>>17210897
I'm only mentioning Musk by name because his company is the biggest driving force in the EV market right now. My issues with EVs stem from charging time, vehicle weight, and the tendency to "app-ify" any car with an electric motor.

Teslas are solid cars, they're fast, they're comfy, they've got great range (500miles is more than most of the shitty econo-sportsmobiles that /o/ drives which is proof in itself that it's plenty) sure you've got to pay an early adopter tax but they're great cars in their own right. The problem stems from their supporters thinking that electric is better and their detractors thinking that electric is worse. Just like how stancefags think destroying a car looks good and sane human beings don't, just like how tuners think a 650hp j2z is cooler than a 650hp v8 and muscle car guys think the opposite. Why do we have to fight, can't we just all get along and like each others cars? (Except for those fucking stancefags)

>>17210950
>can't we just all get along and like each others cars?
no you faggot. back to speedhunters with ur gay rhetoric.

My problem is that Teslas are shit, there fan boys ruin any cred they ever had.

The hyperloop is stupid, cause creating vaccums is a bad idea,Especialy without a Vaccum break.

But, MY BIGGEST ISSUE, that they dont last, like say a battery pack for a EV car is $4k, and every 7 years you need a new battery pack.

With that in mind, my corolla is 28 years old, its cost me $1900 and probaby $2k in repairs and up keep, so: if a tesla needs a new battery pack every 7 years and costs $4k so ypu wpuld need to spend $12k to keep it on the road as long as my corolla

>>17210950
the 100D (longest range model) doesn't to anywhere near 500 miles. looking at Tesla's own site (70 F temp with AC off going 65MPH), it gets 351. you CAN get 514 by going 45 the whole trip, but who measures range with such stupid conditions as that?
it's impressive range regardless, but try not to oversell it. we get enough "magic tesla car" as it is

the Model S is about the same weight as the S class, 7 series, and a8.

charging time is irrelevant unless you are less than 10% of drivers.

>>17211062
considering I run with low fuel pretty often, I might be in that niche. Plus, I find the S class to be far nicer inside than the Model S. they used that extra weight for interior stuff, not drivetrain.

>>17211062
>charging time is irrelevant
If you're a worthless NEET maybe. For everyone else the difference between filling up in 5 minutes and spending an hour near a charging point is quite relevant. Not to mention Supercharging actually degrades the battery quite significantly.

>>17211098
>>17211074
https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ohim/onh00/bar8.htm

most people drive less than 80 miles per day.

>>17211098
the best charging for the life of the battery is 120V with an adapter, and is about 3-5 miles for each hour of charging depending on the circuit breaker.

>>17211126
but then the question becomes how often do I remember to charge and what happens if I do take a trip beyond the range limit?

I have nothing against people using electric cars
I just won't, I dont want to see ICEs banned and full fledged electrics have no place in motorsport because they always get btfo

batteries only take a hit if they get hot and stay hot. which could corrode the lithium anode.

EV batteries have gotten better about tolerating heat in the past few years. Tesla has liquid cooling for their pack.

fast charging is also something you are supposed to do infrequently. using 240v or 120v for majority of your charging.

>>17211182

>>17211181
battery packs are incredibly easy to self fix. provided you follow some basic electricity safety. people have been changing out bad cells in Prius packs since they first came out.

everything else is whole component replacement and fairly straight forward.

>>17211182

>>17211217
can you remove most of the batteries from the model S and make it faster? like dropping most of it, having fun at the strip/ time attack/ conefagging/etc then putting it back on and have range to go home.

>>17211008
I honestly like Teslas, but I 100% agree here. I do not want a giant fucking touchscreen in my dash board. I hate that all cars are starting to have them nowadays. Even cars that I love otherwise, if they have a touchscreen in them, I will always hold a little bit of hatred inside.

>>17211263
No, but you could theoretically build another mini pack and swap between them, if you were able to come up with a BMS that worked with the cars firmware. People have already built third party motor controllers, only a matter of time til people start making their own packs.

there's nothing in a modern ev that hasn't been in r/c.
its the exact same thing scaled up.

rc even did it all first.

>>17209973
Oh and you can pull apart a rear end, rebuild an engine or pretty much diagnose an odd noise?

>>17211263
the whole pack drops by removing 4 bolts. though you then have to drain the battery coolant.

you could make a light pack. then you have to worry about all the changes to handling and traction that would cause.

though I wouldn't try to pop out thousands of individual cells and put them back in constantly. I would have a normal pack and a track pack.

>>17209926

>>17211338

If you want to feel the power of an EV you can grab onto two hot leads from a 400v battery at 600amps, should give you a good idea how much power it takes to accelerate 5000lb cars 0-60 in 2 seconds

Electric cars are just as fun to work on as gasoline cars, different set of challenges, different set of problems, you just need a bit more brain power than the average cold air intake and bolt on exhaust installing mouth breather.

>>17211716
>Electrical systems are a shitload more expensive and dangerous to modify though.
Versus what? You can spend a little or a lot on either. As far as danger it's easy to implement redundancies in the system to prevent exposure to high voltage. When I hear people say this it's like when people say "guns are dangerous, you might shoot yourself." As long as you aim in a safe direction, keep your finger off the trigger, and treat it as if it is loaded there is a 0% chance.

Sort of, I'd say they are a bit different. If you are smart and learn quickly (which obviously everyone in this thread falls under, since they already know everything) learning electric will be fast and easy as long as you are using out of the box motor controllers and batteries, but people who can't understand the electrical concepts will never figure it out because you can't see a lot of what is going on. Gas engines you need to learn a lot through experience regardless of how smart you are, smarter people will learn faster but even slow learners will eventually figure them out as success/failure is much more clear.

>>17211730
>Fortunately electric cars are still cars

I hate people who believe that a battery and an electric motor attached to wheels is high technology and "the future". I don't actually hate them, I laugh at their stupidity.

Satan is my motor.

First they ignore you,
then they laugh at you,
then they fight you,
then you win.

I don't.... I hate lithium-ion batteries...

>>17210845
I'm working on my EE degree, and I dislike Teslas.

>>17214668
*dips*

>>17210950
>500 miles
Meanwhile in reality, the battery is near flat after 172 miles in a mild winter day.

They are profoundly un-interesting

>>17211181
Actually you can, if you're willing to deal with the several thousand cells a tesla has. You can even easily restore the life of some battery types, although Lithium Ion isn't one of them.
I've rebuilt several battery packs.

Batteries only need to double the capacity/weight ratio and combustion engine cars will look like horse carriages.

>the resulting battery has a fraction of the lifespan
please let this happen :^)

>>17214707
Uh ecksckuse me TESLA BRAND TESLA BATTERIES like what's used in the TESLA POWERWALL for your TESLA SOLAR ROOF have a super TESLA BATTERY CHEMISTRY that only ever dever loses 2% of capacity then never degrades at all you dumb ice cuck.

>>17214717
Also you're btfo 4evr now.

>>17209926
You can't drive it more than 200 miles without waiting hours for it to charge. A car symbolizes freedom and only being able to drive 200 miles is inhibiting on any medium length trip. Also Tesla is the front line of self driving cuckmobiles which requires its own shame just for that.

>>17211126
most people dont spend 100k on a car.

>>17210845
I'm afraid of the futuristic image of EVs being used to justify and normalize dystopian nonsense and understand it very well.

Tesla is working towards it as we speak.

Also fuck ipad dashboards

this is what pisses me off more than anything

>>17214668
So confirming his words?

>>17214927
>Electric cars
>Hard to understand
Also, I dislike them for reasons other than being electric.

$14 billion and you can't buy hair that works...

>>17209926
Didn't an electric car just hit a 6:45 on the burgerking?

Current battery tech is shit

Current range is shit

Eve is just not ready yet

>>17216335
It's possible. Imagine being able to use the entirety of your fuel in one lap. If you can properly cool an electric motor you can push them to more than 3 times the rated manufaturer output, and I've only experimented with shitty chinese batteries.

There isn't any mass moving to limit revs, theres no pressure to worry about, no air intake, fuel mixture, strokes.

Electric motors are extraordinarily simple, so once battery tech progresses far enough, EV will outpace ICE. It's a simpler system, and we've pretty much pushed ICE to its limits.

>>17211143
So?

>>17211158
Kinda like how they used to do it back when cars got 8-9 MPG and gas stations were not as widespread.

Tesla should be glad /o/ exists. A multibillion dollar manufacturer should look to a bunch of anonymous posts on the internet rather than trust their own analysts and engineers.

>>17210714
Sounds like you're just bitter. Only if you were there when they were handing out free money, huh? Still, it's amazing how he's a billionaire and you're not.

I'm seeing a whole lot of claiming but not a lot of proof.

>17216446
that's true with any board and x company/group.

>The US govt should use pol's advice on policy
>AMD should do what /g/ tells them to do
>game company x should cater to /v/'s requests
>x guns suck, according to /k/ and their users are gehy

the /o/ anti musk pro ICE brigade is one of the more extreme examples I think. Some people here are either super brainwashed or just plain misinformed.

I would 100% buy an electric low weight roaster/coupe. Take a miata, or elise with super basic functions and I will purchase it.

I love electric motors, I don't think I'll ever buy an ICE powered car again

Why can't I buy an electric Audi or BMW with 400km range?
Not that I'd ever wanted to be seen in a BMW.
They're just as embarrassing here in Germany as they are elsewhere.
