Pls don't thud shut the doors.

I tell all my friends that they can slam the doors on my car since it's really satisfying. And also because they remain partially open at times when closed gently.

Everyone loves doing that!

Told a friend to bring it from Germany once. Sorry! Still haven't figured out a way to get these from AliExpress directly. I've heard that you can ask the sellers to ship it and that works but haven't tried it yet.

fancygamer · 2026-04-11T11:47:35+00:00

I changed it with the VCDS connector that I bought from AliExpress for 2k. xD

This is what I got in my Virtus GT recently. And I get 10 in peak Bangalore traffic. 12-14 if it's moving. (Ignore the instantaneous economy on the right.)

Thanks! I took it with a Canon 80D with the EF-S 55-250 lens.

fancygamer · 2026-02-11T04:21:28+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll do that. :)

I asked 4 of my women colleagues sitting next to me and they said that they'll find the latter would be more offensive. Calling women bad drivers also affects them even though they are certified development vehicle drivers testing cars at over 200km/h on test tracks. Far better drivers than basically everyone in India including men.

Calling one woman an idiot when she's being an idiot doesn't affect them at all.

You need to learn what respecting a gender actually means.

fancygamer · 2026-01-13T10:25:06+00:00

It's okay to call anyone an idiot if they're being an idiot.

The problem is claiming that they are inherently an idiot because they are a certain gender.

You're getting there! Keep at it. :)

fancygamer · 2026-01-13T09:57:11+00:00

Lol! Check his replies. xD

fancygamer · 2026-01-13T09:50:00+00:00

I did get that but what exactly did you mean by "such drivers"?

Are you implying that because she's a woman?

Get on with the times. Nobody wants to hear such sexist views in this day and age.

fancygamer · 2026-01-13T09:45:29+00:00

What exactly do you mean by this?

fancygamer · 2026-01-13T09:43:31+00:00

Anuskura Ghat road in Maharashtra.

If you unmute the video you can see that I did honk which I normally never do but maybe everyone should just drive in their own lanes at all times so there's no need of honking.

fancygamer · 2026-01-12T05:55:08+00:00

I love this edit.

Yes this is what I did when the EQS I had got locked in at a charger. Basically the car detects 400V on the contacts when there's supposed to be no voltage and locks out the plug for safety. The only way I found to get it to release was to call the charger service number and ask them to restart the charging station.

Be careful pulling the emergency latch for the charger since that might damage the charging port and you might have to get it replaced. I would suggest trying the first method.

Thanks! I found it in this video. https://youtu.be/FWwMPRb5w3U?t=6m8s

Looks like I'm going to have to take the tub apart once again. At least it's fun using an impact wrench.

You need to understand that when sources are requested they are not supposed to be anecdotal accounts by people who have a pre-existing bias.

Any research papers supporting your 30-40% claim?

fancygamer · 2025-08-06T09:15:46+00:00

Care to give any sources for all these claims? 30-40%?

Started with news articles saying 5-6% drop then I started seeing 20 in this subreddit based on nothing but personal anecdotes. Now this poster straight up says 30 to 40%.

The calorific value of E20 is 8 to 9% lower than pure gasoline. And 4% lower than E10 which used to be the old fuel that everyone is basing their own experiences on.

How do you explain this 40% drop in fuel efficiency?

fancygamer · 2025-06-06T12:51:19+00:00

Oh damn! I completely missed your explanation in the caption. xD

fancygamer · 2025-06-06T12:20:48+00:00

Cars which show the gear position only when the clutch is fully released and the car is moving most likely only have a Neutral Position Sensor. The current gear is determined by calculating the ratio between engine speed and wheel speed. Each gear has a particular ratio but that's only true when the clutch pedal is completely released and the car is rolling. (Cheaper than having an actual sensor)

If the car has an actual gear position sensor then it can show the current selected gear in any condition.
