  1. The curse of 'white oil': electric vehicles' dirty secret

    Not was I. You said it would be a waste to replace an ICE Razor. It may be a waste of money, but the vehicle itself is not wasted. Many people fall into a the cognitive shortcut of assuming that a vehicle is scrapped after they're done with it, even though they know otherwise. I've certainly...

  2. The curse of 'white oil': electric vehicles' dirty secret

    That's only true if you scrap it. If you sell it on the used market, someone else will keep driving it until it's used up. The same is true for used cars, too.

  3. Lucid factory phase 1 complete

    What, you don't use urban cubical taxis in your part of Texas?

  4. Want to invest in electric cars? GM could be a better bet than Tesla

    The argument is obvious. Tesla is overvalued by any measurement more objective than "I believe they will change the world and make a lot of money doing it." GM and Ford are not overvalued to the same degree as Tesla, but they make electric cars too. They may even be undervalued. One could...

  5. Tesla now selling Tequila!

    I don't expect to see toilet paper shortages during the second wave. COVID-19 didn't cause the toilet paper shortages directly. The shift to work-from-home caused the toilet paper shortages. There were essentially two distinct toilet paper supply chains: one residential, one commercial...

  6. Tesla now selling Tequila!

    I'd prefer to sell Veblen goods, not buy them. I only see the point in gambling when I'm the house. I'm boring, and I like math

  7. EV haters in EV threads are now called "ICE Trolls"

    When I worked for a dot-com, management talked a lot about "change anger". My intuition is that "change anger" is at the root of a lot of the EV pushback. My usual response is that nobody is making them buy an EV -- if they like the vehicle they have, they can keep it. I'll just drive my...

  8. GMC Hummer EV

    Given where it's positioned pricewise and in terms of offroad features, it's competing with the Mercedes G-Wagon and with the Land Rover vehicles. The Cybertruck is likely to replace my GMC Sierra Hybrid, which is the premium/tech trim of a mass-market platform (GMT900). The GMT platform is...

  9. Who else is excited about Honda’s upcoming BIGGER FRONT GRILL? ?

    I've driven the 2nd generation Honda Ridgeline, and I loved it! The Ridgeline is the truck I was looking for when I got rid of my Ford Ranger in 2013. If the Ridgeline were a BEV, it would definitely have been worth $40k+. But, ICE vehicles just aren't worth that kind of money to me, even...

  10. Delphi Technologies secures its second-largest power electronics business deal

    Some readers of this forum may not know that you can make an educated guess about the AC VFDs at a glance. For instance, here's the GMT900's 2-mode hybrid inverter box: http://www.trucktrend.com/truck-reviews/163-0712-2008-chevrolet-tahoe-hybrid-2-mode#photo-04 You can see the double 3-phase...

  11. Delphi Technologies secures its second-largest power electronics business deal

    PWM's fast switching can also create radio frequency interference. PWM is the default motor control strategy, especially for battery powered machines -- unless you really need torque control. Hybrids and highwayworthy EVs really need torque control. But, AC variable frequency drives (VFDs)...

  12. Delphi Technologies secures its second-largest power electronics business deal

    DC motor speed can be controlled through pulse width modulation. It works well enough for a lot of EVs. With a variable frequency AC motor control, though, the electrical physics allows you to control both torque and speed with some degree of precision, even with an open loop control system...

  13. Costco Superchargers?

    My local supercharger is at a Meijer. There is a Sams Club nearby, and a Cosco is being built nearby as well. I think it just depends on which landlord will agree to have Tesla as a tenant.

  14. New BEV Truck - Hercules Alpha

    Best of luck to them. The more EVs, the merrier!

  15. TSLA DOWN PRE-MARKET -20.41

    My take is that Tesla is an inherently volatile stock, and that the battery day rumors are already priced into the stock. Remember that a very large number of Tesla investors read the same blogs we all do -- and so all of the leaks and whatnot have driven a lot of stock purchases. But it's...

  16. What apps would you like available in the Cybertruck?

    Waze with traffic/police alerts. NPR One. They already have Spotify. That is all for me, for now.

  17. Why Tesla’s Battery Day Will Actually Live Up to the Hype

    Maybe we'll see an updated prototype! With windshield wipers!

  18. VW ID.4 Towing Capacity Leaves Tesla Model Y For Dead

    It's on! No matter which company makes the better EV, I win! ...Because I'll just buy whichever vehicle is best.

  19. Tesla insiders hint at next-generation technology with newly reported “Palladium” project

    Ludicrous Speed and Plaid are both references to the movie Space Balls:

  20. Navistar will build electric trucks at new plant in Texas

    What did you use these trucks to do for you?
