maybe noted ivf hobbyist elon musk should not be pushing for more and more conservative condidates everywhere he goes if they ban ivf and surrogacy, he'll have to impregnate women by ... loving them? ew!

Kenny Logins posted:few pages ago now but the ev6 definitely has me driving faster than usual even on econ mode. i think it’s partly because it’s awd and genuinely has a lot of goose to it, but the lack of engine sound is definitely part of it too. it’s also numeric speedometer so not seeing a needle move might be involved The silence means not only do they have less of a perception of speed than in an ICE vehicle but they also draw less unwanted negative attention from the general public. Do a stoplight to stoplight pull in a Hellcat and you have the attention of everyone within a few blocks, where the same pull in an EV would only be noticed by the people who were looking at it. The sense of shame that stops most of us from flooring it around the city in ICE cars doesn't apply in the same way. The low-end torque and immediate response also change the math on taking openings in traffic which results in going after much smaller gaps than one might in an ICE car.

wolrah posted:I still haven't driven an EV of any kind myself, but I've heard a few automotive journalists note that they find themselves naturally driving a lot more aggressively when in EVs. They associate it with basically those same two factors you mentioned. my prius has the usual "pwr"/"eco" toggles and some of it is just how responsive the car is too. in eco mode everything is dampened so you have to press the pedal harder to make it move faster and it's a little slower to accellerate i leave it on pretty much all the time unless i'm driving on the freeway. with it off i definitely notice myself accelerating faster and staying at higher speeds because that's just where the car likes to sit

oh while i was on bullshit probation i finally drove the model 3 for a bit before dad got rid of it on sunday. i agree with sagebrush, other than the stupid controls and dumbass touch screen it's mostly fine i found the one-pedal mode to be pretty annoying since i generally drive automatics in manual mode if available (so i take my foot off of the accelerator when i get to the rpm i want to be at). it's not terribly difficult to adapt to but if i owned the car i would have it disabled otherwise it's fine i guess, real fast off the line of course (and it was not the dual motor one). kinda handles like a bmw 3 series or mercedes c class if you enable sport mode steering — otherwise it's not terribly responsive, more like some of the crappier cars i've driven (dodge nitro, etc)

I am extremely basic and just keep it in eco because "that's better for the planet right?" I do find myself making use of the better torque to jump through gaps in the traffic tho, even if it does get a little VRRRRMMy because I will at least not hold up the person I just jumped in front of

eco mode on every single car i've tried with one (not any recent priuses, but the 2nd gen too) just reduces the available engine power and generally makes it shift up at extremely low rpm which kinda seems antithetical to it being more economical to me? afaik a constant rpm would be more efficient than constantly changing gears, no? note i am not in any way a mechanic and know next to nothing about how engines work, so that might be a very stupid assumption/completely wrong understanding

oh this is eco mode in an automatic hybrid, so I usually just keep it as close to the "charging" section of the rev meter for the speed I'm trying to go, but when I'm taking off from a stop I just do what I can to get to a decent speed without going too far into the "non-eco" section of said meter for those that don't use them there's like "charging the battery" -> "battery with ICE if you're on a hill" -> "mostly ICE but some battery" -> ICE

i just push the pedal and the car goes. the eco button makes driving feel better to me and i don't give a poo poo about the actual mileage since it's only deviated from the usual range when i'm taking it on a road trip or w/e.Beeftweeter posted:eco mode on every single car i've tried with one (not any recent priuses, but the 2nd gen too) just reduces the available engine power and generally makes it shift up at extremely low rpm mine has a cvt so it doesnt quite "switch gears". that said it doesn't have a tachometer so it's not like i can tell where it's at.

if you're talking about, like, a PHEV then i can easily see wanting to use the electric motor from a stop. that torque definitely gets you going way faster off the line than most ICE cars, but only to a point. i've never driven a PHEV (or a normal hybrid where you could exclusively use the electric motor), but i noticed in the model 3 that it'll only get you to about 20 mph or so before you need to put more pressure on the pedal to start going faster than that like i said though i don't really have a basis for comparison there, other than torque-y ICE cars. and i've certainly driven my fair share of those (the minis all provide a very surprising amount of torque for their size/displacement), but perhaps unsurprisingly it's not really the same. i mean, i didn't really expect it to be exactly the same of course, but it's more different than i thought it'd be

lower rpm is more efficient now that we have fuel injection. Used to be with carbs the mix was rich on the low end but nowadays engines measure the air very accurately and inject just enough fuel to provide the amount of power desired via pedal input. Also internal friction goes up with like the square or cube of rpm or something the miat has a little "current and recommended gear" display on the dash and it'll tell me to go into 6th when im already loafing at 35 in 4th. its dialed in for efficiency, not power. everybody kinda laughs at it, but its nice to have i suppose

Also internal friction goes up with like the square or cube of rpm or something hmm interesting but yeah, in the mini you can easily do 40 in 2nd without redlining it (it gets kinda close though, about 6k, but it won't auto-switch you up until 9.5k). in regular "drive" full auto mode it puts you in 5th @ 40 mph though, and as you can imagine that cuts into available torque quite a bit. in eco mode you'd be in 6th @ 40. "sports" mode kinda splits the difference and puts you in 3rd @ 40 i guess it's a lot simpler in the mini than most other cars though. my dad was flipping through the cx30 manual since he just got one, and apparently on that the eco mode shuts off two cylinders

cylinder deactivation's kinda wack as a concept, but they're less bad at it now, yeah. a lot of formerly old techs are good now some mazdas have the stop-start thing that's common now, but they don't use the starter. the ECU is able to clock one of the cylinders at exact TDC when it stops it, and when you hit the gas it squirts in fuel (cause everythings direct injection now) and pops the spark to get it spinning again. basically the great great great grandson of those old motors that got started with a shotgun shell Jonny 290 fucked around with this message at 20:46 on Mar 6, 2024 |

Cat Face Joe posted:no way it's not really accurate anymore to say teslas don't work. there are millions of them out there now, mostly models 3 and Y, and most of them are working fine. they've addressed the panel gaps on those cars (yes, i continue to look at parked teslas periodically to check) and the general falling apart problems. if you have a tesla model 3 or Y and you don't use autopilot, it is a car that will get you from place to place with a minimum of fuss. i understand that the model X continues to be super unreliable with its doors, and the cybertruck is a whole other idiot garbage pile. but most people have one of the two cars they make that are, after seven years of working out the problems, finally decent.
