This was an interesting take on the F-150 Lightning. On the actual show, this segment was immediately followed by an interview with Linda Zhang who is the Chief Engineer of the F-150 Lightning. I don't see the interview on YouTube but here is the intro: It's an interesting take. Makes me...

Ok, I am seeing a lot more ads for various EVs now. Mostly from Lucid but others also. With all the dollars being spent on advertising, how many EVs will not be created due to lack of funds? I get that there may need to be some marketing of EVs but if you build interest in a vehicle that is not...

“I’m actually making history tonight as the first person with aspergers to host SNL. Or at least the first to admit it. So I won’t make a lot of eye contact with the cast tonight. But don’t worry, I’m pretty good at running human in emulation mode.”

So, I am still hearing various stories/analyses of the Texas crash a little while ago. One of the things that keep coming up is how the data log on the SD card was destroyed. It seems like it might be wise for Tesla to keep these SD cards in a "black box" similar to how airlines do it. If the...

So I stopped by the local Tesla showroom today and saw one of the Radio Flyer Tesla Model S cars. It was pretty cute. But when I asked about a CT version from Radio Flyer they said there wasn't one. Really wish there was though. I could put my little girl in it and let her drive it around. That...

We’ve already had a conversation about truck nutz. No need to rehash that. I’m guessing that shiny little heart is in place of a static discharge line. It was just a little to the side of the muffler. But that had me wondering if EVs need more or less support for static discharge. Clearly...

So I just saw this new vehicle (yeah, not a real vehicle). If this thing actually gets produced I'll be surprised. But one thing I noticed on the site was this: =================================== Structural Pressure Vessels One of the first challenges we faced in designing the Apricale™...

So I've been thinking about what kind of tires would work best on a CT. Especially given the myriad situations that I could see myself and my trusty CT3 getting into. Most of the time I'd like to have efficient tires that provide a smooth ride on the highway. But then when I get to a cool...

When Do We Start Seeing Some Weird EV Designs? Hey, do you remember ever hearing something about how new EV architectures would allow car designers to rethink traditional form factors and create cars packaged for maximum comfort/utility/looks? “Human-centered” designs that put people, not...

So... There was a big promotion about Lordstown signing up for the San Filipe 250 with their Endurance EV pickup. I was hoping they would do well. Turns out my hope was misplaced. Of course Lordstown had a different take: Here is an INSIDEEVs article about it. The article was far less...

So, Jalopnik has an article about finding an International MXT for sale. Based on the specs of that truck I find it an interesting comparison for the CT3. The International MXT features: Engine: International(R) 6.0L V8 Diesel Seating: Driver and Passenger Premium Leather Front Seats...

A while back there was a thread about a vehicle called EZRaider. I just saw on Now You Know a similar vehicle called LyteHorse. They describe LyteHorse as what you would get if Tesla and Mad Max had a baby.

Found this video interesting. They talk about the potential of Tesla becoming the most valuable company in the world during 2021. Basically, they state that there are 4 main catalysts for this but the projection would be that Tesla stock would need to 4x before the end of this year for that to...

Looking through some of the posted pictures of the CyberTruck from yesterday's appearance at GigaTexas, I found one of the bed. Looking at this picture it is pretty clear that the dark strips on the bottom of the bed are raised a bit from the SS. I'm not seeing those as filled T-slots. With all...

So I recently took a 3500-mile road trip. I was driving my Toyota Sienna on mostly interstate driving over mountain passes, through agricultural and ranch land, round many corners, fighting traffic in long straights. All the while dreaming of doing the road trip in my CT3 when it arrives. And...

Was driving through Oregon today and passed up a pickup with a camper that looked very different from others I’ve seen. Turned out to be a Kimbo. Wouldn’t fit in a CT as is but if reconfigured it might work well.

Now with super cool graphics.

So yesterday was another day of driving over a mountain pass. This time I was stuck behind some slow vehicles for a while and ended up passing a bunch of them. Got me thinking though. Has anyone seen FSD videos of it crossing into the oncoming lane to pass a slow vehicle? Most of the road I...

Does anyone know if Texas has 30 day license plates? I’m originally from Nebraska and they have a 30 day plate you can get for moving a vehicle that is not currently licensed. I used it once when I had a car after college that I had put in storage in my grandparents shed for a couple years. The...
