    "Stuck Detection" being considered for Cybertruck -- will give driver tips to get un-stuck

    Most vehicles have something called a differential which splits the power from the central drivetrain to each of the wheels on that axle. Unfortunately, due to the rules of physics if a tire starts slipping, then all of the power goes there and none to the tire that has traction. A locker locks...

    Cybertruck “Slow boiling Frog” moment

    That would be. I'd never say it for those reasons either.

    Cybertruck “Slow boiling Frog” moment

    Driving it really put the underscore and exclamation point on the shitty build quality. If the demo is that bad...damn!! So yes, go drive it. You will both laugh and cry. I did learn however that if I need to be single I can just bring one of these home and she's out.

    Cybertruck “Slow boiling Frog” moment

    I was ready to buy the promised truck the split second that I could. I had told everyone that this was my plan. We really do need a truck, and having only a sedan was limiting. But I didn't want old-tech junk like the Lightning, so it was really only the CT for me. But then reality hit, the...

    Cool Night Time Drone Video in Downtown Houston

    LOL... It's such a damn mess. Working on part 107, for no really super-specific reason. And put off by dealing with the stupidity of the FAA. A few years ago I got into a pissup with a local small airport owner and a team of FAA lawyers. That was fun. Actually, in all seriousness it really...

    Cool Night Time Drone Video in Downtown Houston

    LOL, extremely unlikely. There are so many idiots doing so much worse. The entire flight starts from being illegal due to lack of proper lighting. Of course, all of the regs that were broken are useless and unrelated to safety, which is the entire state of drone regulation right now.

    Cool Night Time Drone Video in Downtown Houston

    Portrait video for literal landscapes is a new level of awful. This looks like an FPV flight; it's a little more jumpy than most camera drones, but also could have been sped up. I've done some follow-me videos off road with a DJI Mini 4 Pro. This is a super-simple one that just shows the the...

    Brushed Steel Wrap (Avery)

    Wait you wrapped a stainless steel vehicle in faux stainless vinyl??? Did I get that right? I get that it's brushed but still find it funny.

    Beware of Valets

    It's just a damn car. Get over yourselves. It's not your first born child.

    FINALLY CYBERTRUCK PRICES ARE CRASHING !

    No, you can't see that. I'm not aware of any way to see what they are actually GOING FOR. Just ads from dreamer owners.

    Ordered a Rivian R1T after owning a Cybertruck for three months

    No, I'm very familiar with the "problem."

    Ordered a Rivian R1T after owning a Cybertruck for three months

    Definitely, which Rivian is just now moving towards. Gen 2 cleans up 1.6 miles of wiring and goes towards a zonal rather than domain-based vehicle management system. They now make their own motors, not Bosch. Etc. Meanwhile I can put my huge-ass dirt bike in it, and also the rather large...

    Ordered a Rivian R1T after owning a Cybertruck for three months

    I tell this to Rivian people all the time. It's the same reason that the Apple ecosystem keeps people in it; cohesive, always works, and you never have to wonder if doing X will cause Y problem due to immature integration. Sometimes this gets me called a Tesla fanboi.

    Ordered a Rivian R1T after owning a Cybertruck for three months

    I gave up waiting for the CT and got a 2022 Launch Edition R1T. The lack of Autopilot on city streets is terrible. Here are my notes so far on the good/bad compromises. Rivian Tesla comparison Missing in comparison to Tesla: Autopilot on streets. Not charging notification when at...

    Triple Chalk Grey Cybertruck w/ wrapped bumpers and 24" Monoblock wheels

    That's hilarious, it's the same GIF that all my friends posted in response to sending them this abomination.

    Earth day Rivian R1 discount - $5K discount when you trade a gas car.

    LOL, I can assure you that of all the people who have told me they wouldn't buy a Tesla because of the narcissistic man-child, not one would be able to deal with being on Reddit. I love the irony of the idiots on one extreme political side or the other having a struggle with someone making EVs...

    Earth day Rivian R1 discount - $5K discount when you trade a gas car.

    Because I've held two CT reservations for years and would have bought one in a split second if I could have. That sounds fun, thanks for suggesting it.
