I attended a Tesla owners rally a few weeks ago and gave the Telsa rep from Atlanta my contact info (I told him I had a CT on order). He gave me a lot of info while I was sitting in a demo Tesla sedan. One of the owners there allowed me to ride with him for a few laps on the racetrack where the...

"Potential Shortages As New Supply Chains Develop The EV market will bring many new technologies and increase demand on unique parts and materials. As the supply chain continues to develop for these products, some hiccups may occur as capacity scales to match demand. For example, increasing EV...

I spent two and a half years in Korea with the Army and Koreans are masters at stealing intellectual property and designs. You could go to any market and get bootlegged music and videos and they knocked off sneakers, watches and designer goods at a prodigious rate. The big Dawoo dump trucks...

" Hmmmm.... now I want a compact backhoe to play with... can’t afford that though. Lol" Check with your local equipment rental stores. The one in my area runs weekend and holiday specials and will deliver a machine to you (assuming you own some land to play on). I rented a decent sized track...

" @Quicksilver I find your posts on this topic very well written. I rarely find someone who brings out that side of the argument so well. Thank you. " You are welcome Sir. After this debacle of an election I have tried to be civil in my discourse with all people, even though I may disagree with...

" How is it that someone so old could be so incurious to their world? " I have 40 acres in NE Alabama where we raise our own animals and food. Climate affects just about every aspect of what we do. The fact that I can walk outside in a tee shirt in Feb. is not lost on me. Winters seem to be...

" everything you said went into the trash when you said you think global warming is a hoax. think what you want; you just don't understand the evidence that proves it. " " ...on a question of scientific veracity, your opinion has no worth, use or purpose... " I've been on this earth for 66...

I got to visit Zeppelinheim when I was stationed in Germany back in the 70's. It was the center of the German airship industry back in the day and where most of their big airships were built. They even built one for the US military. Due to a shortage of helium most of Germanys airships used...

They prob should have ran that by the shareholders first. It sounds like a good way to commit business suicide. Sounds to me like they are giving in to "greenmail" to appease those who want to force everyone to adapt to their idea of how the world should work. I love EV technology and am waiting...

" I don't think I'd miss the drone of those diesels. They ruin radio reception, messed with the newvicon cameras, ugh... ^-^ ". I drove several commercial vehicles with two stroke Detroits in them and the drone does get tiresome especially if you were in a cabover sitting right on top of the...

I like the idea of an electric long haul bus/motorhome but I still miss the drone of those big double breasted Detroit diesel engines that powered them back in the day. When I was in the military back in the 70's I "rode the Dog" (Greyhound) before I got a car. And what country fan could forget...

This is an ongoing problem with all industries. The Chinese seem to be the most brazen of the bunch but other countries are on the bandwagon. My guess is that even the US practices industrial espionage on some scale. When I was stationed in Korea it was obvious that the Koreans had knocked off...

When I was a Squad Leader in the Army one of my female soldiers drove a Toyota Supra. She had a baby girl and named her Supra. The running joke in the unit was that the kid was conceived in the back of said car.

I drove the "Command HUMVEE" (Slantback with turret on top) when I was a Battalion Commander's driver in Korea in 1990. I hated that thing especially trying to drive on the narrow roads and in Seoul. In my opinion the thing was designed by a team of idiots after conferring with a group of...
