Prepped And Ready For E-series Assembly

[Rickb]

We're all hoping the same.
BUT! it could be because these are just "test" vehicles.

Yes, No sense ruining a perfectly good Elgin Instrument Cluster.

Also appears to be a partial belly pan on the nose

Interesting angle the steering U-joint must make.

This one may not be scheduled for crash testing. And besides, some here might argue there is no such thing as a good Elgin...

Did anyone else notice how different the front suspension really is, compared to the P5?

However, this one is white, so it may be slated for a sudden sacrificial stop.

Didn't EM say the first E vehicle would be used for ABS testing?

I may be wrong, but I think it also includes the traction control and stability control testing as well as the ABS testing.

My assumption on color is they will do black and blue next. White was first because it finished 2nd in the last poll.
Once they have one of each color, they'll go with whatever is cheapest or required for testing.

I believe you are correct.

I said earlier that we should shelve it until I hear back from EM; I wrote to them earlier; they responded and asked for a copy of the item we were talking about; I did send them the whole picture, and the panel picture at around 12:15 (slightly after noon o'clock) Pacific time and waiting to hear back. I think they went to track down someone at the Pilot Center.

Note: Their hours are 9-3 Central time which is 2 hours later than Pacific time.

Man I want them work hours.

I can't find it now and it is driving me crazy (I know, short trip), but somebody some time ago had posted what each vehicle's destiny was.
Several of them had multiple overlapping tests to be done.

Hopefully somebody better versed than I could parse out the correct search terms and find it in here. Help!
