RE: Tesla Semi truck unveil & test ride set for Oct 26th !
BenK if you look at the head on angle you will see when the car passes the truck driver you will see smoke come off of the tires. It was on AP for sure.
The cameras didn't see the white background on the truck top. Junk software. No lidar will kill you.

RE: Tesla Semi truck unveil & test ride set for Oct 26th !
Hell, I'm just wondering where the Semi is?Need to check in more often. Has been delayed for CyberTruck.
Not at all surprising right? How in Nikola One coming along?
I am not sure which will be first to market...
Nikola expects to sell and deliver 12,000 class-8 trucks by 2024
Sorry Time. I've lost count on the number of delays that Tesla has had. So is it going to be delayed forever? Well not forever but past my lifetime?
I can say I have a flying car. And be just like Tusk and say "it's not quite done yet............it's not quite done yet..........it's not quite done yet................."
I do remember I ask 2 years ago when the first Semi was going to roll and you said at the end of last year. If you want I can find it and quote it?
You keep on moving the goal post just like this guy does. Look at the date of this article. "It's not quite done yet............."

RE: Tesla Semi truck unveil & test ride set for Oct 26th !
Hell, I'm just wondering where the Semi is?
I was promised on here by some fan bois that the Semi was going to be in the customers hands by last year. By last year!
Not only is it not in the customers hands there is no factory to build it in.
There isn't even a test prototype out.
What about the 3 row Y? Remember when Elon said the Y will be able to hold 3 rows of adults? I do!
What about all the ventilators Elon was going to supply? Where are those?
And what happen to the transporter shortage? Remember when Elon bought all of those transporters? I do! Where are they?
And what happened to the "1 million robotaxies by the end of 2020?" Come on Tusk. You said all the cars have the hardware. You just need to upload the software to make it happen. Well? Make it happen!
I can't wait for Tesla FSD cars!

RE: Tow Vehicle question
You want to look at the HP difference. I believe the 2018 has a handful of more HP. A few more gears will keep it in the torque band a little better also.
The newer truck will pull marginally better than your old one IMHO. Not night and day; just marginally if I'm correct about the HP.

RE: 2012 Ram diesel with over 1million miles
All of you that change your oil and fuel filters at 3,5 or 7 thousand miles need to take note of when he changes his oil.
Those of you that change your fuel filter every 10K need to take note of how long he lets his ride.
I said this many times on this forum and others. The longer you let a fuel filter, filter, the better it filters.
Take note people.

RE: Will Your Next Tow Vehicle be Electric?
The truth and reality of tow with an electric vehicle
If towing a tiny, tiny trailer is your bag this might be your bag if time means nothing to you and you can spend hours and hours filling up your "tank."The truth is a typical truck carries an equivalent of 750+ kWh of electricity. Largest battery available is about 100 kWh at this point. Soon some may go to 300 kWh but you are still short compared to the existing gas/diesel trucks. Going to be a lot of compromises to go EV for towing until the batteries are improved.
A Tesla with a 100 KWH battery is close to $150,000. By far the largest single expense to building an battery electric anything is the battery.
Now you need to put a battery that is 3 times larger to get only half the range and then some. That battery cost will drive the price to the moon and then some.
There is more problems. You put a big battery in a truck now you're going to triple the charging cost and length of time to charge.
And let me nip this in the bud right now before anybody comes back with some BS like well, well, well, batteries are getting better all the time. No, not really.
LI batteries pretty much suck for big power density. That's why I have to plug my phone in every night. And as far as the ultra fast quick charge, nope. There is a reason it takes the time is does to fill a battery up. The more you lean on a battery the more you will shorten it's life. That's why Tesla does not recommend to super charge all of the time. It's like running nitro in a ICE.
Look what happened in the TFLC video.
If you want to be an outlier and you want to have a very small tent trailer and tow it 125 miles before you have to charge for almost an hour to get to tow another 125 miles before you have to charge again; knock yourself out.
Most trailers in the USA are about the size of mine. Mine is 30' long and weighs about 11 to 12K loaded to go. From what I have read I'm about average and drive around 300 miles a day towing my 11K LB trailer. I can tow 300 miles with one tank of fuel before I have to take on more fuel.
Bottom line is if you tow with an electric vehicle it will cost you a ton of money and time. Most people have neither. Or I should say they don't want to give up either let alone both!

RE: Used diesel, anyway to tell if it's been chipped?
Long story short; No.
In general, modders like to mod other things like lift kits and big tires and rims ect. I would stay away from a truck that has those things.

RE: Tesla Semi truck unveil & test ride set for Oct 26th !
Here are some of the quotes the stoned CEO car maker made:
n response, Musk announced on Twitter that Tesla is filing a lawsuit against the county:
“Tesla is filing a lawsuit against Alameda County immediately. The unelected & ignorant “Interim Health Officer” of Alameda is acting contrary to the Governor, the President, our Constitutional freedoms & just plain common sense!”
The CEO went even further and announced that Tesla will be moving its headquarters and “future programs” to Texas and Nevada:
“Frankly, this is the final straw. Tesla will now move its HQ and future programs to Texas/Nevada immediately.”
Musk even suggested that Tesla might not even keep Fremont factory, where it employs about 10,000 people, depending on “how it gets treated in the future”:
“If we even retain Fremont manufacturing activity at all, it will be dependen on how Tesla is treated in the future. Tesla is the last carmaker left in CA.”
The circus got run out of town. Time to find a new area to rake over and tax payers to fleece.

RE: Travel When Restrictions lifted
Well there is your problem.
To know the real number you have to take the number of people in the US and divided that number of people that died. That will give you the real number in % chance of dying in the US at this time. That number is now "at this time" is "about" .000243% of a chance of dying if you live in the US.
Now that is taking the US as a whole mean average. If you live in NYC your chances are higher than if you live in lets say Blue Eye Mo. And visa versa.

RE: Tesla Semi truck unveil & test ride set for Oct 26th !
I could not find anything specifically on another SEC investigation, but I can't imagine they would let this go.
I don't know. They let him get away the the 1 million robotaxies this year tweet.
BTW, anybody know when the start of the 1 million robotaxies is going to start? After all, Tusk said all the cars are equipped with all the stuff it needs for FSD. Click on that software Tusk! :B
Hey Turtle... Looks like you finally ran your boy off. Looks like Texas or Nevada will be the new corporate location. :B

Poor Tusk. :( Poor, poor Tusk. This is what a billionaire looks like throwing a tantrum when he does not get his way. :B
I wonder what happened to the Semi that was supposed to roll last year? Or the FSD Tesla that was going to roll 2 years ago? Or the 6 seat Y?
ROTFLMAO at all the fan boi's.

Your percentage is a little off.
At the present time the survival rate in the US is 94%
With 6 people dead out of every 100 people infected, I wouldn't call that non existent.
