Albert Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I saw the first video, hadn't watched the second yet. Very cool and horrific at the same time. Really looking forward to seeing what Tesla has come up with when they announce their pickup later in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 Just started watching the second while a large job compiles. I cringed when she keyed TRUCKULA onto the trunk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Wow, I completely forgot about this project, thanks for linking to the video! Nice to see she's still driving Truckla around, and that she had some additional work done on it (and sounds like they're going to do a bit more). The charging bot was interesting, although I'm not sure I'd trust it to not scratch the hell out of my car. Tesla is going to have to come up with some sort of automated solution someday, maybe a giant charging mat you park over as was kind of shown in a render / photo at a presentations they did recently. ..Al 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted March 31, 2023 Author Share Posted March 31, 2023 I'd forgotten about it too, it popped up on my YouTube suggestions last night. Was surprised it hadn't been waterproofed, I'd find it annoying to have to run out and cover my car every time it rained. Of course we get 90+ rainy days per year in Houston, have no idea how common it is where she lives. The charging bot was neat, but wouldn't work for me - when parked there isn't enough room between the car and the garage wall for it to maneuver. Maybe something that was mounted on the wall. Charging mat could be interesting, depends upon how much loss there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
