  1. Ford has already bolted a battery under an F150. It looks like something I could do at home. Read - it looks like DIY.

  2. What do you guys think about brakes seizing from lack of use. Don’t get me wrong I’m not looking for problems. The issue is that every low miles car I’ve bought suffered rusted and seized brakes. How are Tesla handling this(?) as EVs hardly use the brakes. Thinking on from that - the old Citroen powered hydraulics would be perfect on a Tesla. One pump powered steering, suspension and brakes using a mineral oil system. The suspension gave incredibly smooth ride, minimal body roll, load levelling and variable ride height. Springs were gas spheres. No more broken springs. Being mineral oil there was no internal corrosion as we get with brake fluid.

  3. You could install two power wall units.

  4. The LiFEPO4 cells really are solid state but they don’t have the energy density of electrolyte Li-Ion cells. Maybe these are the start of viable solid state traction batteries.
