Chinese are going to take over the automobile industry for sure. Tesla who was considered ground braking is shying away from the promised small EV and moving to Taxi cars as the competition is too strong. Then comes Chery with this small EV SUV. Looks like a Mini G Class / Jimny but is fully electric.· 5 replies

Interior Specialists? Every time I go over some bumps my seats squeak quite loudly and there is a massive rattle of a nail undone coming from inside the dashboard, anybody got any suggestions I could go to? My usual mechanic just said "turn the radio up"· 2 replies

I was watching a Yangwang U8 struggling to make it up a muddy hill on Youtube. I was wondering why cant an EV be more capable off road than an ICE vehicle. Given the fact that this behemoth has 4 individual motor on each wheel it should be able to direct power to the wheel that has more grip and stop power to the slipping wheel. Cant be rocket science right?· 3 replies

I woke up one day and I now want to buy a W140. The brain works in mysterious ways. It definitely doesn't understand the concept of money since I am nowhere near affording one.· 2 replies

Question
eyepea
Is it reccomended to shift an automatic gear from D to N when stopping for traffic lights (or any other short stop) ?
Could anyone please advice me what is the general guideline when
- to shift from D to N
or
- to keep holding on the break
during a short stop depending on the duration of the stop?
Of course when going on crawling traffic and stopping frequently I guess it is not necessary to shift from D to N.
Also one will not always know for how long a red traffic light is going to be on
But say you are stopping for 30 seconds, or 1 minute or 5 minutes, what would you advice as a general guideline ?
What are the effects on the engine, auto gearbox ware, breaks, petrol consumption etc on the above two options?
Thanks!.
