I dunno- if I was a Nikola investor, I’d be happy to see this.
It looks to me like as soon as Milton was out the door, they stopped fighting to keep all his expensive side pet projects going and have been happy to just refocus on their core business of HFCs and semis.
It seems their priorities are focusing in and…

Weird that you used a Ford Escape for the headline picture!

I remember being excited about these next gen consoles back when it looked like we’d finally have consoles that could out-perform an equivalently priced PC.

...then NVIDIA happened.

440 million pound-seconds of impulse is quite a lot. I wonder if these tests do measurably change the earths rotation the tiniest bit.

Some day this kids gonna be a BMX superstar and talk about this guy in an interview about how he got his start.

My Ex in the chest freezer... uh I mean- poorly organized nuts and bolts?

Why do I feel like I just watched a political ad?

...Is Trump Perseus?

Nah, looks like probably a latest gen smartphone filming in 4K.
What makes the biggest difference is that it was uploaded properly with very little compression.

I’ve done it, but it’s always in the back of my mind as a possibility so the correction is lightning quick. I’ve never gone more than a couple feet as such and I’ve certainly never hit anything.

My thought too. Guns didn’t even get drawn here...

If that’s the case, it happened early on in the process. Developing all new platforms is not easy, its not cheap, and it most of all is not fast.

Watch Elon pay millions to get them to use a Cybertruck.

Yeah I’m with you- the whole damn point of leasing IMHO is to stay relatively up-to-date on tech and performance and get a chance to drive something new and interesting.
To be fair, you can go too far the other direction and be like my dad, who has owned now 36 consecutive years of White Honda Accord... across only two…

“Chevrolet Telorvehc” sounds like some fancy new engine technology.
TELORVEHC - Timed Electric LOw-Range Variably Extended High Compression

True! When I wrote my comment I was thinking specifically about releases next year, and somehow keep thinking the Hummer is 2022. It is definitely interesting that all the high-hp trucks are EVs, though- until now.

And I’ll eat my fucking shorts if Musky manages to get Cybertrucks out the door before 2022, but even so-…

Its interesting that there was previously only one option for a pickup with >700 HP slated for mass-market sale, the R1T, and its at basically the exact same price point.

This owner, with this POS as his mount, is the 36th horseman of the 2020 apocalypse.

I’m an engineer who’s always had a thing for both automotive engineering and defense technology (grant it, largely aerospace, not nautical)...

And some-fucking-how it took until THIS ARTICLE for my brain to realize “hey, diesel engines require oxygen for combustion, where the hell do diesel subs get it from while…

I mean, I think the 40k Commuter is on the right track for the wrong reasons.
40,000 miles a year is ~110 miles a day. Autopilot will be a godsend, you’ve clearly got other cars as backups for long trips or if you get unlucky and end up in a Tesla service queue, and you’ll save a shitton on gas as mentioned.
But I…

It seems expensive, but it wildly undercuts most mobile/action cinematography lighting. I think the big market here will be major studios who are already in the GoPro ecosystem and are looking for more compact and rugged ways to light their subjects on the go- think night filming for The Grand Tour or documentary…
