No 4Lo is for when you need max torque at low speeds. 4Lo stuck in the snow is a terrible idea because your torque multiplication is so high. You'll spin the tires for sure. Have you even done much offroading in a Wranger/4x4 truck?

You obviously stop when you shift into 4Lo. I mean than you can crawl at almost any traffic speed and not need to shift.

I want this as a wall sized poster soo badly.

That's the backseat of an Equus? I'm impressed.

Wranger, put it in 4Lo, never touch the clutch.

Cars, just like cats can not exist in partial units. You don't sell 11/27ths of a Tesla.

Press hardened boron steels are a better, cheaper and simpler to join option for high strength structures. Aluminum is great for body panels and other lower load bearing components.

He would need over 2 million produced . That's like saying I'll have cats by next year. That indicates plural cats, if I just have one cat my prediction was not correct.

That said, Ford is looking to put all of its vehicles on a diet, and if it doesn't come through a more widespread use of aluminum, it could come from carbon fiber, another material Ford is investigating.

Has anything ever come with a factory winch?

It's almost got a little shark style snaggle tooth from the side, I like it.

Say what you want, the R63 AMG was awesome.

I was just working on the materials design side of things, I don't get much involved with the mechanical guys especially that early in material development . It was more like "We can make this sample do this neat trick." The science is play is complex but it does not scale well at this point.

I also worked on a DOE…

Use your hazards when there is a hazard! Major back up causing a breaking event? Hit the button and let the car coming up on you know.

Now don't just drive with your hazards on unless you are below the minimum speed limit for some reason. If the weather is bad you should have rear fogs lit (DOT should require rear…

The problem with electric aircraft is even if you could store the energy there is a power density issue with the size of the electric motors required to make equivalent output to a modern turbofan. I worked on a superconducting copper project that would make that motor possible but that technology is a very very long…

I did some quick math. I drive 20k miles a year, my TDI gets 43 MPG combined and I fill up when the light comes on at 12 gallons used of a 15 gallon capacity.

So 20,000/43=465 gallons of fuel a year

465/12= 38.75 fuel stops a year.

By the time I find a place with diesel, fill the car up and go I'm burning 10 minutes.…

They BYD (first year there were there in the basement) had a stack of 3-4 massive lead acid batteries places behind the rear seats in the trunk. The seat back was already broken and flopping around by the middle of the opening Saturday. I went back on the second Saturday and it was all wrapped up under a cover. It was…

Look, this is Jalopnik. Just be happy the articles are in reasonably comprehensible English.

Have you ever gotten a sun burn in your car with the windows up? The glass in your car will stop 90%+ of UVA and UVB rays.

The Tesla looks like a Porsche key FOB come to life.
