  • My ability to make this has no influence on whether or not it's art.

    Just because a graphic designers product is visual does not make it art. Art is worthwhile to loose yourself in, it inspires emotion, it makes you think. Graphic design like this does nothing of the sort.

  • But a simple visual inspection is all you need to see if there's rust on the discs requiring action before the safety inspection. And it's this check many BEV owner's don't do, so it's not caught until they do the actual safety inspection.

  • If you have play in the movement vertically and horizontally, there will at least potentially/occasionally be similar play in the actual steering

    No, they are two completely independent mechanical systems. Failure of one does not have a causal link to failure in the other.

  • That's probably because AFAIK there is zero play allowed in the steering wheel. It's not enough that the column is OK if the rest isn't.

    The thing is, there isn't any play WRT turning of the steering wheel, it is only horizontal and lateral movement of it. The law doesn't specify this unequivocally, which is why they're arguing to figure out how to interpret it.

  • This is probably some drive by wire shit

    No, none of the model 3's use drive by wire, it's a classic steering column like other cars.

    however there is a case running between Tesla and the FDM because the bushings that the steering wheel adjustment mechanism is mounted with has some play in it, which is supposedly what the inspections are rejecting them with as play in the steeringg column, even though there is not any play in the actual steering column itself. Shitty quality, absolutely, but not an inherent safety risk like play in the steering column.

  • They do, all BEV and PHEV suffer from this. For most teslas it's probably not getting corrected before inspection because there is no service requirement from Tesla to maintain vehicle warranty. Since other manufacturers require service to maintain warranty, they discover and fix these before inspection.

  • In Denmark a car will fail with brakes as the cause for simply having rust on them, even if the actual braking performance is good enough to pass. This is causing a lot of BEV and PHEV to require brake replacements even though they're not worn and still work just fine.
