Ah, missed that. I’ve watched videos on YT that test the strength of different bolt grades - pretty cool to watch. Looks like they spec’d the wrong grade bolt for the CT.
yup, basic physics 101 - classical mechanics.
That being said, usually things are overbuilt by at least 20%. Question is, did the wheels and tires introduce greater than 20% force? I doubt it. I think that stamped upper control arm is garbage.
Not a fan of working in the front seat - steering wheel is there and the sun can be annoying. I’ll just wait a decade for the Tesla Van to come out 🤣
Seriously! They are basically all over $100K now. Ferdinand must be rolling over in his grave. Fun fact: he made a battery electric vehicle in 1900. Wayyyy ahead of Tesla 🤣.
The CT isn’t going to work for my long distance travel that I do on a regular basis. However, a Model Y will work to replace my wife’s vehicle so I’ll probably go with one of those (she says the CT is too flashy for her to drive).
