error of stuck gas pedal,,

[@danharold3087]

If the accelerator pedal come jammed stepping on the brake disengages the motors. It kind of rules that out.

[@surferdude4487]

Auto steer is not yet available on cybertruck This was user error.

[@arthur719]

Why would you make this video if Elon Musk said it was canned 3 days ago? This is not happening.

[@kyoyosho]

since Autopilot is enhanced cruise-control, and definitely not FSD; it's safety #'s are going to be high since it's features are basic and in more basic conditions (mostly highway driving). // is the NHTSA data you quoted equivalent? (do they track accidents for highway driving and/or while on cruise-control?) -- otherwise you can't really compare them; and of course their #'s would be vastly higher. you said Autopilot so many times, i assume you didn't mean FSD (beta).

Cybertrunk 👍

[@dscarty]

EVject. I’d like to see just one testimonial from a happy user who had a credible use. I think this product plays to our worst human fears (This could happen!). Especially for women (this is not a slam). It really seams like a Chicken Little response to a very unlikely scenario. And, I’d suggest, $200 would buy a lot of pepper spray.

Teslas can only manage 2/3ds Of The kilometres a gas car can🤔

[@johnpoldo8817]

I can get 400 miles on my model S which pleases me very much.

[@cre8tvedge]

You are not comparing anything. A global statement "gas car" is meaningless. As noted in the video Teslas get roughly the same avg range as the avg ICE vehicle.

I purchased a Jeep from Costco. The only thing they did was have one sitting outside so you could see it. It was delivered through a traditional Jeep dealer @ a great price.

I want to see a photo of the convicted felon's feet: he must be wearing flip-flops. Okay. Cue the fanbois.

Nope

How long will we have to wait for the information on the cyber truck crash an idea?

[@ItsKimJava]

Just happened earlier this week, so probably a few weeks.

I’m listening to Trump, I think he would get rid of the EV,s mandates, but keep the tax deductions.

Anyone who uses the term "climate change denier" isn't really good at understanding the fundamentals of science to begin with. If they're for energy efficiency, that's something to get behind because it's cheaper to use less energy to move a vehicle from point A to point B. That's the reason to go electric, not climate.

[@cre8tvedge]

Your reason for electric does not deny that some deny climate change. News flash. They are a minority. And addressing the heating of the planet is a valid and most important reason to end using fossil fuels. Understanding the science says so.

[@icedout2322]

Friend of mine finally pegged what the R2 looks like , he said "it looks like a hippo" . lol.

[@bobwilliams5376]

Good day to you. Do you plan on reviewing the Aptera EV? When might we see it?

[@Mrbfgray]

BEVs wouldn't be politicized if not for mindless mandates and the rest, virtue signaling pols caused the problem. Being "forced" to go electric has properly driven all the backlash, far more harm that good as typical from government interference.

[@cre8tvedge]

No one is forced to go electric. You have it backwards. People are incentivized to go electric. It's actually more economically had healthy to go electric. Why do you want to harm yourself and cost yourself money by clinging to falsehoods brought to you be the fossil fuel industry. Those phrases in your first sentence are what's actually mindless. The earth is in a crisis of heat caused by burning fossil fuels. It's that simple. Wake up to it or risk dying from it.

[@jebediahkerman3946]

Here's what I know. Before the covid lock downs when Trump was president I could have afforded a new Tesla. Since the lock downs killed my job and Biden took over, the abundance of jobs in my field are just gone. I sure wish I could go back to 2019.

[@cre8tvedge]

Amazing. Exactly what do you do that now has no work? Fact check org says Here’s how the United States has fared since President Joe Biden took office three years ago: The economy added more than 14 million jobs. The number is now nearly 4.9 million higher than before the pandemic. The unemployment rate dropped back to just above the pre-pandemic low; unfilled job openings again outnumber unemployed job seekers. More jobs than job seekers looks like it's a seekers market. If you were skilled enough to afford a Tesla in 2019 surely you can find a good job and afford a (less costly) Tesla now.
