yh kinda but i mean i like that kind of future look. for $50k with dual motors AWD i mean if it will cost that much when released, its like low price for what it could do. Rivian RT1 never had this low price tag. but its interesting no paint same steel as they will use for starship so same metal there and on truck, it must be very practical. what if that could be some kind of camper , imagine that in the forest. its like you would live in the future allready

It's an aerodynamic nightmare. Smoothing off the edges will help but the edges are too sharp. I understand that it has to be radical to separate it from the ICE ones. I can feel the 80's vibe here very much.

If it's a truck and it can haul, it's most probably a step in the right direction. The whole Tesla project, for me, is a step in the right direction. I am a fan of the cause. I think it actually started the electric re-revolution. The Roadster kicked the bottom of many, many manufacturers, forcing them to look into making electric cars. The Nissan Leaf is one of the products of the electricification of the vehicle fleet.

When the company was struggling in the early 2010's some people donated to its electric cause so that the Model S gets into production. Some people were already laughing at the company for being too ambitious. I could feel the plea so I helped. Just before the release of the Model 3, I was given a huge discount on 2 of the models. I thanked them and told them that I am a fan but, of course, I don't think I will buy bleeding edge technology as I am more for reliability. I didn't tell them that.

Regarding reliability and fit-and-finish, Tesla had a public display in some of the malls here in Auckland and, since I am spoiled by Japanese fit-and-finish, one could easily see the flaws that will be an issue soon. There were holes in the joining or panels, which don't appear in many modern cars of today.

I thought that maybe they are just present in the display but would they build something that they may not be able to sell? Then, when other models or colours came in for display, some had more holes and some had less. Some Model Ss are already decommissioned due to broken electronics. YT is full of it but I am not sure how long they will stay there before they get taken down. It's sad actually but I understand that Japanese automotive principles are totally different from American. I hope they pull off the build quality part because it's not fun to see another revolution starter disappear just like that but such is not uncommon.
 
that cyberATV looked cool as well , with his famous quote : one more thing
tesla_atv_3550.jpg


he said at first this will be as option to cybertruck, its 2 seater and charging from cybertruck

and i mean if this is safe on roads then why there is problem with metal bumpers out there ? lol those sharp angles would hit you so hard i mean ouch ... you dead
dims

guess it will change some it the end to meet lots of regulations to be legal on road .

And bloody expensive to change over the batteries, like $33,385.00AUD for a first gen Nissan Leaf bought in 2012.

Picture of Quote

Story: Battery Replacement $33,385.00AUD

The replacement is definitely expensive and it's a mainstream car.

Here, we have Leaves (I guess we should call them that) all around and everywhere due to boatloads of import from Japan. They are so in-demand that even Subaru specialist repair centres that also sell cars sell Leaves. Some of them get parted out to feed the maintenance of the ones that are currently on the road. A Gen 1 2nd had battery pack with 70% SoH is about NZD 6,500 plus shipping! I wouldn't go with a Gen 1, at all. They are not liquid cooled and would die quickly after sharp temperature fluctuations. The battery design is much more sophisticated than the ones used in Tesla, though. It shows the experience of Nissan being a proper car manufacturer rather than just a startup. Some Tesla vehicles even use fans in front of the engine to aid in the cooling of the battery pack.

The battery from the Nissan factory is definitely a different story. The only advantage one can get is that the new battery pack will have the newest technology that the company offers, aiding in future proofing of their vehicles, as promised, but NZD 30,000 to 40,000 for a new one?

Lithium is an extremely rare commodity. People just don't realise that. We only have just a handful of countries that mine them and some of them are in the middle of a political unrest.

And an environmental nightmare to produce. Extracting gold is probably closer to permaculture than it is to extracting lithium, environmentally speaking.

(This is my opinion, but I know extracting gold can be pretty toxic and getting lithium is much worse with all sorts of different acids being used.)
 
I have friends who are about to replace their aging off-grid solar and battery bank setup. They were considering lithium batteries but changed their mind because while the initial purchase is expensive, they were told it costs just as much to dispose of them when they're done.
 
So looks like they can be some colors at least black edition looks much better. They should shown this one on presentation maybe with tinted black glass too all arround

i think they chose that one to show what material they using and in dark place black car would be hard to see all details . yh black looks much better

and windows where holding that ball before launch , so that bashing door with hammer made windows softer or something happened with them on that moment . so windows are strong
 
Ah...it looks like something from an 80's sci-fi movie.
I immediately remembered Total Recall after seeing this truck.

They had to show that to prove it because the demo one broke. It means it's still glass and it's their fault if they used the same truck in the video.

Shatterproof glasses are not new. Some manufacturers just put more plastic elements inside to prevent shattering.
 
He said its like metal glass i thought it would called like plasticy or rubbery glass but they called it metal something glass.
