Battery based electric vehicles of today and tomorrow.

Nuke plants should be built in urban areas like DC, Chicago, Detroit, NYC. Why ruin good farm land.

You have a very good point there, particularly NYC and DC

I would have to disgree with putting a nuke in LA though. Fault lines are never a good place to put nukes.

I've never noticed this on taillights, but I've seen where a front headlight will turn off when the corresponding turn signal is active..

I find that to very annoying.

I would have to think about that. Sure would solve some issues.

Sure coal is fine. If you don't live near the extraction area, and you don't live next to rail tracks where it's being shipped and immediately down wind from the power plant. But those places are where poor people live so.....


I vote for Nukes.

Mr Peabody's coal train has hauled it away.

I've never noticed this on taillights, but I've seen where a front headlight will turn off when the corresponding turn signal is active. This was during the daytime, so the driver didn't need the headlight to see where he's going. I assumed it was to provide more contrast for the turn signal and make it more visible.

Are you sure that what you saw wasn't two LEDs place closely together? It seems like it would be more complicated to make one light change color than to put in a second light strip.

Funny you mention that. Chrysler and RAM products actually turn ON an additional light up front when turning (cornering lamp) to assist.
Maybe that’s why they’re twice bankrupt and now owned by a Dutch company lol.

Bahahahahaha
Thats just cold, man

They say “liquified petroleum gas” on them. Hundreds of them here on sidings.
Eastern PA and NJ are heavily populated with everything from ghettos to mansions for presidents, and I’d consider their contents MUCH more explosive and hazardous than coal nuggets

YIKES!

Things in my peripheral tend to be distracting; there's nothing worse than a fly flitting up and down the windshield. I find it a bit disconcerting when somebody comes up behind me, then all of a sudden the headlight turns off and the blinker starts flashing.

Many do that with “fog/aux” lights. My Tesla and Subaru. Can’t say I’ve seen the F-150 do it, or not do it.

Yes when headlight is used for DRL the turning side headlight or DRL is usually extinguished because it is hard to see a flashing turn signal close to another light.

What are these "turn signals" some of you refer to, and where do people actually use them? It seems like many people wait until they are starting their turn before using the signal light... at that point I already have it figured out.

If the turn signal is too close the the DRL that one DRL will turn off. No vehicle's night time headlight will turn off when a turn signal is activated.

Here's Why Modern Cars Turn Off One Of Their Lights When Signaling - Jalopnik

Have you ever noticed cars shutting off one of their front lights to activate a blinker? Well, I certainly have, so to find out why I see awkward one-eyed vehicles signaling turns at seemingly every intersection, I decided to dig into it.

Mine was a reference to people who don't use their turn signals, or wait until they actually are rounding the corner.

That's just common sense. If you turn on the turn signal too early, you lose the element of surprise!

It is? Strange that I have been driving for decades and I have not had a problem seeing a turn signal next to a running light. Or headlight brightness for that matter..

BYD Delivers First Electric Cars To Customers In Norway

BYD is really the competition to Tesla at this time. BYD started out as a battery maker. It is rumored that Tesla's going to start using their blade battery in cars built in China but it's just a rumor at this point. The 3000 pound towing capacity will be a hit in Norway.

I confess that I don't signal before passing somebody for that reason. It gives them too much advance notice that it's time to step on the gas.
