    Low corner - leaky air strut?

    That's all well and good but WHY don't they have any limit stops on the suspension? That sounds like madness to me.

    Front Driver's Steering Knuckle FRACTURED while driving at 55mph [Video]

    I'm just wondering why Tesla doesn't fit rubber bump stops on the suspension. All it takes is a pinhole air-leak or a faulty compressor and everything turns to poop! Air Suspension failure with very unpleasant results Submitted by DBlueS85 on Thu, 2015-07-30 12:25 First the good part: Tesla...

    I don't doubt that you are capable of bolting on that part safely. What I doubt is that the part is strong enough for the purpose. Have you actually read this thread and seen all the reports of these same parts breaking?

    Petition for government subsidies for EV’s

    The fuel tax credit scheme is an almost A$6 billion subsidy each year to industry. ... The fuel tax credit scheme rebates excise tax to those businesses that consume diesel on non-public roads That sounds quite fair and reasonable to me. And it is NOT a subsidy. It is a reduction in tax that...

    Petition for government subsidies for EV’s

    I don't think you need to drag the dictionary into the argument. Surely by definition a subsidy is a taxpayer funded payment towards a purchase. A tax concession is a reduction in the amount of tax that would normally be payable.

    It has been reported that Elon Musk pays zero tax on the money he gets by borrowing against the shares he is given. Elon Musk fact-checked Wikipedia and said he'd go bankrupt if his companies failed. He could be right — and it shows how complicated CEO compensation has become. On Sunday, Musk...
