I know we recently had a thread about rats chewing electrical cabling.... Last night I had an issue with humans lifting my Prius onto a couple blocks of wood, reaching under clipping some electrical wires and then stealing the Oxygen sensor that is between the engine and the exhaust system...

From Electrek: If you like electric trucks, or motorcycles (or both!), stop what you’re doing and watch Long Way Up Just in case you haven’t heard, Long Way Up on Apple TV+ is the third installment in Ewan McGregor’s and Charlie Boorman’s trilogy of long-distance motorcycle adventure rides...

OK, Rich Rebuilds went out to investigate the Sherp. I have to say, it's way slower than a CT but based on the discussion about fuel economy, it might be really interesting to get one converted to full electric. And it will be able to go places the CT just won't. Not quickly but it will get...

Just ran across the DiriSolar project. I like that it is solar-powered. I remember as a kid, dirigible projects were talked about but never thought of as something that would be real. Then a few (20?) years ago I started hearing about them again. It was always a project that was up and coming...

So, apparently with the latest OTA update from Tesla, one can now choose the sound that the vehicle will make while driving at low speeds. Snake Jazz is of course one of the options. And you can add your own MP3 to have whatever sounds you would like instead. So..... For all those who don't...

OK, so here is another new EV company. Alpha Motor Corporation (alphamotorinc.com) I have to say I like the look of the first vehicle called the Alpha ACE. But here is the thing. The reservation page says that the MSRP is currently between $32k and $39k. So..... I could almost get a single...

OK. I just had a thought. I'd been thinking about taking longer tour trips around the country with my CT when I heard the guys over on Now You Know mentioned in a video that they had pre-ordered a Semi. Got me thinking. What if "one" were to buy a Semi, fix up a trailer like the old Knight...

In another thread the idea of charging the CT from solar panels that were carried in the bed was brought up and I see that as a challenge question for extra credit that could be answered by the engineers on this site. It would be interesting to know: How many solar panels (and estimated total...

Tesla (TSLA) will kick out Occidental Petroleum from the S&P 100 index BySimon Alvarez Posted on December 14, 2020 A recent announcement from the S&P Dow Jones Indices has indicated that Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) will be replacing Apartment Investment and Management Co. in the S&P 500. Apart from...

So with all the fancy stabilization and traction control that Tesla vehicles have, can they be used for drifting? Or is there a special drifting mode? I’m thinking all that torque would make drifting easy as long as the computers permitted it. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Tesla being...

OK, I must confess that as a kid I dreamed of someday having my own rat rod. I loved the creativeness of the various individual designs. The engineering that went into creating structures that were so exaggerated but could still be driven. And having Hotwheels equivalents always helped. But a...

So I was out driving yesterday and came across a section of the road where there were people directing traffic. It got me wondering if FSD was going to be smart enough to be able to follow the directions given by a traffic director person. You know the cop or construction person who is giving...

Tesla loophole for direct sales in Michigan is getting shut with impressive political backstabbing After years of fighting, Tesla thought it was safe from Michigan’s latest effort to prevent car dealers from having competition from new automakers, but now we learn that the state legislature...

I used to live somewhat close to a busy interstate and never really liked going outside because the sound from the traffic was loud enough to make it difficult to communicate. So my next residence we moved far from the interstate and it is soooo much quieter. I enjoy being outdoors sooooo much...

So I occasionally like to watch Teslacam Stories. Over and over there are instances of drivers of non-Tesla vehicles that get into an accident with a Tesla. Often the drivers will then reportedly completely lie about how the accident happened. Once the Teslacam footage is shown they then recant...

Tesla Model S roof seen flying off in dashcam video, Tesla blames third-party shop For the second time in two months, the roof of a Tesla vehicle was caught on video flying off while driving. But this time, it’s a Model S and Tesla puts the blame with a third-party repair shop. Last month, we...

So I just saw the new ad for the 2021 Jeep Rubicon 392 Pre-CT I would have thought "Cool!" But the first stat they brag about is: 0 to 60 in 4.5 seconds Followed up by the statement: "This is an entirely new kind of speed." Yeah I thought, Slow. LOL. It's a nice ad but I still want my CT!!

So how long do you think it will take till we start seeing a large number of cybertruck themed events? I keep finding more and more events built around Jeep vehicles. I just found Jeep Beach I’d love to see the CT community start to build out a bunch of events.The Jeep community seems really...
