Racism is strong in this one. 

I get the premise here, but I’m not convinced. Car moving around =/ Trans/Engine moving. It’s just the suspension and body moving. If the wheels are rolling back and forth a little bit and in gear then yes, the engine/trans are moving too.

I’m assuming they mean back and forth rocking, not the up-down type of vibration.

Why would trailer vibrations hurt the trans any more than vibrations while driving it on the same roads?

Right? Been a reader of this site since way back when, but sometimes I see the front page and I’m like “I do not have time to figure out what is what here, nope” and move on. The way the stories are sorted and organized is a nightmare

The other thread is too long, so I’ll say it here. The problem isn’t in daily use, it’s in yearly versatility.

This right here. This is what I keep saying. We’re not even close to having an electric truck that’s as useful as a gas truck. I will say that this would work for the vast majority of truck owners but as soon as you hook anything up behind it or load up the bed that mileage will go down drastically. And 40 minutes to…

Well power output for fuel input, nuclear is almost impossible to beat. It is also relatively safe. There are plenty of safety issues, obviously, and there is the issue of what to do with the spent fuel. But in reality there have only even been 7 incidents, since the 1950's involving nuclear plants, but most of those…

Because they can produce power 24/7, require less than 1/300th the land footprint to build, and actually require less fossil fuels to build and maintain than wind and solar?

Holds 194 MW-Hrs. That’s around 11 minutes of running a nuclear power plant. It’s spitting in the ocean level, even though it is impressive. To go with ALL wind and Solar, battery capacities will have to be in the TW/hr range, not MW/hrs.

The problem with other non-CO2 plants is the way they make power. Windy day, lots of wind power, calm day, no wind power, sunny day, lots of solar, night, not so much.

For me, it’s the fact that a chunk of Uranium smaller than the size of a couch can power an aircraft carrier for 30 years.

I don’t get the boner for nuke plants.

most cars have auto HVAC. That’s not an excuse. I should be able to adjust the climate super easily whenever I want. It was a non issue for 50 years, so why is that being taken away now? Also, even with automatic climate, touchscreens are still annoying.

Absolutely agree with the KIA TT 3.3.

You are unable to understand the unintended consequences of stopping all traffic enforcement. It would be very, very bad.

This is one of the most idiotic articles ever posted on Jalopnik.

My 2009 VW would tell me when a light was out. Some people will ignore that shit. 

Some cars do tell you that information.  The problem is people can’t be bothered to fix it.
