I think you're underestimating the power you'll need. I have a 14kwh battery pack, and it will run one AC for about 8 hours. If it's hot outside, one AC won't cut it, I have to run them both. To do that, I'd need full sunlight, and 3000 watts of solar just to break even.

Dang it. I'm gonna be in Austin the week after. I'm gonna have to give Elon a call and see if he'll postpone it a week. :)

The "beefyness" of the casting does not really dictate the size of the machine. It's really more about the surface area of the parting line on the mold. The larger the surface area, the more hydraulic forces are trying to open the mold during injection. So, assuming the parting line of the mold...

If I cancel my order, it will be so I can by the Semi. Not that it would help you any. I didn't order mine until June of this year.

That would be soooo handy for me. I've got a massive trailer, and I frequent old campgrounds that just weren't made for a trailer this size. If I could spin the truck in its own axis, it would be much easier to get into tight spots. I'm worried that with a 4000 lb tongue weight, a tank turn on...

Now, if we can get them to beef up the suspension so I can tow 18k lbs, and the battery so I can get 250 miles of range while doing so, and keep it under $100k, I might not cancel my order. I know, there's a lot of "ifs" in there, but a guy can dream. :)

I'm thinking they can't make enough batteries to build the truck yet, so why not mess with the design until they can. The new design doesn't actually delay deliveries at this point because of the battery shortage. It keeps people talking and Tesla at the front of people's minds with very little...

The longer I wait, the more I think the CT won't work for me. If the budget allows, I'm gonna trade the CT for a Tesla Semi and a model 2.

The stamping press to make CT body panels will also be a monster machine.

I don't know much about Trophy Trucks, but I do a fair bit of rock crawling. The CT just wouldn't do very well at the real nasty stuff. It doesn't have enough suspension travel, no roll cage, poor visibility, the wheelbase is too long, tires are too small, batteries are susceptible to...

A millionaire is a person whose net worth (assets minus liabilities) is over one million. It sounds like you qualify to me. Congratulations. You are now one of those selfish rich people that hate the poor, never do anything for others, and don't pay your fair share of taxes. :) Kiyosaki would...

Most people finance their vehicles, and the average cost is over $500 a month. You can fix a lot of problems with $500 a month if you don't have a car payment, or any other payments. Most people think it's easy to pay cash after you become a millionaire, when in actuality, paying cash and good...

We follow the Dave Ramsey plan. Things that go down in value should equal less than 50% of your annual income, and should be paid for in cash. If you're gonna buy brand new, you should be a millionaire.

Nope, that one's not mine. Just an example I found. Here's mine.

Call it whatever you want. I live in my camper full time. I can't afford to stay in a hotel 365 days a year, and even if I could, it would SUCK. I like having all of my stuff with me when I travel, and I travel constantly. If I could talk the wife into a smaller camper, maybe I could make the...

Heavy duty trucks are used quite often to pull 5th wheels. You don't need a special licence or insurance if you set them up as an RV. I don't remember all the particulars, but you have to have a place to sleep, a bathroom, a sink, and 2 other things that cause it to stop being a semi, and start...

I think I placed my reservation about 3 months before you. My page shows tri motor and full self driving on it.

I've already got a good size battery bank on my 5th wheel. It's paired to duel 3000 watt hybrid inverters. I can program one of the ports on the inverters to dump extra capacity when the batteries reach a certain level of charge. This will be how I charge my Semi with extra solar, assuming they...

LOL, I wish I could buy a tank of fuel for $100. I'm getting about 10 mpg pulling my trailer. :(

I'll not be selling my bitcoin, EVER. Selling is a taxable event. I might take a loan against it. Loans are not taxable. Either way, I don't think a CT is gonna handle my trailer, and I'm not sure I can afford the semi. :( On the bright side, all you guys that are in line behind me will...
