On the last set of BFGs I had, the white letters were on one side and all black on the other. So, it just mattered which side you mounted as the outward-facing side.
It makes the battery cheaper, easier, and faster to make. It allows for greater energy density, and better overall performance and cycle longevity. It takes less equipment to make, so they can install more manufacturing lines in the same space.
It's a key factor in making the 4680 what it was...
@Earthxploration... That's looks perfect. I'm a huge KM3 fan.
What's the backspacing on those wheels?
Do you have a spec sheet you can share on those? It would be good starting information for people searching for wheels from other makers that fit.
It's not required. Your accountant will ask for it to file away, and if you don't have it they'll wag their finger. However, be aware, if you get audited and you have no paperwork. . .
Also, having a vehicle registered under your business and never filing paperwork is a red flag.
Ridge lent the truck out to youtubers. By the time MKBHD got it, it had probably been through hundreds of dumbass "chop your carrots off" demos. Including some youtube shock value clickbait chopping attempts on "stuff".
So, not giving an excuse, but this is to be had with a grain of salt.
BEVs are at the point where, in the U.S., no one is more than 2 people removed from personally knowing someone who owns one. And the trope, of when one family on the street gets a Tesla there are more Teslas on that same block by the end of the year, is a real thing.
So, no matter what the...
This is pretty good. I love the color of the mold that shapes the door seal structure of the CT, or something a little darker like the color of the Tampa Bay Bucs helmet, how it has a metallic flake treatment. I wonder if there are closeups to see the grain of the color?
I want an EV and I do light off-roading. I'm a loooong time Jeep owner. No rock crawling or Moab, but more than what a MX or MY can do. The CTs looks do it for me. I'm just not a fan of a traditional pickup trucks vibe or looks (except the TRX).
So the Beast is for me.
I think @keykeyg got it.
I'm no lawyer but if I sell you my company that has a vehicle in holding, you now have the vehicle. I sold you the company, the truck is still owned by the company.
Smarter people can chime in to correct me.
I'm in Northern VA I haven't ordered yet, and my invite still says Feb-Apr delivery for the AWD version. The Beast still says mid-late 2024.
I'm going to hold out for the Beast. I'll hold out as long as I can to see when non-Foundation versions will come out.
@T Sportline :
For the rear... is there enough of a fudge factor built in to anticipate good clearance when Tesla increases the rear wheel steering's sweep angle? I'm very interested in wearing a set of BFG KM3's 35x18s.
I edited while you were posting. I mistakenly had a "don't" in there... Fixed:
"They don't make very VERY few tires in 19.5." A cursory look on TireRack found 10 tires. They all had a speed rating of 81-87mph.
That's very VERY few options with terrible limits. Compare 18" options to 19.5"...
All Teslas let you adjust the beam height like this. I got flashed constantly in my MY when I first purchased it.
I did the 25ft/3.5ft cut for both headlights and I stopped getting flashed by oncoming traffic. Visibility is still great. I also notice when I'm behind cars at night my cutoff is...
