dissss posted:The Niro and Ioniq (OG not the 5) are more closely related, same wheelbase, similar range of drivetrain options (just larger batteries in the Niro EV) Nope. The Ionic OG has a live beam axle and the batteries are in the back of the car. Niro has double a-arm rear suspension and the batteries are under the floor in the middle of the vehicle. The chassis is totally different.

Apparently the Niro and Kona share the exact same powertrain, which is what I was confusing. Other than who provides the cells apparently

Just amend the California law responsible for the check engine light, mandate that the "Normal" driving mode has to be called "Turbo", with an on/off button that toggles Normal (now Turbo) and Turtle. eeenmachine posted:Didn't realize I specced the Razr option!

Fame Douglas posted:No one in the US knows about only passing on the left and driving in the rightmost lane. It's a lost cause. I've noticed Waze suggests the left lane, or at least HOV lanes that turn to free-to-all at certain hours and is the left-most lane. I often see cars enter the highway and go straight to it and never reach the speed limit for miles when there's no traffic. This makes people get super aggressive to pass in the middle or right lane as they weave through what traffic there is. (I don't know if the open HOV lane becomes the passing lane if on the far left, or how it's supposed to be handled when those in it don't pass, go the speed limit, or keep up with the general traffic flow.) So, I've wondered if it's a mix of that lost cause as well as navigation that tells you specific lanes.

Lol fair enough, somehow this is the first vehicle I've owned with it. Definitely blew my 9 year old's mind (along with the fake motor sound because he grew up in Teslas). The other party trick I enjoy is doing tight circles in the center of a small culdesac. I don't know if the rear wheel steering is just a gimmick or not but even though it is the size of my Model S it feels like the size of my Model 3 when turning.

Yooo I bought the acceleration boost for my Model 3 and the first time I floored it, my seatbelt tightened. Holy poo poo this car is fast now. I didn't expect to be able to feel it, but I definitely can. I can feel more power in the front motor.

Well, I have/had a MY LR on reserve that the EDD was sometime next month and then a MYP popped up in inventory up in Missouri and I might have hit the buy it now button and now I've got a MYP being delivered next week from Missouri down here to Florida. The wife just laughed at my lack of patience. So, yay me?

wolrah posted:Ah yea, driving in the DC area is just insanity and no rhyme or reason can be made of it. You shouldn't have to move over if you're doing the speed limit, since there is no way anyone could legally pass you. It sounds like you're saying that people following the law are a problem because they make people who break the law mad. Why do we placate dangerous drivers so much? If everyone drives 80, make the speed limit 80. But send tickets to anyone going >=81. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

wolrah posted:It sounded like you ware saying if the speed limit were lower you wouldn't have to move over, or that you shouldn't have to move over to let faster traffic pass if you're going more than X amount above the limit, both of which are depressingly common beliefs. This is correct. It is the way things work right now. Wayne Knight posted:You shouldn't have to move over if you're doing the speed limit, since there is no way anyone could legally pass you. This is also correct. It is the way things ought to work, according to the letter of the law. There may even be evidence that throttling aberrant speeds actually increases throughput on a given transportation corridor. I believe London has banned walking up the tube escalator for exactly this reason, and it did result in higher throughput out of the stations. I expect Wayne Knight is merely trying to envision what might happen if every driver were actually bound by the law, which I expect would be the case if (nearly) every driver were a large company with lots of money and it were easy to bring speeding charges against several hundred vehicles all at once. We already have anecdotal evidence that Waymo does exactly this. e: I guess I should throw in that the EV thread probably isn't the right place for a moot legal argument like this. Moot arguments are super interesting to lawyers and politicians, but maybe not so much gearheads. cruft fucked around with this message at 20:04 on Aug 19, 2021 |

Wayne Knight posted:You shouldn't have to move over if you're doing the speed limit, since there is no way anyone could legally pass you. Defensive driving requires that you do a lot more than assume everyone is following the letter of the law, hth Refusing to let others pass you creates a problem because you are refusing to create safer driving conditions out of a feeling that speeders need to be punished. But your job is not to punish speeders, it's to drive safely, and that means pulling into the right lane to let others pass you QuarkJets fucked around with this message at 20:11 on Aug 19, 2021 |

In high school, I was taught in driver's ed in California that you must move out of the left lane to allow traffic to pass regardless if you're driving at the speed limit. It's not your job to be a vigilante.

Rather than than thinking of it as moving over for another driver, I was taught that you don't drive in the fast lane, it's for passing, so if you aren't actively passing someone, you should not be driving in the passing lane.

No matter how fast or slow you're going, please position yourself in the rightmost lane for your direction, only changing lanes to the left in order to overtake or to use the hellish abomination that is a left-hand exit ramp. I don't care if you're going the speed limit or 20 over or whatever, if someone faster than you comes up behind you, please move to the right lane as soon as you can do so safely. Don't feel forced to speed up, just move over as soon as a reasonable gap appears. If the right lane is empty, you done hosed up by not being there already. Personally, I go the speed limit because that's just what I prefer, and I think it's silly to play "I only adhere to the traffic laws that benefit me personally", as some people do. If it's 110kph, I set the cruise to control to 110kph, instead of being all like "but if the speedo's 2% off and there's a 5% leeway before they'll actually ticket me, I can go 118kph on the cruise control!". I'm too old and have other things to think about that min-maxing my speed, to save maybe a minute at the end. There are a number of bus and truck drivers among my family and friends, and people with a need to drive professionally tend to take care not to lose their licenses, that mindset has definitely rubbed off on me. Speeding tickets are a dumb additional expenditure, which I would rather do without. Do what you want, but please keep right except to pass no matter how fast your're going, please don't tailgate and PLEASE don't brake check tailgaters.
