@theoztrucker The Australian Government is running deficits, so they don't have $100M even from current taxation. So this would have to be borrowed money which then will attract interest before it is paid off.

@AI__Alex @techAU @cybertruck @TeslaAUNZ In 2024 10,611 full sized Pickups (RAMs etc) were registered in Australia so some elements of the challenge are being met. I agree it is very difficult though.

WholeBoard runs on Linux, macOS and Windows, and one installer sets up KiCad, TraceMaker, FreeCAD and ngspice. Use Claude, OpenAI, Grok or a local model via Ollama. It's under construction, so give it a go and tell me what breaks.

@Novoicetoday1 @TeslaTravelstx Feels that way to me too.

[Nigel Hungerford-Symes @VectorCrossProd]

@baianoise That would be a real test. RF layout is a whole different game to a 555 blinker :)

[Nigel Hungerford-Symes @VectorCrossProd]

Example board: a 555 LED blinker off 9V. 42x26mm, 24/24 nets routed, KiCad DRC 0 errors, JLCPCB estimate $28.87, plus a FreeCAD enclosure with BLINK engraved on the lid. Designed with a local Qwen model. What should I throw at it next?

@bookwormengr Might ask Claude to read this for me

@RobGrieves Plug into a 2025 juniper please

@GhostOfFrederic @techAU @cybertruck @TeslaAUNZ I guess we will never know. Steer by wire sounds easier but maybe the Government just said they have EDS or something and that was that.

@13arm13arm @SawyerMerritt Plus Diesel is not going down in price any time soon.

[Nigel Hungerford-Symes @VectorCrossProd]

Mines are trying to electrify sites post haste and would look at the CTs. The Gold Coast would start leasing them instead of G-Wagons. I am fighting in traffic every day against imported pickups. In 2024 alone is was reported that 10,611 full size US pickup trucks were sold in Australia.

[Nigel Hungerford-Symes @VectorCrossProd]

Ok who is going to start importing and converting CyberTrucks to Australia now? We already have a pipeline for RAM pickups etc.

@i2cjak Time to take your meds...
