How was the sledge hammer unable to dent the side panel metal? What metal was it made from does anyone know?

Lots of claims online that it wasn't a sledge hammer, but a 'dead blow' hammer. Which is rather different... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_blow_hammer

Oddly, they also hit the two doors differently, one with the side of it, and one with the end of it. https://twitter.com/paully_steaks/status/119791596...

Why would Tesla be storing vw's?

They dont, i researched fields of cars and found 100,000's of illegal VWs..

In USA there are already more iPace and etron in dealers lots than they sold in the whole year. ..

I wonder if that's because there is no charging network for them. Nah... according to people on this forum that can't possibly be the reason... because as soon as the big boys launch EVs Tesla will be finished... so the reason they are not selling is... um... I forget... Hyphen?

Somebody on here made similar claims, then posted photo "evidence" of lots of stock piled teslas. They were all 2 or 3 year old cars, and it was at the dartford servce centre!

One of the cars pictured belongs to a friend. Funnily enough it was in for a service!

Speaking of trucks I was 'coal rolled' for the first time the other day. I was driving a tesla dead on 70 on a quiet duel carriageway, and had a pickup overtake, cut in sharply, and turn on the smoke for 2 or 3 seconds before screeching off at 5mpg.

I'm not saying I don't deserve it as a person, but i was driving perfectly normally. So my best guess is some kind of political gesture. Though I'm not going to be the one to figure out what it meant.

I'm guessing this is an american thing?

Is anyone still seriously considering a cybertruck?

Will be 5% smaller to fit in a garage. So perfect for asda after all.

You have linked to a private vid Sam.

Can you replace the link to you and your wifes home movie with the correct one? (and then answer my pm to get access to the former )

Polestar last said they're on track for first deliveries in July. The UK government have been very slow approving grant eligibility. It might be delayed in the UK; rumours are flying around on the UK Facebook group but nothing is confirmed.

EV news very slow at the moment. Lots of pullback which is a real shame. What happened to polestar it was supposed to be here June 2020?

Not just size, he also said the front window glass was difficult to do. So appears changes to make it mass producible.

Scale it down 5%.

"u turned on the size"

You can't make this up.

What a bunch of muppets. This is why most car companies do prototypes and concept cars, not full product launches before they even figured out how to make the bloody thing.

I don't think muppets is appropriate.

What Tesla have achieved and how they have managed to not go bust and keep raising cash is very impressive.

The Muppet are those buying the shares based on promises to be kept at an unknown time in the future.
