$45,000 for a damaged body (No chassis)? Trollolololololololol

I have a really understanding wife. And my shop is connected to my office, so I sneak down there at lunch :)

I’m expecting about 50-70 miles if I’m not pushing it too hard. It’s a light chassis. I’ll do some testing when the snow melts.

COTD.

I still have to cool the motor and inverter, they generate a significant amount of heat under heavy load (1,000 amps or more).

How to improve Tesla build quality.

I think it’s wonderfully silly.

Belosic first became enamored with the idea of an electric car through a friend’s Nissan Leaf, of all things. While he said it was the “least impressive electric you can buy,” 

Now imagine working on those things. Basically just scale the tools up. That being said, the 3/4" drive breaker bar will break bolts on a car. My favorite thing is the dance to get the tire on and off the rim, since its tools and not a machine doing it.

Torch, I would gladly give any of y’all a true look into trucking, that includes a trip across Texas just so you can write about it (the good, the bad and the ugly). Hit me up!

Ditto. Cash and strangely Hill/McGraw are just fine by me.

I bet that was an epic trip. Normally I don’t like country music, but Cash is one of the few exceptions.

He is not, but he knows the song. I have ~400 Johnny Cash songs in my collection. I’ve done road trips (in a previous car) where the 6-disc changer was all Johnny Cash. Especially when that trip was in an all black F-350 crew cab long bed dually.

Is your son a Johnny Cash fan, by any chance?

This sounds like the basis of a joke my 7-year-old would tell.

That’s more power than some VW Beetle’s had!

33kw?! man alive. I don’t know how much HP shifter carts have but 45 hp from something that small is pretty nutty.

While they’re at this whole shoebox-sized rotary engine as a range extender thing, they should see about selling it as a standalone go-kart motor.

The first half of this headline is pure bliss.

To be fair, Kerbal Space Program has a lot of issues with insane jiggling unless you slap a dozen struts onto every single piece of the vehicle.
