Number_6 posted:It's not fixed (the 5 second power thing). If Ford hasn't done it by now, I'm pretty sure it's a hardware/cooling issue that can't be solved easily (read: can't be solved cheaply without redesigning something). The Mach-E was absolutely designed as a grocery getter at the beginning, they were only ever planning on it having a peak power of around 260ish hp, then a Good Idea Fairy was like "Lets staple it to our Mustang brand for Brand Recognition, and also it needs more JUICE", and they came up with the AWD version with 350hp, and GT version at 480hp, but didn't beef up the cooling or power delivery system (apparently Mach E GTs were spontaneously igniting when charging or driving?) The design of the Mach E probably has parallels to the Pentagon Wars bit. orange juche fucked around with this message at 11:05 on Mar 26, 2023 |

CommieGIR posted:Most people are so sold on oil being such long interval that car companies have given them a false sense of safety when it comes to oil conmsumption. I only put like 10k miles per year on my daily driver so I just change it every 6 months, I go to the dealership because 10qts of full synthetic and a change costs me $28, since I bought the car from them, literally impossible to beat that price.

LloydDobler posted:The problem with it is it's all manual so you have to adjust it before you navigate the terrain. A self leveling setup that auto adjusts even slowly would kick serious rear end. He just needs a nerd to put a motion controller and some feedback sensors on it. I've seen that concept before that is at least partially set up to be automatic. Probably to protect his legs from being crushed without putting a full cage in front. The pedals seem to protrude a significant distance forward and down from his seat position, and while he could have caged it fully and it would have been safer, a vertical longitudinal hoop is cheaper material wise. Though, if you're worried about a couple extra steel tubes, but still building a weird articulated bug thing, then you're worried about the wrong thing, I'd think.

Olympic Mathlete posted:Love when they have it set so it pops and bangs with the car not even hitting 3k RPM. It's the best thing ever. My mustang will overrun a bit if I downshift when it's not up to temperature but that's about it, once it's warm and changes to closed loop it doesn't burble or pop or anything. It is a little fun to give it just a bit of gas and then let off and listen to it do it when you pull away from a stop or going down a hill. By the time I've hit my 2nd stop sign in my neighborhood the block is warmed up anyway and it stops as long as it's above 60f outside. orange juche fucked around with this message at 14:34 on Apr 21, 2023 |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwwG_su6R_Y Is a video but still solidly "terrible car stuff", youtuber who seemed to know his poo poo, and basically trades on being an old car guy who is something in the classic muscle scene massively misunderstands what the spring on the bottom of an oil filter is for, and assumes that the spring is for an oil filter bypass, and not the little flap valve in the bottom of the media. Proceeds to tell everyone that "yeah your car never filters any oil if you're at anything above idle".

Motronic posted:This is eric the car guy level bad. Or that idiot boomer Scotty Kilmer who made the video about hot to use crimp connectors on brake lines after making videos about washing out catalytic converts with magical substances to fix P0420s. The funniest poo poo is that there's people in the comments taking his misinfo as gospel and *actually* planning on doing an "oil filter delete" and just changing their oil more often. <50 hours of use on a non-filtered application = complete loving sludge oil, and car engines since the 1950s I think have not been designed to have any sort of bypass filter system as a thing, except to prevent emergency loss of oil pressure. RIP all those tiny oil channels. I guess if you're driving an old VW bug, there's nowhere to put the oil filter anyways, but an oil filter delete implies your car was designed for clean oil and not sludge. orange juche fucked around with this message at 00:59 on Apr 22, 2023 |

I got dinged in a parking lot one time in my MX-5, and when I sent it to Mazda for repair as the car was <60 days old, the repair cost wound up being over 20k because they basically had to cut the back half of the car off. They showed me the pictures and all that poo poo, dug out the repair manual showing what angle they were allowed to straighten the subframe from during collision repair, and showed how it was 2 degrees outside that limit, it looked like a tiny tiny ding but it was out of spec, and so Bondo and a mallet was not an acceptable repair solution. I didn't care at the time since I had full coverage insurance and I was obviously not at fault as my car was parked and I was not in it, so my insurance covered it with no fuss. The reason it bent the frame and needed a totally new rear end was because my car was low and the hit was quite high on the trunk, nearly on top of the trunk lid, and it pushed the back of the car inward and it pushed down at the point where the back of the car goes down into the unibody, kinda make a fist and rotate your wrist forward, it did that with my trunk, where your first knuckle is the connection between the rear subframe and the underbody of the car. What I'm saying is bondo, jbweld, and a mallet may not be an acceptable solution if the Rivian repair manual says "x is the acceptable tolerance for frame deformation in a collision". If the repair shop wants the repair covered by warranty they have to go by the book. (coincidentally, my MX-5 got totalled in my 2nd rear end collision with another vehicle taller than me in a hit and run, got hit at about 10mph, and it did the same thing, crumpled the frame at the point where the rear subframe joins the frame, with the added spiciness of driving the rear suspension past its stops and smashing it through the tops of the strut towers, outwardly the damage looked minor, maybe $2000 in body damage visible, but the frame damage would have been more than $25000, at which point my insurance just asked for a total loss declaration and paid it out) orange juche fucked around with this message at 00:46 on May 2, 2023 |

Isn't the Rivian truck dogshit anyways? I mean realistically no owner of a Rivian is ever going to take it anywhere where it could be expected to fulfill any capabilities of a truck.

MetaJew posted:I don't know where to find it now, but I saw a video on Instagram of a Rivian doing some sort of offroading down a fairly steep grade, get to the bottom and then climb it back up in reverse. Oh yeah, capability =/= what it's going to be used for, nobody who spends $80,000 USD (without upgrades) on a truck is going to take that poo poo offroad. Electric vehicles are amazing as rock crawling machines because of their low CoG and frame-twisting amounts of torque available from a dead stop. The only problem is the price of said electric vehicle.

BuckyDoneGun posted:Is it dogshit because it's bad, because it's expensive or because no one is going to use it for truck things? The second, because people who spend $80,000 on a truck, don't do truck things with the truck. It's very likely my own personal bias because when I look for a truck to use for truck poo poo, I get a work truck trim one with hand crank windows and no frills, instead of getting a luxury thing that is kitted out nicer than my living room. orange juche fucked around with this message at 05:43 on May 2, 2023 |

MetaJew posted:Someone explain why it's a bad idea. IDK how dually differential housings work. Safety mostly, blade digs into ground or pings off of something hard, shatters, and Luke winds up with 12 inches of carbon steel in the back of his dome. The end of the diff is very close to the ground so it pings off the ground constantly, and breaking is a concern. If that blade snaps it's going to go wherever the gently caress it wants. orange juche fucked around with this message at 17:50 on May 19, 2023 |
