    Semi General Discussion

    Do you have a link to that study? A quick search only yielded things like: “ARB estimates that diesel PM contributes to approximately 1,400 (95% confidence interval: 1,100-1,800) premature deaths from cardiovascular disease annually in California.3”

    Semi General Discussion

    So you’d rather breathe straight diesel exhaust than breathe LA air? Sure, when new, diesels are better than they used to be, but how clean is that diesel engine in 15 years?

    Semi General Discussion

    This is a big deal. Studies show riding a diesel bus lowers IQ scores. I can’t believe how crazy parents can be about issues around their children but this one doesn’t get parents worked up. I guess if you can’t easily see the damage, there is no need for pitchforks and torches.

    I’m sure it’s IP67 rated. You’d be fine.

    Will Tesla make a cabover design for Euro built in Giga Berlin?

    SpaceX Starship - Integrated Flight Test #2 - Starbase TX - Including Post Launch Dissection

    Yeah engineering decisions. Less weight and reduced complexity of the stowing mechs and four less failure points vs the added fuel to overcome the added air resistance.

    Haven’t heard. The RCs that people reviewed were the tri motors. One new owner said he didn’t know which one he bought. Obviously easy to know based on how much they paid but haven’t seen that from anyone either.

    Going to talk at the launch event? I’d be shocked if that happened. Munroe posted on X a pic of him, Drew, Hans and others. I assume Munroe will drop the video shortly after the launch event ends.

    This thread is pretty quiet for the actual launch day. Will anyone on here be at the launch event?

    Sure but the people (however small of a group) that wanted a single will still be upset. 🤪

    Launch is Imminent

    The production rate will start out so low that it doesn’t matter much when the tri-motor becomes available. A lot of people are going to be upset waiting for a single, dual, or tri.

    SpaceX Starship - Integrated Flight Test #2 - Starbase TX - Including Post Launch Dissection

    I’m guessing SpaceX’s priority is the opposite order of your list (not that you listed them in priority). For this first hot staging attempt they probably were over cautious about not hitting Starship. Now that they have real data they can start to improve the maneuver to meet all three goals.

    It would be pretty dumb if they didn’t…so they probably won’t. When they do allow people in, a few days later we will see “news” articles about how easily the exterior shows fingerprints.

    I didn’t spot the spelling error. Maybe that’s how Tesla will get around it - we call it exosekelton, which is our name for it. It’s clearly not an exoskeleton. Haha

    Still claiming exoskeleton.

    About time to start looking into the future. Scott Manley thought SpaceX might do some static fires for flight attempt 3 before the end of 2023.

    The Semi isn’t in production for the general public. No surprise full details not released.

    I expect this too based on Model 3 first delivery event presentation. Maybe not too detailed but some guidance.
  32. VIKING26

    Launch is Imminent

    Yes Yes The Model 3 first delivery event released this info. I would be shocked if Tesla invited people to the CT first delivery event and just handed over 10 CTs without a presentation giving all of the details.

    lol working hard to spin negative things about the CT today. I hope some oil company is paying you for creating so much CT hate. If I hated a product as much as you hate the CT I’d find better things to do with my time than complain about it constantly.

    They said in the video they couldn’t really read it and guessed. They were looking at the same picture someone shared a few pages back. Take a look at that pic and tell me what your read it as.

    It probably is fake. For one, if there are only two options available for initial orders, wouldn’t they know the price of the dual motor too or how does one decide if the tri is worth it or not? Secondly, if day one reservation holders are getting contacted we would be hearing from more of them...

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    Right but they don’t want people to not buy now if they think something new is coming soon. Although Highland is coming anyways so I’m not sure how many people would put off a purchase if they knew a Ludicrous 3 was coming in one to six months.

    That looks more like a ludicrous badge than plaid. Tesla will sell more cars calling it ludicrous than plaid. Very tempting to upgrade.

    Exterior Dimensions?

    I noticed the same issue with the Israeli PM getting a ride with Musk. Had to bend his head forward and nearly hit it on the A pillar. He is 6 feet tall.
