Came to post the Delta Integrale - glad it’s been covered.
If the EV manufacturers wanted to, they could rein in the throttle so its acceleration is more linear, like an ICE-V. Then as the driver got used to the scalded-cat takeoff speed, the de-throttling could be backed off. Such a software mod, especially for rental EVs, would have to be incredibly easy to implement. Yet…
Tesladouche has taken the crown from BMW guy as the worst driver on the road without question. Speeds everywhere, hard braking, and never a turn signal. Clearly these things don’t need a turn signal stalk.
I would love to know how many of these accidents are caused in part to Tesla’s insistence to only do one-pedal driving and to not have blended braking at all. I assume that a fair number of people aren’t accustomed to operating a vehicle in this way and/or make bad habits of not covering the brake which causes slower…
An F-150 appearing to be in great shape for its age and only costs credit card money? (And I’d bet a lot of the mileage is highway miles—next to no wear ‘n’ tear.) Sure, I’d pop for it--NP all the way.
I’m painting a target against myself here with this critique, but whatever... I’ll just put my personal opinion here, sorry if I offend someone, it’s not the intention.
Fuck that. That’s way too much effort for something that is going to happen all the time. You’re basically washing and polishing your truck every time someone touches it. Yet another reason this truck is beyond stupid.
As opposed to just sticking a key into the car door, pop open the hood, and jump starting it with anything from a car to a jumper battery pack.
Saw this a couple days ago. The best part of the video is easily Jason’s illustrations of the “Cybertruck” and “911" in his diagrams.
In case you didn’t know this, Porsche offers a selection of 3 different tires as original factory equipment for the 911 Dakar, one of which is a Pirelli P Zero Winter.
Stock tires. But let’s not mention that the Porsche is AWD/PDK, because transparency is only for losers, amirite?
But now we’re talking about how they faked it instead of the impressive feat because they couldn’t help themselves but lie!
Indeed… because drag racing while towing a heavy load is a completely safe, common, and normal use for a truck.
Honestly they should be paying for your commute, and not able to talk during said commute.
