Sidenote: My mother just bought a new vehicle after getting fed up with maintenance issues on her current ICE. Before she went to the ICE dealership to trade in and buy a new one, I begged her to just test drive a Model Y. She refused to do it. No interest in even trying it out! Isn't that crazy?

This article (and the report it's based on) may be super important when it comes to the traditional OEM's who have spent so much time creating an ICE culture that is 'superior' to EV's. Their customers have no idea that EV's are objectively better vehicles than ICE. And that's their own fault...

<Begin rant> Another bullshit anti-electric posture from the Sledding community. This author is absolutely clueless. And he's completely wrong about his central point that all sleds are going to be electric someday. The snowmobile scene will never become all electric. It simply isn't an option...

You may be right! I hope so. I think the counter arguments would be: - Energy storage based on ion-movement type batteries depends on the number of ions available, and thus depends directly on available mass. - For a true step change, we need to get beyond mass-dependent battery types a find...

It seems like the way Mercedes achieved such high range was to cut back drastically on mass and drag. That's all fine and good, but it shows that their battery tech is not driving the gains. In fact, I would argue that in general, battery technology is not going to improve drastically more than...

It's a gorgeous and great concept. But to be clear these are all renderings, right? Mercedes hasn't actually built this thing, they just imagined it. I'm really happy to see the emphasis on reducing the drag coefficient. EV's need to be about efficiency.

It's interesting to think about the future playing field for EV's. I'm sensing in this discussion that we're envisioning the future EV market as being just like the current ICE market. But that may not be how it turns out. Here's one new dynamic that could play out: Current ICE market...

As an engineer and programmer, I've always doubted that FSD could ever beat a human driver on average in the real world. But, the more I learn about Tesla's FSD development, the more I can see how it just might work. I really appreciated Elon going into the technical details in this interview...

I was in that same Tesla store in August. They had a Model Y in the store, with several people playing around on / inside of it. We test drove a Y that day. Blew my mind.

Most switches have POE ports that turn off/on based on the device you plug in. My guess is that your switch is not properly detecting that a POE device is plugged in, and thus not supplying POE. Something about the signaling is changing when you connect through the (unpowered) POE injectors...

I think it got down to $909. I had a limit buy set at $905. So close!

Serious question here: What are the actual chances of Rivian still existing 5 or 10 years from now? Their plan is to build a new plant in Georgia, construction starting this summer. Maybe Amazon and Ford are willing to bankroll this, but then what? By 2025 when Rivian's output is finally...

Yeah, Tanks. Currently down to $99.30. Down 14% today. Down 7% from IPO. They're burning $1.2 billion per quarter. And have built about 700 vehicles. Yet they're valued 25% higher than ford. If that is a reasonable valuation, then TSLA stock should probably be around $50,000/share right now...

Interesting news on the Rivian front: (source) Rivian stock tanks after EV maker sees production constraints hindering sales Last Updated: Dec. 16, 2021 at 6:10 p.m. ETFirst Published: Dec. 16, 2021 at 4:32 p.m. ET By Claudia Assis 0 Rivian Automotive Inc. stock tanked late Thursday as the...

I bought some more shares today. And I plan to keep buying if it keeps dropping.

Hilarious. Ridiculous. Jeep clearly doesn't care about aerodynamics, which means they don't care about efficiency. And that Honda looks like a Cybertruck-Lincoln lovechild.

good to know!

And yet again, an analyst who completely ignores the non-EV sales part of Tesla's potential. And on top of that, the author selectively used outdated information. Also not giving Tesla a fair assessment of their battery technologies and growth prospects, which are 10+ years ahead of everyone...

Man, it's just crazy how much money people are making on TSLA. I sold my shares a few months ago and made some excellent profits, but I totally missed the rally from $650 to $1000. Good on you for those who still have their shares. I will be buying any major dip for sure. I still can't...

To me, It feels like they just don't know exactly when CT production will start, so they're saying late 2022 to be safe. Certainly it will be *BY* the end of 2022, but is there really any reason it couldn't start earlier? I really wish we had clarity on this. It sounds like 4680 production is...
