Great catch. Looks like nine seconds or so from high to low.

Yep, at least 1800-2k for the trailer, the GSE mount for the Raptor, another 2k or more, I mean still within the limits of even the single motor. So, not so much impressive from a capability standpoint so much as just cool as hell. I imagine this, like the Iceland footage will be part of the...

No me, I'm ready to roll.

So you think we're treading over the same ground too much?

Well, its a prototype, sooooo

Yep, that one doesnt need a Starbase access sticker :)

I have that exact one........... I use it save on repair bills :) So maybe we re not that different after all... :)

Are you sure your proctologist is legit? Mine doesn't use a phone, thats all I'm sayin.... :)

Agreed. In my old line of work we did "build up" testing, starting with benign levels and choosing points to match reality against the models as we stepped up the parameter's.

EDIT: Changed the Model Y to laminated. Lord knows I've heard enough about the glass you cant shatter, which means it should be laminated. Comment a ways down the page says unverified info says 4mm for Tesla tempered and 6mm for the Model Y laminated...

Can someone measure this? :) Still clipped from Bearded Teslas walkaround.

I worked in test a long time, and I would never try and judge the difference between 1mm and 3mm from that distance and angle.

So, it has to be NHTSA, I just remembered that the IIHS buys all vehicles https://www.iihs.org/ratings/about-our-tests#:~:text=Although%20we%20no%20longer%20conduct,just%20like%20an%20ordinary%20consumer.

I don't think any vehicle survives the 35 frontal impact test not totalled.

Yep, tomorrow in the team meeting, Jimmy's gonna be "See, see, I told you all!"

Maybe I'm crazy, but I see two bars. One normal Thule sort of bar which looks to mounted on the forward set of mount points and something that looks like it sitting right on the roof peak, what an aircraft would call a conformal mount. You can see it makes a little ridge at the top of the...

I'm with Regenshire, 35mph. Since the IIHS isn't required, seems most likely to be NTSA spec testing. And it certainly looks like full, not overlap.

This vid dates back to when Elon did SNL.

Well, give that light was supposed to be behind that glass, its not a huge diversion. I as the OP certainly don't mind. You want more wiper action, lets go. :) I'm hoping for a good clean shot of the passenger side of the wiper. I thinks its plumbed for washer fluid, but all the shots so far...
