    What Do GM's Plans for an All-electric Future Mean to Pickup Truck Users?

    In an aside I have to say that I find it interesting that after all these years of the major players supposedly buying up and suppressing all the various single person technology developments that are supposed to bring about 100mpg cars, none of those developments have been rolled out to save...

    30 Day Plates

    Does anyone know if Texas has 30 day license plates? I’m originally from Nebraska and they have a 30 day plate you can get for moving a vehicle that is not currently licensed. I used it once when I had a car after college that I had put in storage in my grandparents shed for a couple years. The...

    Minnesota startup sees a growing niche market for electric work trucks

    Glad to see someone addressing that market. Are they putting the batteries up front where the engine would traditionally go? Or possibly under the cab? Looks like the back half is just a straight ladder frame with no batteries. Probably that way for maximum customization potential without...

    Car groups throw spanner in works of EU’s hydrogen drive

    Seems like the oil companies would love for us to switch to Hydrogen based on natural gas. Then they get to keep their business model while making everyone think they are now clean. Yet another reason why Hydrogen is not a good solution for cars. Sure there are some drawbacks to BEVs like the...

    Car groups throw spanner in works of EU’s hydrogen drive

    Perhaps it’s out of hydrogen after the initial test drive. Can’t get back to Marin to fill up.

    Car groups throw spanner in works of EU’s hydrogen drive

    Note the foreshadowing here. I fear their worst-case scenario is exactly what will actually happen.

    Bloomberg CityLab: What Happened to Pickup Trucks?

    I get the feeling they are saying that the Cybertruck is even more extreme than the huge ICE trucks described in most of the article. But I take exception to that. Sure the Cybertruck looks different and has better self-protection. But with FSD etc, it should be much safer than the normal old...

    Bloomberg CityLab: What Happened to Pickup Trucks?

    What Happened to Pickup Trucks? As U.S. drivers buy more full-size and heavy-duty pickups, these vehicles have transformed from no-frills workhorses into angry giants. And pedestrians are paying the price. Angie Schmitt March 11, 2021, 10:54 AM PST To get a handle on what’s happened to pickup...

    Study: Tesla's Range, Performance, Styling Attract Buyers, Musk Detracts

    I'm no expert on the mind of Elon. But what I saw happening on battery day was that Elon was giving his top crew opportunities to grow and get more experience. There were a few of them that spoke up on their own. There were a few that he called on specifically. But many of the questions were...

    GMC shows off Hummer EV “CrabWalk” feature in real-world conditions

    OK, that GMC video is just a waste. Sure it shows what crab walk is. But it does nothing to show how helpful it could be. A wide-open field of snow... What possible benefit does crab walk provide there? Now the Prelude video is much better. It goes into detail about the benefits of 4 wheel...

    Is Tesla battery cost $149 kWh at the cell level?

    So there is a point that people are not taking into consideration. Batteries produced by Tesla would be priced at production cost but batteries from LGChem, Panasonic, etc would be priced at contracted wholesale cost which includes margins for those companies. Tesla uses third party companies...

    Autonomous Electric Trucks Could Disrupt Rail and Transform Logistics

    Hmmmm.... You only used 2 capital letters. That seems low for someone who has a stated preference for capitalization. I’m not sure how socialism works as an alternative though. Maybe all those lower case letters in a large group are expecting shared consideration on par with the capital letters?

    What I will be getting to mount to my CT

    Have to say, I liked the robomule aspect quite a bit. Especially cool to have a powered trailer for hauling. One could theoretically get way out in the wilderness by CT and then use the EZRaider and trailer to haul camping gear etc way out past the end of the forest service road. As for the...

    The Greek Island Where Renewable Energy and Hybrid Cars Rule

    In the aftermath of the last big hurricane that slammed through Puerto Rico Elon made an offer to rebuild the electric infrastructure based on distributed battery storage and solar power. But the government did not take him up on that. Later it turned out that there was a bunch of embezzlement...
