All of this is bathed in transaxle fluid? I thought I read that in other posts about the transaxle. The electric motors are not dry?
Unless I'm looking for it, I don't notice the change over from regen-braking to hydraulic braking at low speed (7 mph?). I'm sure there is a...
It will be interesting to see how well agressive drivers in non-self driving cars interact with self driving cars. I see some road rage happening...

I hope if the brake controller-master cylinder fails I could buy a used one. It shouldn't cost more than a used inverter or battery. But you're...

Some people say that coasting down hill and fully charging the battery to 80% then parking it in high heat can shorten the life of battery. I'm...
When was your last spark plug change? The coil/wires and many other things could cause the engine to not run well under a load. Is the car...
Yes it is. I just didn't want to walk outside to my car and take a look. It's probably about 45 mph. Wild guess.
