Angela Chao Dies in her Tesla on Family's Ranch Pond
Re: Angela Chao Dies in her Tesla on Family's Ranch Pond
They do go forward and reverse, but no transmission. They are more akin to your ceiling fan than a conventional vehicle.

Re: Angela Chao Dies in her Tesla on Family's Ranch Pond
I get that. My whole point was about being in forward or reverse, not some degree of forward gear.
And I am NOT implying it had anything to do with this accident. It was merely a tangent comment.

At some point we evolved past manual transmissions and some people had trouble. This is a new technology and people will make mistakes.craig11152 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2024 12:14 pmI get that. My whole point was about being in forward or reverse, not some degree of forward gear.

I'm fairly certain that Plate Cap is one of his alter egos, which makes it even more pathetic.teetoppz28 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2024 10:56 amImagine being so thin-skinned you have to put other internet forum users into an "ignore" list!audiophile wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2024 9:05 amLOL, I had TCT on ignore since Plate Cap suggest it to me. I was against the practice for years, but there is only so much foolishness one can take.
Personally, I drive manuals, and they don't suffer from sudden acceleration issues. That is an American phenomenon.
Plus I get 50 MPG in roomy16.3-foot-long car.

Re: Angela Chao Dies in her Tesla on Family's Ranch Pond
TC Talks is correct that pure EVs do not have a mechanical transmission. Everything is controlled electronically.
Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.

I think Plate Cap/Ben Zonia is one of the weirdos that works with him.

Yes. Here is article about on Tesla's related to the incident.craig11152 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2024 10:21 amShifting gears on a touch screen seems like a safety downgrade from a traditional gear shift stick you grab with your hand.

Plus one foot driving in Tesla's has trained drivers not to use the brake.
PS I like manuals because I can coast to corner in a tall gear, which cuts off fuel. Automatics tend to downshift which increases engine braking, which I don't want, to maximize fuel economy.
PPS Matt: I know who Plate Cap is, but only because of enough clues he passed over time. I don't have time for multiple accounts.
Ask not what your country can do FOR you; ask what they are about to do TO YOU!!

Remember the Edsel? Pushbutton shift is not new.
You're never too old to learn something stupid.
Re: Angela Chao Dies in her Tesla on Family's Ranch Pond
Edsel was before my time. I understand some 60s Chrysler’s had push button transmission selectors.
In the 50s and 60s peoples brains worked more. Not relying on tech to do it all for you keeps your brain on top of things.
Reading maps, etc. some people don’t know north from south or east from west, or where basic major roads are around them.
Technology has its drawbacks and advantages.

There really should be crank knobs in the front windows at least.
They/them, non-binary and proud.
Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

Re: Angela Chao Dies in her Tesla on Family's Ranch Pond
I was wondering if somebody would bring that up because those buttons are pretty much identical to a touch screen.
