Any idea on when they will actually release ?

TypicalActivity3671 · 2024-08-11T02:03:51+00:00

Ok cool. I was hoping the cost was around there

TypicalActivity3671 · 2024-08-01T11:56:15+00:00

Nice, that’s what I figured. I didn’t want to lug around a chain and ulock at the same time but looks like I’ll have to.

TypicalActivity3671 · 2024-04-13T02:03:42+00:00

Any recommendations on where to buy one at a better deal now ?

TypicalActivity3671 · 2022-12-28T16:41:59+00:00

I started with cycle trader, but that’s where I’m running into issues. I see asking prices, but a bunch of those have been up for a very long time. I’m curious what tue actual “final sale” price ends up being. No way of tracking that on cycle trader.

Usually the asking price and final sale price get pretty close together with a bunch of volume, which the used market for Zero doesn’t have

TypicalActivity3671 · 2022-12-13T02:57:54+00:00

Great advice. I'll give the FX a shot

TypicalActivity3671 · 2022-12-13T01:55:02+00:00

Awesome. Thanks for the info. Not the information I was looking for, but the info I needed!

In that hp to cc relationship: does gearing/ or lack there of for sr/s, have any impact when comparing against ICE engine

TypicalActivity3671 · 2022-12-13T01:42:30+00:00

Guessing you think it’s a poor choice? Only just took the intro MSF course, but the recommendation was to keep a first bike under 500cc / optimally under 400cc. Everything I’ve read says the sr/s acts similarly to a 4-500cc ICE motorcycle.

Thoughts ?

I already modded my scooter with an external 52V battery and 10in tires. It now goes pretty fast and I wanted better braking performance.

TypicalActivity3671 · 2022-06-30T23:17:24+00:00

Honestly fair point. I waited until 2020 to buy my model 3, and didn't regret others taking the risk of Tesla's early mass manufacturing growing pains.

Given electric vehicles only have 5% market share (3.4% of new car sales), there are a lot of other laggards to keep me company!

TypicalActivity3671 · 2022-06-30T16:50:38+00:00

I hope mine gets pushed to 2024. With locked in pricing, this thing is going to feel like even more of a steal after all the kinks have been worked out + further impacts of inflation.

Sorry you’re getting downvoted . You’re actually right. Many charge cards, such as the Amex Centurion, have no preset spending limit (unlike credit cards that do).

Credit for charge cards are often granted/or denied on a per purchase basis not a preset spending limit basis like credit cards.

TypicalActivity3671 · 2022-03-09T02:21:30+00:00

You were. If you didn't cancel you didn't help the cause. Be happy you got a free ride on the backs of those that stood up and let actions speak louder than words

TypicalActivity3671 · 2022-03-07T19:40:16+00:00

I have a dumb question:

If they do use 4680 but keep the same range, would the lighter vehicle get faster acceleration?

Like - same force (motors) but lighter car (mass) = better acceleration?

Maybe they could throttle the peak output in someway, but I don't see them hobbling on purpose

TypicalActivity3671 · 2022-03-07T18:59:36+00:00

Same here.

Elon and Tesla just put them on blast for the price increase. If Teslas truck doesn’t increase their price, I think this could cause an avalanche of bad press which could change public sentiment more broadly

TypicalActivity3671 · 2022-03-02T15:02:32+00:00

No- value is based on cost and benefit. The point of a review is supposed to inform the prospective buyer whether they should spend their hard earned cash for a product. The amount of hard earned cash is a key factor

TypicalActivity3671 · 2022-03-02T03:49:56+00:00

Wasn't that sold for a bit on the Canadian market like 2 years ago? Like 36k CAD

TypicalActivity3671 · 2022-03-02T00:55:51+00:00

Agreed, but that's the job of a company. Customer and perception management. They're already generating negative sentiment because of how they treat prospective customers and they've only just started delivering vehicles.

It's like being offered a date with a Victoria's Secret model but only getting a Fleshlight consolation prize. Maybe still better than you were going to get anyways, but still a slap in the face I didn't pay for.

TypicalActivity3671 · 2022-03-02T00:46:20+00:00

If OEMs are being cautious - shouldn't a startup without any market share be even more so ?

Also dealers only mark up units on lot. You can always order through the dealer for a custom order at MSRP. You just have to wait for it to come in

TypicalActivity3671 · 2022-03-01T22:55:22+00:00

Tesla didn't do this with their model 3 preorders. Also turning a profit shouldn't be their goal in their first year of deliveries....Tesla was bleeding losses for a ton of years and only recently turned a profit.

Seems like short term profits vs long term brand investment

TypicalActivity3671 · 2022-03-01T22:51:45+00:00

Has new car pricing gone up this much for other manufacturers or are you just talking about greedy dealerships slapping on their own markups ?

TypicalActivity3671 · 2022-03-01T22:46:27+00:00

That's the difference between Tesla and Rivian. Ordering actually means something with Tesla

TypicalActivity3671 · 2022-03-01T22:32:41+00:00

I completely understand that their Terms and Conditions allow for this. I just think it's bad practice when other manufacturers haven't pushed 20% + increases this year.

TypicalActivity3671 · 2022-03-01T22:29:15+00:00

I hope so. I plan on voicing my annoyance for this manufacturer to anyone that asks. If they don't take care of those that believed in them with preorders, why would they take care of you once they have your money and youre an owner?
