I don't think a few years old Ford Escape is really a good standard bearer for the current state of the technology.

Not with the new ones I was describing last time. Modern hybrid systems, you just drive, and it's fine, and there's nothing for you to worry about, and they don't work like the things you were describing. Anyway, that's not what he rented, unfortunately. Yeah.

No, no. These days, auto stop start turns it off not just when you're at a traffic light, but whenever the heck it feels like it.

because like you don't have to be stopped you could just be driving and it will just turn itself off and say you don't need this gas engine right now really what you you need to try you need to drive things other than hondas because i have never had that experience this is what the modern hybrid systems do they don't need like i said the modern hybrid systems use the use the gasoline engine to charge the battery and they use the battery to drive the car unless you need more power than that in which case you dip far enough into the pedal and it fires up the gas engine but if you

Lift off the gas pedal and you're driving and it's like, oh, now you don't need the gas engine anymore. I'm going to turn that off for you. You're basically driving an EV that has like a little bit of a that has not a little bit, but it has assist from the gas engine.

But most of the time, the gasoline engine is just running as a generator to charge your battery so you continue to drive it as an EV. And in that situation, you don't have to be at a stoplight for the gasoline engine to turn off.

It's also the worst of both worlds, as you noted, because you have both things in your car that you need to maintain, deal with.

This still might have been more reliable, but remember, I was suggested that you rent a Honda. I hope when you were stalled on the side of the West Side Highway, you saw the ghost of my head floating through your mind going, Honda, Honda, not Ford, Honda. There's a difference.

Just saying, I drove my 10-year-old Honda today and it got there and back without any problem.
