    Tesla plans to buy Mercedes Benz

    Simply. Every one of those red circles? Yeah, Tesla would dilute its performative brand going into any one of those. Tesla reinvented what a pickup means when it tackled the F-150 market. Cybertruck was Teslas’ resounding answer. Without needing to reinvent luxury, economy, van, SUV and high...

    Tesla plans to buy Mercedes Benz

    As a Mercedes 220 SB owner, past tense, MB can’t be far behind. Progress can’t be stopped just change. MB chose the latter. It may not be enough against a juggernaut. Tesla automation and AI robotics doesn’t a Mercedes-Benz fit, Mercedes luxury make nor a Mercedes brand new owner. Tesla has...

    We have some definite challenges ahead.

    What do you think about running structural calcs on your dome home with a SEng. and heat calc with an ”inventive” HVAC designer. Baseline your engineering requirements on both. Ptex coils fastened atop the dome fed by a passive recirculation system will be more than enough BTU’s to heat the...

    Tesla plans to buy Mercedes Benz

    Interesting point. M-B not big enough, is a challenging assertion. IDK how big an impact Mercedes would have on Tesla’s economy of scale. Mercedes might be small potatoes(read lost cause). Mercedes could be too much effort for marginal return. IFTesla doesn’t save taxes, earn greater profit...

    Tesla plans to buy Mercedes Benz

    Precisely! Biggest return possibility simply making the biggest impact. Demand remains for the Mercedes brand seprately and for preferences that differ from Tesla buyers. Lame accrues to Tesla’s benefit. It discounts the transaction up front. Tesla could kick “lame” out of M-B which occurred...

    Trailer towing Rivian test, range and regen resulting in Rockies

    Right? Regen was not in-use a looong time but the best time ~7% grade in that section. I’d have liked to see the electronic Regen driving back to Denver - that’s time enough to judge the mechanism fairly. Summit Park turn around back down Lamb’s to Parley’s Canyon what would you expect Tesla...

    Trailer towing Rivian test, range and regen resulting in Rockies

    See: actual results in found footage online Even though this isn’t Cybertruck, it is a Quad motor pickup pulling a heavy trailer in steep mountains. I can verify this stretch is steep and overruns an ICE truck’s engine braking so its necessarily a braking test for Regen in the real world...
