"First of - very elegant design!Not defending either position, but a recommendation - it really helps both the credibility of the design and the designer if they have a clear path to realize the design to manufacturing. It will prevent going down a pathway that requires losing design intent for molding reality and really allow a designer to justify how they may want to push or flex the boundaries of design by suggesting how it could be made. Design without delivery is a missed opportunity."
"Poor explanation - my '0-degree' comment was meant to describe the near-level hood intersection moment with the windshield...feels broken and not integrated."
"I like the rear 3/4 view - as it's probably where the concept designer spent the most time - but the near 0-degree joint of hood to windshield makes that intersection look like two disparate objects coming together, weakening the overall look with a significant 'crease' in the middle of that powerful profile. In renderings, the windshield was further raked back, off-setting that look a little, and the hood never made it to almost level at that point. Close - but feels like two incongruous elements put together at a really critical junction."
"Makes me wonder what their business model is...make a few, charge a bundle, and eke out a modest profit? I would think that would make for a challenging product pipeline."
"This design is one leaf covering the camera, or one circuit from failing to give you a view out the back. One more tech thing to rely on and replace if needed. Curious what NTSB will say about this!If the mirror were 'dynamic' relative to the position of the driver, that would be really interesting - say, if you leaned to the left and looked at the mirror, would you see more to one side than if you leaned to the other? If they could simulate the different angles at which a mirror could be looked at to see things not easily in view from a dead-on perspective, that would be interesting!"
"The Right to Repair Act cannot come fast enough to all facets of consumer products. Reducing manufacturing costs to either be competitive, drive up profits or ensure a repair/replace revenue stream leaves me sick."
"Sorry - is this meant to be innovative?There's nothing here that one cannot do without HOW you shovel the snow. Want to scoop snow to one side or one direction? Either angle your shovel *just* a little or leave an edge of your shovel off the edge of the snow, and the snow piles in the other direction. Hiving to pull out a pin to adjust would never happen. what a pain it would be if you wanted to go from angled shoveling to shoveling straight ahead to clean up. "
"Looks uniformly spaced between chairs and table, and buried as you suggest. Best guess is three pieces, aligned at the base and buried underground.Looks like there is a chip out of the 'left' chair, on the seat bottom. So, is it concrete? Poured media? Unsure. Doesn't look very stained. Interesting!"
