*not an engineer* but my understanding is that both types of structures involve steel for its sheer and tension value while certain portions are steel reinforced concrete, which has higher compression value and fire tolerance, so for areas with foundries and gantry cranes, etc. but its more...
i think you're more vulnerable to scratching with a clear wrap than you are with the exposed cold rolled stainless
btw where are you getting info about order locality?
well, they sold 500k last year, seek to grow by 50% per year, and with this discount, people gunna snatch those Ys up like nobody's business. i dont see these credits lasting ling enough for ct :'(
I'm really glad about the size reduction as long as it doesnt affect the size of the bed. I don't want some giant thing on the road, i just need to get the job done. Pick-ups today are unnecessarily large.
depending on how much space is needed for the rolled up tonneau cover, might be able to store it in the roof above the midgate and delete the vertical tracks all together. best part is no part
are you suggesting that the tonneau slides in front of the mid gate instead of into the midgate?
way i understand it is that there's three options for the tracks:
1. into the mid-gate (as the CT prototype has it)
if we get a mid-gate, the tracks must be integrated into the hinged mid gate...
its more about the number of moving parts in a system and their durability over time and use. (we have all witnessed that alignment happens to be one of the greatest manufactuing challenges ~ at least for Tesla)
the cybertruck is explicitly designed for the greatest possible durability, longest...
haha, love it!
munro: "i rather just listen to what you have to say - they say i talk too much... by the way, uh heres some random 5 min story about something irrelevant that you already know"
Right, obviously different tech, but Im just pointing out that regulators seem ready to approve driverless cars on public roads as soon at the tech is ready. the fact that it's old news just adds validity to that point.
Its not so much this 'at the speed of law' thing that we had all assumed. I...
