Elon said the larger 8k ton Gigapress for the CT was needed to accommodate the larger size of the CT body. To me that makes it more clear that, although the exterior of CT will be exoskeleton, the bumper supports, suspension, and most certainly the trailer hitch mounting points, will all be...

My BMW R1200GS has left blinker on left cluster, right blinker on right cluster, press both to cancel. Love the set up.

That was awesome. I own an ex-Greyhound, a 1964 GM PD4106. I don't think I'm allowed to admit here that I love the sound of that supercharged 2 stroke diesel engine......

At work we often have to bolt steel to aluminum. We use a thick mylar tape between the two materials. It works till the mylar ages out.

I think a gooseneck trailer will be fine. A true "5th wheel" trailer will be very tight when turning. I'm sure we'll see plenty of damages CT sails in the future.

Ah, that further supports my guess that new diecast models are in the works.

They aren't cheap but I've seen them on the road.

Was that recently?

My dogs name is Tesla. Poor thing goes into stim overload when I listen to Youtube and podcasts relating to Tesla!

I check the Telsa site every day for a CT diecast. They did lower the price from $250 to $175 on first the S and X diecasts, then 3 weeks ago all the diecasts. I suspect they are clearing out the old inventory of toys for the "new" models of the updated SEXY cars. I *hope* they make a CT...

Ah, Bryan from Oregon! Fellow AOF member! Yes, the Alta is what really opened my eyes to Tesla! I bought the Alta on a whim, then it blew my mind with its performance! It immediately became my favorite motorcycle. When I heard about the CT, and it being stainless steel, I knew it was for...

I hope you're right! I agree that spot welding would be ideal, it's fast, easy and cheap. I hope that Tesla can do that without heat soaking through the SS panels. I have my doubts. Maybe Tesla (or the car industry) has a better solution than spot welding, and better suggestion that I...

This is, indeed, the case. No cracks allowed. With 30 tractors in our fleet, every month one or two are getting a windshield. Definitely a PITA.

This question is a biggie for me. I really hope that the inside door stampings are made of stainless steel. If they aren't, they will eventually rust. I really wonder how the inside door stamping is attached to the 3mm SS door skin. Can't be spot welded without discoloring the outer door...

Yes, employed elsewhere...........

Well look at that. This partially assembled battery module was designed by an ex Tesla battery engineer. The 18650 cells pictured here are epoxied to an aluminum plate that acts as a heat sink. The cells are not removable. Given that, there is no "fixing" a pack with a bad cell. The entire...

I really like this one. It's more "Cybertruck-esque"

It's 14hp. It has a hub motor. It's $5k It's a non-starter. But, "The Crapshoot" is based off an Alta drivetrain. 50hp. Obviously this a one off drag bike, but it would still look awesome in the back of a CT!

Yup. Did you see Sandy Munroe's latest video that dropped today? 2021 M3 panel gaps still WAY off. Paint is much better, though! lol

Um, yeah. 5 panels need to be aligned. Hood and four doors. Here's the issue. Typically the fender is adjusted to the door gap (after the door is properly set). In a normal car there's lots of movement in the front fenders, nose, hood, etc. Most cant see 1mm of panel adjustment. Not...
