i saw a fleet operator running a mobile clinic today. no solar. no onboard battery. no remote monitoring. just a diesel generator rattling in the back. like a psychopath.

“The best all electric RVs on the planet” - @ashleevance on @groundedevs
Here we go. The full episode of our first foray into Detroit's tech scene here on @X. For your viewing pleasure, we defaced an EV truck from GM, went to visit @slateauto and found the best all electric RVs on the planet. This episode marks the birth of Sexy Brexxy - the intelligent finance vehicle and my final evolution into a full YouTuber. Thx to @brexHQ for letting us be idiots and to @gm for tolerating us. Part 2 goes up on the Substack today for subscribers, and Part 1 (this episode) is on our YouTube channel

250 miles of range in 5 minutes Once this technology is widespread, ICE vehicles will live on only for hobbyists, the military, emergency use and the like
This is the EV flippening. Electric vehicles now fill up roughly as fast as gas. The new BYD chargers add 400km of range in just five minutes.

Our first Detroit episode is out, and it's glorious with visits to @slateauto and @sambshapiro's Grounded RVs. We also may have upset the legal staff @gm with what we did to their loaner vehicle, but I think everyone will admit that the creation of our @brexHQ Mobile was worth it Full episode right here - corememory.com/p/can-detroit…

Grounded team holiday dinner last night. A rare moment of low intensity for the team. Well deserved.

Factory Visits #62-#64 #62: Grounded: @sambshapiro's Grounded was one of Takton's first factory visits back in 2024, and one of our first three Industry Partners. Going back this year to see all of their progress was a highlight of the roadshow. #63: Matikon is a global automotive manufacturer of advanced kinematic parts, supplying many of the luxury brands you're familiar with. Think motorized air vents, electric charging flaps, cupholders, and more. #64: @davidliuxyz and @devonkcopeland's FinalRev got two visits this year. One to their original facility in Oakland, and one to their new facility in Berkeley. They're on a mission to offer fast, machined parts in every industrial region in the US.
