    What does ‘Hands Free Driving’ even mean?

    Of course, 99% of folks on this forum this is old news, but it's nice to see Ford sponsoring content and getting the message out to a lot of folks, this time through Zack at JerryRigEverything

    Yes, it is a Mustang and does Mustang things

    At least according to this Colorado cop, it's a Mustang (timestamp = 0:42). On a side note, I'm not sure why the driver didn't try the, "Sorry sir, I'm still on BC 1.0. Had Ford updated me with BC 1.3/1.4 like they said, it would have automatically driven my drunk butt a little better" (I...

    Engineering Explained - No, Tesla Cybertruck Is *Not* Faster Than Porsche (While Towing)

    Elon musk claimed in the Cybertuck launch event, "[The Cybertruck] can tow a Porsche 911 across the quarter mile faster than the Porsche 911 can go by itself". Additionally, it was claimed vaguely that the CT was also "faster" than a Porsche 911 (which some may interpret as top speed, others...

    Electric Chevrolet S10

    A little change from the norm, but checkout the beginning of restoration of this electric Chevy S10 pickup. I didn't even know these were ever made. It's awesome seeing technology such as wireless charging over a decade prior to the EV boom of today, and over two decades before the electric...

    The New Tesla / NACS Charging Connector Explained

    I think this video unintentionally explained why the announcement from Ford and others seemed to hint that we would have access to only a limited number of Tesla supercharger stations, and not all Tesla superchargers. TL;DR The current Telsa adapter essentially uses the J1772 + Chademo...

    Ford will be bankrupt in less than 4 years

    I hesitated to even post this video, as I would rather Zac and Jessie not get any more views but in the end I think it shows how rabid they've become. If you don't own a Tesla, you are nothing to them. It's clear their mission is not to move to a green economy, but it is to pump Tesla. They...

    How Trolls on Reddit Try to Manipulate You

    I want to share a video that spoke volumes to me during this pandemic even though it has literally nothing to do with the pandemic. It is a video from Destin (Smarter Every Day) and his deep-dive into Trolls and Troll culture. In the end, he discovers that we are all susceptible to...
