I adamantly disagree with this post. I grew up in Michigan in the 1950s through the 1980s and witnessed firsthand the degradation of auto (and other) businesses by unions. Throughout college I worked in nonunion factories where the owners went out of their way to satisfy workers needs and...

Yes…just in time for 2680s, microchips and new computer os…

Exciting news…got my heart rate up again.

watch the movie

It wasn’t the cocain that got him…that was entrapment, it was the missing 17M.

If you haven’t yet, watch this docu drama about John Delorean and his ill fated stainless auto. There are many ways that a car company can go wrong. Thank you Elon for not going down this road. https://www.netflix.com/title/81092223?s=i&trkid=13747225&clip=81417708

Odd comparison of apples and oranges. No mention of functionality because there is no comparison. Neither of the saloons could carry a load of lumber, go off road, house a full sized bed, or tow anything. My feeling just with regard to design is that the enduring design of the ultra futuristic...

I want those swiveling wheels for space flight.

Took a quick online used Tesla look, and many advertise w/FSD.

I don’t get why so many complaints...it’s an option, just let it go, and be happy with the free driving assist. I’ve driven both regular lane keep and speed control and there is no comparison to FSD. My model S has FSD from last year ($6000) and the upgrades just keep coming on line. Really...

I completely agree. So many issues: battery degradation, code compliance, recharging. Seems like best to let the truck be a truck, get couple of batteries for your solar system, and if you need emergency power just run an extension cord from the bed!

This sounds like a problem in the making. Distilled water is not ideal for nutrition. Any water accumulation, whether in my car or my basement is a potential nightmare. Dry is good in my book.

I got solar roof 10 years ago and Powerwalls last year. We have net metering but are paid about 1/3 for power produced and charged full price for power used. Central Hudson really has a scam going! With Powerwalls in the Summer I can charge all day and consume all night and still put a little in...

I would like the solar panels to cover both the bed cover and the glass roof for almost double solar production. Cordless charging...especially important if I want to use the CT as a CyberTaxi, so it can come home, park over charger and recharge. If it has to be plugged in and out it is not...
