Cybertruck is a “Watch”… It’s TSLA second, arguably third, new EV platform in a storied EV career. Never underestimate a gullwing. But its unafraid to embrace “new” and every platform is a new challenge. Unanswered questions have sifted down to ’wait and see’. Unwanted answers to single and...

No nonono… Rated R. Every truck character needs its consort lady who hates it. LOL She jumps him in their first meeting hopping into the backseat. Leaving nothing to viewer imagination its hot sex. After denouement small talk “was it as good for you as it was for me?” humblebrag our consort...

That pricing just took out the middle class (class 3—7 trucks). Cheaper to buy Semi and convert than waste money for a more expensive smaller truck.

That‘s one idea that would float a boat! Especially, like using it for flotation at the rear drive unit to keep its ass high and dry. Can Tesla recycle styrofoam peanuts to save pollution? It can’t afford taking a demerit on EPA grounds.

Good catch, really. Thanks. Stellantis aren’t hiding the fact that they are running an old horse on new EV drive units. To your point, it has camo’d whatever gizmo they have on the front fender. So it could be a test mule. and the camo bit is innovation Stellantis have for the RAM. Both JEEP...

Simpler better: [0029]/ …Because the exterior panel 502 is made from a durable material (e.g. steel, aluminum or other metals) there is no need for an interior anti-intrusion bar or other elements to protect the passengers from a side door strike found in conventional vehicle door assemblies...

@flowerlandfilms could make the movie based on that narrative arc alone! I restored my last vehicle to perfection only to find that the world doesn’t work as imagined. COVID, retirement abroad and a little border skirmish with a nuclear power really upped the ante for longterm holdouts. Life...

You and many others. Imagine the surprise as people who buy a snow plow or winch – they require a special mount to the Cybertruck. IDK about a 5th wheel towing hitch. Anything that traditionally uses the frame of a vehicle will not immediately “just work”. Hydraulic car lifts will damage a...

Ahem… the platform, factory, TX workforce, supply chain and DOJO. Elon has big balls changing everything at once, really. Any one of those is a heavy lift. GigaTX and IDRA are why Cybertruck never happened in 2022. Out of the blocks recruitment in Austin wasn’t anything like what was expected...

Legally acceptable document in court of law

Piano callacks are pure simplicity for any number of CT audible confirmation uses in the system. Fun…thx

The chart understates apparent demand which is natural+pent up. Death Valley looks like the Grand Canyon considering the price of gasoline. GM was reported to be financially constrained by cash on-hand by 2025, FORD by 2026 and those are just two of the USA Big Three. There be a kill floor at...

FORD Lightning EV sold out, even though essentially its old ladder frame pickup on new wishbones. Stellantis saw how FORD was making a quick EV and doubled down. Its now a legit accepted classe of pickup the “Tenderfoot pickup”.

Until an engineering walkthrough is performed ala Munroe and Associates. tl;dr Takeaway the exoskeleton. That leaves the Tesla structural batterypack(See:above). It is max. 8” depth x 69”+ width x 150” length with two alum. castings chemically bonded at its distal ends. How many sandbags...

Un-SWAG Using the terminology “frame” with respect to an exoskeleton can only describe the effect created by the A-pillar–B-pillar openings and B-pillar–C-pillar that form the door and window frames. Taken together the two openings span the distance from bottom rocker to Roof line to form an...

Twitter is being put in zombie-mode. It’ll run on autopilot hands-off after Tesla software pros are done. Elon will tandem build a new 36 Twit-engine Twitter. There may be times that its engines are tested but no one will know which Twitter is running. When Space-X communications pros are done -...

IDK there will be a big stockpile.… 4680’s are conditional. They will be manufactured in RT(realtime) with respect to Cybertruck production. 4680 shelf life must be maintained. Unlike cheese where it rotates position on a shelf, 4680’s demand BMS (battery management system) to preserve SoC...

They are obscured anyway by trailer. Who pulls over RV’s for lic plate violations? Not in all my years. I’ll live with license plate rubber chicken-hung off the tailgate, like a used car dealer plate. What case causes problems with the receiver located behind license plate? Never posed an...

FL comparing Vandenberg Falcon 9 sunset launches - both spectacular. Floridians have best seats for the biggest show on earth! SFO longer perspective view minimizes the tail. These shots are gone in less than a minute. Kinda like sushi…there’s only one bite. EM’s bokeh is Pro compared to raw...

Having worked metal by hand, torch and weld… this is 3mm s.s. == 11 gauge. 11 0.116" 2.9mm un-SWAG Tesla hardens then bends living with any deformational weakening in the break as small cost to pay for the stiffening of the panel. Admittedly, the bends are minor. The loss isn’t structurally...
