Hmmm.
So EVs are pretty simple machines. I think we can all agree on that. Like I am not a mechanic and I can work on these things (well maybe not the tires).
But the problem isn't just that a single component in these things sucks, it's the whole design. That being said, the motors, controllers, axles, sensors, etc, can't all be entirely custom. I would be willing to bet there is a fair amount of useful shit we could "borrow" from unsupervised and unwanted cyber trucks to rebuild them into something much much better.
Like Mechagodzilla?
or Voltron?
Giant Death Bot?
Can we use the plans from the failed MechaStreisand and create a MechaO'Donnell to take on Trumpzilla
More like Mechashiva
So some people can get free Power walls?
I read that as POWER WHEELS and now I want a Tesla scrap powered adult sized ride-on toy.
That's just the BMS and battery really. There's a whole lot more there.
I have a friend that uses salvaged Model Y components to electrify RAM Promaster vans.
See!!!! I knew it was a thing, this is brilliant!
I mean can you take the engine and battery to install on another chasis?
I wonder if a youtube enthusiast mad maxian mechanic got a few free cybertrucks to play with.
I bet he'd strip all the parts and make a few other retrofit EVs. I'd watch it.
No engine, they use motors. Generally 2 or 3 depending on trim level.
Gotcha. Clearly I know more than the average plebian about horseless carriages
It is somewhat pedantic on my part TBH.
Mildly but still a valid correction.
I'm used to far worse comments back in my reddit days.
