Everyone is taking this seriously? Fisker has two quarters worth of capital left, why would ANY dealership put in the money and effort to start selling cars of a company on the brink? By the time you sign the paperwork and get your cars from Fisker they are days from bankruptcy.

Yes, like Musk said, other vehicles getting into an argument with the Cybertruck will lose. And yeah, probably they will be more damaged than if they argued with other weaker cars or trucks. 

But, keys are softer than the Cybertruck and will not hurt it, and hail also is no problem, even two inch hail. A Cybertruck might not survive being picked up and dropped by a tornado, but not much other weather is hurting one. 

You don't get it. Three millimeters thick cold rolled stainless steel laughs at press tools and hammers...

They already drove stock Cybertrucks on the Baja race course, no problem. Seventeen inches of ground clearance and active air suspension and great traction control and power and turning does real well off road. It can go where very few trucks dare to try, and most that do are highly modified first. And then it can…

There is video of Munro hitting a Gigacasting with a sledge hammer and barely marking it, and to get to the Gigacasting you have to go through the exterior panels that you can also hit with a sledge hammer and not mark, and then through the easily replaceable crush cans if it is a front or rear impact. So it something…

It will be a long wait for a totalled Cybertruck. The super strong body panels and the structural battery pack and the Gigacastings and even the gorilla glass are all working to protect the body frame around the passenger space. Totalling a Cybertruck would require bending that central frame or damaging the pack or a…

You could have a point if hybrids were not so inferior to purpose built EVs, but they are, so buyers do not want to make a major purchase and super regret it and will buy the EVs instead. That is what has happened in Norway where hybrids dropped from 30% to 10% of car sales the last few years. 

Lol! Yeah, all Tesla gave us was the first real implementable plan to end fossil fuels use worldwide ever offered, unless one thinks “end Capitalism” would work. Tesla also showed huge progress on Optimus, and on 4680 battery cell ramp, a path to make a great $25,000 Tesla way better than anything other companies can…

For Musk buying Twitter to affect automotive journalism, there would have to be automotive journalists. But you and almost everyone else pretending to be automotive journalists are just fiction writers, and there is a big difference between being a fiction writer and being a journalist. We know who pays the bills…

Okay, haha, but reality is that startups don’t get in the door at tier one suppliers or tier two either and the suppliers that are lower tiers it is because they suck more usually. Tesla’s original business plan called for them to outsource almost everything and have twenty five Tesla employees. They didn’t become…

I have been mentioning for a few years now that the Lucid factory location sucks, being in a town of 50,000 with almost everyone in Phoenix and Tucson having an hour commute each way if the traffic is good and there are no accidents. With an accident you can easily find yourself with no way off of I-10 so you just…

Fisker made lots of promises about a much more affordable second model with his last company too, including to the government to get a loan. That loan was ended when the government figured out the second model was a lie, and Fisker then failed to tell investors about that when doing his next round of fundraising. The…

Also, super amazing how effective Tesla “marketing” is when they literally don't have a marketing department and spend not a penny on advertising. 

Yeah, IF Volvo and friends can achieve what they say “at some point” then in some limited geofenced areas their system will be better than what Tesla has, IF Tesla makes no more progress of their own in the meantime, the odds of which are zero. If Volvo succeeds "at some point" after 2022 and Tesla succeeds "most…

Lol. Yeah, several orders of magnitude more data, best chips, best supercomputer, showed during Autonomous Day that they were applying in well advanced ways ideas that academics in the field had just published rudimentary lab level “cutting edge” papers on. But Tesla is “behind” on autonomous?

So they are ahead because they claim their FSD will be better than what Tesla has now “at some point” after 2022? Tesla also claims that, maybe even during 2022. And it is dubious if it would be better at that some point. It will be geofenced, while the Tesla system goes everywhere. You Jalopnik writers are getting…

Hilarious. Reading an article by an actual journalist, who writes for the DailyMail in the UK, we learn that: “The engineers consider the HTS technology more suitable for the futuristic ‘vacuum transportation’, which could see ultra-high-speed maglev trains zipping in vacuum tubes in speeds over 1,000 kilometres (621…

I suspect the author of the article just banged it out after maybe five minutes of “research” and is just spewing garbage. I would not blame translators. We will have to wait for an article from a serious source to know the details here. 

Pretty sad little article here, like the author failed to do their research and figured they could just write whatever they believed might be true. “Magnetic levitation trains are infinitely cooler, and significantly less expensive to produce as they don’t have to ride inside a vacuum tube.” Really? What are the costs…
