Someone suggested Tesla’s PR efforts were amateur or childish in another thread… personally I think they are damned near spot on. They remind me of what is possibly the worlds best music video by the Beastie Boys. Other bands hire directors or do mega-splice ups of concert footage. The...

Well in the case of the Cybertruck we might not be able to open our doors again. Saw this on Twitter and :love: love it. I still wonder a bit about passenger doors and just walking past my truck and not wanting to open the door, but like looks A++ to me.

Tried searching for the source article here but came up blank so just a tweet. It’s good to see the Wolverine rumor re-emerge from it’s den. I know this would be a hugely popular trim. Take this all with a big grain of salt though, Trip Chowdhry‘s track record is spotty at best.

No funny business or questions this time, there a huge trucks with huge boxes and the word stamped on the side… IDRA Yes, that’s right… it’s a southbound Gigapress.

Elon Musk said there would be an updated Product Roadmap at the 4th quarter earnings call on the 26th (or so). What do you think will be announced during the product roadmap (Cybertruck specific)

This is a broad interview. Lots of SpaceX, Tesla, Mars colonization, FSD... FSD chat starts around the 1 hour mark so if that's your main interest, skip forward a lot; but the whole thing is interesting. Also, even the FSD stuff is kind of deep. Musk suggests "Level 4" self driving is likely...

Tesla snuck out a big UI update and this was part of it. I hadn't seen this but knew there was something and did it on my car and it was... stunning. Windows roll down so you can hear the music, they roll up and down during the song, the hatch pops open at one point... mirrors dance. It's...

Why on earth would anyone want a Calvin Peeing sticker on their truck when they could have Spaceman Spiff is completely beyond me. Sadly Bill Waterson seems to have no interest in something like this but a SpaceX Spaceman Spiff Cybertruck would be A+

https://www.theverge.com/2021/12/20/22839732/canoo-cto-cofounders-resign-shakeup-leadership-tony-aquila Not necessarily lights out for Canoo… but CTO and 2 founders??!! This can’t be good. I like Canoo. Or at least like the concept and they seemed like one of the less scammy startups.

Joe Tegtmeyer managed to snap some pretty nice shots of the progress on the 4680 production and there seems to be a bit more progress then I thought. Not being a battery guy, I kind of rely on these comments from someone who is. UPDATE: More and closer images

Progress on the Model 3 Model Y portion of the facility was said to cost $1b in some permits recently so there is a long way to go still in Texas.

Update: Elon Musk has since confirmed that this is not a production windshield wiper A couple quick thoughts. Front end is definitely a bit shorter. That wasn’t just an optical illusion. Big ass wiper on the driver side. Door handle gone Curved front window looks hot. Is it just me or is...

Car and driver tested the MS Plaid and it was able to charge 20% faster than the Model S LR. This is a really good sign of fast charging times to come. https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-model-s-plaid-quickest-charging-ev-car-and-driver/ Considering Musk has suggested the Cybertruck will be...

Managed to resist this one. https://shop.tesla.com/product/cyberquad-for-kids?sku=1714748-00-A Its really starting to feel like Tesla is teasing us at this point. The socks, the whistle, now this? They said the Cyberquad would be. I’m wondering if they build a baby production line for testing...

From Reuters: https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/stellantis-ceo-says-ev-cost-burden-is-beyond-limits-automakers-2021-12-01/ Imagine if Dell had said “The smartphone cost burden is beyond the limits for PC OEMs”… Keeping up with technology and the industry is literally his...

Mary Barra, claiming GM is the “US Leader in EVs” immediately after the interviewer pointed out Tesla had much greater market share. Musk’s reply here is A+. Genuinely laughed out loud.

This is pretty rad, this guy made a range extending trailer for his EV out of a scrapyard battery. He uses it on a RAV 4 and on a Model X. This first video shows a lot of the stuff he did to make this thing work. In the beginning, you see the end, built up trailer, then he meets up with...
