Looks totally normal in the video.

How good is your driving record and what do you expect in your near-term future ... If you already have tickets on your record in the last 3 years and there's still some time remaining before they drop off, then fight the ticket. If nothing else, this can delay having the conviction on your...

That smells like political BS.

And yes, a thread chaser would be a better tool, if you can find one.

Obtain a M6x1.0 tap. (Canadian Tire, Princess Auto). I have one, but CTC is closer. Also obtain a small adjustable wrench. Snallest one you can find. There is a special tool meant for holding taps but I don't think it will fit the area where you will be using this. Use a piece of wire to feel...

Way too much misinformation going around. "FUD" ... fear, uncertainty, doubt.

Remove the tensioner. Wind the tensioner in to retract it and insert the grenade pin, thus holding the tensioner in the fully retracted position. Thread in both bolts with your fingers into their threaded holes without the tensioner in place, to confirm that the threads are clear and the bolts...

Oil industry collusion to raise prices. I'm shocked. (NOT) https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2024/05/ftc-order-bans-former-pioneer-ceo-exxon-board-seat-exxon-pioneer-deal Looks like there's a bunch of related documents on this matter, which I haven't dug into.

Kerosene or other such solvents are not a problem as long as you get the job done within a few minutes and you don't go after the chain aggressively in a way that encourages dirt to get past the O-rings. Really, just oil the chain, let it sit for a few minutes, wipe off the excess with an old...

I think we can do 6:30 meet 7:00 departure.

That's a Tesla problem, not an EV problem.

My thinking is the same. Wile E Coyote is carrying the anvil further and further out onto the precipice ...

When my Bolt is 10 years old and outside battery warranty, I will consider its resale value to be a rounding error. If something big goes wrong at that point that can't be fixed with a junkyard replacement, then the situation will be exactly the same as if something big goes wrong with the 9...

The spacer between bearings is clamped by the axle between the two bearings and thus locked in position to the inner races - in this case, held stopped while the outer race spins with the wheel (and the ball and ball cage orbit at an intermediate speed). I can see what Mad Mike is saying if the...

What happens when reality can't live up to the promises? What happens when believers stop believing the promises? Due to the number of fanbois out there, I refuse to speculate on when this will happen.

The gaps will wander around. Having them offset arranges it so that leakage doesn't have a direct path straight through on initial start-up before the rings have seated.

To be honest, and in full disclosure as a shareholder of MG (Magna), it doesn't trouble me, either. They supply a few bits and pieces to Tesla, but it isn't major. I don't own any TSLA, never have, and don't plan to.

I don't think the tabs have anything to do with the problem at hand. I think the bearings are misaligned. Whether that's due to a distorted hub or a piece of debris stopping one of them from seating properly, no idea. Does the axle and both bearings spin nicely once installed? How about once...

The big question over many corners of the internet today is "what's next"? It's impossible to predict Elon Musk, and nobody saw this coming. Given that he seems to have a pretty short attention span, it's possible that Tesla as an auto manufacturing company is no longer a shiny new thing in...

Here's the latest random-spur-of-the-moment Musk move that came out of nowhere. The entire Supercharger deployment team got Musked. At this point, I am quite content to own a CCS-equipped vehicle with decent support for CCS fast-charging in the area. (I have yet to encounter a problem.) And a...
