Audi and BMW do the same thing with speakers in the exhaust of some cars.

At least with the sound coming out of a tail pipe you can still shove a potato up there.

The (at least 1st gen) BRZ/FRS has a sound tube that comes into the passenger footwell. The 12v socket plug above the glove box fits it perfectly, I just used that to block it since I was running wiring for a dash cam anyway.

PBCrunch posted:I'm not sure how this factors into the Electric Charger noise contraversy: https://www.greencarreports.com/new...20own%20sounds. “The NHTSA's comments show that, while automakers and regulators seem to agree that EVs should make noises, there is much debate over what kinds of sounds these vehicles should actually make.” Does somebody have a patent on them white noise buzzers? I wonder how well that would work in a parking lot full of cars all sounding like cats horking up a furball though.

Automakers could have a tiered monthly sound subscription. String trimmer sounds for the free tier, iron duke for budget tier, 3 or 4 more tiers, plus a bespoke/personal automotive sound design tier for halo cars.

Gomi Day posted:https://twitter.com/BurtoniMotors_/status/1560062087153459200 Have you met the people who buy Hellcats (and Hemis in general?) I get it, I absolutely get it. It's just as brilliant a move as GM and the Hummer EV being a massive truckbro. They're not made for the people who already want to buy an EV. I wouldn't use it (weeeeeeellll, maybe once otr twice...) but as long as you can turn it off, and it makes the dudebros buy one and crash it so I can get the drivetrain I'm all for it.

Darchangel posted:I should probably service those and the tensioners. Got a little rattle on startup. That's normal on any mod motor with more than 10 miles. At least I keep telling myself that. Olympic Mathlete posted:Seems Rivian also has assembly issues... Giving Tesla a run for their money on QC, by the looks of it. I don't see anything broken there that would have caused that... but definitely stuff missing. Like the upper ball joint. e: and the way it failed seems to kinda back that up - the whole assembly rotated before hitting the ground, but still looks fairly centered in the wheel well. So braking while going through a turn with no upper ball joint? e2: this post on the Rivian Owners Forum suggests they tracked it down to a specific employee's work on a specific day, so I'm guessing they use a system like what we use (where each fastener I touch is logged with my name, torque used, how many attempts were needed, and associated with the VIN). randomidiot fucked around with this message at 18:01 on Aug 20, 2022 |

Especially when people turn in front of me and there is not a car in sight behind me. The Shelby owner deserved that. The driver of the other car definitely doesn't deserve the stress that is going to be inflicted upon them.

Los Angeles has a TON of unprotected left turns which means you have to ease into the intersection, wait for the light to turn red, and then complete your left turn. Stupid loving city.
