My plan is to adorn it with some mud. Maybe a nice smelly gas station tree hanging from the rear view mirror. Oh, and a bumper sticker that reads "my other ride is Your Mom". I figure that will endear me to the locals.
I've been trying to save money for a down payment. I expect my place in line to land sometime within 2024, so if I continue to save and not spend recklessly, I will be able to sell my old truck and add to a decent down payment.
I plan on selling off vehicles. But not the Electric versions. So, yeah, the F250 will either be sold or rebuilt as a project car then sold as an antique. The only vehicles that I plan on keeping are the Model Y, the Cybertruck, and my 66 Galaxie that I may electrify too. Until the charging...
I am expecting the RV manufacturers to start knocking on the door soon. Converting a 300 mile variant into a luxury motorhome just seems like a natural progression. Once the markets gets a taste of the cost per mile, Tesla will be inundated.
This! This is a great lead in to why as a smaller vehicle you look both ways before crossing tracks and never stop on the tracks even at a stop light. Also, regarding tractor/trailers (semi), give them wide berth and make sure they see you. Even a super safe Tesla will be a pancake of blood...
Yes, your understanding is almost correct. Where we disconnected is the intent of the word "stall". What I had hoped you would understand is that stall does not equal die. When a electric motor stalls, it is still working against the load and inertia. When a diesel stalls it dies and you have...
As a lab tech I have a singular issue with the last statement. I understand your point that "near infinite" is a stupid catch phrase. But, The railroad system may disagree with you. The persistence of an electric motor's torque is why our rail system uses diesel over electric. The diesel...
I think this is a great idea! Not to diminish your grand design, but you could still get quite the Taj-Ma-Haul with the same platform with slide outs and a retractable penthouse of your own design and still not exceed the space allotment of a standard RV bay. I would love to see what you come...
There is also the Hot springs hotel just outside of Union. It is still in the process of upgrades by a new owner and management. But, they have a theater, bar, and lodging... and it has been on the "Most haunted" list for quite a while being an historic sanitarium/hospital/therapeutic hot...
Let me know when you go. Maybe I'll come down from the Blue mountains and compare with you. I driven most of the Oregon coast down to Northern California, but only glimpsed the California coast as a kid.
I just watched a report that the driver has been arrested for attempted murder. The authorities have probable cause that this was intentional. So... This is a feel good story where Tesla engineers are heroic designers of exceptionally safe cars.
