Damping is the root of the issue. The Raptor is tuned for comfort, not speed/hard hits. With a much stiffer valve stack in the shocks, and probably a rate-plate in there to stiffen it even further on hard hits that would have likely been fine. However, tuning it like that would make it suck on the street. I’ve not…

At least they didn’t compare the EPA cycle of other cars to the USPS cycle of this in this article.

We don’t slap off the bumpstops, I’ve jumped that kinda mound even in cars with 6-8" of travel - you just need pretty hard compression damping to take it and some progressive foam stops ideally to stop you getting that massive spike of hitting hard stops.

Perhaps counter-intuitive but what you wanted in this case was…

I came to the comments to talk shit but after seeing he doesn’t really blame anyone but himself, I can’t really hate on the guy. Was it stupid? yes. Did he acknowledge it was stupid and he didn’t have a clue what he was doing? Also yes. 

A Stadium Super Truck has twice the suspension travel (26" vs. 14-15"), half the weight (2900 vs. 5800 lbs) and motorsport-grade dampers.

Well, I am honestly impressed with his candor and admission that there’s no one to blame but himself. Here’s to good healing.

I don’t understand. I enjoy my freedom. I don’t ride a bike nor drive a giant diesel truck. But if that makes you happy, whatever. So, why would I intentionally do something stupid and dangerous to someone that enjoys something that doesn’t bother or hurt me?

Maybe that’s just his pick-up line.

Not cancel culture. Consequential culture.

1: Do asshole thing and show it for all to see.

Only by public ridicule and snide comments from the mouth breathers around them. 

Short answer, yes.

shhhhh. let them.

And if that's true, see an endocrinologist. Don't stick your dick in a Chernobyl box. 

The most hilarious part about all of this is that guys like Tucker that drone on and on about how it’s the end of “real men” is that they are the absolute embodiment of betas. Just look at them and listen to them! How alpha is it to sit around all day behind a microphone or in front of tv camera in a damn bow tie…

If i remember right, at LeMans it’s ether limp it back, or get stuck track side for HOURS with the bike/car. It is quite the task getting machines ferries around after a crash that didn’t get carte to the garage.
Another benefit of this is that you can potentially get back in the race if its repairable (by the rules)…

My small engines in lawn/garden equipment are crying about this. Unfortunately, my only option for ethanol free gas is buying it in the can at the hardware store. Luckily, I’ve already started switching a lot of them over to electric.

Direct Sales are always a convenient way to complain about dealers without realizing that you’re then working directly with a massive corporation instead.

I am still a huge believer in Tesla, Elon Musk

Where are all the “direct sales will save us all” folks? Tesla literally says you can return the car without an issue, but wrote in an arbitration clause so you can’t do it easily.
