https://shop.nasaspaceflight.com/products/cybertruck-metal-print I don't know if you guys are interested in this sort of thing, but an NSF photographer got a very nice shot and put it in their print shop. -Crissa

And this is why Tesla works so hard on FSD and safety mechanisms. But most of it is infrastructure. Fewer driveways, more sidewalks, multi-use paths - especially where you don't expect pedestrians. 'Cause nothing worse than being stranded and not having a way off. -Crissa

This is interesting: https://www.theaa.com/driving-advice/safety/dutch-reach We all know that doors and entering traffic can be deadly to bikes, heck we've all seen videos of someone plowing through a popped open door with their Tesla on Wham Baam, right? The Automobile Association in the UK...

Interestingly - since just Wednesday I checked and - the 4680 Model Y has been seemingly removed from the design studio. Either this means they know how to make the 4680 in the Long Range version or something's up as they ready the factory... -Crissa

https://www.notateslaapp.com/news/1559/tesla-adds-universal-wall-connector-with-magic-dock-type-solution This is pretty cool, and deals with compatibility with J-plugs in the box. I'm tempted to buy it. -Crissa

Reliability, cable weight, and the CCS protocol still are bugs to be worked out before the charging woes will be cleaned up. And perhaps more frustrating, that means even the Supercharger network is also going to have teething issues as they adapt to being compatible with more vehicles. Having...

The 'Cyber cell' is ready and meeting expectations. This is what they said on the earnings call. So... No more worrying about how they're going to reach 500 miles of range; they know the answer, even if we don't. Okay? -Crissa

https://wlos.com/news/local/solar-powered-travel-coast-rv-new-belgium-event-electric-trailer-asheville-tour# Sounds kinda interesting! I love me a little pop-up event. Solar and electric trailers often are a topic around here... -Crissa

We've had this argument a dozen times. Raising the price by $10K is only 14% for the Tri Motor, but it's 20% for the Dual. 3/Y prices are back to what they were when the Cybertruck was released. Performance would be the 500 mile range version, Standard would be the 300 mile one. So... Let's...

Very good news for Cybertruck. -Crissa

Lowest taxes in the state and... man, these roads are terrible. Hehe ^-^ -Crissa

Pretty comprehensive, honestly. Probably a good one to show your spouse ^-^ -Crissa

https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/ford-survey-results-lightning-owners-use-their-trucks-differently-even-more-truck-stuff-than-ice-owners.14795/ Fascinating stuff! Apparently the average for those who sought out the electric F150 were far more active than the more common...

Sometime you need to carry things that don't fit in a van. And I can't rent an EV van or truck until someone buys them anyhow. And this is why the Cybertruck will be better: It's only taller when it needs to be. It's only uncovered when it needs to be. It has a nose that doesn't hide a...

We've had much handwringing since someone said the bed was 4' by 6'. We don't know who, but they're presumably an employee. But we also don't know how they were measuring it, or if they were rounding any. -Crissa

Looking good, to be honest. They're really pushing their availability. I wonder where I am in their queue... -Crissa

Imagine those big pieces we saw in the Cybertruck being slotting in, instead of many pieces, bit stamped and cast pieces linking together. -Crissa

Not to laugh at someone's misfortune, because there will be those problems and certain cars will have a malfunction from time to time (like those Model Ys which the heat pump flaps froze open, or the poor guy whose Model S couldn't prep the battery for charging under a certain temperature)...

Photobombed by a Smart Car at four minutes. At seven minutes they observe it's kinda loud. 43 minutes, Nikki discusses how it uses more power than her Lightning did while towing. ...And they make positive noises about the Cybertruck in their comparisons. -Crissa
