it's almost like you can't understand the concept that "comes from an expensive thing" doesn't equal "is good design". rich people flaunting wealth with hideously garrish car interiors doesn't make it good, unless you worship rich people

please give me some examples of good car interior design and an analysis of why they're good. i'd love to hear what you have to say.

yard salad posted:remember, in America, conspicuous consumption is sinful according to our Puritan values. work is its own reward and frugality is virtuous. that's why people dump $80k into a pickup truck: it's luxurious and well-appointed inside, but from the outside, everyone thinks you're a Good Middle Class working man. luxury cars (especially foreign cars) are viewed with suspicion. this so loving much the tesla is basically a big fat exemption to the the baseball bat speech that was made at google just before the ipo dropped. you see a red tiny loud car with a gigantic engine in the middle of it and you immediately, without thinking, know it's owner is loaded but the tesla is such a soup of bits and pieces of upper middle class cars that it takes a few seconds before it dawns on you that it cost almost as much

kwinkles posted:crazy how does it do that and not detonate? what kind of gas do they use? does it inject water to cool the mixture or something??? air to fuel ratio, not compression ratio. it's just super leaned out. insights use regular gas i assume the reason it doesn't burn the valves is b/c it only enters that mode at extremely low engine load so there's barely any fuel burning in the cylinder anyway. suffix posted:can you get it with a stick shift the insight, yes. the tesla, no. i think my favorite part about the insight (of many, many cool features) is that the 3cyl engine doesn't have balance shafts. instead, it drives the electric motor in some kind of sinusoidal wave to balance the engine and i still dont' fully understand how that work Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 05:13 on Apr 15, 2016 |

A "top" speed cut-off point is required since leaner gasoline fuel mixtures burn slower and for power to be produced combustion must be "complete" by the time the exhaust valve opens.

Sagebrush posted:air to fuel ratio, not compression ratio. it's just super leaned out. insights use regular gas but a leaner air to fuel ratio will burn hotter, so most cars don't go too high because it will warm everything up and then you blip the throttle and dump more fuel in and suddenly bammo, detonation. i am amazed.

i found this interesting article on it, where a guy adds a damper to the throttle input to the ecu to get it to stay in lean mode more. http://www.autospeed.com/cms/article.html?&A=112735 neat, i guess it just dumps enough fuel in when you ht the throttle that it cools it off?

I was riding behind a pickup truck yesterday and he had a long metal poll hanging out of the back without a little flag on it. the poll was oriented in the bed such that if anyone hit it it would pierce through the back wall of the cabin and through the driver's lower back. I guess what I'm saying is don't be a dumbass and set yourself up for impalement
