I was gifted one of those second hand too. It lasted one session of being lovely and hard to work with before being kicked to the curb.

It worked fine for the like three hours total I've run it, until it didn't. Honestly I'm not planning to spend big money on the next one when I do need it.

Recommend finding something with better pressure control if you find yourself, like I did, having to hose out 12 cubic feet of human poo poo

I posted this over in CA but I think it'll be funny here too. Can you guess the mother casting that birthed this little bundle of joy?  XR200R RH crankcase, crank bearing pocket

Bajaha posted:They are! Due to the relative ease and speed of stealing them due to not necessitating opening the hood, high value / quality, and apparently being a decent grow light for your other enterprise. Is the latch that easy to break on them? I remember the 996 (and a lot of other VAG vehicles) has the same exact release mechanism and it wasn't ever a theft problem. They were a little finnicky to get back in properly, though, is that what makes them easy to steal? Hey everybody, learn to install headlights!

Dirt Road Junglist posted:Yeah, given Tesla's overall QC, I have to wonder if they bothered to take the operating range of, y'know, all the temperatures of just the North American continent into account. I have been in an environmental test house with Tesla engineers (Quantas in SJ) so I'm gonna say they do. I'd be perfectly okay with a GFRP suspension part. If you have this much issue with stressed, safety critical composites, I'd suggest you don't fly. bull3964 posted:Though, you have that issue with traditional manufacturers as well. THIS. I can recall at least a few welded-box control arms I've seen where theres cracks along the welded that pass right through pits or rust.

Another one, I did the brakes on my wife's Volvo, surprisingly the focus-based S40 wasn't the main failure but the CV boot had popped off at the big end. No damage and I repacked it and replaced the clamp ring but the mating-ends of the clamp were bent apart. Best guess a rock nailed it at just the right point to weaken the clamp which slipped off.

I don't think it's the composite itself we're having the issue with, it's the competence/reputation of Tesla engineers that we're questioning and their ability to have properly designed the part taking in the full range of climates it may operate in and the stresses it'll be experiencing, especially considering that other well established automakers haven't done this style of suspension component out of similar materials which leads us to believe there's a reason for that. Either durability, manufacturability, lack of engineering resources for development, cost/benefit, or some other unknown. With a 15% reduction in weight vs a conventionally constructed control arm, I would have expected to see similar parts at least on high end halo cars where cost is less of an issue and absolute performance / dick waving is the goal. As far as I'm aware this is a first in this application so I'm skeptical that Tesla got it right right out of the gate, myself and others are just voicing our concerns. I personally have more confidence in the aerospace sector to have thoroughly tested and proved a design before implementing it in production than from a tech company masquerading as an automotive manufacturer. There, that's a little but less MUH METAL

Or, really, what Bajaha said. I know Tesla is doing things well with the battery/drivetrain side, but I'm fundamentally skeptical of the idea that they're beating established automakers at their own game on the parts of the car that are just traditional car stuff.

Comin' in juuuust a little hot. Did he even *try* to slow down? I'm thinking someone isn't familiar with the track.

Easy peaassyyyy ohhh fuuuuuuuuuck" I like how red car slows down and starts a u-turn to go help right on corner exit so if anyone else fucks up his car is gonna get demolished.

So not only does the Ferrari stop right in the line of fire, they get out of their car to run right towards where an out of control car just flew into a wall on a live race track.

Even though its a plane sound, I have the last several moments of "On The Run" by Pink Floyd going through my head, culminating in the car hitting the wall.
