    My first Cybertruck knick-knack

    I was at the Bellevue WA Tesla store yesterday helping a family member. While we were there talking to the reps, they gave us each Cybertruck logo wrist bands.

    CT Specific Accessories

    Was just reading this thread. I've now seen a few different makers with accessories "made for the CT". All of the external attaching accessories though seem to just be the same kinds of accessories as other trucks get with CT specific attach mechanisms and power connections. The one issue I...

    Other Modes for FSD

    So Zach and Jesse have a Disruptive Investing video about the steer-by-wire patent that Tesla has. Some of the points they make have to do with FSD and ways that FSD could interact with steer-by-wire. Which got me thinking about some other scenarios that an FSD vehicle with all drive-by-wire...
