Re: Covid Restrictions

Eric, you're just verbalizing what any thinking man knows at this point. "Trust the science". We know scientifically that if you have fewer that 2 comorbidities, you are very unlikely to die from COVID. If you're a child, the chances of dying from COVID are astronomical. A doctor can kill ...

Big difference. Get some matching wheels.

Re: electric brake booster?

That's not how they work.

When leisurely cruising, you can use the regen to effectively brake, but during high speed and emergency braking, those big brakes are necessary. You might remember a few years ago the model 3 had the worst braking of any car in its segment.

Re: electric brake booster?

Regenerative braking doesn't stop a vehicle, it causes parasitic drag, but it doesn't stop the car. I come off the highway sometimes and shift into full regenerative braking mode to speed charge the batteries. If I didn't apply the brakes the vehicle would coast for a mile. Tesla's are not Prius'. P...

Re: electric brake booster?

There's beauty in simplicity. The vacuum powered diaphragms are just that. I've been around several hydraulic and electric powered boosters, they work well, but they're a pain in the ass when they need service. Our hybrid Lexus uses its 24volt circuit to power a bunch of accessories including the AB...

Re: The Hunt!/Eric's new dump.

In my experience painting in this humidity I haven't collected that much water in my separator. I like the idea but I wonder if it might be overkill for your plasma. If you decide you gotta have it I'll be paying attention to what you do.

Were your wires getting brittle? OEM wire? I also hate the stock decklid connector.

Re: The Mule rides again (sort of) - pics.

I've gotten out in the real world to see how keeping a garage/workshop/equipment yard/factory/plant/fab/cleanroom neat and organized dramatically improves the efficiency of the work that needs to happen in those places. It's an absolute burden off your shoulders when everything that's in the way is...

Need a 120mph speedo

Mine appears to have died. Anyone have an extra lying around. Pretty sure I've got one packed away in the attic but don't want to go find it. I just need the speedo side, not the entire cluster, but if it's easier to ship the entire thing I'm game.
