Hands-on engineer interested in practical, efficiency-driven design.

Concept ideas:

- core commonality w/ Model Y = reduced development time/cost (wiper R&D is done 😉)

- manufacturable body inspired by Cybertruck & Starship. No-compound-curves design = no stretch forming required

- multiple design features provide max versatility

As always, the answer is much more than you think it is (unless you're a legit automotive engineer like the *guy who wrote it*) Super-good stuff here, click it:

Less rolling resistance means you get more range whether you're burning gas or discharging a battery. But where does rolling resistance come from--and how is it reduced? Here's how: https://t.co/wEAie2hNEr

@SchiroRichard @TailosiveEV Sure it could. The design specifically utilizes only non-compound curves for the body panels. Rolled curves don’t require any sort of stretch-forming, and are essentially as easy to form as brake-formed bends. It’s the same principle SpaceX uses to crank out rings for Starship.

@TailosiveEV Thanks, Andrew!

It’s funny, I randomly stumbled upon your interview with @aptera_motors’ Chris Anthony yesterday and thought to myself, wow, these guys really get it! 😂 I totally agree w/ your take on the trend of EV McMansions. The lack of focus on efficiency is bewildering.

@nanda_holz @the_autopian Yeah! I totally thought the windshield/A-pillar looked like an 80s Land Cruiser.

[The Autopian @the_autopian]

Was going to abandon this idea, but what the heck, we'll try it ... there's four cars in there. Can you name them?

@the_autopian Rules are boring. I see an opportunity for evolution in @NASCAR 😬

Sharp mid-engine styling, those fantastic turbine wheels, genuine DeLorean provenance ... the DeLorean Next Generation JZD is a reboot to root for 👍
