    Ok Elon. Put a big one in the Cybertruck and we are good to go. :)


    The Cybertruck needs SOMETHING. Still the most hideous (and scary) thing I've seen in a long, long time.


    Heh heh. :). I hear ya. And yet I want one. Go figure. :). My wife has a reservation for one. Then maybe she’ll give me her model 3. :) She is pretty far down the list though. Something like 300,000 ish ahead of her. It will be a few year.s :)

    The "go juice" is two additional neutrons per atom. Changing graphite to diamond does not alter the atoms, just the arraignment.

    Perhaps glow-in-the-dark diamond rings could be a side business....
