    Musk Shows Off Driverless Robotaxi to Be Priced Under $30,000

    The bigger picture, not spoken here, is certain automotive industry players are focusing towards the buzzword idea of “mobility”. The thought of vehicle ownership or having it stationary parked during the night or day is not what the industry has in mind. These players are focusing solely on...

    Scumbag ASUS: Overvolting CPUs & Screwing the Customer

    Tesla Unveils Radical Cybertruck.

    I agree the styling is radical, and I don’t care for it, but consider a few details. I’ll try to explain the best I can. A more conventional bed and cab design would work fine for a body-on-frame. Tesla went for a unibody, and so the side stampings would have to be larger, near the bed and rear...
