Separate names with a comma.
"coolant overfill" can't do that. I suspect problem with circulation. For example octovalve isn't working right or something more awesome, for...
Before using ANY device user should read all safety booklets and instructions. BEFORE using the device. Car is a device. Please read the manual....
Key is "Climate scientists say that rising production of natural gas " I agree. But burning it for HEAT does not result in rising production....
Natural gas heating is definitely not something that should be phased out in near future. It is clean, very very efficient (comparable with...
The AVAS shall automatically generate a sound in the minimum range of vehicle speed from start up to approximately 20 km/h and during reversing....
I coded Leaf's external speaker to STFU when driving forward but left reverse beep on by default (can be switched off with OEM button). Way too...
PHEVs don't have that requirement even though they mostly drive electric at low speed.
I hope Tesla will one day play that sound only if it makes sense to play pedestrian "music". That means detecting people walking in parking lots,...
And why getting high quality pure sine wave 2kW (4kW peak) converter not suitable for THIS specific task? It costs around 300 bucks. And adding...
Bad design by Generac. Running ICE without removing oil moisture is even worse than not running it at all. Those who specialize for vehicle...
Just stating that doesn't make it true as well. If I had a generator that I hardly need, I would keep it without fuel and oil. I would not store...
This is theoretical reason? Because AFAIK those things are EXTREMELY rare (less than .1%). And even if they are there, they are not being used...
Winter tires (those that are NOT suitable for warm weather) exceed summer tires (incl all-seasons) at temperature below 7*C (44*F). No matter WHAT...
We should be honest, every tire has downsides. So this one: Negative - Weakness on dry roads and ice. Negative - Average wet grip, high price,...
I recommend Mitsubishi Electric (not Mitsubishi Heavy). Extremely well made. Much better than LG, Samsung... Don't oversize it. The smaller the...
It has not been confirmed that HP equipped Teslas will do lossy motor trick. Stators already changed some time ago. Also all that doesn't work if...
Yea. I'm not sure will lossy motor mode will be used if compressor is not doing that. Maybe for SuC preparation. That would help with speed....
For vehicle to be driveable windscreen must be clear. Tesla does not offer heated windscreens. But 1kW of heat can defrost windscreen for vehicle...
Disagree x 4 mongo MP3Mike Eugene Ash Big Earl Well.. as we see, resistive heaters are still there. Though they are still inside HVAC unit....
I don't believe air moisture has condensation heat to give out to the fins. Though solidification heat is available. I believe the weight of air...
Battery. Is. Not. A heat source. In cold. Conditions. Similarly Toyota is not "self charging hybrid". Patent ≠ actual design used
Sublimation between water and ice? That happens at 0*C at 1 atmosphere. Can't change that. Defrosting energy is lost, that is inevitable. Much...
Can't slow down HP because energy is required ASAP. The most amount is required within first 10 minutes. And 90+% commutes are up to 30 minutes....
Because the edge of frosting is around 0.1*C (celsius). And it's usually well below that. For example -2*C. Medium inside the exchanger gets...
Ice is a good insulator. As soon as area between fins is full of ice and no air passes through, it's done. External glycol heat exchanger will...
Resistive heater is 100% efficient. Useful for cabin heating. External AIR heat exchanger requires airflow to exchange heat. So there is a reason...
All EVs with heat pump have defrost cycle. It works only when vehicle is stationary for few minutes OR vehicle has radiator shutters that are...
Oh snap. Thread name should be Vehicle classification by propulsion system Hope moderator will fix soon. EDIT: Maybe something like that would...
I was trying to make a COMPLETE list of vehicle types according their power source. First I had to skip the idea that I will make a list of car...
Logistical and emotional issues have nothing to do with battery health. Let's keep them separate. 0% is actually VERY high voltage and is...
There are 3 cameras looking forward. Likely long-range cameras was not used before.
Same s**t happens in EU too. Some stricter measures are planned...but they are not strict enough.
Why is Audi E-Tron selling so well in Norway? Multiple reasons. It is "new" on the market. It's not cool to have exactly the same vehicle as...
So are people afraid of aluminum? No. It's not about aluminum, it's about actual design (bends, thickness, frame below the surface..) BMW has...
I confirm. I've cycled my EV between 1-7% and 80% a LOT and I have one of the best battery state in my climate.
Whatever the climate, it is never going from summer to -20*C without passing -5*C. Even in Norway, weather in winter is mostly below zero...
Split-type reversible inverter HVAC system has MASSIVE heat exchanger (outside). I estimate around 4-5 more surface area. Cars do compensate with...
And the reason WHY Tesla will never state a number...because EPA. Nissan did specify "recommended" SOC and look what happened. EPA takes BATTERY...
The reason most countries in the world chose Type2 and not Type1 is because in most places 3-phase power is actually used everywhere. In US/Japan...
They need about 160kWh of battery to get that kind of range. Yea. Maybe the will have some cars. Like few thousand.
NEDC was ultra unrealistic. WLTP is appropriate for grandpas and grannies actually. It is reachable, but not in "modern traffic". So to get EPA...
When power electronics (and AP computer) are deactivated it doesn't make sense to circulate coolant for long. Below 50*C battery does not require...
I made an article on Wiki trying to sum up ALL possible mixes in the world. Vehicle classification by propulsion system - Wikipedia. Anybody who...
Half of crashes are not due to driver in the vehicle. Rather driver in another vehicle. Dealing with second half of crashes is dealing with other...
Double complexity (e-tron has similar idea). Chademo port is useless, use adapter. CCS is the only port in "not US". So problem has been solved...
All V60-s. Of course the new one looks really good. My heart was taken by BMW 5-series Touring - similar body shape/cargo capability as that...
Charging stations that are only for 400V 500V systems are not directly compatible with 800V+ packs. Porsche Taycan has standard 50kW DC-DC...
If you keep your Model Y for 24 months expect a slap from me :D V60 is actually very reasonable vehicle :)
Some forum members are so touched by some new information. They have emotions but are incapable of really stating anything for a "counterargument"...
Actually 1990 diesels are cleaner (for health) than 1999-2004 diesels :D But 1990 gasolines are waaay worse. Since 2000 they are pretty much perfect.
