I actually know a few “lefties” that thought guns are stupid killing machines and nobody should have them years ago. After the first trump administration they all took an about face and are now pro gun and think we should all be armed. Our government should live in fear of us. They are there to serve and protect us, and we are the ones feeding them to make it possible. Instead they take our money and give socialism to their billionaire buddies corporations or send it to Israel or bomb random countries. We should not live in fear of our authoritarian regime, it’s time to turn the tables. Don’t tread on our freedom 🇺🇸 and don’t tread on sovereign nations because u want their resources. Time the USA pulls itself up from the bootstraps instead of taking from countries that don’t have the bloated military budgets to defend themselves.

What if the “brake pedal” (potentiometer) fails? The control unit? What if a rat chews one wire of the 30 coming out of the box that controls this system? Sometimes KISS method is best, and relying on computerized controls to stop 2 tons of metal is just crazy to me. I’m not saying this is wrong or whatever, I’m just sharing my opinion lol. Call me a dinosaur but some things are pretty tried and true and hydrolic brakes are good and reliable! Air brakes can fail if a hose rubs or a tank rots and bursts but when they loose air pressure the brakes lock. These electric systems need a good fail safe

In addition to that a lot of parking brakes if not electronic are all cable and linkage actuated, not that actuating the rear brakes is as useful as the fronts but it’s better than nothing. Or just jam it in 1st or R and kill the engine before u dump the clutch and make the inside parts become outside parts 😂 I’ve been in a truck doing 20 when it windowed the block and I about shit a chicken when all 4 locked up

We already have electronic parking brakes on cars. Motor spins the piston in and it has far more clamping force than a drum on hat or lever style caliper or conventional drum. Problem is I live in New England and regularly see them come in with errors because the wires rotted off, while the hydrolics brake lines are still in tact. What’s funny about that is I work in a 4x4 shop where we set up a lot of ram steer systems (hydrolics ram used to steer the wheels) and unless it’s a buggy we set them up in conjunction with ur standard steering linkage (all mechanical links to the knuckles) because not having linkage is considered a safety hazard on the road and illegal. However, it’s totally fine that the cyber truck rear wheels are steered purely via electronics 🙄 I would NEVER trust a pair of 16 gauge wires to tell my brakes to make me stop. I’ve blown the rear brake line in my 40 year old jeep and I just vice grips the rear line shut and drove home with the front brakes only. If a wire rots off at the connector as they always do you need to replace the connector, and odds of u having spares handy and de-pinning tools and extra wire and heat shrink and crimpers etc on board are a lot lower than having a set of leathermans or vice grips or using a rock on the side of the road to ash the line and pinch it shut it before the break.
