Don’t worry eh, this car is skookum. Just give’er.

I think I read something like this on Jalopnik before.  It summarized that self driving cars have to drive more like jerks.

I’m from Montreal and after having lived, worked and driven a few places I would say Californians are the most like Quebec drivers I have seen. They go briskly, seem to be aware, and don’t get in your way. But the merging, Californians seem to think mergers have the right of way. Quebec drivers are faaaar from perfect…

Rented a Renault Logan in Brazil, not a bad car but that engine had no flywheel effect, very easy to stall.(My DD a the time was a manual). Others who drove the car said the same thing. Also rented a Brazilian version of the Panda, nice car too. But yeah, on a fast stretch of highway that thing was turning 4000+ rpm.…

True and I think torque is over rated since the only thing that matters is torque where the tire meets the road. But in this case I assume it makes this torque at 1 rpm since it is an electric motor. No diesel or gas engine makes this power the very second the pedal is stepped on. 

Question. If you plan to drive the car into the ground, basically until its scrap, is it better to buy new ? Buying new at least you know the car has been taken care of since day one.

The MGU makes 90 torques. That is quite a lot. That is the max torque of an econobox engine. 

Reliability, long lasting, and you can bump start(single person bump starts are a bit stressful though).

If you plan to keep your car more than a year buy a quality brand of tire. They ride smoother, grip better, last longer and even put less stress on your cars shock absorbers.  Quality tires can take more severe pothole hits without getting all wonky.  Basically quality tires are cheaper in the long run. 

How practical is 120v 15 amp charging ? I talked to one tesla owner who said that is what he used at home and it was ok and almost never used a supercharger. He also said that he only used the car for around town driving and did not drive every day, so sometimes the car was plugged in for more than 24 hours.

A Sour Kraut.

When driving winding mountain roads I tend to do it economically, easy on the straights and maintain momentum on the corners.  So the brodozers tailgating me don’t see brake lights and figure they can corner at the same speed.  Whoa !

Looks like Erik Karlsson took some hockey time off to go into movies. 

He will be supercharged with criminal offences.

Even on regular cars and regular driving its usually 3rd that goes since its the most commonly used gear. 

Your syncros rings are getting worn to hell ! Stop it ! 

Engine braking is OK but don’t be extreme about it. If you are coming to a red light just stay off the gas until about 1500 then dump the clutch. If you are puttering along in 4th and then there is a red don’t go through all the gears, that is a lot of extra wear and tear. One time I was going down a steep hill and I…

Why didn’t you use one of your own vehicles as the tow vehicle ? The Wagoneer ?

Read about that thing in a great book about area 51. (can’t recall name of book). They had to clean their tools with distilled water because the chlorine and chrome plated tools reacted with the titanium.  Also there was so much drag at high speed that if one engine flamed out the the plane would skew sideways so…

The solution is more Bolts.
