Waffle House posted:I hate to apply the brakes, but as severe as that looks, that's actually pretty standard. My Mazda has a similar multi-link setup with that alarming-looking ball joint right up top precariously positioned over the tire tread. Pretty sure your Mazda 1) wasn't intended to go off-roading and all-terraining, and 2) isn't a seven thousand pound behemoth using the exact same kinds of parts meant for a vehicle half its weight. priznat posted:Yah seconding this, some years of the RAV4 had a really distressing looking pokey part extremely close to jabbing into the sidewalls. But for that to ever happen a bunch of poo poo would have had to have broken where you’re pretty hosed already. It’s not an unusual sight although it totally makes sense why people would think it was kinda messed up. RAV4 maxes at 3600, cybbrtrukk is 6400 ~ 6800, and the tweeter was remarking that there's no space for aftermarket larger tires, a common thing for trucks that go off-road(increases traction and wheel contact areas). Also none of it is in any way shielded from debris or ice, and it's quite the opposite; since it sticks out and isn't well-rounded anything high-speed or excessively not-tiny is more likely to snag.

What do you think Elon's "peak" was? When those 2 rockets landed side-by-side I thought that was pretty damned cool but it has been 100% downhill since then.

Some cars (Maybe just Audi the US, maybe Volvo and Mercedes too?) actually have DLP projector headlights. The biggest thing that I have noticed is with LED projector lamps in my last car is the visual cutoff can be distractin. My BMW had a very pronounced like neon blue edge cut off that could be disorienting but I haven't noticed in my new Ford. I did drive home in pretty thick fog tonight and one thing that I hadn't noticed before is the projector headlights looked like lightsabers shooting out of the front of my car which was fairly distracting.

That was after the child submarine incident, and there’s no way that his peak was after the child submarine incident. My proposal is the day that the check he got for PayPal cleared.

Every other milestone in his career is colored by, "but actually someone else did that, he just threw money at it." Including the Twitter acquisition, minus what he personally did to it, and I don't know that I'd call that a peak (except for drug abuse).

The first Rogan podcast, maybe? That was the point where I think he transcended being the dorky rocket-and-electric-car guy and became the pot-smoking "cool" billionaire that got memed into the mess worshiped by weird nerd bootlickers today. Was that before or after the submarine incident? I honestly don't remember & don't care enough to look it up.

Cybertruck is our IRL ED209. Built by a dumb Corp, completely incapable of handling off -level terrain, kills accidentally, huge, heavy, stainless. Shrieks horribly when overturned, probably

Now we find out there is no tri motor non-beast mode And if you want a tri motor it's $100,000 before options. BEFORE. OPTIONS. Oh and your range has been reduced by 160 miles.

YOURFRIEND posted:Poor people cannot own an electric car because we have nowhere to charge them because we do not own homes I spent over 4 years charging my BMW i3 on a 120v outlet and almost a year charging my Mach-E on the same outlet with zero issues. Like, a standard outlet, the kind that are completely normal on the exterior of houses. People are severely exaggerating the charging problem, plenty of kind of lovely apartment complexes have garages you can rent with 120v outlets inside.
