In the 1960's General Motors was trying to get the freight cost down on Vegas to keep them a budget friendly car. At the time, a new Vega had a price tag around $2,000. Engineers from GM and Southern Pacific Railroad came up with the Vert-A-Pac. This allowed 30 cars to be shipped per boxcar instead of 18. Lowering freight costs by up to 40%. GM engineers also designed specific oil baffles to keep oil from spilling along with specially designed carburetors, batteries and added plastic spacers between the powertrain and the chassis to prevent damage.

History

Emira was born to two witches whose families wanted their bloodlines to blend.

Though not in love, her parents tried to make it work, eventually having Emira but once she was brought into it the relationship didn’t really last long.

Her mother never remarried, though she did meet a man that she became involved with

Emira came into her powers at a young age, her mother beginning to teach her and helping her to hone her powers.

Upon graduation (with two years of college already under her belt thanks to dual enrollment), Emira moved to Chicago to attend University of Chicago, earning her undergrad degree, grad degree, and her law degree. It was here that she met her eventual baby daddy, though things didn't end up working out, she's grateful that they stayed cordial for the sake of their son, Axel, whom they share 50/50 custody with. She also met Camila, someone she had known about from back home in her coven but never really actually spoke to. The two hit it off almost instantly and Camila has since become the one constant and important person in her life aside from Axel and Camila's daughter, Karina. Raising their kids alongside each other and opening their partner firm has been nothing less of a dream come true in her opinion.

A year later, Roxy met Jamie Carter after spending an entire day hunting down the man for robbing her small bakery.

About a year ago, Emira was caught by the OEA and sacrificed. Axel has remained in his father's custody and now that she's back, Emira is determined to get her son back as well as put an end to the OEA once and for all, to the point of throwing away her morals to do so.

TL; DR: He bricked the Cybertruck but the F-150 lived

I saw an edit of this video on here earlier and immediately had to go watch it for myself. It's a pretty good video and this guy has enough wild-eyed crazy in him that watching him destroy a vehicle is very entertaining.

The gist of the video is that he pits the Cybertruck against an F-150 in an extreme durability test. Obviously, this is for entertainment mostly and not necessarily a product review, so I felt compelled to add come context to the "flaws" and flaws the vehicles demonstrate.

Disclaimer: I am not a mechanic or an automotive engineer. I do have enough knowledge, however, to add some information to what the video shows. That said, let's go.

Rolling off the flatbed truck without ramps.

The major difference between combustion/"regular" and electric vehicles is not necessarily what fuel they use, but how the engine is composed.

Combustion engines feed fuel into into pistons which allow in a small amount of air in to combine with the ignition flame to begin and maintain the combustion process. These pistons then compress, driving the pressure into the rest of the engine and using the force to create motion. This is why a vehicle, if left in neutral with the brakes off, will drift forward - if the engine is running, combustion is taking place and that forward momentum will be used. These pistons are what mark out a vehicle's V classication - eg. V-4, V-6 and V-8. This V number represents how many of these pistons there are and therefore how much power they can output. V-4s are usually economy cars, mini vans or very small SUVs (think a Ford Fiesta, a Honda Odyssey or a Honda CR-V). V-6s are for more robust cars, SUVs, and light pickup trucks (think a Chrysler 300, a Kia Sorento or a Toyota Tundra). V-8s are the strongest type, and can be put towards speed or hauling, depending on thr design of the vehicle. A Ford Escape, for example, is very fast for an SUV because it is built light and spacious - intended to carry its load inside the body of the vehicle. A Chevrolet Silverado, by comparison, is meant to haul and puts its strength into pulling and torque instead of speed.

Due to the fact that combustion engines have to generate their own energy through the combustion process, these engines are very reliant on "hardware" - ei. physical parts that operate based on physical imput and interaction. The gearbox in your transmission, for example, is made up of actual gears that have to turn and lock into place for the transmission to turn and thus power the axels which spin the wheels.

Electric vehicles have none of this. Since they have no power generation requirement, that space is taken up by batteries and motherboards which fulfil all the roles of various hardware. Why would you need a transmission to turn when the motherboard can command the axels to turn on its own? The trade off is that EVs almost exclusively run on "software" - ei. the onboard computer. This means that their undercarriage has no dangling parts to get snagged or damaged like a CV.

Neither of these things are inherently bad. On one hand, EVs have nothing down there to snag when it rolls off the back of the flatbed. Downside, the high toxic, flammable and delicate batteries are in the undercarriage. Damaged motherboards are also much harder and trickier to replace and repair. CVs have a vulnerable undercarriage, but they're easy parts to replace or can be fixed quickly. Most of the undercarriage of a CV is also not flammable - it's just running hardware and exhaust.

Suspension and ride comfortability.

Suspension refers to the metal coils and hydraulics that take and displace the impact from tires hitting and running over things. Suspension exists on a spectrum from "soft" to "hard", and most vehicles fall somewhere in the middle.

"Soft" suspension is meant for ride comfort - the suspension coil is kept less tense and absorbs more impact, keeping the ride more level and smooth. This is common in luxury cars or brands like Cadillac or Lexus. The downside of this is that it wears your suspension down much faster. They need to be replaced more frequently and it can also be harder on the axels, depending on what you do with it. Speed bumps, if taken unevenly, really fuck soft suspension.

"Hard" suspension is meant for durability - the suspension coil is kept very tense and rigid, displacing the impact more into the body of the vehicle and back into the ground. This makes the ride a lot rockier, but the vehicle itself a lot more stable. Most vehicles with 4 Wheel Drive or offroading capability lean towards hard suspension to preserve the vehicle's integrity and power output.

In the video, the Cybertruck clearly has softer suspension than the hard suspension F-150. This is why the Ford had a rockier ride but the phone didn't go flying when they landed. The Ford is much more resistant to hard impact than the Cybertruck.

Towing and frame construction.

Towing capacity is in part from the horsepower put out by the engine, but also by the integrity of the frame.

Most vehicle's frames are one solid aluminum skeleton, sometimes welded in places but often cast all at once. Trucks, specifically, usually use the "unibody" design with a built-in trailer hitch. This allows the entirety of the frame to carry the weight of the towed object as it would if it were in the bed of the truck. This is what the Ford is doing when it pulls the Cybertruck out of the mud - the entirety of the body is being used to pull.

The Cybertruck's hitch, in contrast, is attached only to the bumpers and not the frame of the vehicle. The bumper was attached to the frame, however, and when it tore off, it caused structural damage to the frame.

Frame damage is critical damage. It destabilizes the entire structure and can actually tear the vehicle apart from within. That metal needs to be reinforced or wholly replaced to be servicable again.

Aluminum vs steel frame.

Most trucks have aluminum frames ans for good reason.

Aluminum has the highest strength to weight ratio second only to titanium, meaning that for how light it is, it is incredibly strong. An F-150 made of aluminum is thousands of pounds lighter than one made of steel and is more durable.

Steel also goes brittle in the cold faster than aluminum, meaning it is more prone to tearing or rending under force when its's cold. (There's a test to determine this called the Charpy Test - go look them up, they're really cool.) Aluminum also rusts slower and less catastrophically than steel. You can see how this would be in issue in the cold or if your vehicle is left outside regularly.

Fibre glass vs steel body.

In the C-4 test, it blew a hole right through the F-150, because obviously. The Cybertruck remained intact, but jammed the door. This is more damning for the Cybertruck than the Ford.

The Ford is designed with safety in mind. The body of the truck is meant to take the impact in the event of a crash instead if the occupants. These manifest as "crumple zones", where the vehicle will let itself be crushed instead of the passengers. Fibre glass is very good at that, so that's what most exterior bodies are made from.

Crucially, they are also intended to be destroyable by first responders. A firefighter responding to a crash can cut through the door of that Ford with a saw pretty easily and extract the occupants. Alternatively, an occupant can force the doors open from the inside too, if necessary.

The Cybertruck is made of sheet steel and therefore much harder to cut through than fibre glass. The impact also jams the door lock, making it impossible to open from the inside. If your truck is on fire after an accident, you better hope the other door still works or you're dying in there. On that note ...

Slamming the doors and breakable windows.

The integrity of the Cybertruck's interior is a joke. What the actual fuck is that. Granted, neither of these vehicles are meant to be slammed like that, but the Ford's doors held together very well in comparison.

That means that even small impacts like slamming the door are being transferred into all the soft, squishy parts of the inside of the Cybertruck whereas the Ford is dispersing it immediately.

He calls out Ford's windows for cracking during this test, but again, that's an intentional design.

You'll notice he was able to grab and wiggle the glass without it breaking apart. That's because the glass is also, like the crumple zones, intended to take an impact on behalf of the occupant. It is designed to crack and spiderweb out BUT NOT shatter. Shattering glass can cause a lot of harm, especially to the eyes and face. Instead, even if it does break apart, it stays in larger chunks.

The Cybertruck, by contrast, does not spiderweb nearly as efficiently as the Ford and does, in fact, shatter in the driver's side window when they're throwing weights at it. It doesn't disperse the impact, it shatters under pressure (despite putting up with a lot of abuse) and it loses integrity in localized spots quite quickly.

If you're in a crash, the Ford's windows won't rupture your eyes with tiny razors.

Pulling strips off the Cybertruck.

This got me. This was the worst part.

When he pulls the strips off the top edge of the body, over the doors, you'll notice that it was glued on.

GLUED.

You do not glue metal together. You weld, rivet or bracket metal to itself (preferably like metal to like metal). Metal is usually not a porous surface, meaning it has nothing for the glue to hold onto. Do you have any idea how dangerous this barely-adhered strip of sheet metal would be if it flew off in a car crash? It's a huge metal boomerang - it's gonna kill someone. Temu-ass materials indeed.

How the fuck do you half-ass something so hard that you start whole-ass fucking it up? Lawnmowers have better structural and safety integrity.

The uh, the Ford doesn't have glued on body parts. If you were wondering.

Drive by wire and bricking.

Drive by wire is a cool invention and I'm sure it's pretty useful. In EVs, it cuts further down on weight and mades the steering more responsive.

In my opinion, though, it's a hazard on its own.

In CVs, the wheels are controlled by your steering column, which is attached to your wheel. The operation of the wheel is aided by hydraulic systems which assist you in the actual effort of turning the wheels. When your engine dies or the steering assistants take a hit, you can still control the vehicle directly (though it is much harder).

Drive by wire without a backup steering column (like the Cybertruck has) means that if the vehicle dies while you're in motion, you have no control over the vehicle at all anymore. You're fucked. God forbid your truck bricks because you drove though a puddle on the highway and you lose control entirely.

On that note too, I am firmly of the belief that none of your driving essentials should be controlled via screen. Physical buttons and shifters allow physical feedback, letting the driver keep their eyes on the road and move by muscle memory and touch alone. Touch screens are hazardous to the driver and those around them by forcing them to look at what they're pressing as opposed to the road. The Cybertruck's control screen being in the centre console also cuts down the driver's capability to use peripheral vision to monitor the traffic around them.

Now, most EVs put out by real companies do have a steering column and manual sticks still in place for these reasons, so it's not an EV problem, it's a Tesla one.

Driving off the lot.

I don't give a shit. Every vehicle you buy should come as advertised and drivable off the lot. You shouldn't have to get an app, set up an account and register your vehicle in order to charge the damn thing.

No one should be able to steal my car by stealing my phone. I draw the line. Fuck off.

So, yeah. The Cybertruck sucks even worse than we already thought it did. If you want an EV, buy it from a company that actually makes vehicles and not a billionaire's vanity toy company.

Key features: - Face extreme environments in a highly advanced physics engine - 40 unique vehicles to unlock, upgrade and customize - Complete dozens of challenging missions across an interconnected world - Go solo or play with other players in 4-player co-op ▶ Below some playstation.com tips: Tip 1: Explore and scout new areas Every time you enter a new map or region take some time out to learn the area. Reaching Watchtowers will reveal large parts of the map, giving you the location of Contracts, hidden upgrades, and even vehicles. Also, more of the map is explored, the easier it will be to plan your routes! Tip 2: Buy, sell, upgrade, and customize your trucks in the Garage The rewards from Contracts and Activities can be spent in your Garage. Here, you can purchase new vehicles to expand your lineup, upgrade their parts, and customize them visually. Your favorite vehicles can be improved to tackle tougher terrain with bigger engines, new wheels, or even a snorkel for braving river rapids. You’re going to need all the power you can get to tackle some of the more challenging objectives! Tip 3: Use the Truck Storage to send your best vehicles across the world The Truck Storage can bring your vehicles to other maps and regions, perfect if you want to bring your preferred truck on every journey you go on. Tip 4: Plan your journey around your Fuel Certain late-game Contracts span multiple maps so preparing yourself for the long-haul is important. A fuel trailer makes you more autonomous, but if you can’t afford the price of the trailer or your truck isn’t strong enough to carry it, you will need to rely on fuel stations. Be sure the route you’ve got in mind has plenty of fuel available. Tip 5: Activate All-Wheel Drive and Differential Lock when necessary All-Wheel Drive gives power to every single wheel on your vehicle, it is especially effective when trying to overcome slopes. This raises your fuel consumption, so use it sparingly. Remember to turn it off when the terrain is easier to navigate! Cars normally have their differentials unlocked, which allows each wheel to rotate at different speeds for safe turning at high speeds. Differential Lock forces two wheels that share the same axel to turn in unison, heavily increasing vehicle traction. Make sure to know when to use both, so you don’t end up crashing on the curb! Tip 6: Slow is Smooth, Smooth is Fast If you’re stuck, don’t panic! Flooring the accelerator will likely leave you in a more precarious situation because spinning your tires will just dig you deeper into the mud or snow. Set your gearbox to a lower level and try to gently nudge yourself free. Slower tire spins with careful steering wheel control can get you more traction and you’ll be out of there in no time. Tip 7: Increase your Driver Rank Certain Contracts may be too tough for you to handle early, so don’t be afraid to leave them for later. Raising your Driver Rank will grant access to more vehicles and upgrades, netting you with more tools to make your job easier. Tip 8: Use your Winch! #snowrunner #snowrunnergameplay #offroad

History

Roxelana was born to two witches whose families wanted their bloodlines to blend.

Though not in love, her parents tried to make it work, eventually having Bayley but once she was brought into it the relationship didn’t really last long.

Her mother never remarried, though she did meet a man that she became involved with eventually becoming pregnant with the man’s child thus enters her sister Banou into the world, 22 years after Roxy’s own arrival. 

Roxy came into her powers at a young age, her mother beginning to teach her and helping her to hone her powers.

Upon graduation (with two years of college already under her belt thanks to dual enrollment), Rox attended a local community college and finished up with her business degree while working in one of the local bakeries. At 20, Roxelana graduated business school and opened her own bakery, Sweet Salvation Bakery. 

A year later, Roxy met Jamie Carter after spending an entire day hunting down the man for robbing her small bakery.

It didn’t take long for the male to win her over and not too long before the pair ran off together leaving her bakery in the hands of her best friend who shared her passion for baking with her until she returned.

They’ve spent the last 8 years travelling

4 years ago they were surprised to discover that Bayley was pregnant with a boy whom they named Axel.

They separated a while ago. Bayley’s return to New Orleans is to not only visit her mother and sister but because she received a devastating call from Kenna and knew that Jamie was going to need her now more than ever so she dropped everything and returned with Axel to New Orleans.

To be continued so stay tuned...

[kayla1993-world]

The mother of a woman who suffered a fractured skull in a downtown Toronto hit and run last month is appealing for help to find the driver.

Laura Mastache says her 26-year-old daughter, Melody — affectionately called Ñiñi — suffered a traumatic a brain injury. An 18-year-old woman was also seriously injured.

Mastache told CBC News on Friday that she wants the police to "find this heartless person who did this to my daughter and the other girl." She is pleading with anyone with information to contact police.

At approximately 2:52 a.m. on March 20, police say they received a report about a hit and run at the east crosswalk at the intersection of Bathurst and Niagara streets.

Police say the driver of a white Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD Double Cab 4x4 pickup truck with a short bed was travelling southbound on Bathurst Street. The driver made a left turn onto Niagara Street and struck the two women, who were crossing southbound. 

Police say the driver fled the scene eastbound along Niagara Street. They have released security camera images of the truck.

A police spokesperson told CBC News on Friday that officers are working on the case and the investigation remains ongoing.

Mastache, who doesn't live in Toronto, says her daughter was in the hospital an entire day before she learned about what had happened, adding that she "freaked out" when she got the news.

"This happened at 2:52 on Sunday morning, March 20, and I found out around 9 p.m.," she said.

"I try to be strong. I'm an old lady now … I've been through a lot in my life, so I try to be strong."

Mastache says she doesn't know how the injuries will affect her daughter, who is "just fighting to get better."

"She's always in pain. All her body aches, her head, everything."

Mastache says she got some good news on Friday. They moved her daughter to a new hospital to begin the rehabilitation phase of her recovery.

Meanwhile, Mastache's son Axel Mastache has organized a fundraiser called Ñiñi's recovery fund.

On the GoFundMe page, Axel Mastache said his sister "will have to undergo extensive inpatient rehab for the next several months."

"My mother is currently watching over her in the hospital and has had to find a temporary spot for my youngest sister and Ñiñi's dog … We are looking for help from our community to help with the cost of a place to stay for my mother in Toronto and gas, hospital parking, food, dog-care and whatever upcoming costs Ñiñi cannot pay while she recovers."

The GoFundMe, with a goal of $2,500, had raised $2,870 from 39 donors as of Friday evening.

Reaching Watchtowers will reveal large parts of the map, giving you the location of Contracts, hidden upgrades, and even vehicles. Also, more of the map is explored, the easier it will be to plan your routes! Tip 2: Buy, sell, upgrade, and customize your trucks in the Garage The rewards from Contracts and Activities can be spent in your Garage. Here, you can purchase new vehicles to expand your lineup, upgrade their parts, and customize them visually. Your favorite vehicles can be improved to tackle tougher terrain with bigger engines, new wheels, or even a snorkel for braving river rapids. You’re going to need all the power you can get to tackle some of the more challenging objectives! Tip 3: Use the Truck Storage to send your best vehicles across the world The Truck Storage can bring your vehicles to other maps and regions, perfect if you want to bring your preferred truck on every journey you go on. Tip 4: Plan your journey around your Fuel Certain late-game Contracts span multiple maps so preparing yourself for the long-haul is important. A fuel trailer makes you more autonomous, but if you can’t afford the price of the trailer or your truck isn’t strong enough to carry it, you will need to rely on fuel stations. Be sure the route you’ve got in mind has plenty of fuel available. Tip 5: Activate All-Wheel Drive and Differential Lock when necessary All-Wheel Drive gives power to every single wheel on your vehicle, it is especially effective when trying to overcome slopes. This raises your fuel consumption, so use it sparingly. Remember to turn it off when the terrain is easier to navigate! Cars normally have their differentials unlocked, which allows each wheel to rotate at different speeds for safe turning at high speeds. Differential Lock forces two wheels that share the same axel to turn in unison, heavily increasing vehicle traction. Make sure to know when to use both, so you don’t end up crashing on the curb! Tip 6: Slow is Smooth, Smooth is Fast If you’re stuck, don’t panic! Flooring the accelerator will likely leave you in a more precarious situation because spinning your tires will just dig you deeper into the mud or snow. Set your gearbox to a lower level and try to gently nudge yourself free. Slower tire spins with careful steering wheel control can get you more traction and you’ll be out of there in no time. Tip 7: Increase your Driver Rank Certain Contracts may be too tough for you to handle early, so don’t be afraid to leave them for later. Raising your Driver Rank will grant access to more vehicles and upgrades, netting you with more tools to make your job easier. Tip 8: Use your Winch! #snowrunner #snowrunnergameplay #offroad

Илон Маск готов купить производителя обычных авто. Это может быть BMW, Volkswagen или Ford – у Tesla достаточно денег для этого

New Post has been published on https://v-m-shop.ru/2020/12/02/ilon-mask-gotov-kupit-proizvoditelya-obychnyh-avto-eto-mozhet-byt-bmw-volkswagen-ili-ford-u-tesla-dostatochno-deneg-dlya-etogo/

Илон Маск готов купить производителя обычных авто. Это может быть BMW, Volkswagen или Ford – у Tesla достаточно денег для этого

Но такая покупка возможна только при определенном условии

Илон Маск (Elon Musk), главный акционер и руководитель Tesla, оказывается, не против прикупить какого-нибудь производителя обычных автомобилей – из числа тех, которые специализируются на выпуске авто с двигателями внутреннего сгорания. Ирония судьбы в том, что финансовое положение Tesla позволяет Маску не ограничиваться приобретением только одного производителя авто: у компании достаточно средств, чтобы купить BMW, Volkswagen и Ford все вместе. Впрочем, по словам Маска, такая сделка возможна только при одном важном условии.

Своими интересными мыслями Маск поделился в интервью предпринимателю-миллиардеру главе издательского дома Axel Springer Матиасу Дёпфнеру (Mathias Döpfner). Дёпфнер вручал Маску награду, и по этому случаю взял интервью, в котором речь как раз зашла о гипотетической покупке какого-то известного автопроизводителя.

«Что ж, я думаю, что мы точно не собираемся проводить враждебное поглощение», – сказал Маск. «Я полагаю, если бы был дружеский разговор, если бы кто-нибудь сказал "Эй, мы думаем, что было бы неплохо объединиться с Tesla", мы, безусловно, могли бы поговорить об этом. Но мы не хотим, чтобы это превратилось в ситуацию враждебного поглощения».

В общем, у Tesla есть возможность купить абсолютно любого автопроизводителя, вопрос тут только в желании последнего. И не исключено, что желающие все-таки найдутся. Конечно, это вряд ли будут BMW или Volkswagen, которые активно вкладывают средства в собственные электромобили (справедливости ради, нужно отметить, что электрические авто этих компаний смогут конкурировать с авто Tesla еще очень нескоро, о чем они сами и говорят), но вот для GM или Ford такое сотрудничество, с полным или частичным поглощением, было бы выходом из кризиса. Увы, положение этих компаний за последнее пять-десять лет сильно пошатнулось: Ford существенно сократил гамму своих авто на домашнем рынке, чтобы освободить средства на разработку электромобилей. Продажи Ford в Китае и Европе падают. GM ушел из России и Индии, в 2015 году вывел с европейского рынка бренд Chevrolet, а не так давно продал Opel французам из PSA Group. Все, опять же, ради сокращения убытков. И хотя GM, как и Ford, вынашивают амбициозные планы по выводу десятков электрических моделей на рынок в ближайшие несколько лет, но сделать это будет очень непросто. Компетенции и технологии Tesla тут были бы очень кстати. Вот только захотят ли акционеры этих компаний терять независимость и переходить под флаг Tesla?
