Very interesting discussion direction, are you suggesting something kinky?

Most of the Bitcoin mining happens closer to the power sources, using excess/wasted energy. Observe El Salvador as energy usage strategies evolve. In Texas much of the currently wasted natural gas is now being converted to electricity for miners. Many people heat their homes using miners. The...

Bitcoin is essentially the modern internet of money. Your argument against is similar to the 2005 Paul Krugman economic analysis of the internet in relation to a fax machine, when the internet was just getting started. Bitcoin is just getting started. Comparisons of, pyramids, bubbles, and...

Actually energy based currency is the ultimate in efficiency. Henry Ford was up on the concept back in 1921. BTW usage of the word 'pyramidal' = 'nonsense' and ignores the fundamental novel precepts of Austrian economics vs Keynesian economics. A little study of Austrian economics might...

FYI, Bitcoin represents; the largest, most powerful, globally decentralized computer network. A completely new animal in human history, trustless accountability.

The big question is production rate. The possibility of stamping out 500k CT's a year seems pretty real. The Shanghai Tesla factory kinda points in this direction. (already pushing 500k, model 3 and model y) Very likely Austin and Berlin production with magnify this notion.

Pinocchio is truly uniting the country..:poop:

Convenience for what function? Very likely you will be able to configure the central display anyway you desire. Have you ever had to dive into malfunctioning gauges of a regular car? A nightmare! On an old 240 Volvo the car is built around the heater blower motor, requiring a whole day just to...

IMHO the PHEV is overly complex engineering which doesn't last. For example you can't even give a used Toyota Prius away. PHEV are a lame excuse for not having a charging infrastructure. The F-150 EV is essentially a legacy ICE vehicle converted to EV. Hardly anything original. People have been...

The Rivian sure is impressive climbing Hell's Gate Utah. I'm kinda thinking the three motor CT might do it in FSD mode. Production CT's hitting the streets will rearrange some brains and cause the legacy automakers nightmares.

Maybe Ford will survive, but the Ford current 160 billion debt compared to Tesla 10 billion debt, isn't such a great picture. Especially as Tesla manufacturing is poised to launch into a new stratosphere of efficiency. While Ford is still in old school ICE F-150 dependency. Hopefully Ford and...

I hope to sneak one of my pre-orders into Thailand through Malaysia as a tourist traveler vehicle. I'd love to have it RHD. Maybe by then the sadly super corrupt Thai customs will allow China made EV's into the country duty free. But I ain't gonna bet on on it.

I vote 75-100%. The CT will very likely turn out better than expected. Much hinges on the performance of the new battery technology. If Tesla gets it right and actual performance exceeds the promises, demand for this revolutionary truck will be off the chart. Then there is the FSD component...

That would be a fantastic option, and a great name. Plus the 'form follows function' of Tesla would make it better than an Airstream antique which are a PITA to fix and maintain.

Yea me too, but haven't got a trailer yet. I'm hoping someone like Airstream will start building a solar roofed trailer with a big battery engineered to work with the CT.

The https://www.autoblog.com/2021/09/29/rivian-r1t-pickup-video-hells-gate-moab-utah/?ncid=txtlnkusaolp00000618 going up Hells Gate, Utah is very impressive.. Especially impressive for a Bezos clown truck.

Some say these rigs will be million mile kit. Many variables but many reused wrecked Tesla battery and motors in converted EVs. Maintenance will be tyre changes, brakes, and a vac cleaner. Also depends on how you drive, with regen braking the brakes could last forever. No paint maintenance. Some...

Likely many who are CT order holders are also BTC hodlers. When BTC hits 100-200k by delivery time. Price in USD won't matter much. I'll be just looking a nifty ways to accessorize the truck.

My understanding is the pack will be a structural part of the truck. Probably worth it's own thread to study the structural design features of the CT.

Lots of orders for the clown truck. Watched the Colorado debut on utube, today. Reviewers all masked like clowns, admiring the silly luggage doors for their roller bags. (couldn't watch it all, too silly)
