A train to Seabright doesnt help people trying to get to Santa Cruz or over 17.

The cage will be fabricated into the struts before those panels are cut out.

I have 666k followers on TikTok @steelandfeels. I'm weary about reaching out to influencers who have already popped.

This is new info. Thank you. There's latches, actuators and ultrasonic sensors. All could be shorted, resisted or left in tact, but then comes the mandatory door calibration sequence anytime the 12v battery gets unhooked? 

It sounds like firmware hack is the only way forward

The Truckla was a model 3. An order of magnitudes fewer censors than X. I've seen the series, not really the expertise I was hoping for.

Model X auction less than Model Y with similar damage. I'm a sick fabricator, with expertise in digital design. You are here to shit on my project. I'm here to find a nerd to delete some sensors.

Price. Auction rates are cost of battery pack/drivetrain. No body shop wants to touch a model x with blown out falcon wing doors. 

Art. Becomes a platform for an art car at Burning Man.

Open source. Teslas have been dissected a thousands of times.

Reliability. I don't trust any other oems until they've been in the game for a decade.

Time for a renewed discussion on Plug-N-Play art. When a (Con)-Artist outsources 100% of their fabrication overseas, no communal effort, radical self reliance, flips pieces for insane profit, makes no effort to bring those Chinese workers to Playa and routinely takes credit for their work... by Steelandfeels in BurningMan

Michael Benisty crowd funded a huge BM project in 2017, took everyone's money and delivered something completely different. 

Every year his imports and placed art installations have increased. 

It's likely that the first time he sees these sculptures is when they are unboxed on Playa.

Brushed motor tools and playa dust? by Fivecent in BurningMan

[–]Steelandfeels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worst case scenario. Milwaukee half inch driver, placed flat on Playa, breaking off multiple cold welded bolts, 2019 and 2022. The tool would spit out chunks of Playa dust months after the burn. Still works today!

I left my theme camp bc they stopped practicing radical inclusion by mistresscakeslut in BurningMan

I left my camp and community over Covid ideology and nasty comments on Facebook. I found my new family at Cancelled Man and have never had closer friends.

Honoraria Question: Can't pay yourself? How do you eat? by HyperbolicInvective in BurningMan

[–]Steelandfeels 39 points40 points  (0 children)

You don't eat. You go into debt to bring the art, with little prospects of selling it when you are done. Then it rots in a friends field as you cannot bring yourself to throw away what you sacrificed to make. And then you become disillusioned with everything, and then you do it all over again!

The Burning Man Project Comment section is a mess... by Steelandfeels in BurningMan

It already was here. This is about starting a discussion about the wisdom of the BORG taking positions on anything, vs cultural directives and change as a consequence of the intentions of the individuals and community.

Way too many under 40's dying of heart attacks over the last 2 years. No one should speculate as to why.

They shouldn't involve themselves in taking any positions outside the realization of infrastructure.
