What is the typical percentage of total cost of an EV that batteries make up? I'm seeing different figures out there, some say around 30% others nearly 50%. Is there that wide of a range?

Three Olives posted:Yeah, a few weeks ago I had someone hit me being an idiot, thankfully by the time they realized they we turning though a blindspot with a car coming and some evasive driving, it ended up being just a scuff on my fender flare, but my god it was like a fraction of a second from hitting the front corner of my bumper. It was so close to taking out an LED headlight, two sonar sensors and a radar, I can't even imagine what the bill would have been. I always wonder, what would the price be to replace every part of a modern car if you tried to? Would a $30,000 car suddenly cost $300,000?

Are you talking about the MX-30? Because Mazda is not even going to sell that in the US anymore. I believe Mazda is going the Toyota route and focusing on PHEV.

bird with big dick posted:I feel like I’ve read stuff like this (not from you but on Twitter etc) numerous times before and it makes me think that FSD maybe got a little better but essentially it just “got lucky” for one or two drives in terms of the conditions it faced and will start doing dogshit stuff again soon, probably the next drive. I can't understand how anyone rational would put their life info the hands of "FSD" software. priznat posted:Oh yeah MX-30, not CX-30. I don’t understand their naming conventions there. In Canada I think we got a lot more of them as there are quite a few around but man they look horrible. Fun fact, you have to open the front door in order to open the rear door. quote:On both sides of the MX-30, there are reverse hinge-style doors similar to those that used to grace the now-discontinued four-door Hyundai Veloster. In order to open the rear doors and access the small back seat space, you need to first open the front door, then open the rear half door. There’s no quick and easy way around this, which means that tossing something into the back seats requires opening two doors instead of one.

Like this?quote:Mazda has found a unique solution to the MX-30 EV's short driving range, and it involves the company's first rotary engine since the RX-8 sports car. The new Mazda MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV is a plug-in hybrid with a small single-rotary gasoline engine that serves as a generator to charge the battery pack and allow for longer drives.

The CX-50 is made in Alabama by Toyota and the interior reflects that. It's a much different feeling product than the Mazda models manufactured in Japan which have more premium touches.

Doom Rooster posted:It feels quite premium. The leather is great, really nice accent stitching, all good materials, feels very solid. How it drives, how it looks inside and outside are great. It’s feature designs that are most of my problems. I've got a CX-9 and I know what you're talking about with autolock... The problem is a function of you being too far away from the car before it can confirm that the key is indeed outside of the car. The detection range around the vehicle to determine that the key is nearby is limited and not evenly distributed - really only 2 or 3 feet. If you are outside this range when you close the door (which is when the system activates and starts looking for the key) - let's say you fling it shut with your arm extended while standing away from the car - it ain't gonna work. Also, a passenger opening their door while you are in the process of going out of range will interfere with it as well. Basically stay within a couple feet until the last door is closed.

A phone charger isn't actually the source of power either but we still call it a charger.

cruft posted:I went off in search of some actual statistics about automation causing people do make bad decisions. This should come as a surprise to no one ITT: adaptive cruise is resulting in people driving faster. I think the root of the problem is that any driving "aid" which allows or encourages people to pay less attention to the road by assuming part of the responsibility for operating the vehicle is a bad thing despite whatever convenience it might offer.

Are BYD’s cars death traps in an accident or is that just racist propaganda?

I've always purchased snow tires for our vehicles - I live in a New England state. But I've started to question the wisdom of this with how little snow accumulation we've had the last 2-3 years. The good news is that they last quite a while since the winter months keep shrinking and each year they get less and less miles. The bad news is I'm still paying to have them put on and taken off.
