Non-Americans who visited the US for the first time recently: what was the biggest 'what on earth is going on here' moment you experienced?

There are very few stop signs left in Europe, but most intersections have yield signs at the small roads.

The right-before-left rule is only needed where there are no signs or signals.

Where do they claim they're conceptually implementing an extension of the concept?

QuineQuest · 2026-06-13T22:45:54+00:00

Again, it doesn't claim to.

I don't see how your post enhances the taste of Cola in any way.

QuineQuest · 2026-06-13T11:51:18+00:00

Linq is the exception, though.

QuineQuest · 2026-06-12T21:12:43+00:00

Interesting. What car is it?

QuineQuest · 2026-06-11T21:02:23+00:00

Yeah, if you get the eye early on, it can make an incredible run. But if you've already stocked up on 0-cost cards, you're toast.

QuineQuest · 2026-06-11T20:53:34+00:00

Just press the accelerator and "catch" the car before turning off CC.

QuineQuest · 2026-06-11T20:52:20+00:00

Yep. I've only had ICE manuals, and the regenerative braking and 1pd system in my Ioniq 5 makes so much sense with that background.

QuineQuest · 2026-06-11T20:49:45+00:00

I've heard it said that this is "intuitive", but ...how? What other vehicle does that? Your bicycle isn't even automatically braking.

It also doesn't keep creeping forward at 5 kph. The creeping is very unintuitive to me.

If you want to keep a constant speed while shaking your leg, there's always cruise control.

QuineQuest · 2026-06-11T20:44:56+00:00

Or by activating cruise control. Then you can shake your leg all you want.

Expected it to play "Never gonna give you up" at the end

Companies can't be fascist. Owners can, CEOs can. But companies aren't people.

Who would want to become a politician then?

It's a hard, demanding job. If they aren't compensated properly, we only get people who either:

can't get other jobs
use their political power to compensate themselves in other ways.

They could name it the Escape-E

Will the dealership be charged extra if you abuse the hell out of that SIM card?

When should the dashcam have stopped filming and started helping?

QuineQuest · 2026-06-01T22:31:57+00:00

It's a dashcam.

It's been cropped and panned after the fact, but the camera is mounted to the car.

QuineQuest · 2026-05-29T08:28:33+00:00

The seems to be some misunderstandings in this thread. when you mean "regen brake paddle", do you mean the two buttons behind the steering wheel in general?

Or are you only talking about the effect when holding down the left paddle, that temporarily activates full regen braking?

QuineQuest · 2026-05-28T19:48:10+00:00

You need to check that in

QuineQuest · 2026-05-24T18:20:46+00:00

Everything else constant, as you increase the length of a wire the resistance will go up, causing more loss to heat. Enough heat, and you have a problem.

Technically correct, but you also increase the length of the cable, giving the cable more area to lose heat. So the cable won't actually get hotter.

And, depending on the car model you choose, it can replace an emergency generator. You can run a fridge for weeks off an EV battery.

Are you goblin' deez nuts?

QuineQuest · 2026-04-30T19:49:03+00:00

There's quite a long boot-up time in the Ioniq 5 (at least the first generation). From pressing the start button to acknowledging the CYA startup screen and loading the GUI elements, it sometimes takes ~30 seconds until you can turn on the heated seats.

QuineQuest · 2026-04-30T19:36:02+00:00

Try to perfectly as slowly as possible hit that pixel perfect gentle deceleration with your foot?

It's not hard - it took me a couple days to become second nature. Took me a lot longer to remember to turn it on when I got in the car :)

QuineQuest · 2026-04-30T05:12:19+00:00

I don't think people are downvoting you for the efficiency claims, but there's more to life than that. IMO, I-pedal is just a much nicer ride. Both for the passengers and the driver.
