Amazing....Star for you.

Big issue with screens vs mirrors is that because they’re close to you your plane of focus has to shift from looking ahead down the road (focusing far away) to looking close (the screen right beside you). With mirrors when you switch from looking ahead to looking in the mirror you focus plane remains far away because…

My name is Garrett And was about to be offended and sad...But then realized your referencing a Garrett who spells his name with only one T and is thus a heathen...So carry on.

Is there a way to go back to a previous software version that would be terrible if you like the way your car functions and then they just change it on you inexplicably. Count me out of this over the air update business.

Insurance rates for Tesla’s must be astronomical if a bumper tap is 7k in damage.

Definitely sped up. But still impressive.

The bumper is attached to the rear hatch so if you bump anything with your bumper you smash your hatch... Which is a really bad feature to have on a french car. They USE their bumpers when parallel parking so this things hatch would be smashed closed inside of 2 weeks of it street parking in paris.

Yeah the first part was accurate in that certain industries and production capabilities should be supported and for national security in some cases subsidized so we have our own resources when necessary. The Saudi Arabia and Russia part though?? We produce more oil than we need at this point we don’t need Saudi oil. I…

Just put the masts on once you get to the other side of the bridge....? if he can pay to dismantle a bridge he can pay to move the ship to another drydock and put the masts on there.

Muskie boy got caught telling a lie?! Never in all my years would I believe it. / s :-|

The fact that there’s no gap between truck bed and body typically leans toward it being unibody - body on frame trucks need the gap for flex. However the Avalanche was body on frame but had the buttresses to stiffen it up to avoid the gap. Looks like they did something similar here to avoid one so it could go either…

It’s all about where the car hits.. If you hit the wheel / tire of the car in front of you and your wheel / tire package is bigger (SUV Truck) your tire jumps up over their back tire and flips your car. You’ll see it’s a common theme in these types of crashes. When Your front wheel it’s the back wheel of another car…

You’re not the only one. I always put my foot against them to clean my shoes also.

I’m sure they have it on a winch so they can reel it in and out like they do when you go parasailing. It’s not that hard - IDK why everyone on this thread seems to think it’s an impossible technical challenge.

? Sailboats definitely work. They have for thousands of years. A super large kite could definitely help propel a cargo boat. The challenge will be launching and recovering the system. There’s plenty of strong fibers out there the rigging ins’t the limiting factor here.

To be fair - any car from the last 15 years should be able to get to 60k miles with zero issues. Any problems before around 100k for a new car is bad these days in my opinion. I’ve had German, American, Japanese. no issues on anything before 90k and just minor one’s at that afterward till around 135 to 150k.

Yup, Giant and crucial distinction here though is that it is 4wd system with a locked center differential (transfer case) not an AWD system with an open center diff. You wouldn’t get the braking benefit in a typical CUV with AWD slip & grip system.

Can confirm. One of the first manual cars I drove was my uncles old Boxter. Like you said the vague clutch, high first gear & also the lack of torque from the motor in the base model meant it was a stall fest trying to drive it. Other cars were easy in comparison. Like others learning clutch and gear shifts from riding…

What about small generators or gas powered water pumps? You can’t substitute an electric option for those - for obvious reasons... That’s my concern. Snowblowers also are high - power and there aren’t electric versions available yet. Gas leaf blowers etc. good riddance...

The point is they could have accomplished #1 if he had actually attempted to steer at any point in the test. He corrected his steering to get around the corner 3 separate times in the Tesla but just let Jesus take the wheel as soon as the back end came around in the Mach E.....Still a fail but the driver involvement…
