yes they are 100% structural they are the main support under the car that connects the front to the rear but you can get by driving without them. The car will sag in the middle and it will flex a lot going over railroad tracks and stuff but the car shouldn't break in half as long as you have a roof. Convertible is a different story

Depending on the installation of the conduit you pull the cable from the right end, More important thing here is to join at the male female connection should be installed so that at down hill the female joint should not face uphill, install the conduit so at any downhill it will face downhill ,the next and first thing is as you are laying down the conduit you pass thru a 3/8 pull rope as you are laying the conduit and you start putting the conduit together at every 3rd pipe you pull the cable and never cover anything till you are done with connections and it is working covering is the last thing you do don't worry if it rains

Try and rent a Tesla next road trip and do a comparison video. Easy to sit here in the comments and blah blah Tesla chargers are better, but once you experience them yourself, they really are the best. Hopefully you had fun on your road trip!
@thegrimmperspective5 ай бұрын
The Charge Point charger is considered AC charging while the Tesla chargers and the dealership charger were DC charging. If you hop in the car and look at the dash, it will show you the amount of KW that it's accepting. It will top out at 150kW plus or minus. We've owned our Polestar 2 since February and love it! If your software is up to date, the onboard google maps will do an excellent job of finding you chargers. Ours however is behind and we're several hundred miles from a Polestar place so I tend to use PlugShare to research current charging locations.
@muttsbutts5 ай бұрын
Good for you, trying an EV. It is gross malfeasance that the rental company didn't show you how to charge, and what the parts of the charge port are. Obviously you discovered how to use DC fast charging, but you not being told of what the charging port constitutes, is bad customer service. That first charger you were using was level 2 charging (using the J1772 round plug), and you were only getting 240volt A/C output, probably getting 6kw per hour. I hope you had a good trip, and despite the rental company's disregard, you consider an EV trip again, in the future.
@mattt88895 ай бұрын
Good video, EVs are the future and Tesla network is far easier to use, more chargers and faster charge.
@iambenmitchell4 ай бұрын
Yeah it seems the state of charging in the US is shockingly bad unless you have a Tesla, they basically have a monopoly. Completely different story here in Europe. Tesla network is pretty slow compared to Ionity, most Tesla chargers are 150-250kw whereas almost all ionity chargers are 350kw. So if you have a Porsche taycan that can take 315kw to 60% and 290 until 70% then you'd want to avoid charging at Tesla. That said, the new polestars can take around 200kw, old ones take up to 150kw and so can the Tesla network is fine, but I'd rank Ionity as #1 due to the better speed and then Tesla a very close 2nd. Also Tesla uses CCS 2 in Europe just like every other car, not sure about CCS 1 but CCS 2 supports auto pay and a lot of networks here in the UK now support it. Even older polestars now support it, so you could just plug in a polestar and it would automatically start charging and bill you without needing any authentication. Just like Teslas do. Charging has changed so much in the last year, let alone 2 or 3 years

Don't think so, & you'd be getting a u-join instead of a CV. I have a CV shaft on my 2017 & it needs replacement for the last 3000 miles, but I just keep using it on the farm. Mostly low range under 10mph. I got 7500 mi on it now & over 2200 hrs. 1of these yrs. I'm gonna change it. I heard to take the under carriage of & go at it that way. IDK but you have to remove a little brace then replace it afterwards, sound like you can make one & bolt it on drill a couple holes.

A better idea would have been for you to have refrain from repairing this truck. It's a total loss. Today's cars are contracted in a complex way that limits repairability. You probably know now why the others turned down repairing this truck. I'm sorry the wrecking yards took advantage of you on the cab and door. You've put a lot of your own money into parts you may not be able to use. Through no fault of your own you're in over your head. I hope you had an understanding with the owner of the truck that he would compensate you for the time and money you've put into a n unsuccessful repair The deal is that the owner's wrecked truck really should have been sold to a scrap yard for a parts truck instead of buying parts from wrecked trucks to repair this truck. Perhaps you didn't know what you were getting into. It's a shame but anyone can look at this truck and see that it's unrepairable. What was the owner thinking?
