To each his own, I suppose.
wow
Image the added weight.
Plus the edges look lame.
Hard pass.
Yes, more weight on an already heavy vehicle. I wonder what the face value of the nickels is?
I wonder how much that lowers full charge maximum distance?
Nickel-A Tesla
Talk about getting nickeled and dimed on gas mileage.
To quote my mother "that's just dumb".

Good grief.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
Glad somebody else got the joke.
Not for me. That's going to be a pain to hand wax.
It's only going to need an acetone bath!

If you ever need toll, just pick a few off!
Can you imagine how hot that car would get baking in the desert sun?
Looking at the photo, the license plate on the Jeep, the gas station sign and the tree I would guess this is in St. George Utah.
In the summer it gets to be 105 degrees. That car would get soo hot that if you touched it you would get burned and the A/C would be working overtime.
Car on it's way to TPG's for grading.
Wouldn't shiny nickels reflect light away from the car and not be absorbed by the car body as much?
Try leaving a nickel on your dash in the hot sun and then touch it, or leave it on the outside of the car on the sunroof.
Let me know your findings.
That's because you didn't cover the windows to reflect light and heat. How's the temperature on the inside of the car?
Not a project that I would choose.... Many reasons against it, so it must have been a personal focus to achieve a one-of-a-kind possession. Cheers, RickO
How many war nickels are on there....
Well, guess it's a new hail protection theory.
Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value. Zero. Voltaire. Ebay coinbowlllc
How many people will be trying to pick them off in the parking lot? It looks like a home craft job now... It's really going to look amazing in 6 moths.
I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.
I also mentioned leaving it outside the car on the sunroof. You could also set it on the hood of the car.
You could also take a nickel and place it on a board out in the sun.
You could also try it with 2 nickels and paint one any color other than black and see what one gets hotter faster.
If left outside long enough both should be close to the same temperature but the unpainted one will heat up faster.
Paint is also an insulator so the paint on the car keeps it from getting hotter faster. (other than black)
Because a nickel is thicker it will hold the heat longer than the thinner sheet metal on the car.
Leave a chrome wrench out in the sun and then touch it after an hour or two.
The old saying "A cat on a hot tin roof"
Have you or your kids ever burned your butt on a shiny metal slide at the park?
Metals generally have a low specific heat. “Specific heat” is a measure of how much energy you have to put in to a substance to raise its temperature one degree. Even though it's shiny and reflects light & heat it only needs to absorb a little of the energy to affect or raise the temperature.
Have fun trying to locate an acetone car wash.

Lol
And I thought I've seen everything?
Sheesh

Will nickle short out the batteries and the owner now has to buy a new one?

Guess it did.....................

I can't wait to see those nickels show up as "errors with cute names" (i.e. melted Jefferson) on the boards.
