My apologies for not getting back to you. My bike was stolen from campus and I haven't been on here for a while. Too depressing. Hope the mod is going well for you. I didn't experience any problems with this mod. Full disclosure I live in Southern Ontario so it's very flat, but we get our fair share...

the good ole boys will catch on, with proper exposure.. https://scontent.fric1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/fr/cp0/e15/q65/78564093_2882365188463283_5649766020299096064_o.jpg?_nc_cat=109&efg=eyJpIjoidCJ9&_nc_ohc=0qxnFnAnCs0AQlkd4U_8Rf80ZDO7AFqRiqhKRgE2WKBfSfXj-Q29B_glQ&_nc_ht=scontent.fric1-2.fna&oh=bc...

Now I'm seeing a trend on YT towards "acceptance", as if this roll-out was some sort of traumatic life event we are learning to cope with. I'm still in the "denial" stage. Aesthetics aside, I have a feeling insurance rates on the CT are going to be outrageous. Tesla's manufacturing process has been ...

I'm currently an armchair enthusiast looking to learn more about the relationship between a motors power and the controller driving it. For example if I wanted to put a Nissan leaf motor in a small SUV like a ford escape, I can calculate the rpms needed after the read diff. to get the top speed I w...

There were a few growing pains with my BBSHD but once I replaced the gaskets I haven't had any problems since. And I'm running it a 40A. I've only got about 4000km on mine but they seem pretty bullet proof. If you're running 30A you'd probably want the more robust BBSHD, but the BBS02 seems to be a ...

Yeah, it's all marketing- normal buying public has no idea about it, and focuses on substance and style. Nothing special- every company does that. This truck is not geared towards the Good Ole' Boys and never was. It's geared towards suburbanite warriors- people who want to be different in some way...

^^^^^ +1..and the same goes for the idiot who made a big noise about “30x cold rolled” S steel. There is nothing unique about a 30 pass cold rolling process. Most car body steel sheet will have a similar number of “Cold ” rolling mill passes. (“ Cold”..is a relative term in a steel mill ! ) I haven...

I must be getting old, but I'm going to smack the next person that says "stainless steel alloy". It's redundant and it makes people sound like a stupid newb. I keep hearing people say it like Musk invented a new element on the periodic table and it's annoying AF.

but if they already sell more than they can make, they don't need to gaf what anyone else thinks. Well that's the crux of it right there. I was thinking contractors wouldn't be that interested in purchasing one but I have to say they might make for great advertising. Talk about a rolling billboard...

https://amp.theguardian.com/technology/2019/nov/23/elon-musk-tesla-cybertruck-launch-windows-steel-balls Chalk up another one for the comeback kid. :mrgreen: I would love to know how many people are ordering because they think this is the wave of the future, and how many are ordering based on the f...

your theory...[/url] uh-huh. Well spinningmagnets is a genius so I wouldn't expect less. More proof my theory is probably correct. As for the rest, I did grow up in the county. I'm having a bit of trouble following you but I gather "tough sell" would be a bit of an understatement? If that's your po...

I think there's two important points to remember; gas is a business write off for a lot of truck owners and while towing capacity is important we all know how it kills range on EV's. These go a long way when I ask myself Why? they would reveal this truck the way it is. I don't think this was ever in...

Any technical oddity in press releases if often a sign of bullshit and wapor ware. The press release itself is just a fraud and the intent is raising investment capital. It's not a press release it's an article on the paper published in Advanced Materials: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10...

I'm thinking maybe this is a marketing scheme. Tesla seems to have low production volumes at first. Maybe they took this into account and figured it would initially appeal to a smaller market anyways. If the specs are as good as they say that's what's going to draw current ICE truck owners over, not...

"First fully rechargeable carbon dioxide battery with carbon neutrality" Lithium-carbon dioxide batteries are attractive energy storage systems because they have a specific energy density that is more than seven times greater than commonly used lithium-ion batteries. However, until now, scientists h...

i have to laugh & feel a little sorry for the canadian delegation gov reps who attend all these world climate conferences. they have to sit there & listen to all the doom & gloom prognostication of warmer winters all the while thinking to themselves "yeah that would be just terrible". sux4u austral...

And where is the software/firmware controlling the motor going to run then? In the Cloud??? You can still have an equivalent of an ECU with an OTA update capability... *sigh Hyundai has an app that will allow owners to change their car programming with their phone. For 2 decades this was basically ...

. I truly think you are arguing for the sake of arguing.... :bigthumb: :bigthumb: He wont admit to it ,..but he has the characteristics of a Troll.. ....Trolling is defined as creating discord on the Internet by starting quarrels or upsetting people by posting inflammatory or off-topic messages in ...

"design is design", well thanks for clarifying that... I'm not sure what you're on about any more. I tell you a sample piece of lifting equipment is destructively tested with failure point at 50 tonnes and you reply telling me metal parts fail at the yield point. You're still on about this? Design ...

A half dozen reputable traditional bike shops where I am, no one has a spoke threader. Only a single ebike store has one. That's sad. I guess it's a sign of the times. With the garbage big box bikes it's easier and cheaper to buy a new wheel, and for the more expensive stuff you order it made. Is t...

That isn't my point, my point is why is the base car de-tuned? It isn't. The plus model is tuned to match the $10K in performance parts. Again, it's not just with supercars. VW does this with a lot of their cars (base Golf vs GTI), Volvo did this with their old 2.4 I5, newer BMWs, and rumor has it ...

You have a conveniently selective memory Go back and reread a few of the previous pages where various posters have provided links to sites, vendors, articles , etc of people providing upgraded components, controllers, motors, , complete drive trains for Tesla, and Leaf ( the two most numerous EVs) ...

So you admit that the only difference is a tune? No, there's high performance parts on the plus that aren't on the base model. THAT'S WHY IT COSTS MORE MONEY. This is insane, you're talking super cars, limited production and 2% more hp. It's pure fantasy, this is not how the real world works. Don't...

Most reputable bicycle shops have a spoke threader. I think good ones run about $100. My guess would be they don't have the gauge of spoke and are too lazy and too stupid to source them.

No, it isn't. I have no idea why you continue to argue me about this specific point when it has very little to do with the main post. The engines of both the Base and Plus models are IDENTICAL save for software. I think I went over your head here. You say the base model is de-tuned, I say the plus ...
