Musk originally predicted 250,000 Cybertrucks per year by 2025. Q2 saw about 5,000 deliveries... Oops.
The worst part of it is that there's some amazing technology in the CT that is completely overshadowed by the massive mess the manufacturing process was for overall longevity while ignoring how trucks are actually used. What they should have done was put that energy into putting the new technology into something like the Plaid. There's no reason why every refreshed Tesla shouldn't have steer by wire now. I don't think Tesla had any business making a truck no matter what the form factor was. Then again, I'm not the target buyer for truck these days and I have owned a truck previously. If I was going to buy an EV truck I would want the Lightning. I get that the Silverado is the better truck, but I've owned an F150 previously and the current model is very similar still to my 2017 F150 and I don't want to drive a 9k lb battering ram. I have a serious problem with GM's approach of making their vehicle so heavy because the battery weighs more than a small hatchback.
There are several in my neighborhood, and I see other ones around all the time. Now obviously there hard to miss but I would say they sold quite a few around here relative to the market size.
All over the place here with nothing in the bed. Many are wrapped.
Yes, China has a total of 58 nuclear plants running, 27 nuclear plants under construction. Plans call for a total of 150 NEW nuclear plants by 2035.
Well yes, and CCP numbers are always suspect, but have you been to downtown Detroit or St. Louis lately?
Abandoning cities because of changing demographics is way different than building cities that never get used.
Philosophically maybe, but both result in lots of money being spent with no current productive asset to show for it.
They don’t just do it at home - “oil for infrastructure” is creating empty buildings and empty banks …
Military should attempt to buy them at 0.50/dollar - wrap, modify as stealth - I mean they are already “faceted” LoL …
~300TWh/year, the dam is supposed to have a 60GW nameplate capacity, so they anticipate a ~57% CF for it.
The new one, it's 3x the size of Three Gorges.
I compare this to our (Manitoba's) Limestone G.S. on the Nelson River with a capacity of 1.34 GW.
Yep, the new one is 60GW.I compare this to our (Manitoba's) Limestone G.S. on the Nelson River with a capacity of 1.34 GW.
Three Gorges is mind-boggling at 22.5 GW.
And the new Chinese one will be 3x the capacity of Three Gorges?
In fairness the king of trucks - Ford, hasn't sold that many lightnings and at one point they were literally giving them away with rebates and such.
