What’s surprising about that?

Reading quickly, I got “the hole in your face brutalist aura…” Changes the meaning ?

Would rigid wires, which are easier to automate, be less vulnerable to rats?

That sounds awesome. I’ll wait on my #460K before driving out for your 2nd or 3rd annual, SolarWizard.

So many nooks and crannies for dirt and grease to hide! Smooth is much lower maintenance

But, other than that, what did the Romans ever give us?

That’s where they put the sail storage!!! ?

I plan to carry two mountain bikes on occasional trips from Santa Cruz to SW Utah, so closed vault for maximum range is important. I’m imagining removing one pedal from each to lay flat, overlapping wheels, handlebars forward where vault is tallest. Still, front wheels come off so easily, I may...

Only once in my life have I ever asked a driver what color his car was. It was a candy apple red with metal fleck Corvette. Stunning! I am happy looking at something high maintenance, but do not wish to be responsible for it. Paintless Cybertruck for me!

Well, JBee is pointing out that the cabin is surrounded by glass, which has higher thermal conductivity than the stainless steel enveloping the vault. Thermal conductivity is bad for climate control. Tesla has proven they can handle this because all of their cars are glass boxes, but it must’ve...

Nicely done! Great images. Leaving the fantasy of the Huracán, I favor the Odyssey because it maintains the manufacturability of origami. Any flowing curves in the panels (which most images sport) likely means we’d lose much of the benefits of 30x SS. The Odyssey could be the smaller...

That would be good for storage, but it feels inefficient to me to remove firm yet soft seats in favor of plywood, which I have to cushion with a Thermarest or air mattress. The CT comes with cushioned surfaces ?

For the CT, would it work for the front seats to slide far enough forward for the backseats to not fold up? If the flat area extends onto the backseats, that would provide a long enough bed for not just napping, but sleeping.

… and that is why I would like a refrigerated frunk integrated with HVAC. An aftermarket refrigerator fights against the heat it creates inside the frunk/cabin/bed.

Model Tau is the closest to Model T they can get

TLDR: “In commercial battery cells, there is tape — like Scotch tape — that holds the electrodes together, and there is a chemical decomposition of this tape, which creates a molecule that leads to the self-discharge.” Higher temperatures accelerate this decomposition, whose products shuttle...

A few thoughts on the article (excerpts in bold): “Stainless steel is typically heavier than the steel used in most other cars, reducing driving range.” True if the 3 mm stainless steel were simply replacing the <1 mm steel in conventional trucks, but it’s not. It is going to provide much of...

Santa Cruz, not far from Crissa

New (1/30/2023) research at Stanford explains why lithium metal batteries with solid electrolytes short. TLDR: “Just modest indentation, bending or twisting of the batteries can cause nanoscopic fissures in the materials to open and lithium to intrude into the solid electrolyte causing it to...

I was hoping for something credible, not in-
