This so deserves a FAILURE emoji as there is NO camper. Musk had a one and done custom built unit to show off, but there is no company building or even offering to build yet a camper, trailer, etc. for the Cybertruck. There is a company that has exclusive rights to sell you a limited space bed tent. There website and name is a deceptive name as it is NOT a CAMPER. Homepage - Space Campers

I hope they prosecute that You Tuber for her stupidity. She deserves to have to pay big time for that stunt.

Chevrolet News:The New Chevrolet Colorado gets a New Bison ZR2
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Chevrolet
Not bad looking, I have to assume the interior will be the same as the current trucks which would be a shame as they could have taken it next level. At least they have given a decent suspension system. -

How do you explain that the Pryamid angle of the truck and especially the bed means there is NOTHING out there from a bed camper to a 5th wheel that can work with this truck as it is NOT standard in anyway. On top of this, basic uses of a truck require a flat bed area which this does not have. Then you also have the same problem as the Rivian, a Unibody bed which means unlike the Ford, you cannot just simply replace the bed when it has damage. Cybertruck will have the same extreme costs to repair as Rivian. Damage can be small, but repair of this Unibody truck will be expensive.

A few statements from both Tesla and Tesla Fan sites. These Cybertruck buyers have never owned a pickup truck. The bulk are new to the pickup truck market. Those that had Cybertruck reservations have become Ford or Rivian Pickup buyers as they got there first. Course we the public have no real knowledge of how many refunds have been made to date against the Cybertruck nor how many actual reservations Tesla has. Tesla on their investment day and battery day have clearly stated that they will start with top end fully equipped Cybertruck orders first, so 6 figure trucks that are no different than a GMC Hummer Pickup or the F150 Lighting Launch edition or what is know as the Launch Edition for the Chevrolet Silverado or GMC Sierra Launch Edition. All 6 figure trucks. GM and Ford like Rivian will get to 5 figure trucks far faster than Tesla which has proven they truly have NO INTEREST in building cheap EVs. I doubt you will see a Cybertruck below 70-80 thousand dollars before 2026 when GM and Ford as well as Ram will be shipping their commercial EV editions. On top of this, the Cybertruck will be a FAILURE as it is not a Real Truck but a Unibody Honda Ridgeline competitor that will not be able to haul the bulk of todays 5th wheels and other trailers as it was never designed or intended to support the real truck market. Yes Tesla Fans will buy it, but the bulk of the truck market will not buy Tesla.

This study has some valid thoughts, but is wrong saying it applies to the whole nation. Being a California influenced study, yes in southern states it makes sense to probably recharge during the day. PNW it does not as hydro and wind is the big power source and here power consumption during the day is higher than at night. https://www.thebrighterside.news/post/stanford-study-warns-against-overnight-charging-of-electric-cars-at-home

Very good read for those interested in batterybtech. https://ts2.space/en/solid-state-battery-technology/ Damn, this is close for the Rivian pickup.

Bigger is better IMHO. I love my Galaxy 23 Ultra. I cannot think of having a phone without a stylus and big screen for my big hands. I get that for some the Pro Max is a bit too big, but both the Pro that my son has and the pro max that my daughter has they love it. All the best to you Robert with your new iPhone. Enjoy the realestate.

Is this the actual move into your new house Robert? Wishing you all the best for the holiday move if it is.

Cadillac News: Cadillac Confirms Escalade IQ
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Cadillac
So I have been all week in Vegas, sucky story I will post after I get back in a week as I am taking PTO off to go escape and unplug in the Canadian Rockies, Fairmount Hot springs. Summer Family Trip - Fairmont Hot Springs Resort Reservations Wanted to jump on this as I thought about this all week long and I wonder if this is what they will do? Escalade IQ Escalade IQL EV versions of Escalade Escalade ESV I totally agree that once ICE is gone, just go back to Escalade, but what about the ESV, go with just L then? -
True valid points, but then this surprise 50 extra miles tends to lead me to believe that GM is being ultra-Conservative on the Ultium battery packs and motors. I would not be surprised as they get more data on the existing EVs to see them tune the controllers giving more range under normal conditions and better estimates under load / trailering.

Toyota News: All New 2024 Toyota Tacoma Yearns For Adventure
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Toyota
Toyota fans will love this. I get a Mercedes vibe on the inside air vents and the exterior is just blah to me as it blends in with everything else. -
@Robert Hall Found this site as I am researching for myself a hot tub with cover and a fire pit area as my son's family and grandkids love to hang out and make smore's. Like many ideas from here. 22 Hot Tub Privacy Ideas for Every Budget (freshpatio.com) I am really liking these sunroom style hottub enclosures so you can see the sky and also cut wind and snow from the tub.
