I do understand. There are so many industries that rely upon the traditional I.C.E. platform that Tesla keeps embarrassing. Each of these para-industries (my word) stand to lose when Tesla becomes the customer's choice. They keep trying to make the case that I.C.E. is still relevant...

Ask Papa Smurf? The man who swears that colloidal silver is safe despite the awesome permanent blue color of his skin.

I question any claim that professes to replace the material worn away by friction. I actually understand what is happening inside the cylinders. The friction is from spring steel rings and the physics of liquids (oil). The material is intended to seat/wear into shape against the cylinder wall...

With an effective price of $95.5K for the 2020 GT500, why are they comparing it to the model Y? The power, the price, and the passenger count should put it against the roadster or the model S. Even the Model X would be a more appropriate comparison.

I have a rack with a swing away rear cross bar. I like your thought process, and I am glad someone posed a rack concept. I don't like all the "fancy" stuff that weighs the truck down, blocks air flow, and makes it near impossible to access the vault. However, a rack concept that would allow me...

Local air pollution matters because the atmosphere is not homogeneous.

Absolutely! Also, props for quoting Mr. Pratchett. There is a difference here though, one that I regularly help people with in my town, that is the efficiency of internal combustion hasn't changed even with the switch from carburetion to fuel injection. Fuel injection started during the...

It isn't though. It almost mandates that ONLY those who are wealthy will afford electric vehicles. As an Oregonian, a rural Oregonian in a county that is full of subsistence level citizens, electric vehicles are a LUXURY. There is no way we are going to usher in an electric infrastructure if...

The statement wasn't how much money you need. It was about the necessity of additional tax breaks for the wealthy.

No. It sounds fair. But it works out to be a regressive tax again. Miles driven does not equate to wealth, as a matter of observation it is an inverse relationship. The wealthier a person is the less they have to commute. Pay per use is a trap. Those who require the use of the...

You make a good point. After all, Musk has said many times he is building this truck with simple flat lines because the stainless is so hard, and the intent is to streamline the production. This would make a feature like the T-groove plate floor an aspect that could seriously slow the...

I thought they were off topic too. It reads like dismissal, and distraction to me. I was going to respond, but I will let this stand as my response and drop the hasty misspelling, and redirection as a waste of time and energy.

I agree EVs need to pay for using the roads just like ICE vechiles do. I do not know if I agree with a per mile tax though. ICE vehicles pay a per gallon of gas tax regardless of how many miles said ICE vehicle may travel on the roads for that gallon of gas. For some it could be 5 miles for...

Yep, quartz is very hard stuff. I would expect granite, and sand to do a good job of scratching the stainless. How else will I be able to show that my truck has done work if it doesn't have a few scratches?!

I didn't see this question until just now. Are you sure you're a contractor?! Even with the spotty welds in my F250, the wheel wells encroaching on the bed, the filler neck tunnel for the fuel tank, and the hundreds of dents created when I've had a front loader dump aggregate into the bed from...

I do not question your qualifications. Nor do I disagree with the slats being dirt catchers. But unless the truck is built with materials other than the .30 stainless it will not be an issue with water, gravel, sand, or even cement. I may be a medical professional but do not assume that my...

I agree with you FutureBoy. Everyone seems to forget that electric motors (OLD technology electric motors) are what drives all of the rail trains here in the U.S... because it has an unbeatable torque profile and resiliency. Put new technology BEV into construction equipment and the reliability...

Nice truck!

Do you wash your car? Does it rain where you live? Have you ever seen the bed of a truck? No truck bed is flat, nor are they sealed like the vault is supposed to be. As for the sealed battery pack, I seriously doubt they would allow a flaw like that in a vehicle they have driven through a...

I'm looking at replacing my roof soon too and the Solar roof is just too enticing to ignore. My rates are based on hydroelectric and wind, but I still would like to have the solar with a power wall set up.
