    Tesla stock price....!

    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...

    Tesla stock price....!

    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...

    Rumor: Cybertruck Gigapress set to begin operating next month!

    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.

    In the actual production model the bed is cast aluminum, and won't look like the hand-built prototype...!!!

    Cybertruck Photos Leaked! ? [Added: Video Showing Whole Truck -- Rear & Bed]

    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.

    Tesla’s Elon Musk highlights Cybertruck’s uniqueness, explains adoption of yoke

    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.

    Tesla’s Elon Musk highlights Cybertruck’s uniqueness, explains adoption of yoke

    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.

    Tesla’s Elon Musk highlights Cybertruck’s uniqueness, explains adoption of yoke

    The Citroen DS21 had a single-spoke steering wheel with the spoke in the 7-8 o'clock position... and it was great for precisely that reason.

    To me, that sounds like it was still on, and "remembered" the controller "id" it was last been connected to...?

    What makes you think the truck powers off automatically, if you don't turn off the switch on the underside of the truck?

    Just got back from breakfast and decided to drive it around on the paved circle outside the house. Turned off the CT and brought it inside, and after a few minutes the power LED on the controller DOES turn off.

    I don't want to just waste the controller batteries when I'm not using it!

    Mattel Hot Wheels

    Works great, but have you figured out how to turn off the controller? There's a power switch on the CT but on the controller the power LED seems to stay on.... how long? Seems crazy to have to take out a battery (with a screwdriver!) to turn the controller off...?

    Latest From Musk: Production Cybertruck almost exactly same but better. No door handles. 4 wheel steering. Self opening doors.

    I looked on Ebay and Amazon... incredibly diverse prices there. Hard to tell what the "real/normal" reasonable prices are like.

    Latest From Musk: Production Cybertruck almost exactly same but better. No door handles. 4 wheel steering. Self opening doors.

    Is it actually electric somehow? Hmm.... there actually are remote-control ones too, both 1:63 scale and 1:10 scale...listed on both Amazon and Ebay...
