This “dealers are bad“ perspective is owed a little microcosm of detail. At times inventory exceeds demand and the mfgr has to sell what it has produced. Ford dealers buy from the mfgr and make money selling cars to you. Typically a car you’ve bought or ordered. BUT when the mfgr has...

FORD engineered obsolescence I thought the presenter put up-front owned it and the Dealer steered him right getting him into a new FORD. Its attractive. It’s like getting the same girlfriend/boyfriend you know only a newer, fresher model and this Ford hasn’t been with anyone else, either. ? .

BOTH Mass. Primarily delta V. Because a tractor trailer has more braking ability than pickup+trailer, braking isn’t the critical concern. Varying mass to power ratios in-Convoy affect acceleration specifically on change of grade. As power units within convoy seek their power balance to grade...

Primarily, the hazard that a Convoy >6 Semi trailers in length creates is in the case of faster, overtaking vehicles. The extended length train of vehicles in-Convoy moving as a block of traffic forces faster traffic to a single-lane. The hazard, different from a coned and marker safety lane, is...

Is Elon’s voice and quote ”fair use”? Elon may not but Tesla may better qualify for a takedown notice.

Wind shadow varies 4:1 thus 12’ ht. Semi has an aerodynamic shadow that extends 48’ behind it. A vehicle within that 48’ draft zone will benefit. Steady state speed max’s efficiency Gaps kill efficiency Mixed vehicles impair velocity synchronization Convoys greater than six semi lengths...

This scenario suggests man-in-the-middle attack able to wrest control and inflict violence with a Tesla. Teslas have two computers and one OTA port of entry doubling a hackers level of work. The security scheme may be redundant meaning that capturing one computer is not success and hacking...

An answer why it will not is in order. EE SME needs a “deep dive” with Jordon Giesige “The Limiting Factor“ covering Tesla batterypack, charging and floating abilities. Fault Tolerance is a thing that makes electricity, water and humans safe. Having integrated Fault Tolerant circuit panel into...

ANYONE see followup investigation for the FATAL Rest Area lane departure a Tesla took right into the rear end of a parked Semi - completely into the parking lot? Its crazy…as in inconceivably probable, though now its a possible.

Eyes of PUREvision…

The MVP for Optimus is Elon Musk. Robotics is fusion dream. FSD is a step toward humanity(PUREvision). ML 100X humanity consciousness with DOJO scalability. Optimus is EM’s roadmap into hacking self-consciousness. Self same way FSD in Teslas hack situational awareness. ML builds self-driving...

“Probably” the SteveJobs ”write once run everywhere” NeXT meme provides FSD cross platform. Teslas everywhere will run FSD someday. Tesla can Rev different hardwares on its platforms individually. The hdwe self-selects the appropriate stack(s). Hardware4 enables a FSD “single stack”. Engineers...

Robotaxi Tesla eliminates the robot altogethe, perhaps leaving a sorta “Intel inside” vibe.

Watch. They’ll approve use in combination not alone. LOL

ONLY vehicle with neg. buoyancy is the OG VW Bug. Even then it was temporary i.e.20min. afloat time. I’ve witnessed a Cadillac run over an owner who stopped to look at Jenny Lake. Stepping in front of his car - it rolled over him and promptly sank. Cadillac is equivalent to Cybetrtruck. He...

“ Gurgle, gurgle , swoosh… crickets”.

Utilities are MEGA protective of the franchise(err monopoly) investment. I only have experience with SDG&E who burden solar generation with grid O.H. cost, connection fee and failed to discount cost of electricity charging one rate for use- paying still a lower rate for solar non-spin...

Stated another way reception is a function of TX signal strength. Which is why all cellphones receive VOX,TXT,Data and SMS media transmitted via a carrier terrestrial transmission tower. All cellphones receive the identical signal strength. No new cellphone will increase carrier signal to get...
