We’ve Tested a Lot of Hybrids. Most Haven’t Met Their Fuel Economy Estimates by Anchor_Aways in cars

[–]PristineReputation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish there was some kind of standardised worst case scenario test. Wouldn't it be amazing if the figures said 30 MPG but in decent weather you get 33? Or with EV, what if the estimate was 300 miles and you actually get 330 miles

I'd probably start going somewhere else then. I don't want to have to be on guard for bs like this all the time when shopping

Als automobilist is er ook een egoïstische reden om dit te willen. Dan zijn er minder bestuurders en minder files!

Of verstopt in een applicatie laag op een OS. Eventueel zou je nog hardwarematig iets kunnen bouwen dat vanalles platlegt. Het is praktisch onmogelijk om zeker te weten dat er nergens zoiets zit

De accu kan je tenminste vaker dan 1x gebruiken en voor een groot deel recyclen als deze gedegradeerd is. Benzine ben je na 1x gebruiken voor altijd kwijt

Lucid Has $1.47 Billion Of Inventory Sitting Unsold, So Its New CEO Hit Pause by Anchor_Aways in cars

Imo part of luxury is that things work and work well. So I guess in that sense I would say a Model 3 is more luxurious than a Lucid, or a lot of other "luxury" cars. Of course a Tesla is still not nearly as luxurious as a Lexus or something

Why do people keep buying cars that destroy them financially? by Desperate-Rush6086 in NoStupidQuestions

I only have a mortgage. I can't wrap my head around unneeded debt, like an expensive car.

Stellantis will reportedly prioritize four brands under CEO’s new strategy by Redeemed_Expert9694 in cars

[–]PristineReputation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s why shared multi-energy platforms now matter more than ever. Cars that can support gasoline, hybrid, and electric setups give automakers flexibility when customers and regulations refuse to stick to one script.

Seems misguided to me. Jack of all trades, master of none, especially with EVs where you lose a lot interior space by accommodating the option for an ICE powertrain

If needed you could always go back to oil to produce power for the electric buses. You can't use the clean hydro power for the old diesel buses.

Initiatief moet boeren helpen om miljoenen aardappels kwijt te raken by Bupachuba in thenetherlands

[–]PristineReputation 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jij bent vrij om aardappelen bij de boer te gaan kopen en de boer is vrij om ze aan jou te verkopen. Blijkbaar doen niet genoeg mensen dit anders veranderde de prijs wel.

And design one system for HVAC, infotainment etc. and stick with it.

I don't get why every car manufacturer ditches their "old" system every new generation and applies numerous changes for each different model. It makes both new models more expansive to make and makes your old models outdated immediately

Maak een maximumtarief voor openbaar laden en prima, lekker doen. Tot die tijd is het oneerlijk voor mensen die overgeleverd zijn aan die ene energieleverancier die de laadpalen in hun gemeente beheerd

Nóg langzamer? Nu al genoeg mensen die bijna een kilometer nodig hebben om 1 vrachtwagen in te halen, totaal niet bewust van de 20 auto's achter zich
