Number 2. Reason is scarcity. Electricity is common.
Plus, a supercharger next door has surprisingly little utility. Unless you live in a commercial space. And then, the value lays only with the captive audience, not the joules.
Great conversation!
I'm a hydrogen freak, with a hydrogen fetish. It's 100% part of our sustainable energy future, no question. The new 'metallic sponge' storage technologies are absolute game changers, which the gen pop has yet to wrap their heads around.
The wonderful thing about H is it...
I was checking out the Mattracks a few weeks ago...
Seemed like it'd be fun to set up a FSD chairlift...
Kinda like these guys...Pacific Crest Snowcats - The Best Kept Secret in Tahoe ...
Then I saw the price... $10k per corner! yikes!
Seems like a lot of the gateways are in random out of the way areas, maybe security? Keep in mind, those yellow dots will be almost as important to early users as the satellites themselves. You need to be inside a circle that is also occupied by a yellow dot to get service (for now). In Big Sur...
I dunno, I'm no expert, but I would guess any large cylinder under the truck is an air tank for the mac daddy air-suspension coming on the CT. I think Sandy Munroe mentioned it during the Y teardown video, referring to it as a can, and pointing to where it would likely be on the CT.
I got it, just wanted to make sure near the poles still meant near the poles. We aren't even in the arctic circle yet. The first truly polar batch recently launched and are currently maneuvering into position, they are equipped with the fancy lazeerbeams. Eventually the whole earth will be...
I'm worried about shear force transfer during a crash. If it's made structural, the battery casing will be subject to massive forces, and will need to be designed to break away before breaking open.
Q Branch already invented those tires... I think they're in 'The Living Daylights"
I had a set of 255 Blizzaks on my V8 Audi, that thing ran doughnuts around my 2dr. Tahoe w/35 12.50 mudders. Winter specific tires are unbeatable in the snow.
When I was in Roveniemi I caught a vintage rally...
I guess I fell into the beta hole, never heard anything from them. Randomly went on to check their site, and found it accepting orders. I believe it just went live today. My interpretation is this marks the end of beta. (?)
Cybertruck takeaways...
Number one...Avoid the ramp!
Skip paint, source of fit/finish issues
Expect amazing seats
FSD is mind blowing
FSD primary objective don't crash/don't get tricked
Single piece casting...eventually(maybe)
Shear transfer, cell becomes structural
Polar moment of inertia, big...
