Just because it has a shipping label going to a Mercedes location doesn't mean it fits a Mercedes vehicle. The Mercedes dealership might have a body shop that is Tesla certified to install the battery, or the Mercedes service department might be Tesla certified. My son works for Tesla where they build the batteries and has never said anything about them making a Mercedes spec battery. They are so busy building batteries for their own production they don't have time to build them for anyone else.
You did see where I said I am a MB tec at a MB dealer and that it is in our service department this very moment and that particular crate went into a Mercedes B class ev? There is no speculation of what kinda sorta might be.

Wanna see it? Come on down, I’ll give you a tour and let you look at it with your own eyeballs, provided you show up by Monday before it ships out. Mercedes-Benz of Wesley Chapel.

Back to what I said earlier about people arguing over what hood ornament is better… there is so much manufacture cross pollinating going on behind the scenes.

Yes Tesla build their own batteries. Yes Benz builds their own batteries. They also contract share. The $68k battery, not sure what plant that one is coming out of.

The EV battery in the crate that I posted is 100 percent joint manufactured by Tesla and Benz.
 
That’s only 1000hp…
One of the things haven't seen anyone address during this riveting conversation about horsepower is, the parasitic draw just to spin a top fuel blower is almost 1000hp. It would take everything an SRT Demon 170 engine could do just to spin the blower for a top fuel car.

I was going to, but didn’t lol
 
Holy crap….

Look at this one:



$56k for a Hyundai battery!!! whoa

I'm curious about this from a lenders standpoint. Say your POS EV battery takes a shit. Costs 30-40k for a replacement......which you can't afford, yet the car payments keep rolling in. You say fuck it and let the bank repo the POS and your credit rating goes to shit. WTF are they gonna do with a basically worthless vehicle that no one wants to buy? I'm surprised banks want any part of these.

The banks not gonna care if anybody buys it or not.
What they’re gonna do is sue the fuck out of the owner and get their money.

No- you drive it into a lake.
 
The 2024 Drag Boat Nationals are in Chandler AZ. We should go.

I haven’t been to a drag boat race since I lived in SoCal. I think they use to run them at Lake Elsinore, but it’s been a while, I think back in the late 70’s early 80’s? Eddie Hill was my favorite, as he ran both TF boats and cars. God I’m old……🤦‍♂️

Well akshoelly, it was mentioned as one of the items in the whole top fuel racing list of facts posted by somebody earlier in the thread. But they didn’t provide the lovely picture and video. 😁

Looking for investors. Designing new camouflage that has a proven track record. The first release will be camouflage patterned after twist ties (like on a loaf of bread). Everytime I remove one I cannot find it. Following that release will be camouflage patterned after 10mm sockets. I see big government contracts in our future. Open to other ideas. lol.
Here is a 10mm socket that you may have a harder time loosing.
You cant use the socket but you probably wont loose it.
 
Depictions of children are covered in the laws. They could be pencil drawings and still qualify.
I was wondering. Thanks for verifying that. How do they determine what qualifies as "child pron"? Obviously there's the obvious. But what if someone says "she looks 16" and someone else says, "no, she looks 19."?
