So I have a young toddler in the house. Now that I'm trying to teach sounds but also be EV focused, what am I supposed to say for a car? Vroom, vroom works for a while but once we get all our vehicles switched to EV they won't be making that sound any more... What is the replacement vocalization...

Let's Check In On Nobe, Everyone's Favorite Estonian EV Maker There's a new pickup truck in the works and lots of carbon fiber By Jason Torchinsky Image: Nobe I first wrote about Nobe, the small Estonian company attempting to make what appears to be the most retro-cool three-wheeled EV I’ve...

WARNING: If you get offended enough by colorful language to miss the appropriateness of said language, you may want to skip this one.

Listening back to some AI day footage I heard this again. Which got me thinking. 5 miles per hour. Can I run that fast? Can I run that fast for a long time? Is this the new minimum required running speed in order for a person to be "healthy"? After all, if the robot revolution happens, one...

Elon Musk says Tesla (TSLA) is worth $3,000 a share ‘if they execute really well’ Fred Lambert - Sep. 4th 2021 12:34 pm PT @FredericLambert Elon Musk told employees that he agrees with Ark Invest that Tesla (TSLA) is worth $3,000 a share “if they execute really well.” The CEO has often...

So I'm starting to notice how I am responding to "Giga". Seems like it is everywhere these days. In some ways, it reminds me of the "Mc" from McDonald's and the "i" from Apple's products iPhone, iMac, etc. I know that McDonald's is pretty sue-happy around protecting the "Mc" designation on...

So.... I was watching a YouTube video about a car from the 80's and they were describing how to turn on AWD. The video had the following quote. With EV's it seems this whole system would be built with far fewer parts. But what caught my attention was the vacuum switch. I know car engines and...

Tesla files Parallel Processing patent to reduce FSD hardware error risks ByJoey Klender Posted on August 26, 2021 Tesla has filed a new patent for “Parallel Processing System Runtime State Reload,” comprising of a system of three or more processors working in conjunction to effectively...

LOL. This won't compete with the Cybertruck. But if it had a fully electric drive train, it would be a wonderful companion vehicle. Just use it as a support vehicle around the farm. Quick trips into town. Or some of the easier offroad trails in the area. I like how they covered it in bed liner...

Ford patents mobile charging solution for EVs like the Mach-E — by towing them Electric vehicles are prevalent now, but long-distance travel using EVs that are non-Teslas still tends to be challenging. This was, at least, the conclusion drawn by motoring publication Car and Driver following its...

I found this to be really interesting. Even just to get an idea of size as a proxy of difficulty.

Looking at the videos of the ocean on fire a few days back. I have to say, it looks suspiciously like the portal that the Pacific Rim movie Kaiju used to transport into our world. Did anyone check to make sure that none came through? Is Tesla powerful enough to start building Jaegers for our...

OK, this is a cool video: Beyond the obvious acceleration benefits the plaid brings to the table, one thing I notice is how quiet it is inside the MS. So quiet in fact that you can hear when the other cars hit the accelerator. Almost like being able to read the opponent's hand signals in...

Andrej Karpathy in this video describes why and how Tesla is using vision to train FSD. In the talk, he also mentions how Tesla's latest supercomputer cluster (1 of 3 apparently) is one of the top 5 clusters in the world. You know, cause they built it while also designing DOJO which doesn't seem...

Ok, I am seeing a lot more ads for various EVs now. Mostly from Lucid but others also. With all the dollars being spent on advertising, how many EVs will not be created due to lack of funds? I get that there may need to be some marketing of EVs but if you build interest in a vehicle that is not...

“I’m actually making history tonight as the first person with aspergers to host SNL. Or at least the first to admit it. So I won’t make a lot of eye contact with the cast tonight. But don’t worry, I’m pretty good at running human in emulation mode.”
