I have never yet owned a Tesla. I am SOOOOO looking forward to owning a Cybertruck. But there are small little items that I wonder about. For instance, collision alerts in various situations. I currently drive a Toyota Sienna as a daily driver. It has a backup camera. It also has an alert...

I know, I know, it's Rivian. Not Cybertruck. But I would fully expect my Cybertruck to handle this same climb. I'm not sure I will be able to handle it as the driver.... But I expect my CT to do everything I can handle and a whole lot more. Watch Rivian R1S Amazing Steep Climb In Moab By...

Tesla Model 3’s “boat mode” videos are frightening and amazing at the same time BySimon Alvarez Posted on July 25, 2021 Any driver who has ever encountered floods knows just how unnerving the experience could be. Those who have driven a manual car through a flooded road would likely remember...

Tesla is sticking with yoke steering wheel; Elon Musk says progressive steering is still years away Fred Lambert - Jun. 17th 2021 2:32 pm PT @FredericLambert Tesla is really betting on the yoke steering wheel, which is making some nervous with the Cybertruck and Roadster prototypes also...

LOL. This won't compete with the Cybertruck. But if it had a fully electric drive train, it would be a wonderful companion vehicle. Just use it as a support vehicle around the farm. Quick trips into town. Or some of the easier offroad trails in the area. I like how they covered it in bed liner...

Ford patents mobile charging solution for EVs like the Mach-E — by towing them Electric vehicles are prevalent now, but long-distance travel using EVs that are non-Teslas still tends to be challenging. This was, at least, the conclusion drawn by motoring publication Car and Driver following its...

I found this to be really interesting. Even just to get an idea of size as a proxy of difficulty.

<TLDR> What I like about what Elon said is this part: What I like about this is that he, and by extension, Tesla is willing to make something dramatically different from the norm and take the risk. It’s something I wish more automakers would do. </TLDR> Elon’s Right, It’s Good That The...

I've been thinking bout the old Jurrasic Park movie today and remembering the scenes with people trying to escape various dinosaurs by driving away in various Jeeps. I was wondering how those scenes might be different if instead, they were driving around in Cybertrucks. I would say that the...

Honda and Komatsu Announce the Start of Joint Development of Micro Excavators Powered by Swappable Batteries - The two companies are collaborating for the joint development of electrified micro excavators powered by swappable Mobile Power Pack batteries and the establishment of a battery-sharing...

Looking at the videos of the ocean on fire a few days back. I have to say, it looks suspiciously like the portal that the Pacific Rim movie Kaiju used to transport into our world. Did anyone check to make sure that none came through? Is Tesla powerful enough to start building Jaegers for our...

OK, this is a cool video: Beyond the obvious acceleration benefits the plaid brings to the table, one thing I notice is how quiet it is inside the MS. So quiet in fact that you can hear when the other cars hit the accelerator. Almost like being able to read the opponent's hand signals in...

Andrej Karpathy in this video describes why and how Tesla is using vision to train FSD. In the talk, he also mentions how Tesla's latest supercomputer cluster (1 of 3 apparently) is one of the top 5 clusters in the world. You know, cause they built it while also designing DOJO which doesn't seem...

Was looking back over some old material and came across this in a video. Looking at the 3 symbols, I am assuming the 2 triangle symbols on the rectangle button are for opening/closing the tonneau. Then there is the triangle button. This looks like a button for the tailgate. The symbol on the...

Tomorrow will be my last day of an over 8k mile road trip. I've been driving from Seattle, across the Midwest, down to Dallas TX, and back through Denver CO. Plus some side trips. Anyway, one thing I've really noticed on this trip is that while driving through the Midwest at night, I get a ton...

Gas SUV Catches Fire After Crashing Into Tesla Model 3 In China Isn't It Ironic? Ever since the fake brake failure reports and protests in China, Tesla fan and owner Ray4Tesla has clearly been paying close attention. In fact, he started sharing videos of other cars getting into collisions...

Was just watching this Wham Bam Teslacam video and they had a clip of the CT from Elon's NY visit. I've cued up this part to something I noticed that has me curious. You can see through the rear window (under the tonneau) the backs of the front seats (in white) and the backs of the rear seats...
