Please keep your brakes rust-free people. I could never drive the way I do if you never used your brakes.Never thought of that, the discs are there for emergency breaking they would get very rusted if you literally never used them
Sorry they keep setting me off.Oh boy back to Top Gear thread again
Nearly !Wha .. wait a minute .. is that .. is that a joke I see?
I didn't say just "non-plug-in" hybrids have regenerative braking. Obviously EVs and PHEVs also have regenerative braking. I was merely saying that the big boost in efficiency of non-plug-in hybrids is the regenerative braking. Plug in stuff has other advantages as well.
Once again, what point are you trying to make?
Your statement “…in fact the big advantage of non-plug-in hybrids is that regenerative braking…” implies that other types of vehicle do not have this advantage. I was simply trying to be accurate.I didn't say just "non-plug-in" hybrids have regenerative braking. Obviously EVs and PHEVs also have regenerative braking.

That is hilarious! Funniest joke on this thread for years!Your statement “…in fact the big advantage of non-plug-in hybrids is that regenerative braking…” implies that other types of vehicle do not have this advantage. I was simply trying to be accurate.
Well OK. I obviously wasn't intending to implying anything of the sort.Your statement “…in fact the big advantage of non-plug-in hybrids is that regenerative braking…” implies that other types of vehicle do not have this advantage. I was simply trying to be accurate.
No, I didn't know, thanks!
In other words; 'Dynamic Braking' as per locomotives.An electric motor is a generator and a generator is a motor (put electricity in and it'll spin, spin it without putting electricity in and it'll generate electricity - as well as drag; which can act to slow down a car using said motor). Hence you can get away with very little use of mechanical brakes.
That said, given the ropey build quality of Teslas I'd be surprised if that many make it to 162,000 miles
Me too :-zzzzzzzzzzz.....ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Why? 'Tis only tumbleweed.
Nope, you're imagining things, 'cos I see no joke.Wha .. wait a minute .. is that .. is that a joke I see?
