  2. Fiery deaths?

    "Two dead in Tesla crash in Texas that was believed to be driverless". Took the Fire Department about/over 4 hours to put the fire out! WAY WAY WAY too long to put a car, any vehicle fire out! Roasted alive? Why Elon?????
  3. Double billing?

    "Tesla double-charged some customers for new cars, leaving them desperate for refund details" CNBC No wonder they were "profitable last year" and "sold" half a million cars. HEHEHEHEHE ??
  4. AMBRI: Liquid Metal Battery.

    From what I understand this battery CANNOT overheat, cannot be adversely affected by a short circuit ( or cannot be short circuited) if tipped sideways or upside down the battery self discharges and goes to a solid and all one needs to do is pass an electrical current through it to get it back...
  5. [CLOSED DUE TO POLITICS] "White House considers vehicle mileage tax to fund infrastructure"

  8. Malls

    Tesla, Electrify America, Rivian... should snap up some strategically located America wide shopping mall parking lots ( heck many are bankrupt, sitting empty, good pavement and have a good electrical set-up to start ) and put in charging stations that offer various speeds. But Tesla with the...

    "...Spot electricity prices in Texas’ West hub spiked above the grid’s $9,000 per megawatt-hour cap. Power typically costs $25 per megawatt-hour. Fox news excerpt. I just watched a lady who is quite conversant with data/numbers/markets... and she estimated that the spike in prices for...
  11. Tesla is under scrutiny by regulators in China over battery fires, unexpected acceleration, and more

    "Tesla is under scrutiny by regulators in China over battery fires, unexpected acceleration, and more" from Electrek and Fred Lambert. Hopefully this doesnt happen with the CT, but heck I am far enough away from the beginning that the "bugs" will be non-existent.
  12. Songs for the Cybertruck?

    What songs would you play while rippin around in the CT? I have a bunch but the 2 I would really enjoy would be "Ride like the wind" by Christopher Cross and "Sweet Home Alabama" Lynyrd Skynard.
  13. Price threat...possibly. Stainless steel price

    Stainless steel has gone up about 50% ( not 400 %, as i inaccurately stated priorly) and we know commodities can be cyclical and demand driven, amongst other things. Ergo, would higher CT prices stop you from buying, drive you down the motor scale ( i.e 3 to 2 or 2 to 1) or "ta hell with it...

  16. Aptera

    Seeing this thing, first thoughts were neat but it hit me, this thing is like paper mache! If a CT or truck or SUV ever hit it - at what ever angle - at least it is coffin size! This thing could work if a city ONLY allowed it, cyclists or motorcycles on the streets with a total ban on bigger...
  17. Electroluminescent Light

    Tho illegal-at least I think- one could do some fancy-ass designs using Electroluminescent Light. Sure make the CT a night time show in areas, deserts, the bush....
  18. Survival Drone

    Tho it never happened to me and I have heard it happen to another, and that is a hunter who parked his truck and wasnt able to find it for quite some time - either days or weeks later as the logging roads and their little off-shoots looked "the same". Now why he never "tagged" trees with spray...
  19. Charging differences?

    I have noticed, as well as those who use chargers and upload those videos, that there is about an 8-10Kw difference in what a charger displays as output and what the vehicle displays on input AND I noticed phones when used also show a 3rd difference. Anyone know what could be causing such a...
