    Money is mute
later, read on. A startification occurred since Cybertruck was announced. The pickup has gone from 4x4, RWD,AWD,4WD to 4AD. Cybertruck is the later 4 axel drive variant meaning 4 motors-4 drive axels. Rivian 4WD; 4 motors-4 wheel drive hasn’t won the BEV 4x4 technology 4X gambit...

    Should Tesla 're-design the wheel' for CyberTruck?

    I’m the off-roader who goes places, anywhere, everywhere and pushes boundaries where a vehicle can go – what it can do. Bought a puncture kit - 20yrs. ago. Have yet to use it. Replaced many a tyre sidewall puncture, sidewall cut, tread slice and one blowout. SO it’ll be a racked...

    Will USA bill enable TSLA to build its own “chips”?

    USA, worried CHN chips are unsafe even TSMC is at-risk, motivated passing bill funding new US Chip making. Funding BILLIONS to re-home chip designs, chip fabs, chip manufacture and geo-fence US chip technology through measures in the bill. Tesla have MILLIONS of products shipped every year that...

    Today it popped back up the Maverick EV pickup by FORD in my AppleNEWS feed. PR seeding to keep FORD top-of-mind. Still no news, details but planned in the future!

    Should Tesla 're-design the wheel' for CyberTruck?

    Ok. gotta ask. Did EM give you his Ph#? That one hadn’t heard was in the works. That’s interesting

    Closed tonneau rack system

    The ~900# batterypack SWAG lowers CG damn near’t your feet. Air suspension convention stiffens the more air is pumped - the higher raises the body. IDK, if anyone does know, exactly what Tesla dynamic brings to the air suspension game. Were I to guess, it decouples air from shock performance...

    Musk says Tesla Raw Materials prices trending down.

    No one knows MSRP, teehee. Elon’s comment indicates he is still gathering raw data and doesn’t seem to have the downstream modifier inputs added-in. Tesla has to stage a launch to orbit with the first Cybertrucks. He doesn’t need headwind from the beginning. Eyes are on this product. Buyers...

    Should Tesla 're-design the wheel' for CyberTruck?

    Busted! That’s just narrative tech-baiting Tesla’s R&D gearheads with magnetic absortion of 10yrs ago, which exists barring the expense back then, it might have reached attainable. M-B IIRC is passive vibration damp. IDK if it has active. Me think it Bose that did trial the streets of Boston...

    Musk says Tesla Raw Materials prices trending down.

    Dude, its a racket and the statistics, morbity and QoL backup that statement. The US healthcare ranks ~47th in the world, #1 most expensive. This from a man married 16yrs to a Scripps physician practicing in SoCal. Drop your golden handcuffs, start living life, yours before a named disease or...

    Right to repair; Sustainable prioritisation

    So cool
my girls could care less even though Mom’s a wedding singer. Neat that translated for yours. Small environs reinforced musicality in 60’s when Dad bought an organ for himself it was playtime that made it a hit. Tried keyboard controller laptop-software emulation DAC to front of house as...

    Should Tesla 're-design the wheel' for CyberTruck?

    As ex-roadbiker(pedal) 25yrs, thin skinny high bar pressure reigned. Until science educated a bike aficionado who tested rolling resistance. Science-speak I can’t but simple-man translation is “contact patch” matters. And smallest contact patch lost. The ability of bigger, wider, softer lower...

    Right to repair; Sustainable prioritisation

    Capacitors, connectors and sealed components at 800-900v exposed to shakedown 50+ yrs exceeds my wildest experience. 1956 Hammond B3 just sounded better, raspier older its caps. But hotrodding with new caps took latest capacitor technology to new sonic heights for the olde girl. New technology...

    Battle of the Giga factories

    Europe‘s N-hard geo-political “Black Swan” event doesn’t sell Teslas in EU. Model Y production is already perpetual. Tesla can sell as many as it can make. Unless Berlin can build MY in absence of LNG no model Y’s from Berlin will ship to USA. GigaBerlin is sunk cost. Cybertruck production...

    Battle of the Giga factories

    As a high concept -flyover- view, the US doesn’t need war, doesn’t want war and war no longer affects US money(FedReserve prints it). USD is the world currency. Repeat of WWII is so last century. That century played out, left wealth aplenty for the victor -US- and Hunger Games for all the rest...

    Closed tonneau rack system

    Because “swing-weight” causes ‘tippy’, you don’t want more than couple hundred lbs. that high up, above CG. Rule is “If you build it – they will load it” to max! Built a rack with strong as Space Shuttle T-6 alum only to have the front wheels lift off terra firma. In commercial contracting when...

    Closed tonneau rack system

    Perhaps AR, colloquial absorbed usage growing up IA. Its color commentary that passes where direct reference would be insulting midwest decorum in public. AR might be the higher art form if Pres. Clinton is any measure. He was Little Rock grown. Most brilliant man met, wore bib overalls looked...
