Under normal circumstances it is a pure steer by wire. The clutch on the shaft is strictly for backup and likely will never be used during the life of the car.

Hornet? Like Hudson Hornet? My dad had one.

Clever. You must be a Mensa member.

Well, I guess that explains why the US is one of the most productive countries in the world.

Ok Boomer. The year is 2022. Lubricants and engine tolerances have improved quite a bit in the last 50 years.

Why not? We now need to codify not teaching sexual subjects by strangers  to 5 year olds. Something that used to be common sense.

Examples please.

So, you felt a need to double down?

Nick Cannon?

Full self driving (FSD) and Autopilot are two different things. You should know what you are talking about before you criticize. It makes you look bad.

High pressure accumulator. Just like vacuum tank in conventional systems. Do you really think they had not thought of that?

Would it be no less reliable than any other BMW? Just asking. For a freind.

No explanation is needed. Ever. The PIC was simply not comfortable with the conditions of the approach.

No, A Descent is simply recovering the energy it took to get up there. The airplane still flys like an airplane. No different than straight and level flight except you are using stored kinetic energy instead of relying on the engine power.

Can’t help yourself can you? My 2021 Tesla Model 3 SR+ weighs 3616 lbs. Compare that to a lot of cars. Heck, my wife’s Mercedes 2012 SLK 350 weighs in at about 3400 lbs. A small two seat roadster.

Another Maverick? I’ve owned four Honda Accords.

But it has three engines! Three!

I was in automotive and later heavy truck sales for almost 30 years. You are not going to be successful for that long without repeat business.

Apparently the author is not aware of the difference between Autopilot and Full Self Driving. Autopilot is standard on all Teslas now and works pretty well. Full Self Driving is a work in progress and is of questionable value in its current state. Who doesn’t know that?
