There might be ‘automotive majors’, but there’s also a bunch of schools that offer regular degrees with a focus in automotive applications. Any school with a Formula SAE team would probably offer a technical undergraduate degree with an emphasis on automotive applications.

Huh. I always thought the IC engine kept the 12V battery charged, not a DC-DC converter; and the 12V battery management would trigger an engine crank at low voltage. I’m happy to be corrected.

I owned a standard hybrid, and as ffoc02 pointed out, there was a software issue where the 12V battery would drain and the car would be a no-start. It was irksome, because you could have a full charge in the traction motor battery pack, but there isn’t a DC-DC converter to step down 400V to 12V. A software update…

One thing Detroit has going that pretty much nowhere else can claim? All the pre-production prototypes running around. Sure, they’re in full cammo; but where else are you going to see next year’s product, or test mules for something that’s two or three years away?

Perhaps, but I’ve also seen it referenced as spelling. It might be more precise to point out that the units were wrong; and the W for watt needs to be capitalized.

“The energy units are spelled correctly. And currency when not mentioned is obviously USD.”

Only for perpendicular parking.  If the lot is angle parking; you will pull out and be going the wrong way down the aisle.

A lot of reasons:

I believe it will use a standard J1772-style charger.  Ford already offers other PHEV vehicles, so there’s no reason they’d invent an all-new charging infrastructure here.

Founder’s Diversity and Inclusion Director’s resignation letter pulls no punches:

Leverage Henry Ford’s friendship with the guy from New Jersey. Throw some shade at the company named after that friend’s rival. Fit with the E names that start all your SUVs/CUVs.

Neutral:

There are two kinds of fire hydrants in the world. Wet barrel hydrants and dry barrel hydrants.

The video evidence of the scene does not support his [Grant] assertions.

20-25 mph is around half of top speed in reverse.[1] The hard part of that drive wasn’t that it was fast or very fast, but that it was a very straight line in reverse at a relatively top speed - which is actually not easy[2].

I actually think the top shot is a render, not a staged shot. But they don’t typically render the mast antenna, for reasons.  And no, I don’t know why.

It’s considered a styling element.

Here’s where this is particularly insidious.

Michigan typically runs at-large city councils; so the top three vote getters will be elected.

It’s an analogy — NFL owners held Los Angeles as a relocation spot to wrest concessions out of their cities up until the point that St. Louis called the bluff; but there’s a reason the NFL doesn’t work in LA. The Rams are currently drawing at 68% capacity - and that’s tickets sold; not number of people through the…
