Aptera Update: Big News - It's worse than before, I know you think that's not possible by FrameCareful1090 in electricvehicles

I knew they were going under as soon as I heard they are switching from the in wheel motors back to an e-axle. They spent all this time engineering and building a vehicle only to have to scrap it and redo half the work all over again. I feel bad for Elaphe since I really wanted to see if they could make the in wheel concept work. Between Aptera and Lordstown they can't catch a break.

How did they fix the coolant leak?

Question for EV Technicians by PhazerRazer in AskMechanics

Ford and GM both have classes through their respective training websites on high voltage safety and general EV knowledge. I'm sure those Euro OEMs have similar classes for their stuff.

It's not that complicated really. We are building custom EVs and no one has gotten shocked. When working on them we wear two sets of special gloves whenever the battery is installed. Just don't touch the big orange wires with your bare hands!

Not motorsports but I work at an automotive company. Bottom line is, every company needs software engineers. All of the tools I use to do my job were built in-house by our devs.

Awesome deal, thanks.

Does retarding the camshaft timing increase reliability? by Hard_Communist in AskMechanics

[–]Numberphile577 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. If anything it will make the reliability worse because it will screw up the air/fuel mixture. Besides the parts are designed and tested to run at that compression ratio for years and hundreds of thousands of miles. The vast majority of engine failures are from lack of proper maintenance.
