Not reading, from people in the industry. They have worry that stuff happens while it’s piling up. Piling up in places it was never meant to be. Gen’l public don’t get exposed to the belly of the beast. I have more but this suffices to put a fine point on every nuclear lover’s dream. Nuclear...

Funny and a good story. First production EV to Catalina Island wins! That’s a four hour sail on a good day, so more than adequate test for Bragging Rights.

Interesting…”movable storage”. The orig. concept was “movable deficit” energy that would more closely approximate the energy demand alluded in a predictive foresight measure gained on total amount of base load EV’s will draw against the grid due to commuting. Measured as a Whr/mi X vehicle...

Well stated. Good end goal metrics. Synchronization is a beast…in L.A.

Driving tractor-trailer with clutch and only a handful of fwd gears taught the value of constant .v. stop&go. The straggle strategy to keep rolling rather than braking a loaded t-t unit emerges the smooth flow over in the far right lane(US) that often passes the Fastlane(far left) demonstrating...

You aren’t wrong. BUT neither is @Crissa. This puddle stomp in a rainstorm(re:Ian) is going-on as a nuclear Safety Officer in Miami is sitting in a nuclear plant full of containerized nuclear waste. Waste storage for which it was never designed, intended and for which there exists no option to...

LOL “No more monkeys jumping on the bed” driving cars echoes “all human input is error”. Good overview that throws traffic memory, interrupts(lane changers,roosters, and phantom brakers), and a myth into the convoy problem. I’m calling myth the presenter’s blind assertion that the...

I was enraptured at the thought of a car working the dregs of slow, agonizing commuter stop and go driving. Since speed and aero are non sequiturs there’s an opportunity to down-technify what isn’t needed. Vision systems can comfortably function and range the vehicle ahead queueing off signal...

My view of Cybertruck is that it is a production abstracted in three layers(components). The three are all independent of each other. All three can have their own separate time line(s). The three lines have differing assy times but equal rates so that components never wait on one of the others...

Whomever stated this has never worked with metal, dust, tack rag and paint not to mention humidity, temperature and pressure. Its an exaggerated oversimplification to reduce a $500,000,000 paint booth to 5 sentences that amount to zero-sum total.

This was 50% Limiting Factor 50% Sales pitch overcoming objections to the vehicle, design and alluded to engineering without Jordan Giesige‘s depth of Tesla specificity. New information it wasn’t even though the formatting was. I’ll watch again to see how his engineering expertise adds what the...

GigaAustin have ship, assembly, inspection, calibration, test, validation and process scaling for the injection side of the mfg to apply to the larger IDRA9000 mold in situ. Min three months ~6-8mo if the alloy doesn’t scale as expected in the larger mold. Benchmade .v. IDRA made will differ...

Semi closely approximates Cyber production three component assembly process(rolling chassis, cab, interior). With Semi batterypack builds offsite, I could see a GAustin ramp on Semi ahead of 4680 production in Austin. Interestingly, Semi assembly in tents isn’t unthinkable with sealed...

Still no Semi tri-motor specs or powertrain schematics how the Semi uses all its energy. Semi with Biden IRA $45k USD credit, it seems destined to GigaAustin. GigaNV produced 5 Semi’s per wk, IIRC. I’m real curious about a Shorty McSemi which looks like a Semi scaled down without the roof...

The idea of 80-90% charge in ~10min is going to erode max batt. Chargedot or whatever the name get 80% in minutes the 500 mi battery is niche for offroaders outback and Seafaring Tesla pontoon boats.

The quad was an invention in response to regulatory pushback on the counter-intuitive Three wheeler. Counter because it req’d riders lean to outside to execute inside maneuvers. The quad operates exactly like a motorcycle just more stable. Quads are workhorses afield, farm and recreationally...

Your approach is absolutely TeslaVISION-esque right scheme. After 3hr grueling traffic into the city, it’s apparent that there exists two systems of convoy under discussion. Both are necessary. One aero-eco and Semi-trailer convoy centric above 45mph. @HaulingAss has scoped this version pretty...

Lived outside the city and worked in NYC. There is nothing normal about a NYC dealership compared to just upstate. So you have that caveat. Our Bronco serviced while upstate was typical of midwest dealerships though the camaraderie definitely skewed local to Westchester. it sounds like you...

This panel buckle is damning evidence against Rivian design. The fact there appears no contact abrasion or point of impact is telling. It teaches that the design of the stamped metal panel is weak at a crucial point(i.e. corner). We know that to be the case because there was no surrounding...
