Watch FORD

That’s huuuge! From 7th to 6th…now 4th during COVID, out migration and the high COL in the golden state. The disconnect must be high technology that’s a-cyclical.

RtR is not the death knell of car repair, repairpersons or car repair shops irrespective of that famous Australian example of extinction. I admire the fun literary usage in context, tho. Here’s the deal people are missing in RtR. The high level flyover view reveals hidden in the system is a...

Such a rebuild scenario begs an inventoried stash of cells with known properties to capacity-match back to the rest of the OG module subject to repair. Not cheap, not maintenance free on the shelf neither but those are the odds in play. Anybody doing pack-level surgery is up against long odds...

Not a Tesla Energy project

Not reading, from people in the industry. They have worry that stuff happens while it’s piling up. Piling up in places it was never meant to be. Gen’l public don’t get exposed to the belly of the beast. I have more but this suffices to put a fine point on every nuclear lover’s dream. Nuclear...

You aren’t wrong. BUT neither is @Crissa. This puddle stomp in a rainstorm(re:Ian) is going-on as a nuclear Safety Officer in Miami is sitting in a nuclear plant full of containerized nuclear waste. Waste storage for which it was never designed, intended and for which there exists no option to...

This panel buckle is damning evidence against Rivian design. The fact there appears no contact abrasion or point of impact is telling. It teaches that the design of the stamped metal panel is weak at a crucial point(i.e. corner). We know that to be the case because there was no surrounding...

Is Elon’s voice and quote ”fair use”? Elon may not but Tesla may better qualify for a takedown notice.

This scenario suggests man-in-the-middle attack able to wrest control and inflict violence with a Tesla. Teslas have two computers and one OTA port of entry doubling a hackers level of work. The security scheme may be redundant meaning that capturing one computer is not success and hacking...

An answer why it will not is in order. EE SME needs a “deep dive” with Jordon Giesige “The Limiting Factor“ covering Tesla batterypack, charging and floating abilities. Fault Tolerance is a thing that makes electricity, water and humans safe. Having integrated Fault Tolerant circuit panel into...

ANYONE see followup investigation for the FATAL Rest Area lane departure a Tesla took right into the rear end of a parked Semi - completely into the parking lot? Its crazy…as in inconceivably probable, though now its a possible.

Watch. They’ll approve use in combination not alone. LOL

Ginormous X-style doors and two puny hinges that they’re sprung on guarantee a flimsy fit. It doesn’t look producible. There are ways to force fit at the closure threshold but man, what is shown is throwing red flags.

In the Midwest, I sold a front or rear clip every other month. My college car was a brand new ‘71 Monte Carlo proudly sporting a rear bumper smashed against its backseat. Found a rear clip in DENver 900miles away and welded the two together in time for Semester start. Clip method is a pretty...
