biznatchio posted:The Volt had a fuel-care feature where if the gas in your tank was 12 months old (longer than 2-3 months I guess because it has a pressurized gas tank to keep the gas good longer), it would begin burning it off regardless of the state of your battery to get the fuel out of your tank before it gets old enough to cause any damage. That wasn’t to burn gas out of the tank, I don’t think. It would do that after a period of time just as a maintenance run on the engine. I once got a separate “The gas in your tank is getting too old. Either use it, or take your car to the dealer to drain it.” message.

I once got a separate “The gas in your tank is getting too old. Either use it, or take your car to the dealer to drain it.” message. The maintenance run was every 30 days, and it only ran the engine for ~6 minutes; and didn't occur at all if you actually used the engine enough during that time period. It comes with a message that tells you it's running regular engine maintenance, along with a percent completion that increases as the maintenance cycle progresses. You could defer a maintenance run once or twice (it would tell you when you started the vehicle that it wanted to do it and allow you to cancel) but then it would insist on doing it. If you interrupted the maintenance cycle by turning off the vehicle before it completes, it would start it up again from scratch the next time you turned the vehicle on. The fuel burn run is when the average age of the fuel is 365 days, and it'll run the engine until all the fuel is gone, or until you add enough fuel to lower the average age of the fuel enough. It's accompanied by a message informing you that it's running the engine due to fuel age. There's no option to defer. I had a Volt that very very rarely needed to burn gas, so I saw the monthly maintenance situation often; and even the fuel burn situation more than once (and always resolved it by just adding a little more gas to the tank). biznatchio fucked around with this message at 19:25 on Mar 28, 2024 |

Ooops, Fisker is really bad at running a business: https://www.carscoops.com/2024/03/d...vs-it-had-sold/ Also got my full (used EV) tax refund on the Bolt. It's the nicest cheap car I've ever owned. Hooray for being slightly less in debt!

No one could have predicted that the guy with a trail of failed car companies in his wake would fail at making cars, again! It is a bit of an indictment on Magna Steyr, they should know what they're doing. Unless the Fisker design was so fundamentally bad that no amount of manufacturing experience could fix it?

Magna helped get Ineos off the ground in a fraction of the time that Fisker’s been flailing, although Ineos handled their own manufacturing by buying Daimler’s old Hambach SMART plant (rip SMART, you never lived up to what you could be but you made some legitimately cool poo poo on the way)

Failson posted:No one could have predicted that the guy with a trail of failed car companies in his wake would fail at making cars, again! Magna just screws the things together and they're used to doing it for much more competent entities. Making cars is very complex and manufacturing is merely one critical piece of it. This is why most poorly managed car companies don't succeed: they never even make it to the point where they hit production.

I passed this today as it was trying to turn: Even before I realized what it was I was like, that is the ugliest color car I have ever seen, wait, it's a Cadillac, surely no, it's a Lyriq?! When I got home I immediately had to check to see if it was a factory color, surely it is awful wrap to match a corporate color or something, but no. Sorry if any of you have this color car but it was the most hideous color I have ever seen on a car, particularly a Lyriq which I generally find quite handsome.

Ford's new European EV is an ID.4 with an Explorer badge. Honestly probably would if it were offered in the US and replaced the awful VW controls.

Fresh Market sells a pound of cocktail shrimp for 17 dollars, so that's 588 lbs of cocktail shrimp (which should feed about 2,300 guests). You need to keep it on ice so figure on needing at least 100 lbs of ice to keep your shrimp cool. At 1.5L per lb of shrimp, and 0.5L per lb of water, we have 442L of shrimp cocktail and ice. The Mach E has a 133L frunk and the Model Y has a 117L frunk, so we need 4 of either car to transport our $10K of frunk shrimp. What were we talking about?

I have an objective opinion, they are extremely poorly built, they have poor ride quality, the interior is cheap and wears terribly and their controls are dangerous. I literally have not been in a 3/Y that didn't rattle like crazy. Oh, and FSD is a scam, I don't want to buy a product from a company that is openly trying to scam me.
