    Vehicles that perform "ICE-ing" at Tesla SuperChargers

    Anytime there is change that some people can't or won't adapt to there will be tools that do things to start something. The Pilot truckstop near me has a supercharge area. They placed it close to the Wendy's in the store so the terminally lazy and stupid regularly park in the charger spots to...

    VIDEO - Tesla Cybertruck TeraFactory Site Construction Is Well Underway

    I appreciate the answers.....comedy relief and all but I'm really interested in the design. Any design engineers on here that can give some insight as to the lack of square corners? It's not like we got anything else to do until our trucks get here.

    Financing my CT.......Tesla stock or savings account

    I invested another 5K in my stock account which allowed me to buy 21 shares at about 721 per share. Telsa closed at $1,114.00 today. I'm around $14,500 to the good. Several of the financial pundits I follow are predicting between 2500 and 3500 per share by 2025. Even the lamestream financial...

    VIDEO - Tesla Cybertruck TeraFactory Site Construction Is Well Underway

    Ok I got a question. Why are all four corners of the factory lopped off? The building is not a true rectangle due to the corners not being square. Is there a practical reason for this or is it just to make people like me ask questions? Inquiring minds want to know.

    My 2022 Cybertruck MSRP predictions. Are you sitting down?

    We just dropped 73K on a 22 Dodge 3500 dually with custom flatbed so I'm willing to go 75K on my CT when they get it built. I'm hoping that with what ever EV incentive the political critters come up with, what my Tesla stock is worth and my saved up down payment money will drop the price to...

    Practical stealth (or boondock) camper

    You should be able to either sleep reclined in the front seats, stretched out across the back seat or sleep in the vault. A single sized air mattress would prob fit behind the front seats and the back of the rear seat. The military also has some great sleeping mats that do not require inflation...

    Should this old guy “connect” via twitter to follow Elon Musk? How to stay up to date?

    Concerning Farcebook, Twitter and other mass social outlets I always defer to Mark Twain. "Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."

    You do not want to purchase an ICE pickup truck now (ask me how I know)

    Update.......We found a 2022 Ram 3500 cab and chassis with 4WD and the Cummins diesel near us and bought it. We had a flatbed with storage boxes installed and financed 63K after the 10K down payment. Yep the beast probably cost more than my CT will but we have a working farm and have to have a...

    ? New Cybertruck video showing (removable) side mirrors, rear wheel steering, turning radius!

    I'm eagerly awaiting my CT but if they come out with a van version before the CT is ramped up I'll jump ship and wait on the van. Or I'll take delivery of the CT and sell it when the van comes out. I've been driving a Nissan E200 for the last four years (and will drive it until the CT is ready)...

    Anyone considering getting Solar with the new Green Act

    If I were to do new construction I would include it in the price of the house. At my age a new mortgage is not in the cards. Our power bill averages about 250 a month for the house, small detached garage, big workshop with apartment built in and a security light that we pay a monthly fee for. We...

    If you want an BEV truck quickly, Rivian is the way to go.

    My guess is that they are burning cash at an alarming rate and needed to sell some stock to refill the coffers. I wish them all the luck in the world but without the software, the practical knowledge in ramping up production an a big network of chargers they are still way behind the eight ball.

    Configurations and Pricing Removed From Cybertruck Website!

    They may be planning on dropping the RWD version. I haven't seen a breakdown of how many of each version have been pre-ordered. If the percentage of RWD is low enough to risk losing those buyers Tesla may opt to do that and get other buyers their trucks faster. They will still make it up in...

    Tesla Cybertruck is Now Cheapest Tesla You Can Order

    If I'm locked in at 70K and I put another 5k on the price then Tesla is still going to make a chunk of money depending on what my options cost them. Not counting FSD I can't see adding 10K to the price of mine with options. If they make FSD a monthly subscription so much the better. Tesla may...

    Tesla Cybertruck is Now Cheapest Tesla You Can Order

    I'm no account but if you have 1.5 million vehicles pre-sold and you make $1000.00 bucks on each vehicle you just put 1.5 billion in the bank. After the initial pre-sales are delivered Tesla could raise (or lower) the price as they see fit. There is also the add-ons that people will opt for. The...

    California bans gas-powered lawn equipment and other “small off-road engines”

    I have the Harbor Fright electric chain saw and pole saw......bought them in anticipation of winter deadfalls on the fence line but haven't had to use either. I'll prob add a leaf blower since we have oak trees around the house and I don't rake yards. I found this interesting. I follow this guy...

    EV truck reservation poll

    My money is down on the CT and will stay down. I have long been a fan of electric vehicles and I always said when they made one that I could afford that would smoke a Hellcat I would buy one. The CT tri-motor will cost more than the first two houses I bought but I have the disposable income and...

    [VOX] Self-driving cars: The 21st-century trolley problem

    I have no problem with self-driving technology. As a former Commercial Driver that hauled tanker loads of HAZMAT I firmly believe there are some people that should never be allowed to operate a go cart much less an automobile. At some point in time I may take a subscription to FSD if I think my...
