Without the gas stops, you don’t make nearly as many C-Store stops so you have to stock up on Snickers and Bugles when you are at the grocery store. Then you end up with a big cache of Snickers at home and eat them all in 1 day. Also, home made Icees made with Hawaiian Ice maker just isn’t as...

Saw this road sign while I was in Hawaii. Thought it appropriate in this thread. @firsttruck might appreciate the humor anyhow.

D’Oh My bad. For some reason my brain skipped 2020. I think I was trying to keep a COVID bubble between 2019 and 2021.

You were here in 2018? Did you get a single digit RN. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

LOL. How is this any different from when he slept on the factory floor working on the Model 3? When he works crazy hard on something you like, he’s a great person. When he works crazy hard on something you don’t like, sociopath.

Another thread fallen to the fatal creeping Twittervirus

I think Musk believes a lot of his exaggerations. While he’s incredibly smart, he also tends to take his companies very very personally and when his pet projects are threatened he really takes it to heart. The factories burning billions comment wasn’t his fault though. Lots of people took that...

What would he be working on with the Cybertruck? Hand building prototypes? Helping pour the foundation for the Gigapress? Advising on installing the automated brakes for folding the exoskeleton? Writing the UI for the console? Musk is on the weekly production calls. He knows what’s going on...

Musk’s big goals for 2023: Starship to Orbit FSD Wide Release He just transitioned operations at Starbase to Shotwell, and Starship did a 14 engine static fire test today. Solid chance we’ll see Starship in orbit this year. Raptor production was for a long time his biggest time drain. FSD...

Do you have some link to this admission? What I saw was him saying he’s working 120 hours per week. That’s not the same as “too much on my plate”. Regardless, Cybertruck production is likely not blocked by Musk.

You can be a part of a thing… or you can pull a thing apart. /pedant

I thought we knew the Rivian was pretty delicate already. I think one of the earlier off-roading videos showed the truck just brush against something and the panel collapsed. Much like the Ford, I think it’s aluminum to save weight. The F150 had pretty bad problems with denting early on, but I...

I mostly like it. It’s just when I’m going through some sections of highway where it’s annoying. When I first got the car the auto lights were pretty bad and I turned it off for months. It is so much better now most of the time it’s a big win. The only time its really annoying is when on busy...

Weird thing on my Model Y happened on the latest update. A couple weeks ago, as part of the relentless march towards FSD full stack, the radar equipped Model Ys switched to the vision only stack. Radar is now like an appendix on my car. This means my car no longer lets me set TACC to follow...

I think electrical provided by EVs will be more and more common at large venues. Power at these huge festival is unreliable and expensive. Generators are noisy, smell bad, require juggling gas cans, and have their own reliability issues. An EV which provides clean power for a weekend. It’s a...

We queued up Iron Maiden’s “Number of the Beast” and blasted it right was they walked up. “Woe to Yee, Oh Earth And Sea, for the Devil sends the beast with Wrath…..” Was hard for them to speak over the stereo blaring. They don’t bother driving down our 1000’ driveway here.

Would love to tell everyone to message me. Unfortunately right now I need to organize events and end up talking to entirely too many people on the phone.

You give them more time than I do. “Hi, I’m Mary calling you about your car’s ex… **** CLICK ****

I live near a highway. Anyone who thinks cars should be louder is a jackass in my book. People have gotten entirely too accepting of the noise cars make. Lots of things like outdoor dining are just much better when you don’t have to deal with noise pollution from passing cars.

The NHTSA has told Tesla that allowing users to select their own sound is against the law. It’s a violation of the “Can’t have fun things” rule.
