and they are designated stations, not a mall, shopping center or office building, places that you actively spend time.

What I have heard from people is that the Ecoboost F-150s are not hitting as good a gas mileage as advertised but the GM V8s are doing better than advertised.
I think to try and meet MPG requirements and emissions any pickup engine isn’t going to be as reliable as they were in the early 2000s.
The battery wear is cumulative. Draining the battery from like 80% to 70% 10 times isn’t as bad as like draining it from 100-0%, but there’s still wear on it.
How does nitrous route power to the front tires? More power isn’t the only benefit of the hybrid system, it’s also being able to utilize the grip available via the front tires for acceleration and control.
Where do you see that the battery is being emptied on every launch?
Either way, you’re nitpicking.
I’d be very very interested to know if there was a hybrid system out there that used the 12V alternator to charge the 400V hybrid batteries.
The two paragraphs are directly contradictory.
465ft-lb with a 2.91 first gear and 3.55 final drive would be about 4800ft-lb to the tire.
I saw a comment somewhere else describing the GT-R as having an “old-school feel” to how it drives. That really speaks to how much the industry has changed in 15 years, because for the first several years of its existence the GT-R was the posterboy for horrific, numb, computer-controlled, total disengagement from…
Hahaha love the grays.
Wow, we already have three top-level comments defending the malfunctioning Tesla and blaming the other cars on the road.
The ST was extremely competitive in SCCA Solo and only in the last few years has the new Civic SI and GTI taken over. The RS had no issues competing with Caymans, 1Ms, and more in B Street. Objectively, they performed and were not a “long way behind.”
You’ll have to specify the DCT Focus then - the normal model with 5 speed was a great little hatch, and the Focus ST/RS are incredible cars for fans of hot hatches. Lumping them all in as the worst car of a decade isn’t fair.
Yes, a stock Coyote truck would absolutely stomp this pile. And a tuned EcoBoost would embarass this guy, his mom, and his third grade teacher.
Just how badly do you want to look like a cop, exactly?
The normal 4A (Torque-On-Demand) transfer case in the Lariat-up F-150 doesn’t have a mechanical lock, it just applies full pressure to the electromagnetic clutch for an effective lockup. Some highly-tuned EcoBoost trucks are able to push through that clutch in the first couple of gears on grippy pavement, so it does…
They did the selloff when prices were high in order to flood the market and drive prices down. Now that that worked, and with some of the mitigating factors driving high prices alleviated (various refineries coming back online), they can start to replenish. I don’t think it was a money-making endeavor, but it turned…
