I guess, turning off the engine overnight is like resetting your regular car?

No, that's turning it off.

Whats the difference?

[–] captainlezbian 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

A reset restores to proper conditions, combustion engine systems don’t do that. They also are designed to not need it (electric motors don’t need to need it either, it’s the computer that needs it)

I disagree. While combustion engines are designed for continuous operation, shutting them off does reset their operating state to a non-running condition, preparing them for the next startup sequence. This process constitutes a reset, even if the mechanism differs from computers.
