Something about these discussions people seem to miss
The only "less moving parts" things that EVs have over gas vehicles is generally an engine and a traditional transmission setup. And in a gas vehicle, generally these are not an issue unless there's a defect or mishap which usually falls...
My E46 ate thru gaskets and plastics like there was no tomorrow. My old WJ had 300k+ on it and my E46 had only 220k and was babied prior to me owning it, and after every spirited drive something would break/leak lol.
On the plus side, it was quite modular in many aspects. Water pump in it only...
For long time, until 2022 or so, I used reddit for sim racing recruitment. That site was actively in the process of falling apart.
That sort of behavior wasnt just common there, it was an active tactic people used to stop people from discussing topics they didn't like, including things like...
I've noticed this more and more - increasingly in internet discussing groups, if you point out flaws, issues, problems, concerns with X project there will now always be a subset of People telling you to be quiet.
The guy who posted what he did has every right to. He's clearly here as a fan...
Rich Rebuilds input is about as Valuble to the auto industry as supercar blondie lol.
A youtuber i follow who does pretty big deep dives on scams and tech issues among other things recently made a video about how he was approached by a Chinese agency to do some paid for propaganda - and hes...
It would just be the base base, for like i mentioned before, fleet and SXS replacement. Let the buyer bolt on whatever they wanted. Offer basic hold downs/rings standard. Etc
Could accomplish alot on that side of things
Bed + less styling features up front. A "super stripper" slate.
But alas, too much bed/cab connection. Im sure someone will do it if thisgets off the ground
Something i thought of watching all this.
I wonder what the cost of a flatbed based Slate instead of a bed based slate would be.
Basic steel flatbed frame with simple coating a headache rack. And even less styling features. At $22k maybe?
Edit: upon looking at it the cab and bed seem too...
Point being the EVs are part of that propaganda. The CCP has 2.1 Billion into BYD alone. Its all part of it.
Glad we're on the same page. Let's go back to talking features
Yeah if you don't like people saying we probably shouldn't support or be good to a literal enemy country you should probably put me on ignore. Im guessing this being an EV forum im rhe only one with the guts to speak outside the lines. Unsurprising
This is research lol. Go watch some Serpentza or China Insider.
7 BYD fires a day, and thats the low estimate. Hard to get info when the Chinese govt literally arrests people for posting anything against their EVs. A whole ship just burned off thr coast of Alaska due to Chinese built EVs.
He lost me at the "China leads the way with EVs" it wasnt even worth replying to. China leads the way at lying and paying influencers and media. You can find a myriad of bipartisan sources discussing this. Same as they bring over influences to show off all of their "high tech"
They are rhe most...
