So it looks like the DeLorean Alpha is now available to reserve.
They have the following 3 step reservation process:
So basically, it costs $88 + $2,500 to get a randomized position until all the positions are gone. Then if you want a position, it costs $88 + what the market will bear to...
Today Farzad Mesbahi had a Youtube community video to talk about the video we've all seen from Matthew Donegan-Ryan:
Here is the video from Farzad:
Interesting thing came up in the chat. One of the participants was Brian Wang of NextBigFuture. He has an article called Tesla Cybertruck...
EV Maintenance and Ownership Isn't Everything It's Cracked Up to Be
Customer service satisfaction among EV owners is considerably lower than for owners of ICE cars due to recalls and a lack of expertise, data suggests.

Electric vehicle owners are relatively dissatisfied with...
Here we have discussed so many of the possible ways the CT could be used and all the various contraptions one might want to use. There is always someone trying to discount those ideas saying no one needs to do that.
But here is a company (Peak Evolution) that is making a vehicle that is capable...
So in another thread, I had the occasion to use ChatGPT to write the outline of a movie script that would heavily feature the Cybertruck. I think it turned out spectacularly well. It was interesting how the outline was so capable of showing off certain features of the Cybertruck. So I thought...
So I was playing with ChatGPT wondering about the future of humanity. Given all the amazing developments coming with the CT, who knows what else will be coming. Let's ask AI and see!!
My request:
Here are the various answers that came back:

So this is interesting.
Munro Live did an interview showing the REEcorner. Basically a modular drive unit that is used for a single corner of the vehicle.
Couple things here... It allows for 4 wheel steering. Everything is drive/steer by wire. I don't know how reliable this companies products...
Some amazing information here. And lots of Tesla related references. And even more thoughts that are directly relevant to the disruptions Tesla is bringing about.
There have been many people in our crowd that have proposed adding a generator to their CT to extend the range. Here is a video of someone who did the same thing for a MS.
Ran into this video today.
So this brings up lots of interesting questions to research. This video is probably specific to Australia but the exact same questions should be posed to insurance companies around the world. And now that Elon says the CT is practically a boat, perhaps we need boat...
From this article on electrek:
So wait... They are going to combine "interactive robot emotion" with their FSD AI? Um... What does AI road rage look like? If the conditions are rainy for too long, does the car get depressed and slow down? Do I have to listen to it complain about the weather...
So I'm reading various sources about the newly proposed tax credit for EV's. For example here is an article from Electrek.
Looking into the details of the tax credit though, one thing I'm noticing that so far I've not seen anyone comment on is that:
I haven't yet seen the actual bill or the...

So I just saw this Tesla the other day while driving around:
Didn’t get a picture but as I passed them, it was clear that the roof was open above the driver and was pushed back over the rear seat area.
Is this a Tesla option? Or does some company cut into the glass roof to create this...
Not sure if this belongs in charging or in investing.
I wish I could start buying empty land pots and start putting in charging stations. Does Tesla allow others to build out Tesla charging stations? I know there are other companies but at the moment Tesla has such a head start, I’d like to...
