Make vehicles lower and pedestrian deaths will go down. It’s a known fact that higher hoods and grills kill people more efficiently. We’re working on avoiding collisions, we need to do more to make the collisions that happen less deadly. Make owning something taller than a forester prohibitively expensive for all…

Nope. When I use a feature on my car, I need to be able to predict what it’s going to do. If it’s ‘learning’ and changing, it’s useless. Even though it’s trying to mimic my driving, it’s the car’s interpretation of my driving, not my actual decision making and reactions.

But it comes with weight, lots of it. Also costs way more. Not equal arguments. I can get a fully loaded out 600cc sportbike for like $4k less than the above bike. I also have a 1000cc v-twin that makes 130hp with gobs of torque, but you know, nostalgia is better I guess.

Two valid questions.

Is that 20 rpm to 40,000 rpm or 20,000 rpm to 40,000 rpm?

Right? I have a 600 that puts out ~120hp. Less than half the torque, but then again, that’s what rpm, gears, and final drive are for.

You’re clearly not their target market segment. Pretty sure if you had a visor the bike would have just refused to start.

No error, it’s just ambiguous. As worded it can mean either there is a large error in the measurement or they traveled at different speeds between those two numbers. Would have been better to say “traveling at speeds ranging from X to X.”

Seems like Ford is pulling a Tesla. So much for the legacy automakers having a handle on this making cars thing.... I guess kudos for them actually reworking them though. I guess they are still ahead of Tesla in that respect?

Only imposes on fat people and people that slouch. If they lost a few pounds and put their ass back in the seat it wouldn’t be a problem. also reclining helps. If everyone reclines everyone has the same amount of room and everyone is more comfortable.

It’s disingenuous because Mr. Money bags can spout off all he wants about being an athlete on a vegan diet, but the fact of it is he’s able to do it because of his circumstances as an F1 driver. Being a vegan and maintaining his level of muscle mass and athletic performance is enormously expensive and time consuming.…

I think it’d be more efficient to be vegan, not cheaper, but time-wise I’d be better off eating tofu and leaves. Good hunting areas aren’t exactly close to me, then hunting takes time, then cleaning and processing. Also no room for a chest freezer to store my kill. I’m just going to go on buying those polluting…

I think the reasoning is that livestock eats food that is grown and going through the trouble of growing food, feeding it to the livestock, and also watering the livestock, is less efficient than us simply growing plants for human consumption.

By not consuming meat you aren’t supporting an industry that inefficiently uses resources to produce food. Growing plants uses land an water resources way more efficiently than growing meat. Can produce way more beans, vegetables, and grains with the same amount of water and land you’d use for a cow or some chickens.…

Ha! That will never happen. People like him advocate for change but rarely set an example. The only thing he does that is remotely environmentally friendly is the vegan thing. He can say whatever he wants from his platform, but coming from someone who’s lifestyle and business pollute way more than the average…

OK. The part is easy to get, but installation outside of a clean environment and without the fixturing and equipment the board manufacturers use sounds like a second rate repair. I’d expect better if it were going into my $50k+ car of the future.

Still bad examples. Timing belts are maintenance items that you expect to maintain and replace and have multiple sources for. An engine with known crank bearing failure problems is a bad engine. People excuse fluke engine failures just like people would excuse this if it were a fluke. This is not that. This part will f…

Your ECU is an outlier. They normally cost thousands of dollars new. An ECU for my car is $1,600 new.

Never had an ECU fail and none of my cars have been newer than 10 years. Most have been closer to 15. ECUs are usually the hardiest parts of a car because they are solid state and sealed. If a car has a reputation for ECUs failing at 4ish years, it’s a garbage car. No one would put up with this in any other car,…

Yeah but I can go buy a tire from tirerack and be good to go. Where the fuck to I get this flashable chip and who do I get to solder it on the board? ECUs should be for the life of the car and the life of a $50k+ car should be longer than 4 years.
