2023-06-20 Bureaucracy – California vs. Texas
I agree that there is a lot of bureaucracy in California. But it’s there for a reason – many reasons. I think Texas will eventually be the same way when their population continues to grow.
2022-06-05 9000T Gigapress Is For CT Unibody
This is a new theory. Elon Musk said the 9000 ton IDRA Gigapress is for the Cybertruck body, in other words the structural frame underneath the exterior stainless steel panels.
