Farley definitely said something contrary to building the 30K truck. Whether that was misspoken or saying what the guy next to him wanted to hear who knows. You can’t build a 30K truck on an ICE platform but you can build one on a ground up EV platform. There won’t be a lot of jobs because...

This actually. If you don’t like being a passenger in a vehicle, it doesn’t matter what level of automation it is, you will never be fully comfortable with self driving vehicles. Period.

I believe WMA keeps them in the native CD format without additional compression. Memory is cheap, I would keep them uncompressed. EVs are quiet enough you can hear the distortion from compressed formats.

Continental TerrainContact A/T aren’t XL rated. If you’re ever planning to carry a load in your bed, they probably aren’t the best choice. There is an XL version of the HT. Ideally you want to stick with EV rated tire. Granted that doesn’t leave a lot of choices for the Lightning.

In the last five years charging rates have definitely increased significantly. However, I just checked my logs and on subscription, EA has been generally 36 cents per kWh. While on my latest summer trip from WI to NC and back through PA, my costs at Tesla superchargers varied from 28 to 40...

Great episode. Adversity and challenge create great memories, character, and good content.

Bluetooth is then not the way to go. Tidal over CarPlay which also uses WiFi does a good job of maximizing the B&O sound system quality. I would say it’s above average. It’s about on par with the B&O I had in my 2012 Audi. Not as good as the premium sound system playing Tidal in a Tesla...

My first car was a used 1983 Ford Escort and over the years I looked at Fords but for years Ford cars didn’t fit me. My knees would be touching the dashboard which doesn’t feel safe. F150’s have lately seemed like Fords best made vehicle with the best paint and finish. It took the Lightning...
