  1. In the 1980s, UK had Richard Townes, wedge-shaped cars and his series of glass sided Hustler cars. Citroen gave us the angular minimalist BX. Rover were also into wedge shapes. So I think Europe will love CyberTruck. The only is the large size. Our small roads and narrow parking spots will need something 3/4 scale. At least in width & length.

  2. Sandy is a superstar in his own right. Elon knows the questions will be intelligent, incisive and relevant.

  3. Musk thinks in at least three dimensions. Something very few engineers are capable of.

  4. The original idea for CanBus was a power ring main with control data interlaced over the top. It’s the same idea as Ethernet over ac mains.

  5. 1930s Germany and Russian Soviets were equally fascist. The only difference was Stalin pretended otherwise. Putin is trying today to recreate the same horrors that we “mistakenly” thought were closed down.

  6. The changes to sell the CT in Europe are trivial. No different to what other truck makers have to do. The main issue is size. European roads especially in towns are much smaller than USA. We need 3/4 scale version.

  7. In 2001, I was recovering from a disc prolapse at L5. GM seats were agony. Ford were better but not good enough. Peugeot Coupe seats were great but “normal” versions were not good. I eventually settled on the Audi A4 with sports seats. I could use that car for hours without aggravating my pain.
