I will have to remember that; I am not sure if I would be so accommodating on a repeat encounter.
Here is the spot I took my pics. I measured the shoulder on Google Earth to be 16 FT wide - there was no safety concern apparent where I was parked
1. Fold out solar panels incorporated into the truck (like a spacecraft) with solar DC connectors for stand alone panels
2. 4-wheel steering with HUD
3. Smart Summon mode that backs it up to a trailer and all you have to do is lower the receiver onto the ball.
A matching e-boat on...
Good luck ... see my post of them last week erroneously thinking they are cops and try to kick me off the wide shoulder of the public road next to one of the construction areas
Yeah it was a good 20 feet from the road, on the dirt turnout, with very light traffic --- even with heavy traffic, they couldn't try to pull that stuff, it is not their property .... he was out of line. --- Anyway, I like Zero motorcycles, I want to get one to go with my E-bike ?
Hmmm, well I doubt that getting laser windshield wipers perfected and approved by the DOT; a milestone break thorough approval of camera mirrors in the US; obtaining a safety crash rating; nearly revolutionizing the independent rear suspension system to be able to tow over 5,000 lbs; redesigning...
I had some business in Austin last week, so on the way home I decided to take a look at the Austin Gigafactory construction site. Harold Green Road gives an excellent viewpoint of one of the construction areas, so I parked on the side of the road and got ready to take a few pictures.
Just as I...
Yes I figured there would be brownfields on this project. I imagine they are fast-tracking this project by getting Foundation only permits while they finalize the structural, architectural and MEP designs that will be required to get the factory ready for Temporary Certificate Occupancy (TCO)...
I was in Innsbruck years ago and I loved it. The place was beautiful and very, very clean ... I could live there. .... Come over to the USA, you will love it also.
With those scrapers there, they could be fast tracking with a grading permit only. Even to get to this point, this thing has been going through the engineering, environmental, plan check and permitting for numerous months .... impressive, they've got some hot shot PM's working for them.
I have Google Earth Pro and looked at the historical pics of the site; here's a view from 2003. There was a sand pit in the NE area of the site - let's hope there is not any Brownfield issues.
I see what could be characterized as wetlands and I saw a few large settling ponds that have been...
I do not know the intricacies about vehicle design, tooling, supply chains, crash testing and manufacturing challenges, but I do know about development and construction.
I just cannot see how Tesla can build at least one factory and deliver a truck within 18 MONTHS from now with so much to do...
Good point about the focus groups; however, the technical requirements for any airborne biohazard protection system are numerous with some complexity. I just don’t think it’s economically viable or practical to offer on mass produced vehicles. ?
Crumple zone? Well, there are vans driving around. This should be able to be engineered to be mitigated, along with solving the European front bumper problem with possibly using different European bumpers consisting of a different material
