i finally saw a parked model 3 today. i have peeped 5-10 model S over the past year or two but i finally got to see something else. it has misaligned panels all over the place. i didn't do a full 360 on it but every panel on the front (bumper, hood, etc) was clearly misaligned props to the owner i guess for being the only person i've seen use a public EV charger. the only other one i've seen in use here is by the chevy volt owner who uses the charger at the one really good inner-ring suburban library near me

ADINSX posted:Would this be possible I wonder? It still trips me out that some motorcycles have the engine as a stressed component of the bike Yep, but it's a niche thing. Formula E cars are built the same was as a "traditional" single seater, where the engine and transmission bolt directly to the back of the tub and carry all of the rear suspension. In Formula E's case there's a big battery pack in place of the engine, but it's still performing the same structural role, and then has motors & a transmission hanging off the back somehow. This is why they do the comedy car-swap thing instead of changing batteries mid race, changing batteries is an involved process that takes hours and involves splitting the car in half.

"oops it just wont fit together right, little crooked, guess thats good enough though" is for $20 walmart chipboard tables not cars

"oops it just wont fit together right, little crooked, guess thats good enough though" is for $20 walmart chipboard tables not cars It depends on the making of the car. In the premium segment panel couplings are usually adjustable. Now you still can have plastic clips for the large surface connection but when it comes to the connections close to what will Form the panel gaps, it might be screws with wide washers or movable chassis nuts so that you can move the part around before tightening everything down. This process requires experience and a good understanding of tightening procedures and tolerances. At VW for example, alignment works were usually limited to senior workers back in the days. If you make cheap cars, usually you will only use snap connections for body panels. These are easier and faster to install, but your panel gaps will depend on production tolerances and might end up horrible. The benefit is that you don't need any experienced workers to do the alignment. I don't know the panel fastening on teslas, but factory bad panel gaps either mean they did very cheap engineering and their QM and process Management sucks, or they employ workers unfit for the task of panel adjustment, which would usually correct itself with time though.

Powershift posted:At what temperature though a gram of water at 0C somehow heated to 100C with no loss through evaporation etc. would weigh approx 5 picograms more, so weighing water is far less temperature dependent than measuring it by volume. otoh i doubt even the most yospos of yospos coffee thread enthusiasts are using their scales in a vacuum, so the additional air displaced by the greater volume of hot water would actually make the apparent weight less if your water is in an open container
