I guess you don't need Sentry mode and a Dash Cam to keep people from Keying your car or cutting you off!Just a few more guesses
Hence my reference to expecting the "hub casing to be able to handle more torque "
Yeah... I'd suspect however that the reaction torque being constrained by the mount points on the edges of the casing would be more than manageable. As has been pointed out, the HUMVEE does it seemingly just fine...
I agree with you that sometimes design changes face resistance and then become standard. However, there are other times when design changes face resistance because they are really not a great idea. There are plenty of failed inventions (e.g. steam automobiles), and some that make just a small niche markets (e.g. 3 wheeled cars). Then there are some which are just too impractical (e.g. falcon doors, even Elon admitted they were a mistake on the X, didn't learn from DeLorean) - heck, those doors were a large reason why I never bought an X, even though I was waiting for it - when the X first came out the doors were super slow and even on a sunny day in an open parking lot took retries to open or close - my wife compared the speed of X doors to power sliding minivan doors and said "no way the kids and I are waiting for those things to open when it rains".
So, it remains to be seen what the cybertruck will be, and whether its unusual innovations will take over the industry or go down history as a warning to others.
I’d suggest there is a gap between not-complaining-about-something and falling-in-love-with-something, or even wanting-something.I never claimed nor implied that all different features were an improvement, just gave a well known example of something that many people "didn't want", including myself, until they actually used it and found it superior.
Except the Model 3 doesn't really have the speedo in the middle of the vehicle, it's just slightly to the right of the driver. Again, as with the touch screen keyboard, a lot of people complained about it when announced yet very few did so after they've used it.
No wired earbuds for me! I use wired over-the-ear headphones. So there.I'm interested in trying out your time machine so I can go back to the era where people used wired earbuds.
Logistics issues delivering to different parts of the world are not production constrains. You can find inventory models in the US no problem. When they used to be production constrained, there was no inventory models and used ones went for more than new on ebay.
They say Rivian is a versatile truck, wait until you see this:
When motorized automobiles first came out, they looked a lot like horse drawn carriages. As designers came to understand the differences, the designs changed, improvements were made to suit the purpose of motorized vehicles over the horse drawn carriage. Lots of left over things from carriages were on automobiles, for years, just because people are resistant to change, and designers and engineers hadn’t quite figured everything yet about these new contraptions.
Yes they are VERY easy to remove on Teslas. (designed for ease-of-removal, if you ask me)Yeah more government regulations! Does anyone know if these sounds are created by a dedicated speaker(s) that could have an unfortunate accident?
Thank you for this well-reasoned post. My point is that I am fine with changes that take advantage of the EV drivetrain. I am not fine with making something look like 70's sci-fi or something an 8-year-old (Elon) drew while they were bored in class (meeting).
In the case of the former, when someone says, "that looks weird" I can say, "yeah, they did that to allow this...." and then show them the cool new thing that the vehicle can do that an ICE can't. But if it's weird for the sake of being weird, then it's just weird and (most) people will be turned off.
2 more days......
Yes, if it kept the super low dash and the smaller steering wheel. I love both.Would you pay extra for a car without the instrument cluster if you had a choice?
What about coconuts sounds?I wish there was a type of noisemaker that was somehow not annoying
but still did well to alert the visually impaired of an approaching vehicle.
My desire for a quiet car doesn't seem to override someone else's need for safety,
but surely there's some reasonable middle ground.
