They had a few at the mini truck show in Laughlin. This one was simple but clean.

With the battery on the bottom that’s kind of sketchy I would think

Are they just set on the lowest setting for ride height? You can program the local potholes and it will raise up as you drive over them. Nice feature. I will play with ride height in a few. Driving the Tesla again today. Already nautious thinking about it.

My thought is they’re on air ride. I’m not sure as nobody was around the red one.

I would think those are bagged. Would be way cool if you could do that from factory :)

Really easy to lower… but not so sure as low as laying frame (er unibody). It’s a simple swap of a link in the suspension that sets the ride height to a lower setting so the computer does not override. They come with factory adjustable ride height. Pics above are likely on bags.

edit. Here’s a link to the do’hickey I was referring to Tesla link

I'm a racecar go-fast guy so anything modded purely for show doesn't do it for me at all, but I can appreciate it. Teslas have great lines

In college I had a lowered Blazer, with a sticker that said “no fat chicks, truck will scrape.” My mom and sis hated it, but I would get thumbs up from guys all the time. One day I came out to the parking lot, and the mirror was torn off. Worth it….lol

Here was a really nice Tundra. I always had minis but this full size stuff looks great

Brings back memories of some of my old builds
I went from a Dodge which was difficult with all coils, to a S10 blazer to a Mazda king cab. Only thing we ever messed with was a C notch and torsion bars.
The events were all a blast except for the tent camping.
@Melloyellovector look how far you’ve come along from those days👍🏻

Lol, you see the display the truck is in, a pool w waterfalls around it, 31 years ago 😂 I had manufactures and car guys hitting me up left n right to design and build. Best display awards regardless of how the trucks placed, I could have been SoCal Xhibits, lol
Chevy Luv, was my first mini, multplie Toyotas, then multiple full-size chevy 1500s, c-10s, mixed in a Honda and Mercedes along the way. Then kids started sucking up my attention and apparently diapers were more important. Lol

resolutions at glen helen, and endless summer in Parker were the 2 best runs every year. I don’t think we even used a tent just drink until you pass out

I wouldn't mind having a set of Eibach lowering springs for mine, they are about an inch lower and stiffer, once you get over 100 mph the thing gets a little bouncy.

Wish I would have known about that, I maybe would have stayed. I saw a few in Barstow Thursday and figured it was in Vegas.

I saw a "raced out" looking Tesla on the 40 driving home Sat and thought "WTF?".
