Do you think electric cars are for faggots?

>>13974285
They're in the same category as automatic transmission cars for me

>>13974285
That electric car no. That one is for trend fags that are trying to hard to fit in.

Of course not, they just need to get a bit better batteries.

>FFR 818 electric conversion is a thing
The future is bright.

In the future even the cheapest shitboxes will perform the same like buff V8s today but the problem is they all sound HORRIBLE and incredibly annoying and nothing can change that and it will always stay annoying, even if you try to get used to it.

Overdubbing it with tacky fake noises is incredibly homo, too.

>>13974698

i sure am looking forward to oil company's owning all the battery tech and mining rights

>>13974285
I think Tesla proved that it's for yuppie millenials.

Cars confirmed for going through the same shit that happened to mobile phones

People that praise the fucking Tesla like it's some technological marvel, are faggots. People that realize it's a bunch of Vape batteries with a fancy body on it and a giant Ipad that use it for commuting, are okay as long as they don't constantly fucking bragg about it.

If anybody says that a Tesla is zero maintenance or motors make full torque at 0 rpm one more time Im going to loose my shit. Stop parroting shit from Top Gear and do some research.

does it come in stick?

>>13975099
Electric cars typically have automatic-style layouts because, with almost no exceptions, they have only one gear.

So instead of being auto shifters or manual shifters, they're non-shifters.

>>13975080
but a Tesla is zero maintenance, electric motors make full torque at 0 rpm
it will beat most supercars from 0-60
you get one of the fastest cars on the road, it's packed with luxury and you're saving the environment while you're at it, too
there is literally no reason to buy anything else

A lesser known gem I had the pleasure of seeing in person.

>>13975438
I believe the model S has 2 gears, but don't quote me on that.

>>13975462
It sounds like shit m8. Electric motors can make the most incredible noises and hell some sound better than gas powered ones. But fuck making the thing sound like a tie fighter.

>>13975462
>make full torque at 0 rpm
From 0 rpm not at 0 rpm it's not a steam engine fucc-boi. If you're going to blow Musk's dick at least try to understand the mechanics.

The Tesla Roadster originally had 2 gears, but the transmission couldn't handle the torque. So now they just give you one gear - the equivalent of 1st gear. It kills the car's top-speed (no different than a gasoline car stuck in 1st gear) - the Model S tops out at 130mph. Tesla picked the gearing for the street, not the track.

That exemplifies the issue with Tesla - Tesla tailored the Model S for wealthy commuters, not the people on /o/. But Porsche is doing the same thing... with the 991-generation, Porsche has transformed the 911 into a grand tourer - the wheelbase is longer, and it's loaded with luxury features. Most people on /o/ don't have the money to buy a 911, so they tailor the car for who has the money, and the people who buy the majority of 911s commute to work in them.

>but a Tesla is zero maintenance,

Yeah if you discount all the things that break on them. Things like the fact that you need to buy a new 12 volt battery every 12-18 months. The fact that the door handles break. All those motors that fail and drivetrains that need to be replaced.

Yep, zero maintenance. Totally cheaper than buying a tricked out lexus. Totally going to last as long.

>>13974285
I think you're a faggot.

>>13976819
That must have been one really shitty tranny. According to wiki the roadster was rated for only 200 lb*ft.

>>13977346
Depending on where it is it might have failed for the same reasons the Model S is having problems.

Induction is a bitch.

>>13974820
I have the exact same air vents on my '03 Ford Focus

Am I the only person that hates how cars are using more and more huge iPads to replace physical buttons? I think stuff like >>13974820 is just too much
