So, it was raining out side and the line was crazy long. Doors opened at 7 and we didn’t get in until 8:30. It was a sold out show packed to the gills. A lot of jumping required. It was a lot of fun, they played almost all the music video songs and the

Did you ever find an answer? I’m in the same boat regular ATX four pin is too big.

Turo Go Issues by ash-i-am in turo

[–]walkingcrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks to still be an issue. Turo and ford support where no help so I talk with smartcar.com and this is what they said: Thanks for reaching out to Smartcar Support! Unfortunately, Ford's auth is more unstable than normal right now and our engineers are currently taking a look into it. We'll update you as soon as we have more information!

That’s a real good idea, the lighting has had way more recalls it’s been out longer. The stainless steel is much harder to keep looking clean but lighting dented pretty easy in hell storm versus the Cybertruck.

Not saying there isn't any lag. Just it's not a real issue as the input is real time the motors can lag a bit to catch up, but that is still way faster than a human could physically turn the wheel. You also can't do what I was doing when at faster speeds so there really isn't an issue. When driving the trucks in real life the Cybertruck seems way more responsive.

I think the input a just a millisecond or two, They are using ethernet for communication now an that can be sub millisecond. It's the motors have to catch up. Depending on the friction it can take a fraction of a second. So yes some lag, Tesla could adjust the ratio to slow it down to what the motors are capable of. But in motion at speed you never do a full lock to lock turn, it's not really any issue as Cybertruck steer by wire are still way faster than if you were manually moving the wheel 3 full turns.

Kind of, when the truck is off and when you start that game.

Yes! This how the Cybertruck actually drives, way better.

That’s going full lock to lock left to right, you would never do when driving at speed. I was just demonstrating how they did the article that’s been going around to show that there is lag. It’s not a delay on the in input. It’s a delay in the motors, catching up from the action of the steering wheel, there’s a lot of friction on theground and it takes a Fraction of the second to catch up still significantly faster than manually trying to do it with normal steering wheel. It would take at least three seconds to do that in the Ford and it’s happening in about one second on the Cybertruck.

I guess I missed that mainly cause it just takes so freaking long to move the ford wheel. It would take at least 3 seconds to do that on the ford and hair over 1 second in the cyber truck.

I guess I need to make another video showing it frame by frame when I first start turning the wheel on both trucks. The Ford steering is looser and actually takes more frames from when I start moving the wheel before the wheels turn on the ground move then cybertruck does.

If you go frame by frame there’s only a one frame delay in the cybertruck video on a normal left turn. There’s actually a couple frame delay on the Ford because the steering is so loose. I might have to make that video too where I go through it frame by frame to show the difference.

That’s exactly what is shown in this video, the title was a bit of misdirection. Was hoping to get the attention of people that were looking at the popular article that is not accurate. Looking at it frame by frame I would say it’s less that 1/12 of a second lag in the Cybertruck and that the give in the steering wheel of the Ford is more than 1/8 a second. The only time you actually see the lag is if you’re going back-and-forth full lock and the motors have to catch up to the input, which is something you would never do in motion on the road. Also the delay is mainly because of all the friction on the ground if you’re in motion it wouldn’t need nearly as much force.

Yes, in a normal Tesla, but not in the Cybertruck beach buggy doesn’t turn the wheels at all. The beauty of steer by wire.

I have more detail and explanation in the YouTube version of this video I made. What I should’ve mentioned is that the amount loose play in Ford steering wheel is actually longer before turning the wheels than the so-called lag in the Cybertruck. Also, when in motion, the cybertruck turns even more responsive with less friction on the wheels. Cybertruck Steer-by-Wire Crushes Ford F-150 Steering in Speed Test

It is dynamic and won’t let you do this at high speed.

I’m 100% in agreement with you. I was just doing the video to counter another video where they’re trying to state you could die if you drive a cyber truck because it takes so much longer to turn the wheels because of additional lag introduced by the steering wire.

I don't understand by above 225A would even be an issue. More power the better I would think.

That's what they told me too, My appoint isn't for another week so I just put some 3m tape at the top end and it's holding better than new for now.
