@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 10:01 AM Author: internet g0y Do people dislike this? Why? I've never had a car with it but I've had rentals and it doesnt bother me at all. The engine instantly restarts. Does the function degrade over time? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5724019&forum_id=2#48923583) |

Date: May 12th, 2025 10:05 AM Author: animeboi (.) Its one of the worst examples of bureaucratic brain rot. The energy costs of prematurely replacing starters, etc. is going to be way more than the energy saved. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5724019&forum_id=2#48923594) |

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 12th, 2025 10:02 AM Author: Ass Sunstein Does anyone actually use this "feature"? My car doesn't have it but every rental car does and I always have to disable it every time I start the car. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5724019&forum_id=2#48923585) |

There is no physical button to disable the feature and the menus on the touchscreen are impenetrable with the checkbox to disable this intentionally buried by a Swedish engineer who has never seen a 90 degree day in his life.

Being fatally T-boned to death would be preferable to dying of heat stroke. At least less sweaty and more dignified a way to go out. |
