I mean there’s just a slight difference between doing this on a truck that you claim you’re going to ramp up to 500k units per year, and doing it on a super exclusive car that you’re building <1000 of per year. 

Or, before the truck even arrives just take a freaking tape measure and check things out. 

Peffer says it’s also about quality control. All those different trims add complexity in manufacturing

I don’t like Musk but you should really look into the details of the package and the situation before pretending to post knowingly about it.

The lexus is 0.28 seconds lag, the tesla is 0.125 seconds lag, or less than half.

I’m assuming this is a tri-motor so one thing to keep in mind is something like the Patriot, preventing a wheel from spinning is a necessity because it one rear wheel is spinning in the air, it means the other rear wheel is getting zero torque. But in the case of a tri-motor EV, one wheel can spin in the air but the…

Glad I’m not the only one who saw that and thought it looked like a powerpoint made by a 3rd grader for a school project in 1999

Well you see, if they want him to be a regular contributor, presumably he’s going to expect some sort of compensation for the content he provides.

They really only make sense if you have specific lifestyle/hobby situations that necessitate a lot of days on the road.

Apparently “the answer is always miata” applies in all scenarios EXCEPT when someone is exactly describing a Miata?

AC seats are one of those options that when it came out I thought “god what a stupid gimmick” but after buying one car that had them equipped, I switched to “well look like for the rest of my life I’m always going to opt for whatever luxury trim is necessary to get these things included”

My strategy is for trips where a checked size bag is desirable, I always make sure my backpack has the essentials to cover my first day or two. Like if I’m going to mexico, my backpack will have toiletries, a couple shorts/shirts and a swimsuit.

I feel like people get a ridiculously unrealistic idea of how “unreliable” baggage handling is. Like the people telling stories about the 1% of the time they lost a bag are the loudest and that’s what sticks in everyone’s impression as the expected result somehow.

If only there was a way for a simple person to make their own CO2 when they need it...

+1, basically any independent suspension vehicle is going to see lateral wheel movement when raised or lowered.

Yeah this is a ridiculous non-story. Every major maker is going to tend to have giant lots to hold their excess inventory. The only real unique thing here is whereas those other OEM’s tend to have their own lots or dedicated storage lots, it’s a little quirky that Tesla is using an old mall lot instead of a plain old…

Yes, it’s a Raptor but they do not hold their value. Better than a regular F150 yes, but it’s no one is ever going to get that ADM back.

Is 39 inches really all that wildly long? A small block ford has half the cylinders and is pushing 30 inches too so that doesn’t seem all that wild.
