it's not very common, i'd like to make that clear. most cars are designed so the steering wheel doesn't fall off.

I do wonder how long those parts tend to last after installation, given the total lack of process control. I've watched dozens of those videos and I think I've seen one micrometer, ever. And god knows what the metallurgy is like when they start with a wheelbarrow full of scrap and melt it down in a sand pit on the side of the road. I guess if the crankshafts are all going into 1950s era engines with like 5:1 compression ratios and 2000 RPM redlines, they can get away with a lot of looseness that wouldn't otherwise fly.

Because you just re-manufacture/re-labor it. Still amazing to watch. There's a terrifying one I've seen of people remanufacturing lead acid batteries with the sum total of safety gear consisting of a pair of sandals.

Brilliant! Also, brush painted... edit: oh dear god, you meant the body. I hadn't got there yet. I saw the sanding on the frame (which I thought was goofy...) Also like how all the engine mounts are bespoke one-offs. My knees hurt just watching them squat and build everything on the ground. edit: need a little bit of lube and a bit less pressure on your frame drill there, hoss.

But hell, the construction and process aint really that much different! A lot more sledgehammering tho.

Inhaling brake dust is a bad idea, asbestos or not. Or rather, any kind of dust will gently caress up your lungs given enough exposure.

But hey, I'm sure building more EVs will solve this somehow.

I mean, even carbon fiber will gently caress you up trimming with a grinder and no PPE. When I took a composites class in college, we did any of our trimming with respirators and under a hood with dust collection on the tools. Our professor had zero tolerance for loving around.

well admittedly it is somewhat cooler that it's an air-driven resonating tube like a musical instrument, instead of just a speaker playing a recording of an engine. the sound is still meaningless, equivalent to just playing a vuvuzela whenever the car is driving around, but at least it isn't totally fake, if you know what i mean? i still think that if you want an electric car to have an "exhaust note," it should be generated with something like a mechanic's stethoscope that sits right on the motor, connected to an amplifying horn like on a gramophone. really magnify that low-speed harmonic hum and high-speed tie-fighter scream. that could sound very cool and the stethoscope/horn system would mean the sound is honest. this dodge thing is maybe a step in that direction?
