IIRC the path on that went something like: Original owner buys Model S with EAP and FSD from Tesla. Tesla buys back Model S due to lemon law for the yellowing touchscreen (and here's where things break down). Tesla normally turns off EAP/FSD when selling to other parties for resale prior to making the new Monroney for the auction where the dealer that sold it to owner who had it yanked out from under them, but someone hosed up and they didn't do it in time. The only real fuckup IMO is not catching it before making the new Monroney and putting the car up for auction.

Uthor posted:We have speed humps around here that one can go over at about 30 mph unless they are driving something slammed and every person driving a "I can use this to go off road" SUV or brotruck will slow down to 5 mph for. We have speed "holes" where the metal plate retracts down if you go above the speed limits (with some margin as well) and sure it's a harsh hole to go over, but it's easy to spot if you are paying attention. Even still, so many idiots keep slowing down to 10km/h below the speed limit. It's a good idea though as it doesn't madate slowing down in the same way (and probably saves a ton of energy not forcing people to slow down). They cost a ton though and if people still are being idiots that slow down, the energy savings aren't as good as they could be.

Chris Knight posted:They flipped the bitch! Is that the truck's engine you can hear eating itself alive after it flips over? I heard a story from the light vehicle workshop boss at a mine I used to work at where they had someone flip a LandCruiser around the massive roundabout coming into Kalgoorlie from the south. They left it running as they crawled out.  This is the back of the crankshaft out of the 1VD-FTV engine, which are generally insanely bulletproof. I know if you've just flipped your car you probably have other poo poo on your mind, but turning it off as soon as you can is a good move.

You'd figure half the poo poo under a hood won't work upside down. I'm surprised a modern engine won't just shut down in an event like that. Most fluid systems require some gravity component to work whether it's the fuel pump, oil pan, coolant pumps intake, etc. I'd also expect a car to be "smart" enough to shut off the engine if an airbag goes off.

I've never had the pleasure, but a crash with airbag deployment seems like it's a rather disorienting affair and would make it rather difficult to focus on driving. In fact, I'm having a lot of trouble understanding why you'd ever want the engine running immediately after the airbags have deployed, even if they were deployed in error

In case somehow the car is still moving and you need power/power brakes/unlocked steering to maneuver the car off the road or otherwise out of danger? An unlikely scenario that you'd just be driving along WHAM the airbags go off, and you're just chillin and still driving along but weird poo poo happens.

If you ever took them off road you could trip it pretty easily and, IIRC, it required pulling up the carpet in the passenger footwell to reset. My FJ62 doesn’t have anything like that. If air is moving though the AFM it will send power to the fuel pump.

Engine can be killed and still have the steering wheel unlocked and electrical power. I have an unreasonably loud car and a baby and there are times where I need to coast down my street to avoid waking her. I even have a few pumps of assisted brakes left in the booster. Saving the engine seems like a silly priority in the context of an airbag deployed accident, though, so any counter argument is worth weighing seriously. Maybe instead of saving the engine, you kill it to prevent a fuel leak? It just has the side effect of saving the engine.

The Lotus Elise / Exige has a dumb inertia switch that is hidden in the engine compartment down by the frame rail, you can trigger it on rough curbs

I recall multiple friends having the rollover switch on their Rangers fail which turns off the fuel pump, somewhere under the passenger side of the dash?

The one on my 2005 Crown Vic is in the trunk, left side up near/above the wheel well. edit: and I *think* it's the Challenger's engine still running and the accessory drive against the radiator in that video, but I'm not sure.

So your loud car wakes up your baby, and you don't like that, so you kill the engine before you get to your house... What do you do about the dozens of houses with babies that you drove past on the way home?

I'll run it closed on the street, open at the track. My current exhaust is muffled but still too loud since it's a straight through type.

I get the appeal of having a loud exhaust, but whenever I see a car with one just driving sedately in traffic, my brain thinks that the car/engine is working really hard to keep up with the grandma in the Camry next to it.

I really hate obnoxiously loud exhausts on cars that clearly don't warrant it. You aren't impressing anyone with that fart can on your 15 year old corsa you chav prick now get rid of it and find a girlfriend who is older than your car while you are at it.

One of the cars he has is a '69 Mustang with a built 351 which is really cool (I took a ride in it and thought i was gonna die) but it's ungodly loud. Then he has a lowered Silverado step side pickup with a built LS and over 800hp Then a brand new lifted 4x4 Bro Truck Edition Silverado that he takes around the corner to Publix once in awhile Then his work truck Silverado (he does lawn service) that pulls his trailer, why this one has a loud exhaust I have no idea Then his GF's brand new convertible Camaro which sounds like it should be at the drag strip Dude is gonna lose his hearing before he turns 50 Applebees Appetizer fucked around with this message at 15:58 on Apr 14, 2021 |
