Anybody. Anyone know whether the Octovalve system can uptake and utilize charge cable heat produced in the cord itself during the duration of charging a Cybertruck?
Obviously, Tesla chargers do not.
All respects to Godwin et. al. those of us here now, all of us, are survivors.
tl;dr
We the living are who are traumatized to this day. Under our very noses, an affront to everything for which those of us who believe in freedom were attacked. Not just hit neither. The USA was attacked...
Truck Specialties with class3–7 trucks dominate custom builds. But smart money will jump at a Semi in that price range, rather than skimp, down sizing to a lower class truck platform to both fit a specific use case and build an operation around when they can run a Semi on elec. juice.

Nah, just having a go at the pre-release profile drop.
What’s left? What would you do if the SUV pickup, regular stakebed work pickup and camp pickup were already contested? I’m Stellantis with a great name like RAM, I can’t go compact, so go Big or go home.
You chose the two legacy OEM’s both of which are bankrupt by 2026. SLOWLY isn’t the ship that makes course correction in time. FORDe is at least owning that to have a chance it needed to abandon ship to a lighter, more nimble startup to have any chance.
GM is sticking to its big guns hoping...
Argh…Cowboys come in a variety, a package deal with the horse they rode in on and Geniuses are no different. I’ve worked with only two true genius’s and can’t vouch for Elon’s gift but you can’t argue with his tenacity.
Look startups are a clusterfuck. A veritable moneybag with cons around...
Good catch, really. Thanks.
Stellantis aren’t hiding the fact that they are running an old horse on new EV drive units. To your point, it has camo’d whatever gizmo they have on the front fender. So it could be a test mule. and the camo bit is innovation Stellantis have for the RAM.
Both JEEP...
FORD Lightning EV sold out, even though essentially its old ladder frame pickup on new wishbones.
Stellantis saw how FORD was making a quick EV and doubled down. Its now a legit accepted classe of pickup the “Tenderfoot pickup”.
IDK there will be a big stockpile.… 4680’s are conditional. They will be manufactured in RT(realtime) with respect to Cybertruck production.
4680 shelf life must be maintained. Unlike cheese where it rotates position on a shelf, 4680’s demand BMS (battery management system) to preserve SoC...
That is new information to me.
Western engineering practice customarily designs for separate independence. U.K. are just the opposite leveraging off integration at every opportunity. That integration is not a first principle which is where I took the batterypack OG design at face value i.e...
Exoskeleton frame was designed and engineered before Tesla 4680 structural batterypack was a real thing. Adding 4680 structural cells into the batterypack:
unburdened the exoskeleton
picked up load force below CG
transferred energy from castings through the pack
mediated transient force travel...
Why care? It’s a truck. It’s gonna work. It was designed for that. Bleeding edge early adopters understand they are Beta testers in exchange for being first. Minimize failure if reliability is paramount. That’s 2170.
Battery chemistry, technology and charging improvements are making decadal...
An idiot sites a factory in TX then proceeds to ignore resources, talent and capacity nextdoor. México do automotive assembly, fabrication and engineering at the OEM level. Its not their first rodeo. Mexicans built two of my finest cars a ‘97 Tahoe and ‘12 Sportswagon. Wish they’d built the ’91...
That’s huuuge! From 7th to 6th…now 4th during COVID, out migration and the high COL in the golden state. The disconnect must be high technology that’s a-cyclical.
