    A Unionized Tesla Workforce Could Benefit All Parties

    Bear with me. Being an old fogey like Sandy Munro I remember a time when Japanese cars were laughed at in the only for sales to soar as the 70s progressed I believe we face the same situation with Chinese EVs today - admittedly trucks may take them longer. This is going to put huge pressure...

    The Cybertruck Truck Guy argues with his favorite mechanic tuber...

    I think John has made several major errors. #1, I see no evidence that he understands what an 'S' curve is and what that means in terms of BEV sales growth potential. The fact that current sales are 2% is irrelevant if we are in a S curve environment. #2, The exact arguments he makes about...

    People often overestimate the range they need... Wildly.

    Not in TX. We have driven 6 to 7 hours for a 3 to 4 hour family visit. I don't think we are alone.

    Elon vs IG Metall Union - Who will win?

    and And there's the contradiction, unions and fast moving technology firms that have an increasing use of robots to replace people have an in built conflict. The result of which will be slower innovation, higher product prices and lower profits (with lower stock price growth).

    Elon vs IG Metall Union - Who will win?

    My money is on IG Metall. It's not a matter of Musk vs the Union, it's a matter of Musk versus German culture that dates back over a century. Good luck to Musk and I hope to be wrong.

    Jeremy Clarkson vs the Model X

    My 2 cents, he is yesterdays news. The only car videos I want to watch are on youtube, not these mainstream dinosaurs from the 1990s.

    I am holding firm on my CT reservation for the UK. Who else ?

    We don't know how the Brexit negotiations will turn out. The worst case is the UK may have a 10% tax on exports to the EU on WTO rules - that may well be negotiated lower. Shipping is not an issue, the Eurotunnel has the capacity to export millions of cars all over the EU mainland. Even with...

    Cybertruck As A Service?

    Yes. My local Homedepot rents out trucks and vans. I have used this service, it was very easy and cheap. I suspect Homedepot or perhaps a 3rd party will be moving into this space.

    CyberTruck vs Rivian R1T?

    As others have said, now Rivian has a huge order from Amazon and possibly others I wonder if they are as committed to the R1T as they should be.

    I am holding firm on my CT reservation for the UK. Who else ?

    That's where my money is. Tesla should build a factory in the UK.

    Is the folded exoskeleton actually easy to manufacture

    In case you didn't know SpaceX already uses this alloy. That experience gives them a huge advantage and I going to suggest they have all that already figured out.

    Cybertruck reliability concerns?

    No doubt about it the Fremont factory has ongoing output quality problems. From what I have read online part of the problem is the management 'culture' that pushes the line to focus on quantity over quality. I believe part of that is due to start-up pains from a new company desperate to grow...

    Will Cybertruck be available in France?

    As far as I understand it, in 2010, the European Union introduced new auto safety standards designed to reduce pedestrian fatalities and injuries. To reduce the risk of head trauma, the EU rules mandate features to reduce the severity of impact in the event a driver strikes someone outside the...

    Is Rivian R1T a better work truck than Cybertruck?

    Watch the full interview and not just that short clip. I don't think that short clip does the full interview justice.

    CNBC: "Who will win the EV pickup truck race?" - Cybertruck vs Rivian vs Hummer

    The S Curve will kick in at some point and there will be a rapid uptake in EV use. This will be a combination of technological advances and regulation. The only question is the slope of the S curve. My guess is that the CT will change everything
