  1. Elon buys Twitter

    I took a class about this very idea in college called "Modern Algebra". In that class, we defined our own symbols and operators - and then explored how they work. If the new mathematical system you create is internally consistent, it's not quite as open-ended as it would seem. But there are...
  2. How to interpret this "cold call" email from Tesla?

    Given my history with local car dealers, these coldcall attempts aren't likely to go anywhere. Chevy Dealer: "We heard from GM's website that you'd like a Silverado EV?" Me: "Your internet salesperson told me in no uncertain terms to stop bothering y'all about getting a test drive in Chevy Bolt...
  3. Toyota heading to the moon, developing Lunar Cruiser

    I'd like to have one of those as a towable RV. Tow it to the trailhead, park the tow vehicle, and take the rover into the backcountry!
  4. Electric Snowmobiles

    The General Aviation aircraft industry is barely big enough to support fuel injection in their aircraft engines. Most small aircraft are running on 1960s engine designs -- which means carburated engines with 100 octanes leaded fuel. The engineering case for sharing EV technology between light...
  5. Mercedes Benz Vision EQXX EV

    I don't even care about volume-manufacturing at this point. I want a box full of solid-state cells to build a lightweight fire-resistant 25kWh battery pack for an "off-road application". I just care about engineering-quantities. I haven't found a datasheet for a solid-state battery cell yet...
  6. Trail Turn Assist Is The Bronco's Secret Weapon On Tight Trails

    I saw this feature on 4x4 review video recently: Apparently both Toyota and Great Wall offer this feature SUVs in Australia. Glad to see us Americans catching up, I guess. Catching up is better than remaining behind, anyway.
  7. Why the LIES Matter of GM CEO Mary "I LIED because IT Matters to my Golden Parachute" Barra claims GM is World leader of EVs

    The thread-title is spammy. I only clicked on this thread to remove it from the unread posts. If you have to ask someone to pass on a video in the headline, it's probably spam.
  8. Has anyone dropped an old truck/van body on an electric chassis?

    These guys are a premier electric conversion shop: https://www.evwest.com/ Their default method is to install EV components into a classic chassis, sometimes with Tesla drive units: https://www.youtube.com/c/EVWest They've done several VW Transporters. I bet they'd do a G20 van, too.
  9. Another down day for TSLA? Pre-market 943.00 -23.41(2.42%)

    I can't predict what TSLA's price does. ?‍♂️
  10. Elon Musk is TIME Person of the Year [CLOSED: VIOLATION OF NO-POLITICS RULE]

    I don't care. Musk is busy selling cars. And rockets. Biden is busy trying to trying to attract blue collar votes by courting the unions. They're each doing what they need to be doing. Our nation has much bigger problems which need to be solved much more urgently than this little spat...
  11. Elon Musk is TIME Person of the Year [CLOSED: VIOLATION OF NO-POLITICS RULE]

    By 2020 standards, a bad haircut makes one look socially responsible. It also eliminates a chore. As a busy balding guy, making bad haircuts socially acceptable saves me time and money! I should have switched to self-administered haircuts years ago!
  12. WSJ Live w/ Elon: Cybertruck will our best product ever; U.S. EV subsidies should be canned; & more....

    * Except to keep new competitors out of my market! That's one of GM's major weaknesses: protectionist trade policies. Because of trade barriers (including non-tariff barriers like our safety and emissions standards), GM can make vehicles for the American market that aren't competitive on the...
  13. Sandy Munro gives a presentation on who will survive in the auto world

    That all depends on how quickly the change occurs. If it occurs slowly over a decade or two, it could be possible for legacy automakers' factories to be bought and repurposed without destroying the economies built up around them. As far as economic shocks go, it doesn't matter who owns the...
  14. Tesla employees are reportedly organizing a union at Gigafactory Berlin

    And, yet, Germany is an economic powerhouse with one of the largest export-economies on earth. I humbly suggest that the real world is not following the predictions of your model.
  15. Toyota in hot pursuit of Tesla, unveiling EV with 500 km range

    I keep looking for engineering quantities of solid state battery cells on the open market, and haven't found any. If anyone can point me to a P/N or a datasheet, please do! I have stuff to build!
  16. Another EV transportation device, cute, classic

    As you know, but other enthusiasts might not, this thing is legally a motorcycle. As such, it's probably about as safe as a motorcycle. Looks like fun! Motorcycles are fun, despite the safety-tradeoff. That's the same way two people fit in a Cessna 150, and most small planes. It's not...
  17. EV sales have doubled. Is a ‘tidal wave’ coming?

    He is likely correct for the electrical grid where he is in Australia. He's a proper EE, and isn't just saying this. He said above that an O(350kW) will destabilize the grid he engineers. Though a full supercharger station is likely 3.5mW of intermittent demand. That amount of power isn't...
  18. Chipmakers to carmakers: Time to get out of the semiconductor Stone Age

    Part of my job involves getting PCBAs manufactured for a consumer electronics product. The same thing is happening at the PCBA level, as with whole products that use PCBAs (like cars). Sometimes a $0.50 microntroller costs $50/ea, which is the headline problem we hear about. But sometimes the...
