minus-square@woelkchen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink4•7 months ago Yeah the 2026 cars are going to be a shitshow. Why? I mean no front axle recuperation is stupid but other than that?
minus-square@frank@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilink1•7 months agoI’m really hoping they change that, without the MGU-H it seems you’d wanna recover energy as much as possible, and there’s plenty in the front axle to grab. I don’t really get it, cost savings?
