Differential drive unit is humungous sized gears. It’s going to pull 14000# trailer without so much as a grunt. Obviously, we haven’t seen those bearing iunder that much load but I like the nod to tried and proven. Look at the size of that thing! They’ll never put that on the album cover.LOL...

I don’t care. RWS isn’t necessity. Had 1972 Chev Crewcab dually. What a stretch! It wasn’t difficult to avoid cutting curbs and Elon cones. Importantly, AT-style tires treat curbs like rock and nicely lift the vehicle over. AT sidewalls are so compliant its actually NBD to the tire or the...

Minimum…affixed to trailer. Otherwise two vehicles are recharging. And the solar s.f. would dual-use topping up CT, if needed. Backcountry, surfing, desert, roadside pulloffs and hunting it’d be the BeesKnees setup.

In San Diego Bay such a design would produce clean hydro-electricity 24/7/365 on flood tide and ebb tide. In San Diego, the bay is closed with only one opening that serves as primary inlet/outlet. There’s a strong enough flow that the ecosystem gets enough oxygen with only the one but the...

Keep the Jeep! Its a great tow, easy combo and fun. Swap to CT when they tow behind.

These weight estimates are comped from ICE truck in my photo at 2658kg so I think they are conservative for Cybertruck. CT1 ~2600kg using sgl rear drive unit. CT2 ~2700kg adding sgl front drive unit & CT3 ~2750kg adding a third motor to the rear drive unit. SO with an advertised 1750lbs cargo...

One article of two published today quote sources, in multiple, that the 4680 battery ramp isn’t ready for production, yet. Tesla have achieved ½ the expected savings it promised just by physically switching to the new, larger sized form factor. The problem is the other ½. Scaling to production...

Second that suggestion. Tesla should build Cybertrucks. Further motion, Elon should auction on BAT Cybertruck serial number #00001 to highest bidder. Bring a trailer. You’ll haul your CT home from Austin TX. Every penny after the MSRP should be directly donated. Charitable candidate...

FSD was priced for sale at the launch party. I remember it “packaged” with the Cybertruck specially priced that night. Tesla proffered a deal that night for all buying a Cybertruck they can include FSD specially priced at the launch party for $7000.00USD. But Tesla prices will go after the...

An interesting conjecture put forward should Tesla not copy other OEM’s instead follow its own product reveal at launch for multiple variants of the Cybertruck versus only building a single high priced version that is the most expensive to produce. Where’s this data? I’m unconvinced your point...

TeslaVISION is fundamentally aligned with human infallibility. Tesla are to be commended for a vision-only approach to safety. With a blended human and AI driver environment its a good thing that neither’s skill surpasses the other. Parity is a “good” even if it may not be equal. Assured safety...

ElonMusk hews first principles over customary standard automaker practice. SteveJobs at Apple hated automotive “features” for tech, refused the machine mentality and marketed ideas over features. Ideas like HD over floppy, appliance over computer, Think different over Ghz. WRT battery: I saw...

That is the crux! Without a high volume 4th everyman vehicle people can afford, Rivian’s burn rate sunsets the maque in a couple years. What its produced cannot save Rivian - at any price. But its DNA can. Rivian have what people want hardcodded in its DNA. It needs put that into a 4th...

True. Tesla, Elon Musk and FSD have interjected ”safety” into driving. Critically, FSD “promise” is to make every body safer and everyone safe from their own driving foibles, mistakes, accidents or error. The other shoe drop, is that not everyone can afford Tesla, FSD and therefor the “promise”...

NO. Organic means that it is grown in chemical, pesticide, and herbicide free soil the same whether food or cotton. So this technology requires organic soils used in food production. Anytime a world changing technology requires farm acreage used to produce food to more profitably produce...

Nobody knows WTF after the launch party was over and website removed all the launch reveal details. Quad Cybertruck is a new addition. It is in fact an entirely new propulsion scheme, drivetrain and electronic control set that rewrites the software in CT1, 2, and 3. Adding the hurdles NHTSA...

CA grid problems existed before EV’s. It has two interconnects beyond CA that it purchases sustainable power. The minor interconnect in the Mojave helps San Diego only. Any EE feel free to step-up here with the engineering to get CA out of it self-inflicted grid brownouts. Its nuclear reactors...
