If Tesla doesn't over-engineer the drivetrain with very beefy components, the endless memes with Cybertrucks parked on the side of the road with 14,000 lb. loads that it couldn't handle while a Ford roars by will be embarrassing!
Last night, rolling up to a stoplight with the windows down, a Jeep with big mud tires rolled up beside me.
The road hum from his tires was HORRIBLY loud! My wife commented on it immediately.
I thought about the rolling resistance, constant sound inside his cabin, wear and tear (can't be...
Let's say your client hits me from behind at 75 mph.
Insurance company: You were too close to the vehicle in front of you. It is your fault that you got pushed 35 yards ahead.
Sorry, but there is no minimal distance that must be maintained at a stop light that lets the person who hits you...
I may put a "For Sale" sign on the back and then go trolling for short drag races against fast cars in rich neighborhoods. That way all they see is a "For Sale" sign as I pull away.
I just need to know whether FSD is transferred with the vehicle or stays with the buyer if I get any serious...
Sentry mode records everything, but seriously doubt that this would be a problem amongst EV owners, like those losers who siphon gas by sucking it through a hose into their lungs.
I am definitely in the "less is more" camp. I always HATED that the Prius had to tell you that it is a "hybrid" on the left, on the right, on the rear. The period of hybrid "awareness" is over.
I also was annoyed that a "Model Y" I pulled up behind the other day had that badge rather than a...
Anybody else going to carry liability only? I am not worried about hail damage.
I trust FSD to keep me from any at-fault claims. This should save $1,000's over time.
I will probably get plenty of offers to buy my tri-motor after I smoke every Corvette, Porsche, Mustang, Camaro, BMW, Lamborghini, Hellcat... from every traffic light.
Yep. It will be the subject of endless memes. "When your truck is bullet-proof, but your wheel covers get destroyed by street curbs and 3 inch rocks..."
Also I had several friends with loud pickups get tickets for "exhibition of acceleration" in high school. Without loud exhausts, the cops would have never given them a second look.
Imagine a Ford Escort getting a ticket for "exhibition of acceleration?" Not happening, LOL! Yet, it would...
After a while, loud exhausts will seem like Maria Sharapova when she hits the ball, but your CT is 6 car lengths ahead after the light.
Back in the 80's, I knew a guy with an extremely loud Chevy pickup, but we knew it wasn't fast because we had watched it roar and crawl along slowly. My...
So, it doesn't really matter if you keep it daily "topped" up at ideally 80% like the Prius does with its ICE. It's all about maintaining the middle range.
