And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Tesla tweeted early Saturday morning that the first Cybertruck rolled off the production line at Gigafactory Texas. Four years ago, Elon Musk unveiled the all-electric stainless steel pickup that has encountered a series of production delays.
Given Tesla's build quality issues, I'd wait a year or two. Did see a couple weird looking Rivian trucks on the drive today.
Turn your 401k onto MULN... shipping trucks to UNC Charlotte for months. Commercial vehicles and consumer cars. Solid state dry battery tech nobody can touch.
No thanks to any kind of electric vehicle. Useless in the winter, hot in the summer and impossible to recharge in the middle of nowhere when the batteries run dead.
Several Tesla owners in my town have told me they can't make a weekend trip to the nearest major metro b/c there are no fast chargers between here and there.
Mullen EV and batteries, don't know enough about them I've read that their EV is actually made in China and their 'Solid State Battery' (polymer) is an improvement in range but nothing I've read answers any questions. What the recharge cycle, performance in high and low temperatures, lifespan ie how many recharge cycles before it degrades. How durable, can you knock it around or is it a time bomb like the lithium batteries. What will the replacement battery costs look like?
Who is going to want one in the northern states for actual "work"? Not going to do real work in the middle of January with it. Gonna drive through the pasture in 2 ft of snow with a big round bale in the back for traction?
Whuts that weird hand signal they're doing? Is that two dicks touching each other?

ReplyDeleteI've seen a couple of the Rivians on the interstate, they have goofy headlights.
ReplyDeleteStill not buying one.

ReplyDeleteThey turned out to be junk.
ReplyDeleteNo surprise to those of us who knew.
