  • Probably an unpopular opinion, but I’d love to take that as a project vehicle.

    Batteries for home setup (on TOU plan, so it’d be nice to charge when rates are low and discharge when high).
    Then slap an combustion engine in there that just acts as a power plant for the electric motors. It’d probably be biting off more than I can chew, but it sounds like a hell of a learning opportunity and tickles my engineering/tinker brain’s fancy.

    Of course, after blowing something up, I’d probably focus on dissecting the drive train and using them motors for something else. I’m suddenly curious what the suspension set up is like. If they’ve got some crazy high tech mag-ride system, I’ll bet that could be repurposed for another vehicle (pending Tesla proprietary protocols for connecting to ECU).

    But now I’m rambling. The thoughts of what I could do with those parts though.

    Ninjaedit: just took a look as some of the pondering above. I forgot how silly the interiors look, so def wouldn’t bother with attempting it as a project car.


  • I feel the same way. I find it near miraculous I didn’t fall into the trap that’s being sold to young men these days.

    I’m hesitant to share too much of my own story, but it makes me feel real sympathy for the guys being ridiculed for following Tate and such. I know the leaders are garbage, but its hard to not feel attacked when I hear the general internet lashing out at the followers for being ensnared.

    I know what its like to be young and dumb, to be told you have so much potential, but then to also feel direction-less and like a loser.

    I know the leaders are charlatans that are selling snake oil…but I don’t know what to tell these guys to get them unhooked from that crowd.
