@@lektwik I wanted to do so many more donuts... But the boss said no... ;)

@@joshsinykin5230 it did fit... But I didn't have a satisfactory way to secure the pneumatic bag jack, so it lives in the under bed storage area instead.

@ do you think the rack could hold two spares?

@@joshsinykin5230 probably. Mine tyre is left of center by about 6". And the outer edge of the spare is about 2" inside the top of the roof line. So it could overhang the roof line by 4" and still be within the absolute outer edge of the body, as the top half of the body slants inward by roughly those 4". Plus the fenders are about another 2" of width. I think it's rated for 300 pounds, so two tires would be within weight spec as well.

@@ConnectingODots glad to get confirmation that someone saw it. Was a project of passion from a bump in the road which ended up as a blessing in disguise by enabling a wide opening for Tesla to step in and utterly disrupt old paradigms. Imagine the garbage we would have if the EV1 and gen1 RAV4 were the principals of tech.

@@TransitAndTeslas yup, this the second take, kept it in because mistakes are nothing to be ashamed of... That's how we learn.

Not sure exactly what you mean. Would you care to elaborate? I didn't purchase mine for the "hype", whatever that is supposed to mean.

@@D0li0 No but you can just look up the reviews and comments about it around YT. Easy find.

@@JonathanStrome why would I need to do that? You are commenting on a video of me literally driving one over 2000 miles. Thanks for answering my question by telling me that you reason by other people's opinions. I guess I was hoping for an original thought, but that seems to be a lot to ask for these days. As for being short lived... Perhaps you don't realize that Tesla is already selling more per quarter than Rivian & Ford who have both had years to ramp up their production. So I'd say that the hype has indeed only begun to exponentially accelerate. But maybe I'm drawing bad conclusions by using data instead of what random people say in comments on the Internet. Do you have any other sage advice to share?

@@D0li0 BTW hypes are based on other people opinions, not one's original thoughts. You clearly a Tesla fanboy, so I'm not gonna waste more of my time to argue.

@@JonathanStrome hype - noun - extravagant or intensive publicity or promotion. Way to try and reduce me to a "fanboy" since you couldn't be bothered to share any actual opinions about the topic of my video. I must also be a Ford fanboy, and a GM fanboy, and a Chrysler fanboy, and a Nissan, Toyota, and Honda fanboy. Seeing as how I have had cars and trucks from them all which i was pretty pleased with and made some videos about them. Anyway, thanks for engaging and hyping up my video, I guess. Thanks for ensuring it isn't short lived by keeping it going?

Nauhh, Having a battery trailer would be neat, but I don't have a good enough trailer nor the batteries to integrate into it. And frankly the range is perfectly fine without going to all the effort. Maybe one day I will get a nice glamping camper and see about doing something fun with a beefy battery and solar PV array.

@@aloissuter1071 The four rack mount points are each a different width. So the CyberTruckco system sells a unique cross bar for each position. But the OEM Tesla cross bars are universal I believe, so they extend or contract and fit any of the four positions. The CyberTruckowners forum has a bunch of people who have built custom racks, many are built for doing work like is sounds you need.

@@braveulysses2000 did he pass, I wasn't aware.. :(

@@D0li0 i just went and looked yesterday and apparently it was 3 years ago :(

Thanks!

Sort of... www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/%E2%9C%85-11-14-lightning-build-week-group-my2023.12470/post-376869

It was fun for the 2-3 weeks I had it... Pretty much a smaller version of my Lightning. But the machE had the BlueCruise that could change lanes for you.

Oh, but it has less range than my truck too... Otherwise the UI and performance was about the same.

Try www.plasmaboyracing.com/zombieHistory.html

Just a guess, I think they are warp 9"s? Netgain maybe? Just googled it, the AI says they are 9" Advanced DC, model FB-4001... but the pair have a custom pressed common drive shaft. John did some neat series/parallel "shifting" with them... just this year I towed it up to greenwood again, check my channel videos for that road trip and show...

@D0li0 Thank's that series to parallel change I think was a lot of development. I you watch your videos.

The Lightning has been great. No trouble. The ProPower 9.6kW PTO has been really useful. Not planning on doing the home power integration, as the ProPower will do generator backup just fine. Been drag racing it recently, look for those other videos of mine on my channel all about the Lightning.

Many of those types of businesses and kits already exist... You just need to go looking for them.

Really?

Wait till I drop the two part 2x version that is 9 hour and then a 6 hour video...

That was a very special SEVA meeting...

It doesn't, now it has two... Thanks for ruining the zero streak record... ;)

I believe the GM Magne Charger standard, an inductive paddle, was also known as J1773... per en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magne_Charge I did not find any references to any J1771.

When the camera isn't rolling I still make vroom vroom sounds and pretend to shift gears... But you will never see those videos, so will just have to imagine it... ;)

L

I'm the "dude"... Don't tell anyone. ;)

@@D0li0 Soo what is it like to drive? Is there ANY car that delivers a similar driving experience? Only car that sorta looks like it is a 00 insight which I own😅 just need a car that drives like a ev1

@@Super_Charged4life lol, it was like a cross between the motor whine of a leaf, the feel of the 00 Insight (I have 2), and the torque of a Bolt... ..speaking of, check out: www.plasmaboyracing.com/silverStreak.html Recent mention : ruclips.net/video/WB4mb-caWus/видео.html

@@D0li0 holy fuck 200hp in a insight will fucking RIP 🤣🤣 just did a lithium conversion on mine and did a 40% current hack. And interesting I was actually looking at Nissan leafs

@@Super_Charged4life awesome, can you share links to that project? I need to do something new with my insight(s) now that they are mostly parked while I drive my new ER Lightning...

You betcha... I just posted the original 3D version of the footage. So you can ride along and look around the cabin as if you were there... I think this works with VR Headsets but do not have one to try out... Its like a scavenger hunt to see if you can find that video... Have not figured out how to stich the parts back together?

You can find John at www.plasmaboyracing.com/

Ya, realized that after the video, thanks for the clarification.

pronunciation is in the eye of the beholder?

If by that you mean it was a cute fun amazing car ahead of it's time, the indeed... :)

@@D0li0 I think by that he means the shape of the car looks like a computer mouse

get things people dont want anymore

Oh, he broke plenty of stuff, but always kept going since I first saw it around 2001ish, then went to watch him and others race for about a decade.

@@D0li0 SPOILERS! Didn’t he crash it in a Netflix Show called Fastest Car?

@@matokyo2365 uhh, ya.. huh.. Not sure that was the first nor last time it got broken is all. Shrugs.

Just front wheel drive, so more of a burn out or torque steer than a drift I think, but it was fun... 😊

still with the school I presume.

The question is which school? I'd like to make them an offer.

@@magus5200 I think it is mentioned in the video or d a Tipton. Central Washington I think but could be wrong. And unfortunately I don't think they can legally sell the car, cause GM had legal ninjas more so than battery engineers at that time and probably still today.

They also cant legally drive it and here it is. They'll do it for the right price. I'll do some more research. Thanks

@@magus5200 it was trailered to the meeting and not "driven" on any public roads.

White Zombie - Powered by Kokam Lithium Polymer Batteries.

What good is to have that power when you can't hold it..😉

@@81071benson don't know what you mean. The batteries hold the power, and give it up, perfectly fine, for drag racing, and less exciting uses.

@@81071benson WTF are you talking about, seems like nonsense.

Indeed, it's been a while, my how things have changed.

Yup...
