$400/six months when I got it in January. Geico just raised it to $450 with $500 deductible on a Pro in Maryland. With front wheels that close to the bumper and giga cast probably damaged, if it is not totaled, it won't be cheap.

This makes it clear what Optimus first job will be. Especially with what is happening with UAW, Tesla must be getting ready to replace the remaining workers with Optimus if they become demanding.

It looks like if Tesla gets into a price war, it could have half price deals on these and still make money. The sad thing is nobody except Chinese can give them that price war (certainly not the big three, especially after this strike). He said the "Jigga casting" was the expensive part. I...

Let us know how the new R1T compare to the old one and if you had to choose between the new R1T and the new R1S, which one would you pick.

CT is like a chameleon. Half sky, half R1S.

If there is a lady shallow enough to need a CT to go out with me, then I will have to go through with the purchase.

Makes sense. This is from Limiting Factor: This is his projection:

After all these years I am still having problem getting a date. Did they announce it?

If car prices keep going up and incomes don't keep up (many live off of their pension), that may push people to public transportation and more sustainable living. That may in fact improve quality of life, reduce energy consumption, traffic congestion and pollution. I definitely enjoyed my...

I just noticed your occupation. What kinda arms dealer are you?

I was thinking the same before I bought my Lightning. I still do. Not because my dealership experience was awful. In fact it went very smoothly but I had to spend a ridiculous amount of time online to make sure I don't get screwed. All else being equal, I would jump at CT or Rivian in a...

I can barely remember my name when I am sleep deprived. Hope you either had a lot of fun, made a lot of money or both on at least one end of that plane ride. Get some sleep, it is a cheap way of making the world a better place.

That is why I put it out to the forum. Last time I did math was more than 3 decades ago. I think the disconnect is here not your calculation: 0.5∗0.46∗A∗rho∗(80)2=0.5∗0.3∗A∗rho∗(80−x)2 Left side is Lightning. Right side is CT. We want to know by how much Lightning should slow down to...

Shrinkage is not as bad as you think. It is a fact of life that is widely understood and accepted. You gotta learn to live with it. It is natural. Trucks can't get larger and larger indefinitely. This was inevitable.

I think you solved for the wrong V. This is my calculation: 0.5∗0.46∗A∗rho∗Vsq=0.5∗0.3∗A∗rho∗(80sq) 0.46∗Vsq=0.3∗(80sq) Vsq=1920/0.46 V= 64.6 I am not saying turbulence can not be helpful. Just saying I doubt that flat surface in the back window area was intentional to help drag coefficient...

I wonder if the owner of that house would respond in kind (shoot me now), to spending 4 hrs on cutting grass. I am somewhere in between.

A second Tesla was going in after CT. That is a magic garage. Kinda like those magic cars with endless capacity for people.

Image above does not but the link I provided shows exactly what happens to the air flow. I do get your point that it could potentially assist but this kind of assistance to me is like tax right off. It may be reducing the damage somewhere else but even if it does, it often causes more damage...

Very interesting about the vortex. Would have never thought of it. However I think the dude was going a bit overboard with making everything sound like an aerodynamic design choice.

If we go down that rabbit hole, how often truck owners use bed of the truck? or car owners drive their cars during ownership? Taxi and trains seem to be the solution not CT.
