I'm not sure what kind of drones they use here, but on Symphony of the Seas they use a big swarm of drones over the ice skating rink at their wonderful show in "Studio B"...
Traditional carmakers waste HUGE amounts of money making annual "cosmetic" changes... body styles, taillight designs, bumper styles, trim, and all sorts of other stupid shit just to appeal to faddish stylistic tastes. I think it's a whole lot smarter to avoid all that kind of crap and just...
I bought my first Tesla shares at about $388 a share. During these recent dips I bought more at about $820 a share. ;-) I'm a "buy and hold" investor and probably won't sell my shares until about the time my Cybertruck is going to be delivered... it would be cool if these shares paid off my...

Thanks. Yes, this was flown by me with Skynamic. I used various cinewhoops and 5“ drones. Unfortunately this...
The Tegtmeyer video this morning showed 3 GigaPresses installed, some parts for the fourth one (also 6K tons), and no parts yet (in Austin anyhow) for an 8K ton GigaPress.
The prototype doesn't have the final bed, which is probably going to be the cast aluminum produced on the huge new Gigapresses... which are still being made at IDRA in Italy.
I don't know if you've been following Joe Tegtmeyer's drone videos of progress at Gigafactory Texas... usually they update M/W/F afternoons. Here's the one from last Wednesday (today's should post in about 3 hours).
If I had to guess, and it's just a guess... I would think that Tesla will build maybe 150,000 Cybertrucks in 2023 and 350,000 in 2024 and 450,000 in 2025. Which means I'll get mine probably sometime in 2025.
At Austin they already have two Gigapresses fully operational. A third is being installed now, and two more foundations are being prepared. It's not yet sure whether these new foundations will be for the 6k ton or 8k ton Gigapresses (but my guess is that all five of these will be the 6k ton...
This would be a cool tire for the Cybertruck...!!

Would certainly solve the spare tire problem!!
The Citroen SM had very tight steering ratio (less than 2 turns lock-to-lock IIRC) but with variable assist (including powered centering!!). It came out around 1972. It was a GREAT car.
Again, Citroen DS was the revolutionary vehicle for air suspension, variable road clearance, etc etc. The height is controlled not by pressure (that's more a requirement of weight) but by volume... and it used not air balloons, but (in its case) high-pressure hydraulics in cylinders with...
BTW that was also the car that innovated the use of stalks for most everything... lights, horns, etc etc.... instead of buttons/knobs on the dash or elsewhere.
