You get it completely wrong.

You don't maintain a shitboxtesla in the shop.

You get tons of old but good 18650s, make your own battery pack, ghetto fix e-motors (which are way simpler than combustion engines) and rip out the useless shit you don't need in the first place.

It will be glorious.

My brother thinks they are amazing and the way of "the future". Asked him what he thought about maintenance, said they will never break down.

Then again, he has a mustang.

Would be cool if you were able to take a few more shots of it

RX-Vision, 10 years after it makes it into production.

one day

>>14568596
>thinks it works this way
Do you have any idea how many volts and mah you need to even run it? Not to mention get it properly charged?

>>14568596
yea have fun with an ecu that knows when you start fucking with the batteries before it locks down forever

>people fearing maintenance of e-cars

have you ever taken a look on how those cars work?
it's actually way simpler than a conventional car if you forget about the useless smartphone shit.

>>14568616
Do you have any idea what's inside those mysterious Tesla batteries?

>>14568622
If you're afraid of an ecu, you're not a wrencher anyway.
There will be open source ecu replacements.

>>14568635
Yes, do you have idea that they aren't just hot glued, electrical tape and bubble gummed together?

Also the fact you would still be paying a few thousand dollars in batteries your way.

>>14568596
>You get tons of old but good 18650s, make your own battery pack, ghetto fix e-motors (which are way simpler than combustion engines) and rip out the useless shit you don't need in the first place
that would be illegal

>>14568643
But not the 20k as you said.
More like a 10th of that.

>>14568650
In Yurop probably.

>>14568651
>20k as you said
Faggot I'm not that guy. Since you are new to 4chan, maybe you should understand not everyone who replies to you is samefag.

faggot.

>>14568661
In the US as well, you do know their are laws on batteries in vehicles right? And also fire hazard safety, and explosives.

>>14568666
Whoa there, calm your tits.

I will try at some point, I stopped going to that meet a while ago. a bunch of swagfags who jerk off over the same lame cars weekly.

>>14568574
New battery packs cost less than $10,000, now.

Tesla is building a huge new battery factory. Which will double world wide production capacity for the cells they use.

By the time Model S start selling for less than $20,000. New battery packs will cost $1000-$2000.

>>14568691
I wonder if leasing batteries ever take off

>>14568609
>FDs are 20 years old and still cost $20,000 for an unmolested specimen

>>14568594
So has every other car in existence. Doesn't mean it's a shitbox

>>14568596

You reeaalllyy want to know what you're doing before you start fucking with high voltage (~400v) DC. People these days are blowing up their faces with single 18650's in vapes, what's going to happen when they start fucking with the 9000+ cells in their car?

DC is very different from and more dangerous than AC. Picture a fly on a electric fly swatter, now picture yourself roasting from the inside out.

A company already tried that in Israel.

Buy the EV, but you lease the battery and get your electricity to charge it through a service plan.

>>14569857
That is because all the fucking tards out there gut them because sequential turbo rotaries scare them. So the put in a single t3/4 turbo or swap to piston.

they might as well have bought a C5 corvette.

ND Miata.

The tradition has to continue.

>>14568611
yeah when we have maglev cars
