I was responding to a joke with a joke. But even a snowblower, which I have, isn’t going to be very useful once 8’ has dropped. You need very BIG equipment in those circumstances. Something like this, which requires my world to collide for even me to afford comfortably.
Correct. We have established I’m not in AZ and AZ is not just down the street. However, back in the day, the spouse did use our station wagon as a plow to get through a section of drifted road during a blizzard. The drift was well over the roof of the car. If you hit it at just the right speed, don’t lift your foot, death grip the wheel, the road is relatively straight and wide, and have some banked good will with The Almighty, it works surprisingly well. So, CT through 8’ of snow might actually be possible. As above, I’ll back to everyone on that. Or not. Perhaps I’m overdrawn and unaware.You... are clearly not in Arizona. And please; do not attempt this. Your entertaining presence on this forum would be dearly missed.
Cat builds mountain. Names it "Mount Cat Litter".
Funny how he lists all the upside catalysts only from the automotive portion of the business and nothing else. Another one of those 'anal ysts' that categorizes Tesla only as an 'automotive' company.
I'm not understanding why anyone would want/need to add a snowplow onto the front of their Cybertruck. The thing's a tank, and bulletproof. Just use it as a snowplow as is from the factory, and ram your way through! Snow too high to plow? CT becomes a tunnel boring machine.
And after you do this, let us know how it went./s
Yeah, won't happen like that even if you hacked the FSD or the Nav. Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) is a separte software system, and would kick in before those types of collisions, even if FSD was trying to do that deliberately.
Who else started bawling like a toddler who just had his lollipop taken away when you saw all those crunched up Teslas? It's going to take several glasses of Kosta Brown for me to erase that image. Good thing it's not a school night.
Things may have changed, but way back when…the oxygen in a sample of standard atmosphere pumped into a tire can eventually leach through rubber.
The search for where the cat‘s mountain may be reminded me of the search for the Springfield of Homer fame (please excuse the crudity of this clip):You... are clearly not in Arizona. And please; do not attempt this. Your entertaining presence on this forum would be dearly missed.
Where is Springfield?
With oxygen tight butyl rubber, it's impervious to oxygen. There might be some migration, but it would take a very long time (unless the butyl liner is damaged from mounting). Airplanes use it for two reasons. First is fire, nitrogen doesn't support combustion, second is ice. If the air is not dry then ice crystals can form cutting the butyl lining. (I've actually seen truck tires with over a gallon of water left in them from being left out in the rain and then mounted without draining the water.)
I've had several truck owners say if the CT cannot plow snow they aren't interested. But they did assure me the CT could plow because isn't that what trucks do where it snows? Hard to argue with that logic.I'm not understanding why anyone would want/need to add a snowplow onto the front of their Cybertruck. The thing's a tank, and bulletproof.

Nitrogen gas fill reduces the permeation of the gas through the tire by about 1/3 as compared to air. There is (slow)permeation through tire during use. Mostly a gimmick in passenger cars, imo. Unlike the beet juice in my tractor tires.
There is an interesting set of cables hanging out of a B pillar around 44 minutes into this video:-
Most people don't check their vehicles tire air pressure regularly. This wastes fuel.
It most certainly corrodes copper (at least uncoated/insulated copper). Anyone have an older car with a copper/brass radiator back in the day? The air centers (fins) were .0015 copper-and after just a few years in a area with road salt, essentially disappeared, all that was left was the tube. And it failed shortly after the fins did-they provide the support that keep the tubes from ballooning. Of course, anyone that worked on an older vehicle in the NE or midwest undoubtably dealt with corroded wiring as well.
Elon's private jet landed in Rhode Island at around 3:00 this afternoon.Haha, Netflix stole this movie plot idea from Elon. Many years ago he said Tesla is extremely careful about car software security, otherwise hackers might take control of the car remotely, and send them all to Rhode Island.
Elon should definately sue for a share of royalties from this flix.
In the intervening years, many Tesla sponsored hack-a-thons and white-hat challenges have demonstrated thoroughly that Tesla cars have the best software security in the industry. Now about Ford Blue Cruz? Seen the movie 'Blue Crush'?

But like Mark Twain said, never let the truth get in the way of a good story...
Cheers to the White-hats!
