Wahoo Elemnt Ace: Innovative but Oversized Cycling GPS

The Wahoo ACE Cycling GPS, priced at $599, offers a large color touchscreen, a bike bell, and a wind sensor, but falls short on features and battery life. Despite its promising design, it lacks many functionalities found in previous Wahoo models and those advertised, such as live tracking and Strava Live Segments, which are expected in future updates. The device's battery life is significantly less than the claimed 30 hours, and its size and weight may be cumbersome for some users. Overall, the ACE feels unfinished and overpriced compared to competitors.

"Cybertruck Achieves 254-Mile Range in Real-World Highway Test"

The Tesla Cybertruck's first highway range test revealed it could only travel 254 miles on a full charge at 70mph, significantly less than the expected 320 miles for the tri-motor version and 318 miles for the dual-motor with all-terrain tires. This result is concerning for potential buyers, especially considering the impact of colder climates and towing on the range. The Cybertruck's range can be extended by an additional 130 miles with a Range Extender, but at a high cost and with a significant space trade-off in the truck's bed.

"Cybertruck Proves Its Mettle with 254-Mile Highway Range Test"

An independent highway range test of the Tesla Cybertruck resulted in a 254-mile drive on a single charge, falling short of the EPA's estimated 320 miles. The test was conducted in cold weather at 46 F (8 C) and at a constant speed of 70 mph. Concerns have been raised about the Cybertruck's performance in colder temperatures and when towing loads, especially without the additional "range extender" battery system, which costs $16,000 and takes up space in the truck bed.
