But the failsafe in this case would be an unlatched door. Remember the problem isn't that the door failed LOCKED vs UNLOCKED. It is that the latch mechanism couldn't function. The failsafe is the manual release which is within easy reach on the floor of the vehicle. The last thing you want is to lose power and wind up…

I’m just glad I got one proper $kaygirl a few months ago before she retired. Not that I don’t appreciate your ...attempts... to fill her shoes.

Touché.

That’s a silly argument. This isn’t something you need to memorize. If you get stuck in your car because the electronic door release fails, and you spend 14 hours not remembering that there is a latch right by your seat... come on, dude. This isn’t like learning how to write SQL and then not using it for 5 years... it…

You don’t understand. There is NO HANDLE in this car. It’s just a button. I could understand if it was a regular handle, but it isn’t. It’s a button. It's VERY obvious.

If you can’t tell the difference between a mechanical pull handle, and a button, that’s kind of scary. It’s not like they were the same mechanism that acted differently behind the scenes.

Do you also think push start cars are dumb because you need to read the manual to know where to hold the key to start the car if the fob battery dies?

I do too, and I learn ALL SORTS of interesting tidbits. But I think you’d be mistaken in your estimate. Even in car circles, most people laugh at me when I tell them they should sit down and read the Owner’s Manual. “Psh. I know how a car works.”

Then 6 months later they’re saying things like, “HOLY SHIT. THERE IS A…

No. Because electric releases are cool. You don’t buy an XLR because you want a simple, basic, easy-to-operate vehicle. You buy one because you want a fancy, cool, futuristic, complicated car.

It isn’t the manufacturer’s fault if you don’t read the instructions.

It boggles my mind that there are people who buy cars with electrical release mechanisms for the doors, and don’t IMMEDIATELY do research to locate the mechanical fail-safe, which even the dumbest of common sense would tell you existed SOMEWHERE.

It boggles my mind even more that people refuse to read the manual for…

Yeah, but how many miles did it have before they rolled the odometer back?

Apparently not. Sorry :(

Just read the rest of our thread.

Yes, the point is extravagance and extreme engineering. Which brings me back to my original comment: a W16 is WAY better than a V8 for this role, regardless of the fact that you can get the same, or even more power from a V8.

Looking at a Bugatti from a “realistic standard” is about the stupidest fucking thing you can do. As with my previous example, that’s like looking at a $100,000 watch from a “realistic standard.” Neither of them make ANY degree of sense from a “realistic” perspective.

My original comment was directed towards people who…

The Koenigsegg is in the same class only in price, and competing for top speed. In every other way, they are vastly different vehicles with vastly different approaches.

So I’ll lump you in with all the other people who still don’t understand the Bugatti.

In b4 all the stupid comments from people who think that VW is stupid for going with a W-16, when a Koenigsegg makes the same amount of power from a V8. I’m so tired of all the hate from people who have no understanding of what this car is about, lol.

I honestly can't tell if you're intentionally trolling or not, lol. It's definitely 9.5!

Nope! It’s 9.5!!!

You suck at counting.
