I created a poll about 4-5 yeas ago discussing what EV trucks would be available in 5 years. I can't find it anywhere now. Is there a glitch in matrix? Has the poll been completely removed?
Is it just me and my news feed or are solid state batteries actually starting to make real headwinds. I see Mercedes among others are actually going to be using SS in some production vehicles. I know they are still expensive and cost prohibitive for mass production but I can't help but wonder...
I'm officially invested in a couple of hundred shares.
Holding till Nov 2049 when I will start my mandatory withdrawals.
The only thing that would change my mind would be if SpaceX goes public. If that happens, I will swap 100% of the portfolio into SpaceX.
I'm curious and have not put much thought into this but what are your thoughts about everything being run off batteries and no power coming from power plants?
Would that really be a better situation?
I started thinking about it because we bought some new power recline furniture that I can...
Will it actually happen?

Looks like Ford is taking notes from giga-Texas with their "Mega-Sites"

I'm guessing vaporware, and I doubt it comes to production, but if someone wanted to take the CT and make it look more conventional and then name it after Tesla's human rival...oh wait, I guess that's what they did. I do like the bed cover idea.

Golf clubs that is.
Thinking of buying some PXGs. Good prices right now. Wondering if anyone has hit them before. The nearest fitter is over 90 miles from me, so if I make the trip to get fitted, I'm not going home empty handed.
RTI - Ramp Travel Index is one of those semi-obscure numbers used to help determine a truck's...or Jeep's ability to really off road and crawl over obstacles while keeping wheels on the ground.
Good explanation here
I'm not concerned that the CT have an extreme RTI to off road, but I would...
EDIT: Poll will close Sept 16th 2021. Poll is based on EV pick up trucks you think will have been sold by Sept 16th 2025. Meaning people are actually driving them.
Saw some news this morning about the electric F-150 and though it didn't say much it got me thinking about the other companies...
I didn't see this posted anywhere else, but thought it was worth the discussion. Someone tell Elon to get a driver prepped! Tesla can't be showed up by Rivian and they say their going and they have champion drivers.

Pretty awesome that they are staging "rapid...
I know anything is possible, but I'm looking for more of a science based answer to the question of whether or not satellite based wireless charging could be a reality for EVs? My guess is that the limitation isn't as much the distance, but rather the power source (satellite itself), since they...
Hoping the first Colorado Springs CT owner lets us know when/where we can take a look at the truck in person when the delivery happens. According to the unofficial tracker mine should arrive about 6 months after production starts...but there are a few locals ahead of me. #SPACEFORCE CT
