Gas stations can use different pumps, but still deliver gas. A gas station not making the specifications of their pump open would not keep anyone from designing a gas pump. Tesla gave the specs for the connector, the electronics that drive that are like the fuel pump. I am interested to see...

Since there are Forums for the other EV Trucks, why not for the Tesla Semi? Sure, it will be more rare than a Model S, but... if not their own forum, maybe a section on the Cybertruckownersclub.com forums? Thanks!

And seem to be getting advice from several sources...

Side impacts were already very impressive on Teslas...

People say digging is expensive, but when these aerial power lines start forest fires that burn millions of trees releasing tons and tons of carbon into the air... Not sure I think that equation balances the way many used to think it did. 2-3 times a year, my power is cut because a car or truck...

I am still not sure why power lines have to go in the air. We manage to put other utilities in the ground (water, gas, sewage) and other countries have found a way to do it... (and I am aware of how grounding works) Yes, storage will be important, but so will be adjusting power hungry...

Hopefully the rate of roof-top solar adoption increases, as well as wind and grid scale solar, it should be fine... But I really wish we would start a program on putting all utilities in the ground, were power would not be knocked out by wind or a drunk driver (last time I lost power was...

I stopped reading at the same point. Bad journalism is bad journalism, no matter what site it is on or company that endorses it.

I think that is true for short term investors. Long term investors ignore short term volatility, or at least discount it, and focus on other metrics.

Seems strange that the Model Y is not exactly the same as the Model 3. Also, where are the Model S and X? Does their battery cells being made in Japan really push them off the list completely? Or are there other aspects that get them moved off the list?

Too easy to turn on cruise control and/or autopilot... because making it easy to intentionally turn something on is the most recent version of "unintended acceleration", which is to say "Driver did action, we can show that in the log..." That they (Tesla) knew this would be a thing with...

HEMTT Truck. Figure a semi truck or two battery pack... https://www.govplanet.com/for-sale/Heavy-Expanded-Mobility-Tactical-Truck-%28HEMTT%29-1989-Oshkosh-M985-HEMTT-8x8-Truck-w%2F-Rear-Mounted-Crane-Texas/729169/NSN/2320-01-100-7673

I have read several science fiction that terraformed Mars... the problem with most of them is the lack of a magnetic field and gravity, which leads back to the issues Mars has now. Dome/roof over the Valles Marineris. That would provide lots of new land, contained atmosphere, could do orbital...

Funny, when I watched that video, that is not the conclusion I came too nor that I thought he came too. I thought he pointed out the very limited set of conditions it would take for the Rav4 Plugin to cause less CO2 than the Tesla Model Y he was stacking it up against. He showed exactly when...

Why tack on a new article to a thread started with an article from 6 months ago?

I think that will require laws to change, such as a simplified tax code (flat tax for corporations and individuals) will make it easier to reduce loop holes.

Now if they would just pay all their employees a living wage.

If it does what is promised to do (lower power, higher bandwidth, more secure Bluetooth/NFC replacement), then makes sense to start testing and implementing now. And if it costs more, then being in a more expensive vehicle (Roadster, Semi, Model S Plaid Plus) might make more sense (for testing...

I am a big fan of asteroid mining... for space structures and use. Bringing it back down... not been sold on that (but if it makes sense, sure). I was going to link to the Limiting Factor's video, but someone did that already!

I think we will need to retrain our brains that the steering wheel is a joystick, it shows intent, not an exact, fixed ratio of movement input to output. Speed could also be used to vary the ratio, at slower speeds, small steering results in large movement. At high speeds, large steering...
