“Information is not knowledge.” ― Albert Einstein Information... Information... In these modern times we are often fire-hosed with so much information that we drown in it.... Not with the CyberTruck. At the unveiling, Elon gave us a tantalizing tease, but since then we've been wandering in...

Two Pros wrap it Two Hours. That's what it will take. You could roll out one giant sheet of wrap and do an entire side of the vehicle in one piece. Same thing front and back. Four total pieces does the whole vehicle. It suddenly occurs to me, "Why am I even talking about this?" It's a truck...

You guys are worried bout nothing. Only one thing makes wrapping a "normal" car difficult, That is stretching a flat sheet of material to match the curved surface of body panels. This problem does not exist with the flat panels of a CT. This will be the easiest vehicle of all time to wrap, by a...

Typically, my cable box shows programming two weeks into the future, Above, I gave the date Thursday 5-20. That was incorrect. Correct info is WEDNESDAY 5-20. But who cares about that episode? WEDNESDAY 5-27-20 JAY LENO'S GARAGE: RISK VS REWARD : Jay learns the automotive world is not for the...

I have a ton of seamless textures for people to try.. http://images.planet-mofo.com/A-Delusion/seamless/ Below is the texture neon_plumbing.png

Trucks don't have four doors. LOSE THE REAR DOORS AND SEATS, then you got plenty of room for a long bed. I swear to dawg that I'm ripping the rear seats out of mine and making a racking system to fit the space..

Looking at my Cable box's channel line-up... it doesn't look like the CT is in the first episode of next season. Saturday 5-16 10PM "Sneak Preview" - It's five minutes long. No other information. Thursday 5-20 10PM "Dare to Dream" - Jay hits the road to meet people who've had the courage to...

Pretty close to nothing that it will see in normal situations will corrode the surface. Maybe after fifteen years of use in areas where road salt is used, there will be some slight pitting of the surface? Some chemicals can discolor stainless. If you do get chemicals on there, just rinse it...

Isn't most of the difficulty in wrapping a vehicle involved with fitting the flat wrap around curved surfaces? If all the panels are completely flat, doesn't that make the process of wrapping the vehicle much much easier? Will it be much cheaper than a "normal" car to pay a pro to do it? Even...

I have heard that wraps have a very tough time sticking to stainless with a brushed finish, I think if they are talking about wraps this much, you can rule out a brushed finish on the final product. Looking at images, it's hard to tell exactly what the finish is. The photos I have seen it looks...

Lithium battery production is an extremely complex subject, and it intersects Tesla at so many tangents that they really did need four seperate videos to scratch the surface of the issue. I won't even attempt a guess. I'd really need to make an entire series of guesses. Instead, I will go off...

So the ladder rack was right there all the time... all I had to do was look. I've been fooled... again. That also is the best pic of the inside of the sail pillar storage I've seen. I wish the sail pillar door opened down instead of up. The doors on the toolboxes on my truck now make a very...

It is incredibly difficult to start a new company selling vehicles. When was the last time it was successfully done in the US, before Tesla? Pre WWII? Now add three entirely new technologies to the mix, with batteries, efficient electric motors, and computer self driving. Next this new company...

About the weight of the 3mm stainless body.... How much does the frame of an F150 weigh? I'd say it's "a heck of a lot" The CT has no frame. The CT trades the weight of a frame for extra weight in the body. The body of the CT is probably about the same weight as the body and frame of a regular...

In a language everybody can easily understand. Take these steps to extend the useful lifetime of your lithium cells. #1 will kill your battery every time, #2 just might kill YOU! 1. NEVER, repeat NEVER OVER-DISCHARGE your battery. It's the easiest way to kill any lithium cell. Over-discharge...

Have been looking for more pics showing the steel edge-on, to hopefully get a better idea of how thick... Here's a couple of screen caps. Both are from the unveiling event. This is inside the bed, with the tailgate down, and you can see the latch the tailgate hooks to. Look just above the...

There is a button to control the vault door right where that left/rear post is, but I think we can get around it. I think maybe there's one of those buttons on the passenger side too. The exact height of anything sticking out the back is a pivotal point. I'd prefer those boards to be at least...

I've seen quotes like this about twenty times on this forum and it's starting to piss me off. You city boys just don't know what the hell you're talking about. Now I'm a city boy too, and I can see why you'd think that that's how it is. Where you are, that's what you see. But it just isn't so...

Published just today, here is another video predicting Tesla's announcements on battery investor day. It covers the issue from several angles. If you know battery tech you could skip the first five minutes.. It's pretty matter-of-fact, nothing stood out as being over-hype.

I believe that approximately 90 percent of the calculations discussed in this thread will be turned to dust after the next "battery day". Tesla has recently purchased new battery technology (Maxwell), and a company that makes battery factory equipment (Hibar). Musk has talked about a "Million...
