That’s my assertion. IIHS hasn’t replaced mirrors because mirror-truth hasn’t been met.
I’ve driven camera backup for years. I do not find truth in the display. It is helpful that AR lane marking and audio warning signals aide interpreting a camera display. But nothing in-camera has come close...
It is charge port .vs. ICE gas cap mentality. A vestige.
Reminiscent of gas pumps, hoses and dirty smelly fill-ups the charge door opens from the past that the vehicle is not even a part. From designer inception to prototype the charge port has assumed the position. A position that it did not...
During the 5th China International Import Expo (CIIE), Nov 5-10, typical of Tesla in the way that they used glittering and direct descriptors “beyond imagination” and “define benchmarks” to describe its S3XY vehicles.
Stainless and Performative are two unassailable and untouchable humblebrags...
What will be the range of the fourth?
Rivian R1T range is 314
GM Hummer is 343
FORDe Lightning is 270
Tesla Cybertruck ___
Is it Go Big or Go Home, A Mileage Match or something else?
Misunderstood…misread “Panic Button” nanny engineering to provide safety device in event of Armageddon.
Sure, spring release minimizes driveaway damage as well. That’s idiotproofing. I’ve driven off once. I’m an idiot.
Irrespective that technically Elon will be correct on both points, I think it is the weakest claim put forth to vaunt Cybertruck.
Elon needs to either boat CT or clarify that it will act as life preserver for X minutes, allowing time to escape a wet situation.
Tesla have made only claim to...
Anybody. Anyone know whether the Octovalve system can uptake and utilize charge cable heat produced in the cord itself during the duration of charging a Cybertruck?
Obviously, Tesla chargers do not.
Interestingly, floatation doesn’t exactly happen in that manner. Its a fallacy to consider Cybertrucks waterproof as floatation. Yes, float exists but in the boat launch scenario Cybertruck owners can be rest assured that the ass-end of their truck isn’t going to rise, lose rear tire contact...
Tesla goes BYC, placing the cord on owners, the plug receptacles can be located inside the frunk easier than focusing on OG Gas cap locations outside - on the body.
Frunk access is shortest path to connect to chargers from either, and both, sides of a Cybertruck. It’s non-interfering...
As in “Drive aways”?
Moot point if interest rates sky. Homeless and desperate will drive away with those charge cables anyway. Suspect EV future will be BYC(Bring your cable) but the acronym will be fancier.
All respects to Godwin et. al. those of us here now, all of us, are survivors.
tl;dr
We the living are who are traumatized to this day. Under our very noses, an affront to everything for which those of us who believe in freedom were attacked. Not just hit neither. The USA was attacked...
Truck Specialties with class3–7 trucks dominate custom builds. But smart money will jump at a Semi in that price range, rather than skimp, down sizing to a lower class truck platform to both fit a specific use case and build an operation around when they can run a Semi on elec. juice.
Dependent...
Nah, just having a go at the pre-release profile drop.
What’s left? What would you do if the SUV pickup, regular stakebed work pickup and camp pickup were already contested? I’m Stellantis with a great name like RAM, I can’t go compact, so go Big or go home.
Operations head at Tesla is that rare masochist who could’ve graduated from an elite 8 in Physics or McGill in Science but couldn’t pander to institutional bureaucracy and dropped out.
A job like Operations head is going to be the kind of test, daily, that feeds a dropout’s sense of...
You chose the two legacy OEM’s both of which are bankrupt by 2026. SLOWLY isn’t the ship that makes course correction in time. FORDe is at least owning that to have a chance it needed to abandon ship to a lighter, more nimble startup to have any chance.
GM is sticking to its big guns hoping...
Argh…Cowboys come in a variety, a package deal with the horse they rode in on and Geniuses are no different. I’ve worked with only two true genius’s and can’t vouch for Elon’s gift but you can’t argue with his tenacity.
Look startups are a clusterfuck. A veritable moneybag with cons around...
