Tesla has officially uncorked all V4 Supercharger posts in North America, allowing the Cybertruck to charge at up to 325kW! This is made possible by increasing amperage to 900A, thanks to the improved cooling of V4 dispensers. However, these chargers are still using V3 cabinets, meaning they remain limited to 500V output.


What does this mean for Cybertruck owners? Will other Tesla vehicles see faster charging speeds? And when will true V4 cabinets with 1000V and 500kW arrive? Join me as I break down everything you need to know about Tesla’s latest Supercharger upgrade!

and CEO Peter Rawlinson for an in-depth discussion about the crazy fast charging capabilities of the Lucid Gravity, which achieves 400 kW fast charging, seamless Tesla Supercharger integration, as much as 225kW at relatively low 400V chargers without splitting the pack, and the highest cell energy efficiency with it's 926V architecture. From its real world advantages in charging and range, efficiencies in production and cost, and with help from a new advanced battery chemistry developed with Panasonic, let's see how the engineering driven culture at Lucid helped shape this SUV.

Starting at $44,900, it's a big jump from the original $35,000 first advertised, but that is because this base version we get in the US today is a dual-motor AWD, so it isn't the cheapest Volvo expects to ship, yet. Yes we will still get the RWD version starting at a lower price. This AWD version offers 243 miles of EPA-estimated range and a quick 0-60 time of 3.4 seconds. In this video, I’ll break down the U.S.-specific trims, pricing, and how this version compares to the ones sold in Europe and China.

Prices are set to rise by up to $9,000 CAD (up to $14,000 compared to Dec 2024), and we explore how the loss of federal rebates and potential tariffs could be driving these changes. We also examine the broader impact on EV pricing and demand in Canada because Tesla may not be the only automaker introducing pricing increased in Canada.

Email from Jake Bley: Hi Kyle and Dave (sorry for the late email), not your usual content but given how connected you are in the community I wanted to share. Your support will allow us to reach as many impacted individuals as possible.


Today we’re providing an update on the support provided by Ford in response to the wildfires in Los Angeles. Ford has always shown up for communities, and we are committed to being there for the greater Los Angeles area, now and over the long journey ahead.


To assist our owners within the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Designated Disaster Area 4856, Ford has launched the following.


Payment Deferrals:

Ford Credit is offering 120-day payment deferrals to affected customers. Customers can contact their dealer or Ford Credit for more information.


Pricing:

California Wildfires Disaster Relief employee pricing on select new 2024-2025 Ford models will be available at participating Ford Dealers through March 31, 2025, for eligible California residents who lost their vehicle due to the fires. Customers can contact their local dealer for more information.


BlueOval Charge Network California Wildfires Reimbursement Program:

All BlueOval Charge Network charging sessions initiated within the FEMA designated areas from January 7, 2025 through January 31, 2025 will be reimbursed to the customer.


Fast Charging Adapters:

We are temporarily holding open adapter reservation shipments for customers in certain impacted areas until it is feasible to resume.

For displaced customers, we will expedite address changes and hold shipments at the customer's request.

A shipment of adapters has been sent to dealers in the immediate area. This is to support customers with immediate charging needs, including those utilizing their vehicles to power support.

Ford Power Promise:

If a customer received a complimentary home charger and standard installation through Ford Power Promise and subsequently lost their home in the fires, Ford will replace their charger and cover the cost of a standard installation for a replacement charger. More information on this initiative to come.


Support continues with Team Rubicon, California Community Foundation, American Red Cross, and Feeding America to assist relief efforts.

Spanning over 63 hours from Seattle to Boston, the team faced unique challenges as they piloted one of the first DC fast charging EVs, a vehicle now over a decade old, against modern electric vehicles like the Porsche Taycan, Lucid Air, and Tesla Model 3.


We dive deep into their strategy, exploring how they managed frequent charging stops, optimized efficiency with Tesla’s Supercharger network, and coped with the quirks of older EV technology. They reflect on the evolution of Tesla's technology, the surprising endurance of their benchmark vehicle, and memorable moments, including landmarks, team banter, and late-night hallucinations during their sleep-deprived adventure.

Ryan talks about his route and how along the way the fact that only V2 Superchargers are available make CCS charging the preferred way to charge. They dive into how Ryan logs his Tesla Model 3 roadtrip data, the importance of charging speeds and locations of EV chargers, benefits of an LFP battery, hotel electric vehicle charging amenities, and how we think the charging experience might change with the switch over to NACS and more cars on the Tesla network.
