    Alpha Wolf Truck and other Models

    And here is a video from someone who actually got a written response from Alpha motors. Would be cool if someone could get pictures of the truck in the Petersen. But the way things are going, I doubt there will be any production even on the 2023 timeline. If they are going to make that...

    Alpha Wolf Truck and other Models

    Alpha Wolf Debut. Stated estimate for availability is late 2023. Interestingly, the Wolf is now available for viewing at the Petersen Automotive Museum through mid-November. Is the Petersen becoming the new must-stop location for EV's?

    Electric Conversions ?

    I actually have a classic pickup (1950 Ford F-1) wasting away in my backyard. It was my grandfather's and when I was a kid I used to sit in it and dream of driving it one day as my own cool pickup. Unfortunately, it seems like it would take about 100K to get really fixed up. Plus after seeing...

    Aptera - the solar car - opens reservations

    Yeah. It's been a long time since I traveled the chunnel. Back in the day though there were multiple options already. Chunnel train, passenger ferry, vehicle ferry, large hovercraft, commercial airplane, personal airplane, solar airplane, pedal-powered airplane, swimming. Seems like the channel...

    Aptera - the solar car - opens reservations

    LOL. Yes. That's an interesting example. And they added airfoil to the technology! Talk about checking the fringe tech boxes. The company is Boston-based but it seems like their proposed use is across the English Channel. To compete with the chunnel I guess.

    Aptera - the solar car - opens reservations

    I wish we had this kind of "ferry" in Puget Sound. It would be a great way to get between Seattle and Victoria BC. About 1/3rd the time of a normal ferry. Would be even better if it was battery-powered. Especially if the charge could be upped during passenger turn around or if batteries could...

    Offroad Suzuki Carry

    Just wait till all those Jeep owners end up getting pulled out of sticky situations by the CTs that came along for a little adventure. I'm curious how they will take it.

    Offroad Suzuki Carry

    LOL. This won't compete with the Cybertruck. But if it had a fully electric drive train, it would be a wonderful companion vehicle. Just use it as a support vehicle around the farm. Quick trips into town. Or some of the easier offroad trails in the area. I like how they covered it in bed liner...

    Ford patents mobile charging solution for EVs like the Mach-E — by towing them

    Not sure who the "they" is in your last sentence. I do want a trailer with a large battery with a possible range extension for the CT plus regenerative braking in sync with my CT. Possibly just a small trailer almost like towing a generator for business. But especially if towing a large...

    New Shepard vs Falcon 9

    Plus invent whole new techniques of processing. Most smelting requires oxygen in the atmosphere in order to burn fuel to heat things up. And if it’s done in 0g, how do we get the heat to “rise” from the flames to the materials being smelted… Basically all industrial processes will have similar...

    New Shepard vs Falcon 9

    so this is interesting… Starting at 0:28 Yes… SpaceX already got there but we do need options so go for it. At 0:58 I heard a comment on this today in an interview by Chris Hayes with Naomi Klein of the University of British Columbia:

    Ford patents mobile charging solution for EVs like the Mach-E — by towing them

    I know there were a number of people wanting this exact feature on the CT. Here is a patent on it for the Mach-E. Looking at the illustrations, I have to wonder if this is really a good idea. Looks like you could get a charge plus a cracked windshield from rocks thrown up by the truck tires...

    Ford patents mobile charging solution for EVs like the Mach-E — by towing them

    Ford patents mobile charging solution for EVs like the Mach-E — by towing them Electric vehicles are prevalent now, but long-distance travel using EVs that are non-Teslas still tends to be challenging. This was, at least, the conclusion drawn by motoring publication Car and Driver following its...

    New Shepard vs Falcon 9

    Regarding the lunar lander, yes Blue Origin lost. And then protested. Wanted in on the project despite having no real plan and costing way more. Amazon caused a similar stink in a huge government contract for cloud computing. Microsoft won the contract. Amazon protested. Lost the protest...

    New Shepard vs Falcon 9

    I would have said that you are ascribing intent with your statement But Bezos himself today said something that rankled many. In an interview just after landing he said I can certainly see why people reacted to this. And I think this thinking basically backs up your idea. This approach is...

    New Shepard vs Falcon 9

    I do appreciate that a billionaire gets to take all the joy rides he wants. I just find it interesting that so far the current development level at Blue Origin seems very far behind what is happening at SpaceX. Not for nothing, but Blue Origin seems to be even further behind SpaceX than the...
