In canada for the price of the P70 I can get a cts-v. Of course its going to eat fuel and be unreliable but at that price a car can not just be a commuter.

>>15340853
electric motor are simple in every way compared to a ICE

>>15340172
Because they don't market themselves right. They should market themselves as a more MERRICUH company, and more about performance beyond a straight line. Teslas are basically being shown as boring commuter cars that can do the drag strip occasionally.

>>15340172
>Is it "theys gon take our ICE away!!" like some gun owner-tier shit?
Yes. /o/ has a lot of overlap with /k/ and /pol/, with the twitchy-fuck kneejerk reactionism to anything that helps other people's safety. Especially other people's safety from them.

>>15341223
But the electronics governing them are not so simple. And you also can't really work on them yourself anyway.

>>15341238
I think Tesla represents a possible future problem for ICE, but not in a knee-jerk way.
Tesla was boosted early on by US environmental business incentives, rather than their own merit. I think tesla could have done well either way, but it shows how the government is meddling when market transitions should be natural.
In the next few years, they will restrain ICE engines with mileage requirements, while allowing electric cars to eat and waste as much power as they want (no matter the power souce)

ICE is going to die naturally, but the US government is buying votes with environmentalism bills that don't fix core issues, only look good from the surface.

I want Tesla to succeed, but it's bittersweet knowing it's a tool in a larger political scheme.

>>15341255
well you don't work on your ECU when it's broken you change it
you don't work on electronics in your car anyway
you can't work on the motor itself neither the trans because it has almost nothing that could fail
but you can still work on any other part that isn't the engine and the transmission

>>15341275
But that's pretty much the point, though. I don't really work on / upgrade anything else in a car besides the engine and transmission.

I think we need to go back to steam.

>>15341304
kek
well you can't upgrade what is perfect
but engine and trans are what break in a cars also
that won't be a problem anymore

>>15341311
Electric cars can still use transmissions, they just would be for racing/ towing applications. You'd only need a 2 speed for racing, though.

>>15340172
They aren't very good, they have one trick and that's acceleration. Only Niggers like that over actual fun driving. If they could solve the battery problem (poor energy density, over heating when charged or discharged hard, short useful life...) and the power generation issue (you release more CO2 equivalent gasses per mile when you include the efficiency chain than with an equivalent petrol car) then we would be jumping at them.

>>15341319
well see you could swap the trans for a better one
electric cars are goat

>>15341336
that problem would be resolved if we would produce clean energy so it move the problem where it needs to be

>>15340172
Probably because they're below average cars, and their designs are between butt ugly and uninspired depending on where you're looking.

I'm pretty sure most people who now drive a new Mercedes or BMW would gladly drive an electric version with good range. It's not the EV part that people dislike so much, it's the fact that Tesla can't design or build cars for shit.

/o/ doesn't like them because

a) Normiefags worship Tesla like Apple or Beats by Dre. Their stock is massively overvalued because of it, and if you did research on it you'd learn that Musk is nothing more than an autistic investor and not Tony Stark, and that Tesla's cars are sub-par quality wise and supported significantly by government subsidies.

b) Musk has already begun advertising his auto-pilot "self-driving" feature by dear mongering against 'manual' driving cars, and shit like that actually does pose a threat because of government regulation, but mainly because of rising insurance rates.

>>15341355
But we don't produce clean energy, the percentage of US electricity generated by coal and gas has actually increased over the last 3 years as the increase in clean energy hasn't kept pace with the increasing demand for electricity. Right now BEVs are more of a problem than a solution. You can't live in a fantasy world and say in this fallacy they work, that isn't reality.

something feels wrong about it to me. I'm sure the automagics are all for it, but the day that my car shifts itself is the day I've lost interest in driving.

Not being able to feel you car shift, not being able to hear the roar of the engine, feel the road, and most of all not falling asleep at the wheel.

Don't get me wrong, a tesla can rape my shitbox in probably every way, but at the end of the day, I don't give two fucks. I'm gonna drive pre 2010 stick shift cars probably forever. To me there is no other way

>>15342557
>IC is going to die when the oil runs out, and it's going to die HARD.
not really. we'll just invest in synthetic oil.

Americans particularly, will never catch on to electric cars because we have a love affair with the idea of a gas engine brought about by the romanticism of automobiles in the 50s and 60's. with big engines and big cars, with long stretches of desert road to let loose on. that sort of Route 66 fantasy. and that will never totally go away. I mean look at how as soon as gas prices went down, Americans went back to bigger less efficient cars. with V8's specifically. Hummers and panthers are everywhere again.

when gas actually starts running low, we'll just make a synthetic replacement.

>>15340172
Performance that doesn't fucking matter (who really stops a drag race at 60mph?) in exchange for the range that would actually make it useful.

That's why.

Also, remote control is not a feature I want on anything that could kill me or someone else. Imagine a gun that could be fired or locked to safety by a remote third party. There is no such thing as a secure software system.

Acceleration is necessary for proper zipper merging
Merging/passing lanes are always too short
You have to get past that SUV before they cause a traffic jam by passing up every gap that's shorter than a quarter mile

The only way to compensate for slowly accelerating cars is to slow all of traffic

Top speed doesn't matter, you'll never legally go fater than 85 and you'll never get away with more than 90

How much driving do you have to do before you actually get a return on that investment, given the sky high price of the car, and does the battery degrade or outright die before you reach that point?

I got 40mpg in my toyota coorolla last week (literally 50/50 city highway, 5 miles of each every trip)

>>15341336
The battery lasts about 10 years and within that time, you save about 10,000 dollars on gas which is around what it costs to replace the battery.

Also if you're getting your energy from a gas power plant, you're about twice as efficient as an ICE and if you're getting it straight from a coal power plant, its about the equivalent to 30mpg in carbon pollution. Im very very far from being an environmentalist but over all, they are not worse for the environment.

SAVE THE WHALES

>>15344514
For their current "luxury" cars? (I know they're subpar interior quality wise but you get it) it would take a very long time and wouldn't be worth it if youre only goal was to save money. Their current cars are just to sell to a niche market for more money for their real goal. Their upcoming model 3 is going to be 35,000$ in which if you drive it for 10 years, youll save ~10,000 dollars so then compare and see if you would personally think it would be worth it if you wanted a '25,000' $ car that is a subpar interior wise 35,000 car. If you think it still looks like garbage and isnt worth it because you think its the equivalent of a 5,000$ used car you could fund with 3 decades of fuel and mationance then we just have to agree to disagree. And about the battery, it doesnt just break, it slowly loses range until you need to upgrade like 8-12 years later.
