Nothing like a serious shave to improve aerodynamics.
I don't think you are allowed to enter southern France in summer without being catwalk material

Yeah but hallucination drugs always makes you look better. No idea what it's about but they like their fruits and vegetables

No idea but this is kind of good and bad at the same time.

As far as the battery goes, I thought they're more repairable that that. Certainly there are stories of older Teslas in the same condition, where someone's gone and replaced just certain cells in it.
For first responder training, it seems pretty common now (in the US at least) to have a training course for them. I read recently that GM have been providing one.
The Leaf's isolation plug seems in a really bad spot. In the Tesla model 3, it's just under the bonnet.
Second page, section 3, "Main disable method" -- cut the loop, just there for first responders.
The Leaf's manual just says "remove the fuses under the bonnet", but you need to wait 10 minutes for the supercapacitors to discharge.
Maybe the isolation plug is just for when you want to remove the whole battery from the vehicle?

That's what I thought, I had heard of Tesla's doing partial battery replacement.
I had actually never thought about electric shock after a crash.
Bloody expensive batteries if those quoted prices are correct
Yeah, lots of electricity in these new cars
I only really started thinking about it when F1 introduced hybrids with big batteries; all of a sudden all the trackside marshalls and mechanics needed to wear gloves, and there are more safety lights on the car to tell them when it's safe to touch.

Probably when it rolled off the production line, just joking but thought I was funny.
Should just buy a new car though.

I still think it is nuts that they use heaps of the 18650 batteries instead of something neater.
I mean, surely there must be a better option than thousands of individual cells. They must have been cheap, accessible and needing a short time to market must have limited those choices. Here you go....... https://circuitdigest.com/article/tesla-model-s-battery-system-an-engineers-perspective

They won't be using them for long. BYD blades will take over very soon.

I hope so but how many 'lets just do this for now until something better comers along' solutions end up being adopted
Being able to quickly replace a larger cell or groups of cells identified as bad by the battery management system seems like a sensible way ahead.
My old boss had a great saying about this: temporary solutions become permanentI hope so but how many 'lets just do this for now until something better comers along' solutions end up being adopted
I always remember that, whenever I'm proposing a quick fix.

Only arguing how long 'temporary' actually is. Wrangling definitions, I say.......My old boss had a great saying about this: temporary solutions become permanent
