In context · 2010s

Stop-start. Three cylinders. The Model S.

Stop-start became standard. Three-cylinder turbos replaced four-cylinder NA in the city-car class (Ford Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost, BMW 1.5 B38). Tesla released the Model S in 2012 and the Model 3 in 2017 — by 2019, every major OEM had committed to a 2030 ICE phase-out. Dieselgate hit in 2015.
