This probably doesnt mean anything to you, but your "tesla"

>just now realizes Elon uses Tesla's name in vain as a marketing stunt.

>>17249423
Whats the point? Why not call it an edison?

It's batteries are recharged with electricity from alternating current.

>>17249478
Because Tesla is the good guy. Edison is le evil corporate man.

>>17249693
Fast charger uses DC

>>17249478
Edison is probably already copyrighted.

>>17249698
And Musk is riding the coattails of that man, without giving him credit for shit. Kinda like Edison if you think about it.

The Model S and X use AC induction motors

>>17249701
Unless you have your own generator hooked to the fast charger the electricity is still coming over A/C from the local coal power plant.

>>17249368
Tesla uses an inverter to create AC power for their drive motors.

It lets them use higher voltage and lighter wiring.

>>17249368
Brushless motors are AC.

>>17250875
Not true, there are brushless PMDC motors, most hybrid cars use them. The computer you are posting on most likely contains one as well.

>>17249368

it's not powering my house so edison is still a fucking retard.

>>17249734
Supplied by DC current you twit.

>>17250896
PMDC motors aren't brushless faggot

Tesla cars use AC motors supplied by batteries charged with power from the AC distribution system.

You idiots don't know how electricity works, give it a rest.

>>17249478
Because then Musk wouldn't be able to get the Reddit audience, the only people who will actually care about his electric cars.

Ok so we can all agree that the new name of the company is "Edison-inverter-Tesla-rectifier-Edison"?

>>17251738
Nothing in this thread is about the physics of electricity.
And anyone who has been to highschool knows how electricity works.

>>17251765
What I meant to say is that you, personally, are brainless. Do you know the difference between power and controls? If not shut the fuck up.

>>17251800
Mad fanboy?

>>17249368
Because normies think it sounds cool

>>17251818
Fan of what? Also you are a confirmed idiot for pretending to know anything in the first place.

>>17251824
I haven't pretended to know anything. Your post is the first one I replied to in this thread. Fanboy.

>>17251827
I literally don't give a fuck about the name of this company. I'm just annoyed that everyone in this thread is acting like AC vs DC is still a thing. That shit ended in 1890.

>>17251847
No one in this thread is doing that.

>>17251856
It was the entire thread you idiot.

it does use a three phase induction motor
both things that nikola tesla pioneered

>>17249423
>uses Tesla's name in vain as a marketing stunt.
I don't like it either
normi will just think of some Steve jobs like shit
rather than bothering to consider what's behind the name

checkmate Luddite

>>17251957
what le fug

you guys are retards.
it's obviously rotating current. that's why the wheels spin.

>>17251965
mostly used in printers and scanners
some of the older ones have optical tracking of the rotor

>>17251957
But why?
High precision parking?
Extreme tailgating?

>thomas "lets just build a generator every other block" Edison
what an overrated hack

>>17249478
Probably because Edison was a turbo-Jew and his estate would need to be fed shekels to use the name.

Probably had little to do with discovering DC, anyway. Likely he took credit for an underling's work as usual.

>>17252578
>discovering DC
Edison did not discover Direct Current

The first DC was generated before he was even born.

The recognition of electromagnetism, the unity of electric and magnetic phenomena, is due to Hans Christian Orsted and André-Marie Ampère in 1819-1820; Michael Faraday invented the electric motor in 1821, and Georg Ohm mathematically analysed the electrical circuit in 1827.
