They could raise the price to a million dollars, doesn't effect me a bit. It's a vehicle, and a technology, I am not nor will ever be interested in owning.
These are u-bolt style clamps? I put those on with a 3/8" impact gun. If you can move the pipe, they're either not tight enough or you aren't over the pipe underneath the the other pipe.
Basically, the engineers have built this system that cannot be diagnosed, even by THEM, with any kind of surety. Even if you are looking at the backbone of the network with a scope, what are you seeing? Not the packets of information being broadcast across 2 wires, you're just watching voltage...
