Similar happened to a friend, we were driving up a canyon and through the areas that still had water in them. I decided to go around one because it just didn't look quite right it was a deeper blue than the others. We got next to it and about when I said that looks deep my friend entered it...

So what would it do if my spouse is already there, or even driving? Automatic over-ride?

They aren't the only time a Tesla might come across one of those is if its visiting a mine and is actually allowed in the mine area. From my understanding most newer ones are diesel electric like a locomotive though I have heard of one being full electric with the mine up higher than the drop...

I have commented before about the solar tax credit, and now the EV tax credit. It doesn't actually help the people who could use the help. My wife and I are probably among the lowest income people on this forum, but we didn't need the help when we could finally afford solar, and when we...

No.

Unless I am misreading something that is a GM pattent.

!00% agree. At my current job I have tested bullet proof and blast resistant glass. Even though the glass broke we were impressed that it held the ball outside. But it is not bullet proof by any means. The Presidential limo has multiple layers of I have no idea what its made out of...

I voted no on the midgate because I doubt I will use it much if ever. It's not something I would seek out. Yes I have slept in my trucks, both in the cab and in the bed. I have even slept under it, my wife teases me about it because I was working on it and fell asleep.

The article reads more like the author dislikes Tesla, and is going to spin anything Tesla does into something bad. https://www.businessinsider.com/author/nora-naughton Yep.

I have a 400 mile version on pre-order, our next car will likely be either the Cybertruck, or the Aptera depending on what happens job wise in the next year.

Yes its a bit click baity. https://www.motortrend.com/features/truth-about-electric-cars-ad-why-you-are-being-lied-to/ Personally I have always used 5 years as the break even point, guess the grid has gotten cleaner.

I was reading some articles about Aluminum Ion which is suggesting 2.5x volumetric energy density and 2x per weight density so in somewhere in the 10-25 year range it might be practical.;)

On top of all of the changes in the world in the last 3 years we aren't even certain of the exact specs or options yet

A rough calculation based on how many miles they were planning on driving, expected size of the Cybertruck's battery and the expectation that most of the charging will be done at night.

Even half charge in the right area is going to require at least 20kw in solar panels, as well as at least 75kwh in batteries to pre-store the power while you are at work. Most likely you will need 25+kw and 110-120kwh of storage to power your house and a daily 250 miles on a Cybertruck. But...

When I was visiting some of my wife's family in Kansas they asked about battery powered tractors during harvest. They told me that during harvest they run the tractors nearly 24 hours a day for a week only stopping to change drivers and fuel up. I told them that the tractors would probably...

My Jeep is has very basic coverage, so in most cases not insured. My wife's truck has full coverage so as long as it isn't something they could call gross negligence its covered. We haven't had to make any claims and any small dents or dings don't get repaired. Even many parts we break we fix...

Nissan is largely in the hole because of the last CEO who decided it was a good business strategy to cut corners to lower the price of the cars while relying on the reputation for quality to continue to sell cars. Long story short quality suffered and people went to other brands. We...

I am going from memory from some stuff I read years ago. What gets affected depends on if it is a high altitude or low/ground level detonation. A high altitude detonation interacts with the ionosphere and magnetic field. This generates more long wave EM which wont affect cars, or any of the...

There is still a large group that maintains and modifies modern cars. Ugly has an engine and transmission out of a 2003 so relatively modern. I like to brag that my wife knows more about cars than most men because its true.
