One measure would be for car manufacturers to be able to document and even penalize usage patterns. If a driver never charges their battery, the engine power could be reduced; technically, this is feasible.”How cucked are we as a society when even automakers can punish and force you to do things their way?
the ultimate driving meme
>>535386118Just don't buy German cars. An increasingly popular approach already.
Why don’t they just make it a proper hybrid like Toyota does?Giving people the option to plug in to charge is not going to be a foot in the door for full EV adoption. I know Euro car companies don’t want to develop hybrids on Toyota’s level, because EVs are cheaper to build. But people like hybrids.
>>535386118Still not getting a driver's license
>>535386118This is why Luigi wasn't wrongall of these CEOs that believe they are our master should just be exterminatedWe don't need toyota CEOs alive who try to put kill-triggers in our cars- their entire families should all be hunted down like dogs and executed on the front lawn after their house has been burned downThe reality is that absolutely no CEO needs to survive if they work against humanityIt should be an immediate death sentence and citizens should openly slaughter CEOs who operate maliciously against societyEveryone is just tolerating their existence
>>535386118planned obsolescence and purposeful downgrading like this and what they do to phones and computers should be ILLEGAL end of discussionfuck all corpos, you WILL NOT be running things after the economy crashes again (which is happening RIGHT now)
>>535386118why would someone buy electric and never charge it? That makes no fucking sense like you are doing a scam to get a cheap car but still overpaying for gas
>>535386544>Why don’t they just make it a proper hybrid like Toyota does?what?It seems like you have no idea what you are talking about.
>>535386118This is why an NA V8 pickup truck will forever remain the most versatile vehicle.Imagine buying an electric car and they can just turn it off whenever they want.Ultimate goyim mobile.
>>535387083>That makes no fucking sense like you are doing a scam to get a cheap car but still overpaying for gaselectricity ain't cheap either and it's only marginally cheaper to run electric compared to other fuels in most of Europe.
>>535386118With a car you can go where you're allowed
>>535386118I drive Volkswagen for work. Stay far away from any German cars made after 2008
>>535387260If its slightly cheaper and convenient it makes no sense to do it and I assume the real issue is people flipping the cars
>bmw does scummy thingthis isn't really new. this is the same company that wanted to charge a subscription for heated seats already installed in their cars
>>535386118On bmw just remove the communication box… if it’s not broken already
Them talking about forcing consumers to adopt certain behaviors just shows that private corporations don't believe in capitalism and aren't even really private businesses, Europe is so bureaucratic that even big corps are just fully subservient to the government and basically enforcers for them, because they would be destroyed if they're not.>Companies could reduce engine power in an attempt to persuade drivers to charge the battery.>BMW claims it's technically feasible to apply such a disciplinary measure by artificially throttling output.What the fuck. They'll remotely make your car slower if you aren't eco friendly enough.Doesn't the battery get charged when braking anyway?
>This type of behavior has prompted many to argue that plug-in hybrids are little more than an eco-sham. Why? Buyers take advantage of government incentives and tax credits when purchasing PHEVs, but never bother to charge the battery.Same as always. Taking advantage of a government incentive and "tax credit" in the way they didn't intend is a scam. If they print a lot of money and the system goes to shit, it's the evil banks and not the central bank's fault at all. People who don't pay all the taxes the government demands are committing fraud. Etc etc. Kek. Fuck them.
>>535386118Based BMW punishing their gaylord customer base. An overwhelming proportion of dickhole drivers, at least in Europe, drive these fugly things.
i see BMW as one of the first to go out of business in the near future desu. nobody wants a pretentious faggot car that spies on you.
If your car has a computer screen in it you're a giant retard. Simple as.
>>535388057>at least in Europebmw drivers are a universal scourge. even retarded american foid/groid drivers aren't as bad.
>>535387083>running engine charges it>include external charger anyway...why? who tf knows>you could pay extra to charge it when you've already paid to charge it>globohomo BMW doesnt like this and wants you to consume extra electricityGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY
>>535386753This.
>>535387083When you have money and wanna virtue signal but don’t want to be inconvenienced
>>535386118CHILD RAPING NIGGERS
>>535386118stop buying these cars, German auto manufactures are already in a fucked situation because of Chinese EVs taking their market share
>>535387210>a pickup manlet with a truck payment higher than his trailers mortgage calling other people “got cattle”
>>535387210>posts a truck with the most unreliable n/a v8 on the market
>>535387210all new NA V8 chevy pickup trucks have onstar hardware and software built in which has that functionality to be bricked at the request of the government.
>>535390889*goy
>>535386118Why cant excess energy from the ice charge the battery?Genuinely? Why cant we do this?>inb4 its possible but they dont want you to
that's a lot of effort to avoid producing a sequential hybrid
I drive a fully electric car that was very inexpensive used, not a big range but more than enough for my city driving. Its a 2 seater so its also obviously not a family car.My girlfriend makes a good bit of money and is a woman so she had to get a vehicle much larger than she needs, thankfully I was able to convince her to get a PHEV. I haven't spent money on gas in 3 years, my girlfriend has to put in maybe $50 a month in the winter because the engine kicks on to make heat and half that in the summer. Typically one day a week she has to drive beyond the battery's range to visit her parents out of town. She could charge there while visiting but women are lazy so she pays the difference. Lazy people like niggers and women can't make it worth their time to plug their car in, Asians and intelligent whites know the value of self ownership and are happy to not get fucked at the pump but the cattle class finds pride and virtue in suffering and paying for it

>>535387210V8 pickup truck made before 2010
>>535391159Proven technology which was used in F1 for 10+ years (KERS) which also ended up being... extremely expensive and extremely unreliable.
>>535391341no you can't just unplug it. you car won't work. otherwise thiefs would just unplug them
>>535386118NIGGER
God I hate BMW Such a faggot company only being kept alive by status seeking niggers
>>535387210If your shit is made after ~2015, chances are the myconnect or onstar jew shit can do it anyway.
>>535386391only sand niggers drive german cars now, you have to be a non White incel faggot to waste your money on those pieces of nigger shit.
>>535394073>status-seekingWhat’s another car manufacturer that still MASS PRODUCES RWD sedans/coupes with bulletproof inline 6s paired with a manual (or with a god-tier automatic), that also handle well, and have good interiors. Just one please.
>>535396117>Cars designed and built in Germany are for niggers>True aryans drive RAMs designed by bean counters and assembled by Cletus and Tyrone in Alabama.
