sorry, but at some point everyone arm has crossed in front of an airbag. I think making a turn, you either palm the wheel like you have a Brodie knob or you hand over hand to turn. and off road I almost always do hand over hand. Also I will let the wheel turn in my hand always keep it so I can...
I fully agree with you. but I said the weak link. I didnt mean it was a poor design. it was (IMO) the part there would wear out first or the part that a driver would have the biggest impact on.
I was thinking CT as the SS skin and other pieces of the truck are much better than A leaf. I feel a very slow to rust and heavy duty exoskeleton. As well, the electric motors make the battery pack that most people are going to full charge and discharge the weakest link. The kid that drives his...
The last thing I saw Elon was saying the batteries would be recyclable. I thought it would be because they would replace the pack. MAYBE the whole pack would bolt in? One reason I want this is because of the long life of the truck. The battery pack is a weak link. IF it was replaceable. the...
I was under the impression that the camera is at the peak of the roof. just above the head of the driver under the beam. Looking through the glass above the passengers head. Above the bed cover. I think being on the tailgate is a problem in many ways, such as tailgates down or how far is the...
Really nice work, well thought out. But one question. I was under the impression that the review mirror was a camera place at the peak of the roof (just about the drivers head). With none on the doors, would this work with the cameras, would this kill the self driving mode?
there is a reason you dont see them out there. the tweel has strips of rubber to support the tire and rocks can get stuck in that area making the tire unbalanced at high speeds,
I was thinking about what if you attached a webbing strap around the tire, anchored at a hole in the wheel (lie you would tire chains or cables). if you could get the wheel to spin slowly enough, the motor has more than enough torque to work. opinion?
I like the idea. of rivets along the edges and ww2 plane nose art (like of Betty Grable). also remember with so many trucks out there all looking the same. your going to want yours too look different. come out from the mall and have 12 trucks and there is nothing to tell them a part?
I said this before, but the honda element the seats fold back and the toyota matrix the seats fold forward and lay completely flat. as far as the mid gate, I dont think it could happen as the roll up cover is going to be under the back seat. just guessing but it limited on where it is going to be.
yeah he the reason I like Elon even more.
what happen to a full self driving fleet of cars from GM in 2018??? (yeah, they were going to go from no program what so ever to cars with no steering wheels in 8 months)
I called BS on then. they were just trying to kill tesla sales.
I think Elon like syd mead drawings a little too much. Yokes are not legal (if i remember correctly) but there are no outside rear view mirrors either and I think thats a must have. for driving off road I think you really should have a s round wheel.
I believe there still are places the do conversion (just like van conversions) I dont think it would be that hard. I would add a couple of tesla batteries to the truck and have a folding awning that would be a solar panels. the hardest part would be adding to the frame and adding a 3rd axle to...
did anyone think that ford saw the CT and thought they need to up their game. because this is what they were going to sell. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/AY2MdsM1TZXGMgjgC_d9LqkKzBmotLsksQ50ymRap-MXJF6j3Rf_-yk/
Now I would like to see the small tesla truck compete with the bronco and the jeep...
I live out west and Im getting the 500 because I need it. but if you should go off road what about these new batteries could it be possible to give someone a little of my charge to get them back to the road? like getting a friend out of trouble.
