That is what I was thinking. Keep a roll of Gorilla Tape or similar onboard, and slap on a piece or 2 before offroading. It is only a matter of peeling it off before recharging, and putting on a new piece only if more offroading will follow.
Wet surfaces? I will also keep a roll of those...
Most walls, including in garages, consists of drywall over 2x4's 16" on-center. Unless you beef up the wall, any wall climber will become a wall crusher.
The first song I'll play will probably be the Double Dare theme song.
What I play might depend on the weather or the time of year. Hot, sunny, windows down? Anything by the band Bride! Stryper is also a contender.
During the Christmas season? Select tracks from A Christmas Album by Amy Grant (my...
That will require some seriously strong magnets. When dealing with average everyday raindrops, I do not see any issues. Snow could cause problems, especially when starting up with a blanket of snow and ice in the morning. There is also the risk of theft. Magnets strong enough to overcome all...
Read the title and started thinking, if this all happened a dozen years ago, many folks by now will probably be asking "Will the CT's computer come preloaded with Duke Nukem Forever?". because it sure seems like it.
I agree with Dusty and his optimism.
I've watched this video yesterday:
And today, I was wondering, has any car's computer had a hiccup due to cosmic rays?
Any reports of Tesla's cars getting bit-flipped?
Would the CT's SS exterior make it any less likely? Seems not much, given that some rays already pass through the atmosphere...
This video explains it well:
Edit: Turns out Crissa beat me by 15 minutes. I had to watch the video first, to make sure it actually applies to the topic at hand.
Exactly what it says on the tin.
I tried finding the answer with a search engine, but all I found was stuff about charging non-Tesla cars at Tesla Superchargers.
If this has already been answered, please post the URL to that thread, or merge this one.
Despite that being a seemingly common movie trope, that is a complete disqualification when testing biometric security systems. "Will not work with severed thumbs", or anything like it, will have to be a selling point, just to discourage crooks who might think of it.
It is possible. It would include a truckload of complexity, both in hardware and in software.
The main source of the complexity will be that each wheel will have to turn to a different angle, so that all the wheels will trace out concentric circles.
If an autobody expert and a computer nerd put...
The more I think about it, the more I am having my doubts. You are probably right, anionic1.
Something I have noticed in the pictures, and no one else seemed to have mentioned, are what appears to be tie-down points in the side walls, near the corners.
With those, there is little need for T-slots.
I understand there is little evidence of T-slots. Hence, my hypothesis.
I do not see forklifts being a problem. Every CT owner will just have to tell any forklift operators to watch what they are doing. The door to the underbed compartment would be a greater concern.
I would never think the bed...
T-slots are probably one of those things that is not on the prototype, but will be included standard in production. The ends of the slots will probably have ramps to facilitate removal of debris. Like in the sketch below:
This would also help with the insertion of fasteners.
