A Tesla Model X with a body covered in nickels is fitted with monster tires. Watch it drive over the top of a limousine in this crazy video.
However, before we can discuss those monster wheels we have to take a step back and talk about those nickels. It's a nickel-clad Model X, but why?
Lithium-ion batteries contain nickel, so why not plaster nickels over the entire body of an electric car?
Well, for starters that's just weird. Secondly, it weighs a lot.
Close to 300 pounds in nickels are stuck to the body of this Model X. One of the falcon-wing doors
won't operate due to the wait and the other needs some assistance to open, so perhaps think twice before cladding your car in nickels.
