If he would have gone slower on the deep one, we might of seen how the CT can float.
Like this though, with enough speed (a bit to much) at least he didn’t lose traction as the water on the front was pushing the front down at the same time, and the wake on the nose was displacing the water...
The wrap wull helps against surface rust, but surface rust is only superficial and can be easily removed so long you don't leave it on the there for months.
The wrap is obviously not as tough or hardwearing as the Stainless.
Also a dark colour wraps will add to air conditioning load both...
I've driven accross that pass last year with MYP.
Lots of free range on the way down as I was slip streaming a Sprinter van that was in a hurry. Was fun.
But that pass is higher than any hill we can climb by hand and foot, on the west side of Australia by a large margin. Come to WA if you want...
Have you tried adjusting the ABRP wh/mile rate for CT manually, to see what range and trips you can do with the consumption you are expecting from a CT? I do that all the time, since CT was released.
I think there are three questions that needs to be asked here to identify the difference.
1) if a full lock maneuver to avoid an obstacle occurs seldomly, then
2) the more meaningful question would be how much does it lag to reach a steering angle to achieve the maneuver, and
3) does the SbW...
It's physically impossible to double the energy density with that NCM chemistry.
The cost also depends on the materials used. Apparently they didn't use silicon to boost capacity.
Battery yield, aka how many pass QC, is a dominant factor, and pushing capacity leads to more cells not making QC...
Possibly.
The statement is fairly vague to begin with, but the critical thing here is cost, not necessarily energy density, although they are partially inter-related.
There is more space available in the CT floor for more cells, but this was not required to reach the 300mile target for both...
Possibly, but we have heard in one of the calls that batteries have met their targets. What exactly that means we are not sure.
There is a clear difference between vehicle component cost and capital expenditure required to assemble and manufacture the product. The latter is obviously a large...
A $500 option, that would severely impede the consistency of driving behaviour between Cybertrucks? Selling less 4WS increases the cost per 4WS unit. Mass production means scale reduces cost, and doesn't increase it. Options means more costly and complex assembly lines, and TWO sets of parts...
You haven't seen a long argument from me yet...
But none of the points you bring up are proof in anyone's pudding, not even your own.
It's much harder to believe that 4WS was the primary cause for the price increase (as described above), rather it was mostly a general market adjustment...
You started at a "monster truck" level of performance, now we are down to payload differences between the axles? You do know that most of the braking, and therefore force, is applied to the front axle? Payload is a static load, dynamic loads are assessed with a 3x margin.
They need tie rod ends...
The front axle needs to have the same specs. So you don't have to make the rear end a "monster truck" version. But you also don't need to mod it and then abuse it like they did.
It will take some time before people get used to the rear steering idea. I think all cars should have it nd I"e...
Yeah seems like a bit of wasted space. Lots of volume there, and larger things like bottles etc, might fall out of there and get stuck under your brake pedal.
I also don't really like the fact that the design is comfortable for people put their feet there, instead of near the brake pedal, where...
Less likely to break. Not impossible to break.
The wider wheel offset of those aftermarket wheels increases the length of the lever arm on the suspension linkages, which exerts more force on them than the standard wheels.
