Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

So while they'll be clinking their glasses new lithium mines will be dug, shipped 4 times, processed, manufactured and charged off the grid, in a town near you.
I read that Chinas EV uptake dropped 40% last year. Could it be that moving from the arms of the petrochemical companies further into the arms of the electricity companies has done little to improve their air quality and nothing to improve carbon emissions. Volvo has said they'll never make newer generation IC engines after the ones they have in the field now and VW has said they'll be going full electric. I think a market trend like Chinas will make them shudder. I don't know how the far left is going to get around the irony when EV's dominate but they have to start pushing for carbon-less Nuclear electric power to return, since I'm sure they'll be astonished to learn after their implementation that electric vehicles do very little to address the biggest question which is carbon emissions.
I read recently that petrochemical companies have the technology to go to full synthetic fuels. ie not fossil fuel based fuels at all. Its entirely possible that they'll be able to engineer what the emissions will be at the fuel level. Its sports like F1 where fuels are completely open under the rules where this kind of research goes on. So killing off IC motorsport is even more dangerous because that is literally the laboratory where the boundaries are pushed on its betterment. At the least IC motors should continue to be run alongside electric in hybrid form which seems to be the model that Mercedes is following But throwing away 100 year old pinnacle internal combustion technology and making a cold turkey switch to full electric to me like VW want to do is just madness. There isn't even enough lithium in the ground. I think VW are making there own noose .Last edited by sambb; 10-01-2020, 12:05 PM.
