80% of EVs are still on the road. The other 20% made it home.
Laughing my ass off!
I have a high performance vehicle that is extremely fun to drive for 1/4 or LESS the price of buying similar performance in a gas vehicle.
How is that? My cousin has a Tesla Plaid with better performance than his Ferrari, but it cost a lot more. As far as I know, that's the only real high performance electric. I've never seen a gasoline car on a lot that cost four times even the cheaper electrics.
What does an S plaid new cost vs his Ferrari new?
There’s your answer. And the plaid has the fastest 1/4 mile of any production car ever.
I just looked up prices. The cheapest model Ferrari starts at $222,000. The Plaid starts at about $130,000. So the Plaid isn't a whole lot cheaper, certainly not four times cheaper.
A Model 3P will crush a lot of the super cars and some of the hyper cars in acceleration at a fraction of the cost.
My M3P is as fun to drive as my 911, but doing a max start in the M3P costs me 30 cents, in my 911? At least a litre of 95, which is about $2 here in Sweden now.
The Plaid is insane, but you don’t need that power to compete with ICE sport cars, a M3P or a Polestar 2 will do. Hell even the Ioniq 5 or EV6 will trash most ICE competition.
On thread: It’s sad that the $25k myth is still spreading on a forum that claims to be “seeking the truth”. If you’re looking for a pack for your decommissioned Bolt, sure Chevrolet would probably site your insurance company $25k.
To change a battery in a modern EV is as unheard of as changing the engine in a modern car, and about the same price, <$10k as you don’t change the whole pack, you just replace the broken cells.
I don't even know what kinds of cars you're talking about. I know Tesla, and I know Tesla Plaid because my cousin owns two of them. But I don't know anything about those others. There is a new car company (don't remember the name) that plans to make their car battery easily swappable for a charged one at service stations. That would eliminate the charge time problem on trips or for people living in apartments.
Changing batteries in EVs is unheard of right now because they haven't been around long enough. Mandated warranty in the US is 8 years or 100,000 miles, although some batteries might last 10 to 12 years if treated just right. Because of the shortage of cars here and the high prices, many people are keeping their cars 10 years or more. That makes the gasoline car much cheaper, at least in the foreseeable future. Because of all the negatives with EVs, I may never own one. The car I own now is 2 years old, so it may be 10 years before I think of buying another.
BTW, your gas is over twice what it is for me.
Um...no. They stopped real high performance cars in the 70s. You just think your car is high performance because you never drove the real thing.! Just curious, did it come with recordings of performance cars?
Lol. Shut up. 100% torque at the press of the pedal is impossible to achieve in any gas engine.
In fact you can look up power curves on every gear for just about every performance car. Best power in 2nd gear is between 4250-4500rpm for example.
There is no power curve on an electric motor. It’s 100% when you want it.
In fact your call back to 60s cars before the epa emission standards makes you look even stupider. Sure muscle cars took a dive in the mid 70s and 80s but if you think an old stingray can hold a candle to modern engineering, you are retarded.
There’s a lot to criticize about electrics. I drive one, I know all there is to be annoyed with. But performance is the stupidest hill to die on because it’s just probably false in every metric.
Bet you can't smoke them tires.
The future of transportation is electric regardless of battery or other. The electric engine is massively superior to the old age engine.
Haters gonna hate.
You can keep your analogue cars and your analogue phones and whatever you don't want to be converted into the current/best tech.
'splain please again, how is a coal powered, weather dependent car with up to 50% grid loss, long refueling time, and extremely limited range superior?
Don't forget when it gets cold, batteries fail a whole lot quicker and may charge slow if at all.
Do you feed the engine coal?
My electrical car is fueled by water converted to electricity.
How do you generate electricity? On coal...
Water here, smartass
If staying within 100 mi of your plug is all you do great.
Nah, massive charging infrastructures where I live (first world, not third world like Americans).
Coal powered electric charging infrastructure. Wonderful.
As used turbine blades are moved by diesel burning trucks to disposal sites buried by diesel sucking bulldozers to never biodegrade. Your lithium dug by diesel sucking equipment in strip mined pits processed in acres and acres of poisonous evaporating pools. Sounds amazingly ‘environmentally climate saving’.
My "analog" landline phone will work for decades. It will even work when there are storms and the electricity goes out.
Bwhaha. Look at your phone battery and how long it lasts. A EV in harsh weather is about the same. Your travel is limited.
When you plug that thing in where do you suppose the power comes from? Don't give me that water crap.
There is not enough dams to supply electric across the USA.
Hey why don't you fly on that new electric plane?
My 460 CI F-250 is ready to plow in the morning after a foot dump. Cold, quiet, dark windless night.
No electric anything can compare.
Damn straight.
"Hey why don't you just call on that new cordless phone?"
Like I said: Haters gonna hate.
the power for my car ACTUALLY COMES FROM WATER. Your problem that the US infrastructure is as pathetic as it is your own (collective) fault. The country where I live is not nearly as shitty as the money laundering corrupt markets of US (yet) and thus 99% of our energy is clean as it can be.
And lithium batteries is just a temporarily tech until we get to the newer iteration of power storage. You can mock it all you want I don't care.
Click...the sound of the grid failing and electrics being stuck wherever they are.
Yeah, only in third world countries like the US do you need/get rolling blackout.
Must be why the third world is wading the river to live here. Don’t see any heading further north. Castreau is a great illegal immigration deterrent.
Lower tier third world people going to upper tier third world, congratulations.
Who the fuck wants to migrate to Canada? Half that shit is French and otherwise it's just a winter edition of the socialist shit they came from.
Anyway, lower tier third world people are flooding your upper tied third world for the sake of gibmedatt and to make your country a lower tier third world country.
Are you gonna brag more about all the illegals coming to fuck up your place now? Have fun.
How would you refuel your petrol car during a blackout?
From the same gasoline I use for my generator.
A huge tank in the garden? How do you power the pump?
And it's better for the environment, too. Have you ever seen a moose near a lithium mine?
