LOL. At 5:02 A supposed dig at CT construction? But I hear that as an inferior construction. Guess I’ve been around CT info too much at this point for a body on frame to be an advantage anymore. I did agree with his comment though about being surprised at the size. The tenders gave me the...

This is boredom outrage.

All the aliens coming in their UFOs to see if their ordered CT is ready yet or not.

Half the time people are promoting the idea that big auto is going to out compete Tesla. If so, then the demand for the big auto EVs will be so high they won’t be able to keep them on the lots and the dealerships will be marking them up to crazy expensive prices. The other half of the time...

That may be what the OEMs think. But the dealerships are salivating at the extra $12,500 profit they are going to get on the EVs. Tesla will just pass the discount on to the buyers. The dealerships for other makers will use the discount to mark up the original price and just get more profit. No...

Jeff Who? Has an alter-ego of Space Karen. Who would have known… Interestingly that around here (Seattle area) Amazon does everything it can to skirt regulation. And one could argue that in the space arena, Jeff Who is trying to skirt regulations by changing contract rules with overwhelming...

I really, really want to see a starship launch and land. That double landing of the falcon boosters was a very special day. The next big turning point in human space flight is going to be successful starship reuse. I'm SOOOO excited for that.

Well, till you lose your credentials. I think we all harbor a king for a day fantasy. I’ve come to realize I’m not wanting anything more than the fantasy of that though.

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...

The last time Cathie Wood gave what seemed like an outrageous estimate for Tesla, Tesla hit that estimate much earlier than anyone expected. If I remember correctly it was at least 1 year before Cathie's projected date. Crossing my fingers that Tesla does the same again. It seems there is only...

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...

Rivian’s $80 Billion Worth Reflects Confidence, Not Cash Flow By Kyle Stock and Edward Ludlow August 30, 2021 A Valuation Based on Plans, Not Production Is Rivian Automotive the $80 billion company it’s aiming to be in an upcoming IPO? That’s the number sources gave us in our scoop a few...

I wasn't watching Telsa much back in 2010 as I didn't have the $$ to buy one. Rivian being owned by Amazon seems like the company could (relatively) easily make it to profitability without needed an IPO. But I wonder if they have the velocity to be able to catch up to Tesla. Selling EV delivery...

Rivian files for IPO, $80 billion target is 350 times Tesla's IPO valuation BENGT HALVORSON AUGUST 27, 2021 The electric vehicle maker Rivian has confirmed that it is planning to pursue an initial public offering (IPO) this fall, aiming for a valuation roughly 350 times that of Tesla’s IPO...

Confusion brews as retro-style EV startup Alpha Motor turns on the charm BENGT HALVORSON AUGUST 28, 2021 The electric vehicle startup Alpha Motor Corporation posted a video this week that showed the “launch” of its Alpha Wolf electric pickup concept. In it, Joshua Boyt and Jay...

And here is a video from someone who actually got a written response from Alpha motors. Would be cool if someone could get pictures of the truck in the Petersen. But the way things are going, I doubt there will be any production even on the 2023 timeline. If they are going to make that...

Alpha Wolf Debut. Stated estimate for availability is late 2023. Interestingly, the Wolf is now available for viewing at the Petersen Automotive Museum through mid-November. Is the Petersen becoming the new must-stop location for EV's?
