I don’t have an issue with it if they are providing an ongoing service, like internet streaming to the vehicle or other remote features that costs the manufacturer to provide. They need to be optional and shouldn’t be mandatory for the operation of the vehicle, either. Finally, there should never be a subscription to…

The big one for me is smart home control. Without access to the Google assistant, I lose the ability to control my home from the car.  I also subscribe to Youtube Music which I assume it wouldn't have.
It may work fine for you but not having the universal features that every other manufacturer has doesn’t benefit the…

I mean, this could be a concept vehicle only. If it was offered for sale, how many would they realistically sell? 10? I’m guessing that it will be possible of the claimed numbers, it won’t be street legal or legal at most tracks and will serve as only hype machine kind of like launching a car into space. It drives…

That’s an outside the box thought, but it doesn’t explain the “behind the license plate” comment.

Yes, you can literally see a bunch of karts coming up to the previous turn in the background.

I watched the video and this tech doesn’t seem to understand how these work either. The problem is he says they start to twist when the stated torque is reached which is not true at all. All steels will twist when any torque load is put on them (within their elastic range). A small torque is a small twist, large…

Australian ugga-duggas are for left hand threads.

Mechanical engineer here. Don’t use these - ever.
The theory that these work on is correct but they will only work with an impact wrench with a specific RPM and certain mass of hammer. Don’t have that specific tool, it won’t work properly. The tightening torque will be too high or too low (usually too high). Shops use…

They could do the Elantra but no one would buy it. This actually has a really good chance of selling in larger volumes. Prepare for a lot more of these types of vehicles.

I had a 1992 Grand Am with a dash light that came on when it was getting dark but the headlights weren’t switched on.  It was easy to do back then but it’s not a thing 30 years later.

Uhh... James’ post is clearly some pretty thick sarcasm.

It happened!!!

Most people know all of the normal driving tips - winter tires, drive to the conditions, check fluids, don’t be a moron, etc. Here’s a few you may not have considered:

I imagine it depends on where you live. I have one on my brush tool but have never found a use for it because everything is always frozen solid. What do you use it for that it’s better than the brush?

Yes, that one tip was a real outlier...

Winner!

How to see Earth’s shadow:

Not shitty drivers are shitty people. I’d say people that make bad life choices make poor driving decisions as well.  But yes, you’re right.

Further up north we have 6 months of it. My winter tires have been on for several weeks and the snow blower has already been in full swing this week.  There is about 6" of snow on the ground here already.

Tax varies province to province in Canada. In Ontario, you add 13% to the MSRP. That $173k becomes over $196k.
