Nice of those 1,250,000 folks to give Musk an interest free loan.

I wouldn't trust those numbers and I wouldn't expect any of those hideous trucks rolling off the production line anytime soon. It will be years if ever. The whole thing was nothing more than a publicity stunt to keep the stock price up. All they did was post up some prototype that is far from being production ready. And with their history of manufacturing issues it will take them over a decade to fill those orders if that truck ever makes it to production. They don't even have the tooling to manufacture it.

Tesla is a shady company and I wouldn't be surprised if they end up getting caught fudging their numbers. They have never made a dime selling cars. Their stock price is ridiculous. Every other auto manufacturer is coming out with electric cars as good as any Tesla. And there is no way that Cybertruck is going to compete with the Electric Ford F-150 Lightning which will should become the best selling electric truck and will hit the market within the year.

No tacos but I did make chicken enchiladas last night. They had a few boxes of Hatch peppers at Fred Meyers and I've been making enchiladas for years when the Hatch peppers show up. They ended up being a little spicier than I planned and I paid for it this morning. That was a couple hours of grief I could have done without.

Safety is a tricky game when it comes to anything with high discharge abilities. I nosed my flying wing into the asphalt once with lipo's and that fucker went up in two seconds and it was a very intense little fire, like stomping it out was completely out of the question. Chemical things were happening and they weren't going to stop happening until they used themselves up.

tesla seems to keep firefighters busy lately
www.yahoo.com

A California couple's Tesla caught fire while charging overnight, ignited another Tesla next to it, and caused a massive house fire. They haven't been home in 8 months.

"The firemen said it was so hot that they couldn't walk up the driveway," Yogi Vindum told The Washington Post.

Vindum Engineering products are proudly made in California and supplied to customers around the world"

Smashing a racing quad into a concrete pillar at 160kph has the same spectacular result! Props, carbon fiber bits, motors and electronics flying out of the fireball, not much to salvage...

To be fair, it was a homemade job with pretty much zero protection over the batteries lol.

Here is my Lipo battery box, Lipo's are sensitive and must be stored at the proper voltage, I store Li on18650's separately. Always store and charge these suckers in a metal box or Lipo bag. Lipo's are a pain in the ass to manage and balance charge.

Oh yeah I see some familiar stuff in there, I have the B6AC charger, and I see you have some of those super high discharge packs 90c or whatever it is, those are great. I've used them to power spot welders.

Incase ya still fly or wanna get back into it, things have changed quite a bit, FPV puts you in the cockpit and prices a stupid cheap.
