Not exactly true, it's been done. A guy did it twice, first built a trailer with a used Tesla/RAV4 pack, then did it with a Model S 85 pack. Don't know the exact details since he never shared them but he probably hooked it up to the high voltage pack connection since he could use it while driving.

Vehicle with functioning ABS screeching the brakes?

Well it's a report of an actual event even if reported with bias.

Some details: You can hear the skidding in the video, unfortunately it's too far away to see much. https://jalopnik.com/tesla-cybertruck-unexpectedly-accelerates-into-home-wit-1851557475 Dedicated thread...

It sounds as if the motors could be repaired with a new circuit board, I wonder if they'll try to re-work the old motors? Might not be worth it from a labor perspective.

The SS on a CT is completely different material than the steel and aluminum they normally work with. I highly doubt any of their tools would be effective. Remember standard automotive 100 ton stamping presses couldn't be used to make the SS CT panels. Plus as I mentioned up thread the SS...

For real, someone needs to develop a reasonably aerodynamic bumper guard for this truck.

Don't know if this could be related or not

I've wondered about painting them with bed liner, or plasti-dip if you want a smooth finish.

How dare you pay attention to facts.

First, it would probably take longer than that just to remove the panel, second, and more importantly, it's not just a single layer of steel, it's bonded to another sub panel, I think you can see some of the adhesive left on the SS from where it peeled away from the underlying panel. Bottom...

Machinists don't usually work on sheet metal.

You could park next to something solid like a large metal pole, put a block of wood against the truck and use a hydraulic bottle jack against the pole pushing on the block and try to jack against it to see if that moves it back into position.

You mean like a black oxide finish? Should be possible.

" Tesla Motors, Inc. (Nasdaq:TSLA), a manufacturer of highway-capable fully electric vehicles and electric vehicle powertrain components, today announced its initial public offering of 13,300,000 shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $17.00 per share. The shares will begin...

I wonder if a gear stripped or if the motor burnt out. That big wiper puts a lot of force on the motor when wiping, especially at highway speeds. Has anyone tried turning on the wiper while standing near the wiper and listening for sounds? Just curious.

I didn't, he was a different person when I first invested back in 2011. I still don't think he's a "loser", as I've clearly and repeatedly stated I think he's lost focus, is off mission, and is mostly a drag on the brand in recent years.

Unlikely, a slight bit of rake isn't going to meaningfully change the height of the bumper.

Yes not being able to see out your windshield is a safety issue ?
