This guy decided he couldn’t wait any longer and made his own Cybertruck out of plywood. To keep the finish he just has it sprayed for termites.

Repost……A general question about all the cameras for self driving. Maybe it has been answered before and I missed it. What happens when you get behind a truck on the highway throwing up mud when it first starts to rain? I can turn on my washer and wipers for the windshield. if I am in...

i really don’t think a lot of people have fully thought threw what is involved in polishing metal. The comment about shinny Airstream is a perfect example. Keep in mind aluminum is very soft metal compared to a 300 grade stainless steel. I would guess polishing stainless steel could take ten...

i really don’t think there is any plan to use Corten steel. It is a structural steel designed to rust…brown rust, as a protective coating, not simply dulling oxidation you get on stainless steel.

WERE!

PERSPECTIVE………..do the key test on your present painted vehicle and send a picture for comments. Seriously…..I think we will find a coarse grade of wet dry sand paper to touch up minor scratches that won’t polish to a mirror like finish. I would be interesting if you tested different grades of...

The problem with passivating and electro finishing is time and space required. Probably as bad as painting. Getting closer to 316 and 317 higher molybdenum content for better corrosion resistance is more expensive but may reduce the need for additional processing.like passivating which could...

With the size and crush strength of the front and rear castings, added to the structural strength of the stainless steel body, I think it will be a very safe vehicle.

i do know that over 150 mph the over passes on I75 between Naples and Ft. Meyers are close to zero gravity…..?

They all ready have……but they are rockets like Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy. The stainless even gets tested at re-entry speeds up to 18,000 mph and reaching temperatures that exceed what my CT will reach sitting in the Florida sunshine. A little faster than I plan on going in my CT.?

i couldn’t agree more.

With the totally redesigned cast substructure and battery pack, I would not be surprised if the upper stainless steel body is made lighter with a reduced metal thickness in many areas.

How can it be anything else but Beta Phase. The total design has changed since they built the first couple of one offs for show. They do not even have the 8 ton mammouth press delivered or producing castings. The front and rear castings, bolted onto a center battery pack, is a total design...

This is a repost of my response on the topic, which I thought was worth a new topic. Beta Phase……Rivian it was a real life adventure series called LONG WAY UP. Number three on Ewan McGregor‘s motorcycle adventures series. An AppleTV Series staring “Star-wars” Ewan McGregor. Great watch if...

Beta Phase……Rivian it was a real life adventure series called LONG WAY UP. Number three on Ewan McGregor‘s motorcycle adventures series. An AppleTV Series staring “Star-wars” Ewan McGregor. Great watch if you are a motorcycle long distance rider. Very educational about the World we live...

I’ll bet this guy isn’t worried about you stainless steel sniff and scratch test…?

i do not know what sort of enemies you guys have made in life or what dark part of the World you live in with such fear, but all of this fear of and beating up key scratching vandals, goes right over my head.

Isn’t it amazing the human mind is doing all of this plus.

316 ss is non magnetic…..304 ss is slightly magnetic.
