I had a rental F-150 with auto stop.

I think the term you are looking for is: "body-neutral" and does not wish to identify.

I run mine all the time, Temperature to Lo (lowest) and AC off. And (this is important) recirculate off. Normal (about) ambient air vents just like any other vehicle.

That is a mistake and obviously inconsistent with the design intent. Auto-stop is supposed to be automatically disabled in certain conditions, battery below x % is one of them.

Or two or three.

I was thinking in my mind of one that would cover the whole wheel; but I think those above look good too! I would do it if I had an XL.

That's a commonly cited concern. TRUTH is.... The difference in the two scenarios is you getting rear-ended, or you getting rear-ended by 5 mph less. The differences are not as great as most people think they are.

I opened your file on a phone. 😱 I did see that generator torque is almost always negative. Negative means it is being pushed (driven). Positive means it is pushing (driving something else.) Only positive torque was regen while ICE was on. When ICE is off, the traction motor does all the...

My point is: It's a tool. Both are imperfect tools. You can use a less than perfect tool if you have skill. And vise-versa.

I'm willing to bet your EB over-heats and goes into limp home mode or blows a hose doing that. So if you beat me to mile 7 and blow off a radiator hose, and I make it all the way, I still win.

So since you admit you don't know, quit guessing. The Hybrid is remarkably quiet in the 1250 to 2500 RPM range, where it spends 99% of it's life. People get really used to the quietness. The few times it goes to 4,000 the noise is at least double. This shocks; even scares a few people. 4,000...

Not so fast there... And I think we had another thread about this started 2 hours ago. Has about the same validity as reopening Alcatraz.

Same has been said of Ford's Hybrids. They said (20 years ago?) you could run them in a closed garage and wouldn't kill you. Yet I still have not seen anyone bring tailpipe exhaust into the cabin for heating. Think how much gas that would save in winter! Best way is TURN THE ENGINE OFF when you...

So if I tow the same load as you up the same hill as you, in a hybrid, can I slam your balls in the door of your Maverick? I'm guessing that would get a few views on the internet.

Sure. Full EV is one of the leading methods.

Please name a few.

Changes and upgrades. There is a difference.

This thread will be banned. It is political. Place your bets ladies and gents.

Dumb. 100% of vehicles need to be hybrid. Now. Demand a hybrid mandate. Do it. Do it now. Make America AutoStop Again. And Again. And Again. And Again.

Yes but.... People are talking about NOT driving their vehicles. Little to no driving, little to no wear! 😁
