Quote HistoryQuoted:  What do chip shortages have to do with soyboi's? Quote HistoryQuoted: What do chip shortages have to do with soyboi's? This is GD. You're a soyboi if you want more than steel wheels, manual windows, no AC, vent windows, manual vinyl bench seat, plastic floors, AM radio, and a floor mount hi beam switch. Oh, for 25K or under. Quoted: lol wut American designed vehicles have steadily been getting more reliable, not less. The good ole boys from Detroit designed and made less reliable trucks. Can't tell if this is satire or you're over 70. Yep, can't remember the last time an American truck folded in half because the frame rusted. My Taurus (I know, not a truck) went 220K, sold it, and that goy totaled it at 250K. Was still running like a top. My Equinox went 220K and I traded it in . Was still running like new. The new Terrain I expect to go quite a few miles also. |

If you're 15ft from the person going 25mph you aren't going to get stopped. It may at least get you slowed down to 15mph so you have a better chance of not killing the person. Also, the lane tracing that keeps you inside your lane gets pissed off if you take your hands off of the steering wheel to test it after awhile |

Companies can't just snap their fingers and have more capacity. I stand by the fact that halfway through a product cycle is too late to redesign a vehicle due to a component shortage. The ripple of that would be devastating to their own supply chain as well as parts catalog. If that part just couldn't be made anymore and will never be available again that's different, however, a delay isn't enough cause to bring that hell on yourself as a company. |

If modern comfort and convenience features are too much for the feeble minded here they should stick with their "simple and easy to work on" and apparently "more reliable" vehicles from decades ago. I don't need no chip to turn on my seat cooler. naw I am saying you don't need 50 modules to make a truck. While you don't NEED to have them, they are used in modern design to reduce wiring. Cars have a local area network, usually with a bus down each side of the vehicle for redundancy. Sometimes it's copper, other times it's fiber optic. The modules connect to the bus just like a switched computer network and provide local functions like lighting, windows, powertrain control, etc. It saves a lot of wiring since it all doesn't have to run from the front to the rear of the vehicle. When you hit the brake pedal on a newer car, the pedal switch tells a local module to send a command to the module at the rear of the vehicle that the lights actually connect to to illuminate the correct lamp. When you hit the throttle, a position switch sends commands over the network to the ECM which commands the throttle body to open - no throttle cable. My Terrain even has an electric parking brake so no manual cables are required for that and the vehicle makes sure that the parking brake is set when parking on a hill so the transmission doesn't park pawl lock. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: yep....and all the dumb shit no one asked for. That's waht happens whan you let the marketing department make decisions and not the engineers. The marketing department probably polled all Those soi bois in Dallas to see what they want in a truck Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: What do chip shortages have to do with soyboi's? yep....and all the dumb shit no one asked for. That's waht happens whan you let the marketing department make decisions and not the engineers. The marketing department probably polled all Those soi bois in Dallas to see what they want in a truck Other than fleet/wholesale almost no one buys base model new vehicles. Base model vehicle buyers seek cheap used trucks. It's a fact and the OEMs know marketing way better than you do. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It's a worthwhile debate to talk about the sensitivity of some of these systems, but there's still value in them. As the tech improves we'll see fewer and fewer false-positives like yours while it will still be there for when it's needed. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: That and the nanny shit. Take Toyota for example... You can't even buy a truck now without Toyota Safety Sense. Yep. When I bought my 17 Tacoma all that lane monitoring/auto brake stuff was optional. I was able to find one without it. Now it's standard. so like it doesn't let you run over geese in the middle of the road? asking for a friend Put it this way...I was driving my wife's Outback and went to go around a guy who was turning right and the car decided I was too close to his car, thought I was going to rear end him (I was completely fine) and the computer jabbed the brakes hard enough to scare the fuck out of me and nose dive the car a bit. Not cool. I don't want my car making decisions for me. That's cool just make it an option, not a mandate. I pay cash for my vehicles and drive them until the wheels fall off. I don't want to be nickel and dime'd fixing electrical problems and replacing expensive touchscreens and monitoring sensors. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It takes a minimum of a year to build a new fab. It's just like the primer shortage. Companies can't just snap their fingers and have more capacity. I stand by the fact that halfway through a product cycle is too late to redesign a vehicle due to a component shortage. The ripple of that would be devastating to their own supply chain as well as parts catalog. If that part just couldn't be made anymore and will never be available again that's different, however, a delay isn't enough cause to bring that hell on yourself as a company. And yet here I sit doing just that Believe me, its worth it. Maybe we like hell, I dunno. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Real trucks don’t need fucking chips. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: What do chip shortages have to do with soyboi's? Real trucks don’t need fucking chips. Chips have been in trucks since the early 70s |

Quote HistoryQuoted: My biggest gripe with new cars is how they take things that used to be simple and mechanical and replace them with digital/electronic controls that add to the vehicle cost and create expensive headaches when they fail. That and the nanny shit. Take Toyota for example... You can't even buy a truck now without Toyota Safety Sense. It’s probably required for vehicles sold in the US. |
