Boring Company Flamethrower: Boring Company Flamethrower, Tesla Model S Long Range and Truck update

Not much got in the way of Elon Musk fans determined to win bragging rights for picking up one of the first 1,000 flamethrowers sold by the billionaire’s Boring Co.

Dennis Dohrman hopped in his truck and drove 2,620 miles from North Carolina to Boring headquarters in Hawthorne, California. Dan Thorman cut short a business trip to Singapore and came straight to Saturday’s event from Los Angeles International Airport. George Matus brought along his parents and younger brother on a 10-hour road trip.

“Imagine if you had the opportunity to get a kite and a key from Benjamin Franklin,” said Dohrman, 45, an environmental scientist who drove 39 hours from Hampstead, North Carolina, referencing the Revolutionary War-era inventor and statesman.

Dohrman snagged the first spot in line on Saturday to collect one of the flamethrowers sold to raise $10 million for Boring, a tunnel-digging company that’s working on a futuristic type of train-like transportation known as Hyperloop.

The company is working on a test tunnel in Hawthorne, has permission to work on another tunnel in Maryland, and is bidding on a project in Chicago. A usable tunnel that connects transportation hubs is probably years away.

Held in a parking lot adjacent to Musk’s rocket company, Space Exploration Technologies Corp., the event was a festival of all things Musk, set to the sounds of a mariachi band as customers snacked on complimentary churros from a food truck.

The Tesla Model S Long Range has accomplished 400 miles of range in another genuine test, as Elon Musk has been guaranteeing, however there's a trick.

Recently, Tesla discharged another "Long Range Plus" form of the Model S with an EPA-evaluated extend that was later refreshed to 391 miles on a solitary charge.

The new form of the vehicle was accomplished through a few little changes in the course of the most recent year and Tesla expected to change the name all together for the EPA to give it new evaluating.

Around a similar time, CEO Elon Musk asserted that Tesla is near having a 400-mile electric vehicle.

During Tesla's Q1 2020 outcomes, Musk guaranteed that they previously accomplished it on the grounds that the EPA committed an error when testing the new Model S Long Range Plus.

The CEO asserted that the EPA left an entryway open with the key inside the vehicle during their cycle test – bringing about the electric vehicle not going to 'rest' and depleting the battery excessively much.

The EPA has denied that, yet Musk accepts that the Model S is presently ready to accomplish an EPA scope of 400 miles and it will formally get it once the EPA continue testing.

Youtuber Bjorn Nyland, who regularly performs run tests on electric vehicles, chose to take an ongoing Tesla Model S Raven on a range test to check whether the vehicle can accomplish 400 miles of range on a solitary charge.

Elon Musk says that he is rejecting plans to make Tesla Cybertruck littler and rather recommends that the automaker could make an alternate littler electric pickup truck for the worldwide market later.

Not long in the wake of divulging the Cybertruck model a year ago, Musk began looking at making the electric pickup littler to fit inside an ordinary carport.

A month ago, Musk offered a few remarks with respect to the Tesla Cybertruck and how it will change when it arrives at creation.

He discussed how proprietors should wrap the electric pickup to get various hues, and he said that Tesla is refreshing the Cybertruck's versatile air suspension.

The CEO was asked what the greatest change is to Cybertruck from the model, and he reacted that Tesla "decreased the size by ~3%," made the "inside line increasingly level," and "brought down the window ledge tallness."

In any case, Musk said today on Twitter that he looked into the Cybertruck's structure with Franz von Holzhausen, Tesla's Chief Designer, the previous evening and they reached the resolution that they can't make the truck littler:

“Reviewed [the Cybertruck] design with Franz last night. Even 3% smaller is too small. It will be pretty much this size [referring to the prototype].”
