Have you seen the documentary American Factory? It's about the difference between American and Asian workers (due to current culture, not due to inherent ability). If they want to build the plant in 10 months they better build it somewhere besides Texas. It's fixing to get pretty hot here...

I think between Austin and San Antonio makes more sense. But we agree on the region. New Braunfels, Geronimo, Seguin, San Marcos areas--could draw from SA and ATX.

Time flies. Isn’t over 12% of the ramp-up time already elapsed? And they are shopping sites and thinking logistics? How long does it take to find a site, close, develop the site, design a building, get approval for the building, build the building, design the production, design the truck...

I think the Rivian is far better looking. It looks like the soon-to-come-out Bronco. In that video I learned that 40+20=60. Civilization is doomed.

Pointless, fuzzy math. Apparently assumes a common cause (or condition) couldn't/wouldn't cause multiple motor failures (despite that all three motors are rolling around in the same truck). (When the bearing on one side of my F250 went out I was pretty sure the other side exposed to mostly the...

OP asked generally about HPWC and after digesting that word salad I feel like I need two 100 amp circuits, two HPWCs, and a substation in my garage. I wonder whether it depends on the daily commute expected whether high capacity charging is needed. Does anybody really have multiple 100 amp...

And what is wrong with giving away my home address? I think if our home addresses were on here there would be fewer keyboard warriors: I'll start with mine: 6341 Georgetown Pike, Geronimo TX 71234

Texas residents can still easily buy a car from Tesla, but the purchase is handled as an out-of-state transaction and must be completed before the vehicle ships to Texas. ... Texas considered legislation in 2015 to allow Tesla to operate in the state but legislation was not passed. Tesla US...

The point is almost moot except at the time Musk negotiates Giga Geronimo, and has the most leverage, he needs to lobby for more favorable treatment in Texas For Tesla. So he can service and sell at the Gigafactory also. Or whatever would be beneficial, Like allow Tesla to do what every...

Can we even buy them in Texas right now? I don't understand the dealer laws in Texas or how to take delivery. Texas should roll out the red carpet though. Musk already has a launch site in Brownsville area.

It should be in Geronimo, Texas. (Near New Braunfels, TX, between San Antonio and Austin). Close to I35, rails, I130, and heavy talent in Austin and surrounding areas. No unions. Lots of blue collar workers and professionals. Cheap, flat land.

My dually towed better (E350 with 7.3 towed better than F250 with 7.3 or 6.0 and other F250s I’ve had). It’s a stable feel—rock solid. But not enough to warrant me having another dually. I even see big rigs with one wide tire instead of a dually sometimes. Maybe they can widen the stance...

Objection--assumes facts that are not in evidence. I read more than enough of the posts on here. 5 times a day. Just because people say replaceable batteries isn't practical doesn't mean I can't drone on about it with slightly evolved ideas. People said FedEx wouldn't work.

Maybe a way to replace batteries is from under the truck. Especially if the skateboard isn't really structural. Everything could happen underground. Drop a portion of the battery(ies). Raise replacements. It could be like an automated car wash where you drive over a track. That would help...

I agree and recognize the downsides to replaceable batteries. However on my cellphone right now I have a Mophie battery pack so I can last all day with my iPhone 7 Plus. I still think the 3M will need to have an option for frunk or bed batteries. Or something extra for those that want...

I don't necessarily disagree. I picture battery swaps for some trucks. For some batteries in some trucks. Yesterday I was thinking of refueling trucks that deploy while a truck is moving. Like refueling planes. If these things auto-drive it wouldn't be that hard. Refueling planes exist...

There could be a pool of batteries fully charged that people slide into their trucks at filling stations. And they leave their empty ones behind. It's a lot of moving parts but Amazon is taking returns in Kohl's right now (at a Kiosk). Crazy times are a changin.

I have a 2002 F250 7.3 with 260,000. I need it to last until 300,000 or so and then bye-bye. I also have 5 motorcycles two GX470s and a Honda Element (a boat and 4 trailers). I want to get down to just the CyberTruck (and two trailers) and I'm currently liquidating but it's hard. I'm gonna...

For the truck there need to be replaceable battery packs maybe for those that tow? Subscription service. I don't see another way.

My idea (proposed)was cameras that extend a little from the light bar when necessary. Many downsides to that but some upsides. I want to see the load from that angle without wireless and without mounting to a trailer. As far as comparing my suggestion to an ICE driver saying there is no...
