Powerheads are the next gearheads. Transportation is replete with mods, repowers, swaps and retromods, Cybertruck et.al. to be no different. As much money is to be made at the “pack level” as at the “vehicle”. While Cybertruck is engineered for life beyond 1M miles, its battery is not...

Two elements or first principles, if you are EM. Free - as in freedom to stand on any street corner to shout your word to whoever will stop to listen Free - as in free beer, cost of access, to air your speech in the first place and cost for all to hear(read read) One addresses colloquial...

Elsewhere on this website are SWAG claims that the newer prototypes bed measurements are 5’ - 10”. Those are prototypes. They had extended roof and mods pointing to mid-gate or solar tonneau accommodations. I was disappointed CT had gone Sports truck bed length.

A Raptor knockoff in EV platform solves its EOL dilemma for the ICE jumper and transitions the line over to EV production which it needs for gov’t credits. Kills three birds with one design brief if it can sway CT RN holders that a RaptorEV can provide more of what they really want. Technology...

Twitter should work exactly as you want it, need it and like to have it make your life a little tweeter(sp)

This announced follow-up pickup chambered behind the F-150 Lightning just locked and loaded is all FORD. FORD needs to pump its faithful, toot its EV and rev its motors to hold onto a 45yr+ legacy sales lead. Lightning was proof that it understood and knew exactly what FORD pickup buyers...

In all appearances, Twitter adds value which that $44B now places USD decimal pt. But EM technically is collateraizing with his Tesla stock holding the financial package to buy Twitter. Twitter package of financing holds several un-named participants of which EM leads. Twitter may turnout like...

@Newton, you are witness to a Twitter emergence as neither Cathedral nor Bazaar but commons. A commons eclipsing media, politics and meaning as “kind” of platform but space that is disintermediated by design for human voiced narrative, as in mano mano (face-to-face). Persons able to voice bots...

This is EM‘s thrust behind every challenge that he approaches. Twitter will disintermediate to lower cost, increase access and fundamentally disrupt a bunch of industry not just online. More ways other than Twitter will exist but none cheaper.

Tut-Tuts for the win!

CANADA has a few lakes. lol When the bottom goes out of the dirt roads back into those fishing holes in the spring, you can’t have too much tire. Ruts deepen, tires drop into these ruts like crude tracks they are. You don’t get out of them until dry terra firma is reached. Cybertruck 35’s...

Cockamamie stories about battery size - smaller the better - are “Hybrid” media embeds promoting PC fear and galvanizing loyalty to the OEM’s transition narrative mixing a little battery and a lotta gas. It’s an easy sell. Hybrids rack up mileage. But for every Hybrid sold it extends petroleum...

WHAT IF it’s true? Cybertruck Configurations = Dual, Quad, and PLAID NO Single for Cybertruck? TRUE maybe… It doesn’t have to mean a single motor pickup is dead, cuz’ Wolverine Cybertruck! All OG Single Cybertruck RNowners will be able to get a WolverineCT. Many will prefer. Single motor is...

As prototypes go, you’re onto something. Albeit, structural Exoskeleton relies on the continuity and integrity of that top chord. Shown is what looks like a relief in the top skin, arguably hand hold. I believe that to be correct and intentional in prototype, sussing out function over form...

Proof Teslas’ charging are neither ubiquitous, or commodity toasters yet. CAN definitely has its limits. I remember smuggling a US refrigerator up to our favorite fishing camp above Lake of the Woods on Red River’cuz Canadians could not own or buy one yet.

9/11 PBS day or two prior! News cycles got strange… It was “Truman Show” weird. Listening the narrative was energized yet inflective that I translated as tells. The standard news reporter reads script of ‘children’s bedtime story for adults’ broke. In those weird breaks, a slice in seconds, the...

THE defining line between automobile or appliance - a power cord. Are EV’s transport or ubiquitous flying toasters? Divisive its not. No pleas of frugality, Libertarianism or Ayn Rand philosophizing needed. No one gets a jerry can with every ICE. Likewise, no one must buy a power cord to...

What are the chances? SONOS is an option! Beyond impressed, as a musician, I’ve not heard more musical, lyrical and freq modulated sound. I’m referencing six figure systems that can’t match its retail consumer product in-home. Excited to see SONOS chase the automotive space. It’s been a...

Good riddance. All that Ass-dragging tow-stuff can locate in the license-gap built into the rear bumper. That’ll put it where it belongs, up out of the way and engineered so as not to compromise departure angle. Cybertruck gains a coup that OEM’s can’t match its Hat Trick.

Technically, you are talking over @Dusty. Dusty makes the point that there is the not so little nor insignificant thing called IDRA casting machine. Elon asserts Cybertruck rear casting requires 8000# machine. Yet IDRA has produced a soon o see daylight IDRA 9000 series casting machine...
