When the hype cycle dies out, the improved GPU based computing will give small efficiency bumps in a few industries that process large amounts of data. Nothing more. That's the way technology actually advances. All the gambling addicts out there want you to believe they created a computer god...

"AI" is by definition always talking BS. It's using your prompt to generate a response it thinks you're looking for. It is a plausible sentence generator.

I predict 3.2mi/kwh city, 2.8mi/kwh highway. I'm basing this on 1: vibes, 2: numbers from other boxy EVs, and 3: the fact that nothing from the shape to motor/inverter is optimized for efficiency

I generate my own plausible sentences after watching stuff.

Somewhere along the way Slate said it will be e-coated

the Big Antenna lobby is out of control

We've got another month before we get more details, so that gives this forum plenty of time to create a dozen theories to argue over. Also, about 20 new members will join just to say that the truck looks far too barebones for them, and they can't believe that the steering wheel is an accessory...

From the model, it looks pretty tall, and no space between there and the brake pedal. People with really long legs might find it uncomfortable for longer drives, but we'll have to see ***closer to production***

Looking back at this video, it does look like it intrudes a fair amount. If you put your left foot there, how does it feel compared to a typical "dead pedal"? Is there enough space between that and the brake pedal to add a dead pedal (where a clutch pedal would be, if that wasn't clear)?

If anyone is unclear on where the rear seat and footwell are, it's been discussed. https://www.slateforums.com/forum/threads/truck-bed-secret-storage.14202/post-214141 We get our first look at the area under the back seat, and it appears there is a small area. Only a few inches deep, which...

Porsche Taycan has a 2 speed transmission on the rear motor. I think there's a couple others, but it's not common.

The Vehicle Engineering Technician position is right up my alley, but there's no way I'm going to be able to convince my wife to uproot our lives just to move to the other end of Lake Erie, lol.

A cargo van makes sense for fleet sales. For normal consumers, I would love to see them continue to fill markets that have been more or less abandoned, like making a small basic hatchback. They'll probably give in and make a 4 door SUV, but if they do then they're actually competing with the...
