That’s methed up.

Is our standard phone greeting going to have to start with F O R G E T A L L P R E V I O U S I N S T R U C T I O N S?

They might be doing some sort of glass chop in areas (actually, i wouldnt be surprised if this is what they mean by “composit body panels”, open molds would be cheap as hell, and parts are cheap too), but I used to use that more for body panels or exterior details than anything super structural. I guess they could do fiberglass frame rails, but that still feels like it would be a strange choice at what just doing basic ladder frame in steel would cost.

It’s also 20ish" shorter, seats 5 with a 5 foot bed, can carry 4x8 sheets flat between the wheel wells (and tailgate closed if the midgate is open), tows a bit over 3 tons, has an AWD option, and the base range beats the maxed out range on the Slate. They aren’t really competitors beyond “small truck.” Telo is absolutely maxed out for it’s size, Slate is as cheap as cheap can go.

At the cost of the mold to do something like that (and the machine to even run it), I’m reasonably sure that stamped or brake pressed frame rails make more sense cost wise. I’m not sure that volume will ever drive the cost of that low enough to be worth it within the life of a mold like that. Like, I can picture the design to make it a basic two plate mold (I think, I’m more used to parts that top out a bit over a foot in the largest dimension), but then the gate size and shot volume I’m picturing to fill the thing is just bonkers, although apparently there are a few machines in the world that could theoretically do it if I’m reading their specs right from a quick search.

Unless your thinking a carbon fiber layup, which is feasible, but I believe metal becomes more cost effective again at that point.

I don’t want a DJ talking over or between tracks other than the occasional mention of what the song was.

Most egregious instance of this I ever heard was the dude that talked over the ENTIRE FUCKING RUNTIME OF FOREPLAY. He finally shut up when Long Time started, but God damn, he talked right over the best part.

Frame rails are usually stamped. Although low volume sometimes will brake press them.

In the office that I work in, I’d be surprised if I’d need more than one hand to count how many people would understand this.

Did a search, found some video.

I wonder if it’s an internal company change then. I had just assumed the trade compliance department was forwarding on the request for information questions to me and then passing back my answers.

Edit: I just realized, I’m US and your referring to Europe, so there might still be differences.

I’m not sure the “sample” option is available anymore. That’s quit working for me to get stuff here for me to actually send to the lab for destructive testing lately.

I have no clue whether any of those are real ¿songs? and I think I’m ok with that.

Maybe they can get a couple of chatbots and a rural PTA member into a Signal group chat this time.

Man, watching them try to figure out what the fuck is going on and who’s even real could be entertaining for a bit.

Is the place you live anywhere in the US? If yes, then it doesn’t matter because they have the money. If no, then honestly you probably actually have sane laws.

I thought that was just for porn?

It’s bad road design. US roads are nearly all designed to encourage high speed travel by being mostly straight, perfectly smooth (well, until weather happens), and super wide. Then we slap a random-ass speed limit sign down and say “job’s done.” If roads were a bit less wide, even if just painted narrower, not dead fucking straight, and if you want to get fancy use something like how the Dutch use bricks for lower speed road surfaces, the road design alone would encourage lower speed driving.

Just because you seem to be quick to read these and I wanted to mention the vision limitation one after I understood it better.

In my experience with the Outback, it should either work just fine, or if visibility is too bad for it to work reliably, it won’t let you engage it (or warn you and turn itself off it conditions deteriorate while engaged.)

If the speed difference between the car and the object is over 32mph (at least for 2018 model year if I’m remembering the number in the manual correctly), I believe it will fail because it doesn’t have enough time to identify the object. It will do it’s damndest to stop, and should be able to scrub off a solid amount of speed, but there will still be some sort of impact just due to pretty clearly spelled out system limitations.

I think I accidentally deleted my post so sorry if this is a duplicate.

I can poke around in my wife’s outback to verify again, but as far as I’m aware, Subaru doesn’t have any forward radars. Having a set of properly calibrated stereo cameras works amazingly well though. Whatever Tesla is attempting, while still kinda impressive, isn’t nearly as polished with the number of phantom breaking events and stuff like this I see complained about online.

Blind spot I believe is radar, and backward is a combination of sonar and radar if I’m not mistaken.
