I wish that some of these “new” companies would keep it simple. One of the biggest cripes I have with modern cabs/cabins is the lighting given off by massive screens. I run tractors and my ‘17 Colorado with the light turned to a minimum all night. The John Deere screens for GPS will let me turn them to pure dark if I…

That is with the $7.5k tax credit. If that goes away the price goes back to the original price.

Depends on the voltage system because I bet the rules talk about wiring and battery securing for a 12V system (although likely not mentioned as 12V). The question is what do you call a motor? An alternator is more of a generator, the starter couldn’t power it for a lap, the wiper motors? Power window motors? Blower…

Aux... was the first giveaway that you left stuff out. They need a primary to have an Aux fuel system.

Nah, the fuel is for propulsion. Electricity propels the Model 3, where as spark with 0 fuel doesn’t nothing for an ICE. You could bump the starter, but not finish a race.

Read the rules... per the rules it should not have passed tech. Were first responders well versed in handling an electric vehicle after a crash?

Rules... It all comes down to rules. If it is not stated in the rules, it doesn’t stand. Upset, get the rules changed, but as they stood the driver didn’t use an appropriate fuel.

Yeah, sure... Add $9k to get the tech package for even the most trivial options. My raptor spec should have been $55-56k, due to the tech package it was mid to upper 60s. With that I am doing just fine with my ZR2, over 25k miles on it so far.

You called it a treaty. If it isn’t a treaty which it appears not to be, don’t call it that. If it is a treaty it requires Congress.

They do... its called the Camaro

lol. Mulitmatic building the C8 mid-engine... highly doubtful. Considering that Multimatic runs/helps part of Ford’s GTLM program I don’t see GM doing that where they have the team at Pratt & Miller Engineering (down the road from GM Proving Grounds) who has been designing, building, and racing the Corvette Racing…

Are you sure? I can’t remember if there was a Congressional vote on it... The President can approve a treaty, but needs Congress for it to be enacted. The whole checks and balances. If it wasn’t ratified, it wasn’t a full treaty.

Agreed, but sometimes you need to take them apart. I put off rust repair for a few years on my driving datsun 240z. I absolutely feel I need to address this before enjoying it more. It is now cut open and the front fenders are half done with rust. Next comes stripping them to get rid of the massive bondo pile up from…

I found my WRX (‘15) didn’t like the cold temp startups. -25F and it was spec’d by the dealer without a block heater. Old 70s 350 with a block heater and a carb would fire right up with a block heater. It was also interesting the radio cluster display would flash in the -25F. Didn’t seem to like it too well.

But the owner is using this in a manner that isn’t recommended by Tesla. A stand-up company would say that it doesn’t warranty private property and stop the allowance of use like this. Tesla would rather take the headlines of its tech being pushed beyond what is recommended/likely legal. I would guess that this…

And of responsible mind. My same gripe, and I am a ME. I don’t do product safety, but I grew up on a farm where there are plenty of ways to get hurt by not seeing the full picture/view around you.

Sure it is technology, but this right here is also how this technology gets banned or heavily restricted. He is no where close enough to fully see the situation around his vehicle would be my argument.

Maybe, but there are some downfalls (in my head currently, not on paper) that would be the long mileage would be pay per mile. Possible lower work trim package making it less friendly. I have a ZR2 trim currently.

Yes because it isn’t made in America, as in the USA.

Agreed, I would need a bigger garage though. First is get the Datsun 240Z fixed up from rust and crappy paint (the paint is the last part of it all), then a ‘46 CJ2A that was rotted out from being used as a farm sprayer for years (my great grandpa is on the title and I tore it down 15 or so years ago), then the ‘68…
