LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT GRILLE. MY MICROPENIS IS SHAKING WITH EXCITEMENT.

If Tesla gets sued and is forced to provide a 3rd party API for affordable aftermarket scan tools & manuals and if parts are available I’ll order up a Cybertruck in a couple of years (after they work out the kinks).

Just a reminder that weight is one of the most critical off road features in your off road machine. Give up with off-roading with machines like this. Buy a street oriented electric and enjoy it. Get yourself a nice light/middle weight dual sport bike for off road, a quad or a buggy for off road.

What a JOKE. That range is sad and pathetic. No self respecting trades person is going to limit himself to working within that close of a range and delivery vans drive hundreds of kilometers per day.

These fob cars are being stolen using a radio repeater device like a HackRF or similar and a second software defined radio. Basically a modern antenna is really really good and can pick up you fob from ‘over a hundred feet away’. It then sends the signal to your car saying that your stupid keyless fob is in the car.…

Ahhhh, the hundred wire automatic stripper.

As a trades person who “actually works out of his vehicle”, modern trucks are useless pieces of sh*t. They are too tall to hop up and get in and out of and there is far too much room given to that giant cock extension of a hood. We need the van market to follow the truck market during the electric transition. Make a…

Master mechanic and electrical guru here. Those things don’t have full electrical conductivity. If you try and put a lot of power through that wire it will heat up and fall apart. You won’t catch me ever using those. If you want to do the god splice in a wet environment use a non insulated butt connector and shrink…

12:30 Pm on a friday afternoon. Go during the flood of traffic not at 12:30 when they are bored and looking for something to do. 

Smuggling something tiny? A motorcycle. Bikes are a stop and go penalty at the border when you have a nexus card.

Vancouver BC here. I used to commute 11 months out of the year on a litre sportbike. Got caught in the snow one day and had to take a taxi home. No, I wasn’t THAT stupid.

I love that GM is chasing Tesla.

Having the computer control a rotary is ‘the way’. No idling to carbon up seals. A motor that runs at a steady state (same rpm same load) actually runs really clean and efficient. Since it is connected to a 3 phase generator the generator can not only act as the starter but also run a no fuel ‘cleaning cycle’ at high…

I installed a charging plug for a volt owner and he said he only filled up around 4x per year.

Call up any auto parts and ask for any part for x year of Exploder and they will always give you ford explorer parts.  For some reason.

If you had a Zero to play with, it would be a different story. Double the range, half the price.

Industrial Contractor here. That van is a FAIL and Ford needs to get their head out of their ass for the upcoming model year. I guarantee you the horsepower is so low because that embarrassment of a battery is too small to deliver high enough amps.

Great on road, a tenere 700 will embarrass the hell out of you off road. Bigger and heavier does not a good dual sport bike make.

If you can prove you can build a reliable electric drivetrain capable of hauling around an efficient brick the size of a bus... that may convince the motoring public that their normal vehicle electric drivetrain can survive just fine.

This is sharing the platform with the regular pickup truck AND the new chevy van if the rumors are correct. Less bells and whistles on the van/truck however. But if I can buy a chevy van with this drivetrain, HELL YES.
