I'm sure before launch they will have double and single din mounts shown, that you will be able to buy, and probably files available to download if you want to customize and print your own or order it from a service.

Not to try keeping this alive past when it should die, but the numbers in parentheses weren't in the article, so they might have been a math error in the reply.

I would think it would. Considering they plan a cargo version that would be what you want with the windows blacked out or just having opaque panels in their place, and they try to reuse parts wherever possible. Looking at the photos posted today, it looks like the rollbar seen here may be the...

High voltage in combustion might be the ignition system? No, that's not what it is saying. Of all EV breakdowns drivetrain is 18% Of all ICEV drivetrain is 10% Overall out of 1000 EVs there were 4.2 breakdowns Out of 1000 ICEV there were 10.4 You have to multiply those to get the number of...

Modern ICEV have even more going on electrically than EVs, they have multiple computers that control most of the mechanical bits, including fuel, transmission, emissions, etc. So the electronics of an EV aren't going to make it more vulnerable to failure than the ICEV. The ICEV has all that...

I tried for a bit to find the source of that, most mentions of it have no source, and I can't find it on the start rescue site. I figured if I could find the source, it might have more data.

It would be trivially easy to go nuts with the wraps. You can as shown here go tie died, you could do any camo pattern, zebra stripes or other animal prints, there are already rolls of wrap available they call holographic, but it's just a basic diffraction in it that gives a rainbow effect. You...

That's a whole system way beyond what many cars come with. Those of us driving economy cars likely just have the door speakers unless we have added more. Door speakers are down near your feet, and there is plenty of space in the dash for speakers in this truck. In truck configuration, there's...

I don't think any of these events are going to be good sources for finding out "up to date" or new information. The reps aren't going to be the engineers designing, and what they know is going to be the same stuff we know. When Slate decides to release new info, these reps will find out the same...

One reason for early EVs to have had more tire problems was they were often sold with tires picked for low rolling resistance above all else, to get a bit more range. Push a tire choice to an extreme, and it suffers in other areas, like tread wear.

The load isn't spread among the parts, they aren't all working in parallel to do the work. More like they are links in a chain. It's only as strong as the weakest link. Somewhere someone had some info on how much the motor unit likely cost, anyone know where that was?

Quality between bluetooth speakers from different companies varies, a lot. Anker was the first I know of that came out with speakers that sounded good, and sounded like a larger speaker, in like 2014. The right bluetooth speaker should do well in a truck, a positive is the enclosed space, but a...

The test, on that particular road, is part of the standard test to certify tow ratings. Must be done with temp over 100, with max payload and max trailer weight, with a bunch of rules about the trailer, and has to get from stop to a certain speed in a certain time limit on a grade, along with...

My previous car was a 2000 ford focus, had the engine replaced, piston knock, took extra time, once they got the right engine, and got it installed, the computer wouldn't work with it despite getting if flashed by the dealer a few times, so that had to be replaced too, at that point would have...

Searching for that bulb, I'm finding 6v offroad use bulbs. Unless that is wrong, and it's a different wagner H6006 you are talking about, the voltage is a problem, and not being certified for on road use is a problem.
