it really depends on how it fails either you turn the wheel and nothing happens, or in my experience with (non catastrophic) E-power steering was the steering wheel was overly “tight” to turn and letting go of the steering wheel did not allow the car to “correct” the wheels straight so when going around a corner you…

gas mileage from not sloshing fluid around via the pump.

So let’s clarify a few things - electronic steering, there is electrically boosted steering and then there is steer by wire. Electrically boosted steering usually has a similar mechanical setup with an electric motor and power source where the hydraulic pump setup would go. WRX has electric power steering, STI has…

If i remember a previous article right, its all emissions related to remove drag on the crank. I could be wrong though.

gas mileage, mostly. extra Engine driven pump takes more energy than the alternator already working.

No we want to discourage them from making any CVT’s at all, there are much better options, such as the “DSG” type DCt boxes (as long as it’s not the Ford one!).

I’m not a hill person but I come from hill people. I don’t speak redneck, but I understand it. The best way I could elaborate on Constar’s remarks is that it pays to be quiet, observant, and unobtrusive. People aren’t necessarily hostile but tribe is a big thing, and if you present as a flatlander then they know you…

I’d prefer to have the choice a big vehicle so I can haul my family around if I want to or something small with good fuel economy. I am an adult and able to make those decisions for myself. I don’t need some government bureaucrat telling me what to do.

Backup cameras mean being forced to have video screens, and that means further integration of infotainment systems. I’d much rather have a simple din slot so I can easily put in whatever radio I want.

Smoking increases the risk of silicosis. Also, 2000 cases in 17 years, big numbers there. Costing millions or billions of dollars to prevent 117 people per year from developing it. Lots of expense for just a handful of people, expense that falls on companies who have never had one of those handful work at their…

gun slit windows and gigantic C pillars are for better crash ratings

It is a “Miami Vice” Daytona, not a “Ferrari” Daytona. It’s not a replica of the replica, it’s the actual replica. Or something like that.

Didn’t Enzo see the replica and get pissed and threaten legal action? And the gracious compromise on his part was to send the show a few Testarossas so they could actually use real Ferraris.

Yes, they have now sold 13,000 up from 10,000 EV’s. Meanwhile 13,000,000 gasoline cars were sold in the same period. *numbers fabricated to make a point about percentage increases.

No, people aren’t buying EV’S because batteries fucking suck. People won’t start buying them until they can be recharged in 5 minutes and there are universal supercharging stations at every gas station.

So you’re fine with CORPORATIONS trying to MAKE MONEY?!?!?!
Get out of my Starbucks. I didn’t study art appreciation and feminine studies for 8 years to serve coffee to the likes of you.

He isn’t wrong about the power demand. Once we have mass conversion, we will need new powerplants. Granted this is years down the line. We aren’t building new coal plants or natural gas plants. Heaven forbid we actually build a new nuclear plant. Renewables aren’t continuous enough - except hydro and we aren’t…
