I was a traffic cop for most of my 26 year career. I've been to lots of training on collision investigation and I've, personally, worked at least 1000 wrecks. Never in my training or experience has anything indicated a large incompressible mass in front of the occupants would be anything other...
That was a wall of text. I'm 55. I can certainly do things without automation. But, some of that automation makes my life easier, makes mundane tasks faster, and life more enjoyable. So, this youngster is happy to have them - but, certainly doesn't need them!
I'm not worried about closing it manually. Just would like to be able to open it via a voice command as I approach in the event my and are full and I can't manipulate my phone/key card.
All good. I'm sure a solution will be available even if it doesn't work that way upon release.
You absolutely do NOT want that massive motor between you and your family.
In any motor vehicle collision there are three collisions: 1 - the vehicle with an external object. 2 - the human body(ies) colliding with the interior, and 3 - internal organs colliding with internal body supports...
Personally, as a handyman who does quite a bit of construction I'm fine with the smaller frunk. I'll, mostly, be putting my electric hand tools/hand tools up there (tool belt, circular saw, router, batteries, etc.) Anything else (and, anything larger) will go in the back.
Non-work use - I just...
I don't think there will be a midgate from all the more educated person's reviews of the data available so far. But, I wouldn't be surprised if the rear window doesn't slide down, Ala Tayota Tundra style. And, I'd be really happy with that.
Tophat of the tailgate should be plastic. They are plastic for most pickups. That's because so many long items (2x4's,plumbing pipes, etc) are placed inside the bed that rest in the top of the tailgate. The top hat being plastic allows for it to be easily and cheaply replaced if it gets...
I had a 97 Trans-Am and it had a long shopping front windshield, a long sloping rear window, and glass T-tops. Everyone claimed it would have heart retention issues. But, I never had an issue. Of course, I had all except the front windshield tinted with reflective tint. And, the Tesla's all have...
I'm being they just wrapped one of the alpha trucks. I can't imagine this being one produced in Austin. So, I'm thinking it is one of the trucks we've all seen images of previously - just with a wrap on it.
Most people have no idea how to use a turn signal anyway! Most seem to believe it should only be used once they begin their lane change which is so late it is absolutely useless anyway.
I'm hoping for a third party equipment company to create a signal stalk that can be programmed for whatever...
I would love to see this on the cybertruck. I also think that it will be a much lower cost braking system. And, if Tesla can roll this out on the Cyber truck and or Highland Edition they will have some experience before rolling it out on their low-cost Mexican made every man car. For that car to...
So, I'm not going to bother clicking on a link unless there is a summary in the op below the link. Secondly, this does not appear to be an EV ... so come I don't understand the word competition. Just looks like some clickbait to me. If I wanted news about gas operated trucks I would be in a gas...
