My point is if you can capture some of that loss by adding piezos without increasing the overall loss then, and this is the important part, you must have the ability to reduce the loss somewhere else. If you can do that, then I claim you come out ahead by simply doing that and not adding piezoelectric crystals.

There is already some loss from the car to the road. If some of this loss can be captured, without increasing any losses to the car, then it is worth considering. That is what some of us have been trying to get across but some appear to not want to allow that possibility. The road does flex under any load so there is some energy there to consider. This is not some perpetual motion thing of something for nothing, merely redirecting existing losses to something useful.
