Brake based torque vectoring also wears your brakes down in situations when you want to split torque 60/40 or 80/20. Then you have the brake squeezing enough to slow the wheel but not enough to lock it, causing lots of heat and brake wear and “wasted” energy. My car uses brake-based torque...

Good video, subscribed. My only concern with sleeping in the vault while autopilot is driving is what will happen in case of an accident? I just ordered a small lightweight teardrop camper from mountain goat trailers. The nicest aspect of these is that we can keep it loaded with all our...

Oh, one other issue. I decided to look up the H1 dimensions and they really aren’t that close to the CT. Even if Elon shrinks everything by 3%, the CT will be a whole meter longer with 0.4m longer wheelbase , meaning on average 0.3m or 1’ longer overhangs at each end. That is going to give much...

Totally agree with your video! I would say try to edit them down some. I have time for 10-minute YouTube breaks, but not 30... Still, thanks for making these - you are an asset to our community!

Long post since I have lots to say :-) First I love the story of a Volt rock crawling in NAZ. I’ve noticed that the state troopers here close the roads any time there is a fatal accident, far more than other states where the goal is to open a lane ASAP. This can be very inconvenient since there...

Actually reading about Land Rover Terrain Response it sounds like they have a locking front and rear differential that can be adjusted intelligently. They have also added a “twinster” system on the Evoque that is also used on my Focus RS to provide torque vectoring to each rear wheel. It is more...

Rivian has a motor for each wheel which seems ideal for off-road traction. CT gives us the option of 1-3 motor so there will always be a motor powering 2 wheels. Any idea how this is managed? Other Teslas have an open diff, which I think has an e-diff function of braking the slipping wheel to...
