No because I didn't manage the engineers on this project. No one will know the compromises the team made.

All products are compromises. When I hear the dreaded Hybrid word, it rings alarm bells marketing compromises were made. I cannot give you the quantum but rest assured they were made.

For disconnecting the alternator, people think this is new? When were clutched alternators introduced?
