    Can Tesla Cybertruck Actually Stop Bullets? Technical Analysis by a Firearms Instructor [** NO POLITICAL DISCUSSIONS **]

    Thank you for an excellent well researched article. I'm no hunter or much of a gun slinger so I ask this question more out of ignorance and real curiosity. Surely, even if a high velocity bullet pernitrates a Cybertruck's skin it will have lost a considerable amount of its energy and suppose it...

    What if your place in line cost $1000.00?

    I am prepared to pay 10 trillion Zimbabwe dollar. Any takers?

    Cybertruck reservation order number -- how to tell your place in line

    My 2 cents worth - My guess is you are not more than 20,000. Middle of 2022.

    Cybertruck reservation order number -- how to tell your place in line

    I ordered on about 7th January 2020 - trimotor with FSD, USA order. It seems with order # RN113210631 I am about 466,507 on the list! However they said they are doing 3 motor first so that means all the single motor orders can be moved behind me. What about the orders placed in front of me from...

    Nikola partners with GM

    GM invested sweet b-all! They got given the share of Nikola free, gratis and for nothing! Just for legitimizing Nikola by undertaking to supply the tech and everything other than the silhouette of a truck called a Badger. What's more Nikola still pay GM nearly 3/4 billion dollars to set up the...

    Nikola partners with GM

    I think you should not put Rivian and Nikola in the same basket. Nikola is a scam. They have nothing but renderings and a few fake proto-types whilst Rivian have actually made working proto-types and have production facilities and major backing from Ford and more especially Amazon. I have...

    Anyone polishing their Stainless Steel Cybertruck to a mirror like finish?

    My guess is that as it is a curved surface the reflective glare would be far less. I have driven behind vehicles with flat glass rear doors that catch the sun and it is quite unbearable driving behind them.

    Anyone else have their FSD option now say $8k?

    They did say that you would lock the price in at $7 K even if there were increases in the interim which they suggested was likely.

    Elon Musk teases ‘lots of improvements’ for the production Cybertruck

    My guess is if the wheel bolt spacing is a stock size then its just a matter of getting the right wheel size with the right offset and we should be good to go. One reservation I had at the launch was the wheels they had fitted. Not a big fan of those I'm afraid.

    Article: Who Is *Actually* Going To Buy A Tesla Cybertruck?

    I placed 2 orders - A single motor and a tri motor due to indecision. I will only be taking up one, which will be the tri motor. I am about 460000 on the list so I bought a Model 3 to use in the meantime. When my Cybertruck arrives I will pass the Model 3 onto "madam". I plan to go to Texas...

    Nikola partners with GM

    My guess is that this gets GM into large scale production of EVs without having to market that EV as a direct competitor to their ice pick-ups and through their dealer network. They still need their ice vehicles to survive and to recoup their investment in ice. When the time is right they will...

    Lucid Air EV Has a Projected 517 Miles of Range, and We Saw 458 Miles on a Real-World Ride-Along

    Not convinced that's the case here. If Lucid expect deliveries in early 2021 then final specs and performance criteria must be announced now. I'm really excited and hope that they achieve the 500 mile + range. It's great news for the EV industry as this will become the new benchmark and it won't...

    Nikola is going to crush Tesla with its new technology!

    What really amazes me is the number of gullible people who have invested in this obvious ponzi operation. Are people really that stupid? Trevor is such an obvious bullsh1tter. But not stupid! He has got an aircraft and a $40 million house from this scam already!

    VW chief defies sceptics with ambitious plans to overtake Tesla

    Nevertheless I admire someone who commits wholeheartedly and not sits cowering in their corner like so many others - waiting for the inevitable "sword of Damacles" to fall.

    If you could request three factory add-ons, what would they be?

    If they are T - slots they are going to be a bit of a mission to keep free from gunk, - also depending on what you regularly load. I tend to often carry sand and such like, so I would probably have to source some thick rubber matting similar to conveyor belt material, which I would chuck into...
