1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Not even slightly, I don't really think the 8.0 or the 8.4 are worth putting any money into. They're a bit below a Dana 44 for strength and theyre a bigger pain to service. I'd rather swap another whole axle (they're a dime a dozen) in for a short time while I gather stuff to do the cruiser axle.

 

It’s pretty safe. Looking forward to it.

 

I think that’s the long range model.

Model 3
Designed to attain the highest safety ratings in every category, Model 3 achieves 220 miles of range while starting at only $35,000 before incentives.

There’s also a federal tax incentive of a couple thousand dollars.

 

Gets more range then my truck... but cost 4x as much lol

 

Fully electric and 0-60 in 3.5 seconds tho

 

Cut out the fully electric part and I'm excited

 

What’s wrong with electric? Haha. Never have to step in a gas station ever again.

We have solar too so it’s basically free at the end of the day.

 

Just have zero interest in it, it bores me. I hope more people get into them though, more gas for me.

I don't have a gas bill to cut anyway, its not an expense that I lament, I know some do and they worry and fret over how much MPG they get too. These are not concerns I ever have

 

I’ll let you know how it goes, placing the order for it when I get home.

 

Thought you already ordered one

 

Pre-ordered one. We paid a $1,000 “reservation” fee to Tesla about two years ago. This is the actual ordering the car and optioning it out.

 

Do they at least give you a lip service bill showing that the $1000 went toward the car?

 

I replaced my seatbelt because the webbing was all torn up and the latch itself was hard to pull out of the retractor.

I forgot I replaced it when I got in the truck, and instinctly pulled hard to get the seatbelt out. Unbeknownst to me the new one has a lot less resistance and I hit my leg pretty hard as a result.

Typical Wednesday night.

 

I like me a combustion engine too. If you really wanna measure which one is more green. All one has to do is compare a lithium mine to an oil rig, then figure out what to do with all the materials in the batteries that arent recycled.

 

I wish my passenger side belt would retract on it's own. The drives side doesn't either but I just would like my roommate to stop bitching about it. It takes like half a fucking second to pull it back in but instead he whines to me about it.

 

Plus measure all the consumables that both still need, oils, brakes, tires...so on

 

Jealous, although my truck shouldn't go on a trip right now I'd still limp it up there if I could make it.

 

Bolt is the better value nowadays, the leaf is like a cheap economy car with less range possibility. But no matter what I always want to be driving something I can enjoy, I can't enjoy either, I don't do ecomonomy cars electric or not.

Lemme know what you turn up, I'll follow you on APRS.

 

I had to “feed” my driver’s seatbelt back into the retractor because it wouldn’t retract on its own either. I had to keep cutting the seatbelt every couple weeks because the fibers would prevent the buckle from sliding smoothly.

There came a point where I couldn’t stand that stupid seatbelt anymore so I just ordered a new one. $150 from Camelback, not bad.

 

Mine are weak, they'll eventually make it back in. The belt strap material is stiff with what is probably a mix of food and human slime. I'm gonna wash the belts one of these days. No rips though, never seen a belt ripped like yours.
