    CT vulnerabilities to persistent climate extremes

    Many decades ago a Newspaper asked a question to car owners How long have you owned your car and what have you done to it. The winner over Mercedes, BMW and few other cars was a Toyota Celica....well over 500K miles well documented by her dealership. At the time she set aside $200 dallor a...

    CT vulnerabilities to persistent climate extremes

    I have owned a 1994 Discovery 1 for 23 years, still have and still drive it. I never park in a garage, rarely wash but I do take care of it, a few years ago I had the seats and headliner completely redone. I have done so much work on the engine like when I found out the head gasket material used...

    Doug DeMuro is Wrong about the Hummer EV and the Cybertruck (Video)

    I can't remember the "Company" who made a claim they have a solid state battery developed and would see production in 2025, I personal thought it was unfounded but ,I have seen magic acts that were seemingly authentic.

    What's your power mix?

    When I was still living in San Jose, I installed a 2.8kw solar system, it was in the days when a solar panel of 180w was considered pretty good. It cost me around 22K bucks to do it myself. I filed all the needed papers to become a generation plant with PGE (22 pages) plus permits with city and...

    Doug DeMuro is Wrong about the Hummer EV and the Cybertruck (Video)

    I wonder if Tesla is looking into solid state batteries, I know he probably does not need another item on his to do list.

    Who would like voice activated control.

    Just controls please I really don't need a voice to speak to about my desired action. A button or knob is just plain faster for me, no misunderstandings or mistaken action. The voice thing is cute, If I speak I would like a human to be listening and responding in a meaningful way.

    Unintentional offroading

    If a semi can be rolled so can Cybertruck, just right conditions and I am not talking about driving fast either. In my neighborhood I seen a truck flipped on it side doing 25 mph or less, left wheel caught the snow berm which was around 12 inches deep and in a blink of an eye truck was on its...

    Tesla packaged trailer upgrade kit

    W Pulling a trailer and losing travel distance is a problem all vehicles face no matter the fuel used. Consumer trucks can put in skip tanks in the truck that adds fuel capacity from 30 Gallons to 100 Gallons. I like adding range to CT but the cost and added weight to the trailer plus...

    What percentage of pre-orders will actually buy?

    I think the fall out is less then 20% for to many reason I won't be able to guess, but I know Tesla can't build enough Cybertrucks to satisfy the demand. I also have a thought the folks who cancel their order will get back in line when CT rolls out, it will rekindle the excitement they first had...

    Cybertruck production gets closer as Gigafactory Texas shifts to 24/7 construction

    I am remaining calm, cool and trying not to get excited but damit, it's getting really hard. Breaking the piggy bank and started counting my coins.

    Is the additional range from the single motor to the dual worth $10k?

    Did anything here make sense to you? For a comparison the Nissan 2020 Leaf has a 226 claimed mileage range at the cost of 31,600 USD.

    Is the additional range from the single motor to the dual worth $10k?

    You have mentioned that the single motor exceeds your needs. 2000 miles would be rare for you, not sure if these rare trips are for family or vacation but if you are pressed for time in your travels this may have bearing on your choice. Will a single motor serve you in most of your needs is a...

    Cyber Camper concept for Cybertruck

    Most of the pop-up truck campers I have seen have a partial size door, so you would need to duck to get inside the camper. I really don't want to duck to pass through the doorway. When I was in the market for a truck camper I showed my wife some models with a half door and she said no way was...

    Tailgate port use?

    Maybe a release mechanism for the ramp? If that is a step I know I would use it unless I wanted to get out of some honey do's.

    Window frames or lack there of...

    I never experienced that but that's new one for me...my 1966 would always start, I thought the SU carbs were very simple. My electrical system was designed by the prince of darkness, Lucas. Many times during a night drive the lights would go off, I would toggle the switch which did not help and...

    SPECIAL EDITION QUAD-MOTOR Cybertruck rumor

    I would think this would be the next level of development for 3/4 or 1 ton truck CT if Elon wants to continue to fill in the Heavy Duty line of consumer trucks. A four motor truck would have serious power to do work or tow. I am interested in a bigger truck from Tesla but so far I have not heard...

    Doug DeMuro is Wrong about the Hummer EV and the Cybertruck (Video)

    I respect the reviewing guys or gals that are true truck folks, sometimes if you don't know what kind of tree you are looking at, wait for it to bear fruit. So you might have to listen to a few duds before you find someone with real experiences and wisdom. For me no matter how great a truck is...

    Cybertruck in parking spots - A measured example

    In our little town the chain grocery store has a fair sized parking lot with unrealistic parking lines painted for a car. Problem is we are a truck town, everyone has their mirrors extended for the trailer that is not behind them including me. Quite a few of us have large guards in front of the...

    Window frames or lack there of...

    I had a few cars with no window frames, Triumph spitfire I really liked that car. You would think it would leak water around the windows during a hard rain but it didn't. I never did learn to stay away from english cars, I still own one but not a sports car getting out of one is like getting off...

    What is your make-or-break Cybertruck feature?

    I am looking for simple, tough and reliable like a anvil. Stainless construction was the main attraction and Tesla's prowess in winter conditions sold me. No interest in a stylized vehicle just plain solid abilities.
