Novacel has protective films for all kinds of products including stainless steel. They are for protection during manufacturing to keep the steel looking good whole it is getting stamped, bent, laser cut, etc. They even have a product for highly textured products called Olympeaks. These are...
The front corners of the truck are already angled, they could aim (some of?) those LEDs a little more towards the side and then only turn those on when the truck is turning or indicating a turn.
Very common tire/size. There are more highway oriented and more off-road oriented tires to choose from. The one you mentioned is apparently a Load range D (8 ply equivalent) since it's max inflation is 65 psi. The same tire is offered in Load Range E (80 psi max) as well (I'm 99% sure). The...
I like my Bolt, can't park it in the garage anyway. Hope I can pick up a second Bolt for a song, for the kids to drive! The Bolt is less likely to catch fire than the average ICE, so I'm not worried. Sometime in the future I will get a new battery with more range than the original battery!
I'm not a fan of the yoke, so far. Of course, I've only seen pictures and a few videos. It won't be a deal breaker for me, but unless a test drive convinced me otherwise, I would opt for a traditional steering wheel if given the choice.
You're right that I won't give you the answer, as I suspect you are not as clueless as it seems. When you call the reduction gear a "transmission" when talking to the average person, or even an automotive enthusiast, you and the other person very likely have two very different images in your...
I would call it a Reduction Gear, like Nissan calls it. But you and the Tesla manual can call it a transmission! Just realize when you talk to most people, they won't consider it as a transmission.
It certainly does not have a transmission in the sense of the common use of the word in the automotive world, where it usually refers to a set of multiple gears/ratios with which to keep the ICE in its optimal power/efficiency range at the vehicles current speed. What electric cars have are...
I was wondering the same. I'm trying to figure out why a 6'6" truck bed would be less adequate for sleeping, than almost any SUV? Even for someone 6'4"...
In many of the previous implementations of 4 wheel steering, the rear wheels do not have nearly the same range of steering as the front. I would bet part of the reason is so that less space is taken up with the possible swing of the tires sweeping left/right. For instance it might require much...
I think it is in California, CHP pulled me over coming back from Las Vegas on the freeway, for passing in the right lane... About 25 years ago. I was super surprised, because I was not driving aggressively or weaving through traffic at all. I have always driven in the right lane when possible.
Never seen an independent rear suspension Dually. I would guess a conversion will cost about as much as the truck itself. Unless you have mad fabrication skills and the mechanical and electrical know how. Maybe reinforcing the original suspension and going with a super single might be...
