Interesting, I’m most familiar with VAG cars so this is news for me. Thanks for telling me something new.

Right, but if you turn off auto startstop then turn the ignition off and on again, auto startstop will be on again. You can (pay someone to) mod the ECU to have auto startstop off by default. It’s not super common though.

I agree with most you say, just two things: red car teleports from right to left of the prius, and auto startstop is a software feature and can literally be flashed to be off by default.

Hurr durr, technical blabber about why you need to reject modern conveniences and install from punchcards!

I love this location. Never been there, but it’s so familiar an generic yet super unique, whenever I see a pic of it or something I recognise it.

During my youth the world was a better place because I wasn’t aware of the badness. Now I am aware of it but not the fact that it was always there.

My youth good, your youth bad.
