Why is America so far ahead of China, Europe and Japan in electric cars?

This. People don't want electric cars. Tesla is not going to make 500K to 1 million cars a year because there won't be 500,000 to 1 million people who will buy them. People will keep buying tried and tested gasoline & diesel cars.

133 years behind Thomas Parker who put his batteries and car into series production in Wolverhampton why are Americans so far behind Britain in everything they do?
>>

>People don't want electric cars
The Model S and Model X are faster than a $500k Lamborghini. Elon Musk single-handedly made electric cars cooler and more desirable than ICE cars.
You know how suddenly everyone had to have a hybrid flagship hypercar and an all-electric concept in the works, right? That's all because of Tesla's success.

Asked for metrics that matter, posts fagrace video. The Model S and X are slower than a $25k GT86 round the 'ring the only metric that matters. Go back to crying like only your failure can cause.

They went bankrupt, were bought by the Chinese and we're renamed Karma

They were bought by the Chinese, we're renamed Karma and the fisker karma was relaunched in September as the karma revero

Henrik fisker made another company named fisker inc in October

The fisker that exists now is not the one that went bankrupt

People don't want electric cars. People don't wanna wait 30-60 minutes for every 200 miles they go if they wanna travel outside their local area.
>>
>>17144248
People hardly ever travel 200 miles, Tesla has 300+ mile options available already, and battery technology will only get better.

>Tesla has 300+ mile options already available
Yeah, for >$120,000, retard. Don't expect the Model 3 to get more than 300 miles of range, because Tesla would never let the Model 3 be better than the Model S in any way.

>battery technology will only get better
Nah. Hydrogen will win out. Toyota, Honda, and Hyundai are playing the long game.

Electric cars do not offer anything new or better over ICE cars.

>battery technology will only get better.
Look at the past 200 years of battery evolution and tell us when battery technology will rival petrol in terms of energy density and recharging time.

You do realise electric cars are the older technology right? They have had a longer development window than gas and are still a long way behind.

Germany has Streetscooter, VAG and BMW...

Electric cars have been in production before ICE, they never caught then, they won't catch now.

>>17144309
BMW has the i3 and i8 (which are both bad in different ways), VAG has no Evs in production, only concepts
>>
>>17144344
You are the one pushing the old failed technology BEVs had there day and were supplanted by newer more efficient technology. Sticking with them is the Luddite approach.
>>
>>17144359
I'd say they were probably more relevant in the early stages of car development, when people were not sure which technology is the superior one.
>>
>>17144359
Electric cars sales are literally being propped up by government incentives. When they go away, sales and lease numbers tank. Happen in the US state of Georgia, happened in Denmark.
>>
>>17144364
Err there is the e-Up! and the e-Golf both have been in production for a few years.
>>
>>17144364
>VAG has no Evs in production
Except for the E-Golf, the E-UP and hybrid versions of Golfand passat

Doesnt Elon Musk have better things to do instead of calling people spergs on 4chan

No, cause he knows Tesla and SpaceX are failing companies, and his stuff like AI and tunnels are non-starters.

>>17144423
>saving the world
Elon Musk is a businessman looking for a quick buck. He got into businesses with a lot of guaranteed government money.
>>
>>17142963
except the US has really really mediocre EV tax incentives or business benefits
>>
>>17143479
if anything, the only metric that actually matters for most of the human race is 0-60 times. Ring times and top speed are great for enthusiasts but enthusiasts are not going to touch ev for years anyway. 0-60 is what sells

>>17144263
Nigga pls. Get back to me when a car can get the nearly 700km a tank I get with my 09 Civic sedan and refuel it in less than 6 minutes.

Get back to me when I can blast the heat in the winter and AC in the summer without worrying about range.

1) once the world eventually switches to sustainable or more eco friendly energy sources, they produce zero emissions
2) instant torque is probably better for safety, and fun
really that's all you need

That's where you're wrong. The Tesla's batteries have practically only doubled capacity since the 80 miles the Baker electric could travel back in 1909. Battery technology doesn't improve fast, at all.

I'm sorry.

I detest electric cars, but that isn't a fair assessment. Lead acid batteries have a higher capacity than lithium batteries. The lithiums are just capable of dumping their power faster. Not to mention, what the fuck do you think makes that car weigh 2500 lbs? It's made of fucking wood. The chassis probably weighs 700lbs, which means that the battery is almost a ton. Trust me, the tesla would have hella range with an 1800lb battery.

The Huracan clearly looked like it was going to beat the Tesla if they kept going. Does the Tesla top out at a certain speed or does the Tesla just get a great start and eventually loses speed?

The Top speed of the Tesla is only about 130ish so on a standard autobahn between 2 cities run it would be thrashed by even a GT86 or TDi Golf.
