Yeah, IDRA public reveal did show how their machine was bounded by and rested upon a framework of wide flange beam work. So the primary machine, itself, IDRA has devised for its controlled assembly, repeatable functionality and pre-fabricated requirements for its operating into the design with...
Process, production or servicing are the only reasons I can think to wait before committing to final signoff on foundation pour. Its a long time to live with a critical measurement missed or not realized until duh…obviously. SO better wait than sorry.
Whoa! Not so fast. Backup.
We’ve both played around with power, traction, speed and load. I’ve blown up my share of Chevrolet transmission casings, ring gears and traction components. From auto to 4x4 to truck drag racing, tractor pulling to field work we can tear shit up.
The linear...
That’s what I thought starting to critique the clip. With a degree in computer science and stint as Dir of Safety for the third largest irregular route carrier in US…it looked achievable to breakdown the ”test” being demonstrated.
Once into it the segments didn’t match-up, the sequencing was...
COMsci speak this is called a corner case. A test suite set of conditions that exhibit a flaw.
The flaw in this instance ‘cones’. Lots of cones, cones spaced and cones on both sides of what FSD would label its “lane” of travel. One variable- speed. One threat assessment - static toy.
Static toy...
What do the options look like POST a dozen GigaFactories around your planet?
Globalization begat CHAINS of supply. MASSIVE concentrates supply chains into integrated vertical silos with feeder nodes of talent, fab and suppliers. Reminiscent of HUB & SPOKE systems.
A dozen Giga provides...
Rivian R1x is the potential EV heir to the Chevy Blazer GM400 which kicked off the SUV craze. R1T is not a Tucker, Chord, AirFlow, Edsel or Corvair design. Rivian leaky cash solution won’t be a one trick pony(R1T). But it must absolutely leverage the R1S off T’s reception before that memory...
Noticed side gutters were ample in early 4680 schematics. So that empty area is Safety Zone by design, not extra battery space. You’ve provided very helpful information. Hope Cybertruck joins Tesla’s stellar list of Top Five Best Safety Rated.
Tesla chose such a non-compliant foam to get the...
Guys, Ladies, lurkers… we’ve passed from paradigm into revolution. Not one paradigm ICE to EV but three revolutions are now concurrent:
Energy revolution(electricity, sustainable, renewable)
Global revolution(thermal, geopolitical, technological)
World revolution(artificial, society, knowledge)...
May be too resistant. Pink looks super-hard!
Tesla may have trouble ahead getting class1 Safety certified. Structural batterypack will transfer side-impact force into the passenger compartment. Loading forces into the floorsheet(neh, pan) exploding into soft tissue attached by bolts and belts...
Actually, the point you’ve made is just about you.
Elon Musk showed a Single Motor Cybertruck under $40,000.00 if ordered at the launch. It wasn’t some figure a genius pulled out of thin air. That price was researched, leveraged and calculated against Tesla #1 pickup 45yrs running, the FORD...
It feels like the Cybertruck is slipping away…
Whoah God only knows, God makes his plan
The information's unavailable to the mortal man
We're workin' our jobs, collect our pay
Believe we're gliding down the highway, when in fact we're slip sliding away
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You...
That’s one take.
I saw the flippancy as Musk twitter-patter. I did not think EM answered the fund mgr’s question. But immediately expounded on his continued involvement in Tesla, Tesla future and future Tesla products.
That would have answered my question whether EM is planning a potential...
Turns out tariffs imposed on imported appliances jacked the price up in Canada for imported refrigerators. Red River was hours on gravel north of where pavement ended. We would see Native Tribal Canadians in canoe traveling back from winter camps. Remote fridges just exceed the incomes up in...
Here’s a ref:
Canada implemented cost prohibitive tariffs on imported electrical appliances.
It wasn’t banned in early 60’s, just extremely expensive until ~ 1980’s.
