Hows about one of our better known members approach and ask for proof to be privately shared? Bet it dries up pretty quick. Bit tired of the APs myself. Think they bring far more BS than good.

I was really speaking to your point about lockers being common in 1/2 ton pickups. I can see LSDs being common, but I don't really think lockers are, but maybe I'm wrong.

Are you using the word locker where I would use limited slip?

I was asking myself, WTH that noise was......

Right, but remember the class we are in here. Mechanicals lockers not that common. And do you really need lockers, of the only bad result is a little tire noise?

Sounds like basic tires trying to do off road stuff. Grabbing that dry dusty concrete, not easy.

For those wondering what that hill looks like, here it is.

Sure are. But here's whats odd, and maybe my googling jus sucks. They say they delivered 18 of them. But I cant find any instance of anyone who bought one publicizing that facts? So they are taking orders. I'm not quite so sure the public is receiving any yet. Not even the W/T Version.

The videos show pretty good improvement on the frunk gaps.

"Stunned driver" is the key thing. Being aware of your surroundings and NOT panicking, your reaction time should get you gone before the carjacker can get off a shot. But you need to practice that level of awareness and mentally have a plan. Sounds like paranoia, but to an old motorcycle rider...

Yeah, theres a formula, complex to my knuckle dragging self, that is part of the relevant FMVSS. Basically divides the area of the windshield that you actively look out of into three vertical columns. Each column has a swept area percentage, with the one in front of the passenger being the...

So heres where the dividing line is between windshield you use and what you dont. Below that is some other wiper examples. What do you drive?

Doh! Didn't even notice the subforum. :) And it is pretty. Not Big Sur, or Marin Headlands or Kern County roads at 4am between Ridgecrest and Palmdale pretty, but I do love my old growth four acres....

I just want to point out real fast. The land and the factory were built to do far more than just cyber truck. There's an entire battery and pack assembly plant in there also. Oh and one maybe two model y production lines. And also space for roadster production. Let's not forget that. There's...

See I think it's a pretty huge jump to go from keying to people actually firing guns at a vehicle for kicks. I mean I live in a place where there are a lot of guns and I just don't see that happening. I mean if you hang out where casual gunfire is a thing and it's not like downrange at targets...

I think as result of two things. Needing a nice rigid panel for regular tow and payload loads, and having 3mm cold rolled stainless already be a thing for Starship.

Pretty CA centric. :) Lived in Mountain View back in the 80s when I was stationed at Moffett. These days I call St Mary's County MD home, near St Marys City.

That dude shows up and laughs, and laughs, and laughs..............

Looking closer, looks like two maybe hit the rear quarter panel. Oh, and Musk responded....

So, please correct me if I'm wrong here, but being a pessimist and assuming they only got a 3,000lb payload we get this for min/max curb weights. Digit 6: Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) G = Class G – Greater than 3629 kg. to 4082 kg. (8,001-9,000 lbs.) H = Class H – Greater than 4082 kg...
