Fucking batteries. There needs to be Tesla coil powered Teslas.

Yes, but no one's trying to say the US didn't go to the Moon. At least anyone worth listening to.

Going to the Moon is hardly a fair comparison. The purpose of terrorism is entirely psychological.

Seriously, eliminate the middle man. The manufacturers could make more and the consumer could spend less. Especially since my next car purchase will involve a salesman doing nothing but collecting commission.

The better you understand a market, the better off you'll be. Doesn't matter what it is, if you do your homework first you'll always end up ahead. If you go into a repair shop with no idea what's wrong, you're gonna get ripped off. Every time I go, I have the diagnosis, I'm just looking for a repair. Same thing as

Those guys, while technically correct, sucked when it came to advice. Their solution is always to bring it to a shop. Never do they encourage listeners to actually learn.

TIL. But surely there's proprietary software?

Traction control as a specific component is banned but its function is now duplicated by all, with different degrees of success, via engine maps that manipulate torque curves and use partial firing of cylinders to achieve the a similar result. Mapping is one of the black arts of modern racing and one essentially

When have any automotive parts been inter-compatible, short of signed agreements (Mazda and Ford)?

The front's a car

Just like putting Window XP into "Classic" graphics mode turns it into Windows 2000.

Sorry for assuming willingly blocking a train is considered a crime. Maybe it's somewhere in Russia's bill of rights.

Same reason why cars have CELs instead of verbose error messages. Just tethers the consumer to the reseller.

Don't get me wrong, I was waiting for the driver of the car to get out and deck the guy.

I don't think revs are as important as having the engine under load.

higher psi would mean less grip, but you're still limited by any locking mechanism in the center diff.

No, you can't drift a FWD car because it's impossible to apply power to the rear wheels.

Trains always have right-of-way. The only way you can be involved in an accident with a train and not be at-fault is if you can prove the lights and signals weren't functional.

Cheaper and easier to use DBAN. Then you can resell the HDD, afterwards.
