@epaleezeldin Start/stop technology: where your car dies at every red light so companies get a climate participation trophy. EPA approved it, and everyone hates it, so we’re fixing it.

So you voted for global warming, rising sea levels and mass climate refugees? Are you sure about this, Trumpkins? |

Date: May 12th, 2025 10:27 AM Author: peeface it isn't instant. you're trying to make a quick left turn, hit the gas, and ooops the car has to restart itself.
also it is just there to game CAFE stats, directly raising the frontend cost of the car and prematurely wearing out the battery, starter and alternator to do it.

Date: May 13th, 2025 3:36 PM Author: peeface there really don't seem to be any.
everything seems to be based on crazy studies that claim that people spend 20% of their time idling (https://www.drive.com.au/caradvice/does-auto-start-stop-save-fuel/)
if that were true, maybe it would make some sense, but then you'd expect to just have it as a feature people could turn on and off and not some shit that is forced down people's throats.
even taking industry numbers at face value, grok thinks it would take about 3 years to save enough gas to make up for the higher purchase price, and if you include higher ongoing maintenance costs it would be an overall expense
