Interesting. I'm a chemist who at times worked with radioisotopes. Tc 99 is long lived isotope, and a weak beta emitter with no gamma ray. So , at a low concentration it should be fine.
If you are deeply concerned ... remember you have a lot of potassium in your body and that is radioactive too!
Off road capability - in my area it's 2 track roads through forests - lots of low lying branches and bushes to scratch regular paint. Stainless we can brush out the scratches. Has great ground clearance too
"Don't match hardnesses on mating surfaces". I would make it out of engineering polymer myself and coat or pigment to whatever color you wanted. Save some $ and weight.
So I'm #54,210, ordered the morning (EST) after reveal. Based on Sandy Munro's video I believe it's entirely possible Tesla will tool up for 6 figure CT production.
I'd rather not have outsiders looking at whatever I have in the bed, oh excuse me, vault. So I'd use vinyl graphics to accentuate the triangularity of the upper structure.
Work hardened 3 series stainless can be weakly ferromagnetic. Wouldn't count on a sign sticking though.
A chartible organization I volunteer for had the use of some F-150's for an event. Found out that magnetic signs they had don't stick to aluminum body panels. Nobody thought of that...
Don't like it either. Looks like it was designed by a commitee rather than the work of one artisan. Here's a roof design that works if the peaked roof has to go. If the windshield has to curve, make it so slight that at a casual glance it still looks flat. Love the agressive treads too and I...
1/8" of work hardened 3XX series stainless should stop a standard velocity 9 mm just like the demo showed. Whether a "Nato" 9 mm would penetrate is debatable. I'd expect a 357 FMJ would zip through.
In the final product I would expect the wording to be "up to 1/8" thick".
TBH, bulletproof isn't...
You get points for creative thinking. At first I thought you lived in a mcmansion then I counted floor boards and found it will fit in my living room. Not quite in my kitchen.. But three fit in the basement.
Just hoping the dual motor has an extended range option - cold weather, highway speeds, long distances between charging stations makes 300 marginal. I don't need supercar acceleration or 14000 lbs of tow. Or paying higher insurance and registration fees because of extra MSRP.
