We heard this was coming... But Tesla turned off the tap. Elon did say they didn't know when they'd be able to fulfill all the reservations, and they have more than they could fulfill in three years... And that they'd stop taking reservations they don't know when they can get to. Well, it...

I was told by a friend who lives down there that he keeps seeing them on the road. But it's always been tough to tell their prototypes from their renders, but I guess they're ready to start showing that they have multiple of them. No idea how they'll get them made; they've had a couple of...

Cars designed to do this are being told to sandbag bs modified cars. -Crissa

Okay, it's not fair at all. A used Zero can be had for $6K and even the fanciest one doesn't break $30K. You get two seats and no DC charging. But a Zero is a great complement vehicle. It can fit in places not even a compact car will go. And the DS and FX models are great offroad - and at...

Tesla just posted the full video from the drones. Of note, we get to see inside the gigapress. -Crissa

We knew this day was coming... but here it happened without fanfare. I wonder how long until it operates fully without drivers? It is a closed track. -Crissa

Alot of these features are standard on Tesla vehicles, of course. -Crissa

(I promise there's a point) So my clothes washer died after seventeen years of near daily service. It was one of those special large, commercial-sized but all-in-one ventless units. It wasn't without its quirks, I had to tear it down every other year and fix something, clean out the heater...

The question of how Tesla is going to adhere things to the folded steel and avoid cathodic corrosion? Well... the secret is just a minute into this: Tesla takes a piece of steel and sticks it in the middle of a nylon injection molding machine to have pre-formed plastic through and against...

Here Jordan Giesige covers how the new gigacastings work with the exoskeleton. -Crissa PS, the meat is nine minutes in, but we've discussed this so much, his diagrams and background should be helpful.

It's come up more than a few times, but I really like urban planning. And we all like trucks - at least the Cybertruck. So we want to get away from urban places. But making those urban areas stronger, perhaps ironically, makes our remote places more protected, too. Cool maps in this video...

https://www.arcimoto.com/flatbed Highway capable, single seat. Does it get any smaller? The bed slides out to a full width, collapses down when not in use. Arcimoto also said DC charging is in the future.Pretty cool, tho spouse wants something with at least four seats in our fleet. -Crissa

I know alot of us have hedged their bets with more than one reservation. I have an Aptera and Silverado reservations; when I reserved the Cybertruck there weren't other options, and my budget has gotten better since. Lately, I've heard a bunch of people have been able to configure their Ford...

So yeah, I guess it was there for looks? -Crissa

Gold line GM, Red Line Tesla, Blue line (upper) EV They also emailed the ad to Silverado reservation holders. -Crissa

https://www.repairerdrivennews.com/2022/02/08/tesla-issues-seatbelt-recall-on-over-817000-vehicles/ It's over the air, but... this also seems petty. I'm pretty sure all my manual transmission cars don't chime when I get back into them after leaving them idling until reaching the speed level...

Beginning of March is so soon! -Crissa

Aptera has three alphas and several betas. As a smaller company with more to lose, they're making up media to keep their investors invested. This isn't something Tesla has had to do for like fifteen years, alas. -Crissa
