As long as it hits stuff less frequently than human drivers, it’s better and we should all be thankful the tech exists

So, are you going to add in an addendum about how the mayor of Rotterdam has said no decision has actually been made and this probably won’t actually happen, like the article you linked actually says? I know rage gets clicks, but come on, have some integrity.

Final generation Commodore. 2018-2020. Badge engineered Opel Insignia, like the Regal.

EV infrastructure for premium buyers is already good to go- it’s just the owners’ garages.

We did get that. Unfortunately.

I honestly haven’t heard anything other than outrage on their behalf. But it seems the entire thing is literally fake news and ragebait that we’ve all fallen for anyways:

A 25k mile quad cab Ram 2500 with a Cummins and a manual? Nice price. That’s what people ask for beat up ones with 300k miles. 60k for a basically brand new LBZ truck is also a good price. Both of these will outlast me, you, and their new owners if maintained. 

At least a majority of the people who have a financial stake in this bridge seem to agree it’s fine. There’s plenty of valid critiques of the ultra wealthy, but this is not one. To me, this isn’t any different than a city issuing someone a permit to have a private event at a public park or similar.

...because it’s obviously cheaper and easier to just remove a part of a bridge than it is to do what you’re describing. If it was cheaper to do it your way, they would just do that. Clearly, it is not.

The city where the shipyard is located decided they like tax revenue and local employment more than they like not temporarily dismantling part of a bridge. That’s the entire story. But, rich people are evil, so everything they touch is tainted.

The ones Hyundai, Kia, and Subaru use are fine. Comparable in explodiness to other modern autos. Heck, a lot of JATCO CVTs are fine, too.

Every time I’ve changed shoes without changing wheel cylinders, the wheel cylinders started leaking about a week later, requiring the whole thing to get torn down to replace the wheel cylinder anyways. And they’re like $3 to replace so it’s no biggie to just do it when I’m in there the first time. Is this not typical?

Nah, I just take the retainer nut off, pop the thrust washer and outer bearing out, then put the wheel back on and kick/yank the wheel and drum off as one. Then the pin/washer pops off, disconnect the parking brake cable, and the whole thing comes off the car together. No messing around with special drum brake tools.…

This is wrong. K series motors will burn exhaust valves if you don’t adjust them. L series also has manually adjusted lifters. No shims either.

Luckily, manually adjusted drums are a thing of the far past. 

Lower drag, too. Disc brakes are a non-trivial parasitic loss.

Still a thing that must be done on most Hondas and Toyotas. Why they don’t just use a self adjusting hydraulic lifter, I’ll never know.

Almost every EV uses regenerative braking. Brake pad life is increased massively. I wouldn’t be shocked if the next generation of EVs never required pads to be changed ever.

Front drums are best forgotten, but rear drums are fine and I’m pretty sure you can still get them on certain small cars. Shoes aren’t that hard to replace and it’s something that’ll only have to be done once or twice in the life of the car. Disc brake parts are more expensive and have to be done more regularly than…

That’s a good deal. There’s exceptions to what I said, too. For instance, if you were to roll a unibody vehicle and crumple the crash structure, then pull it back to the right spot on a frame rack, but were still able to get it through a rebuild inspection (or if you sent it through a state that has no rebuild…
