Not really political.

They are fine. Don't think they help the environment because they dont.

The future of automobiles, the problem currently is electricity storage.

Most likely future vehicles will be equipped with a hydrogen fuel cell and perform exactly like modern vehicles in every practical respect.

Ever see what happens when a charged Lithium battery is ruptured?

>not supporting a transportation that cuts into the funding of Wahhabism mosques worldwide

Don't be a cuck

You do realise it takes way more energy to turn hydrogen to fuel than its economical to use it as a fuel in the first place

>a tank full of gasoline isn't dangerous

They are a sham. Creating them (and the electricity they use) causes just as much pollution as gasoline vehicles, if not more. They are pretty much sold as virtue signalling vehicles.

If a piece of shrapnel pierces your gas tank chances are very high that it's not going to cause an explosion. However if the same happens to a lithium battery, it's pretty much guaranteed to cause a fuckstorm of superhot death fire.

>trusting the wheeled jew
A true white man uses a pogo stick to travel.

Don't Quebec and Labrador have electricity to burn?
Though that won't stop HyrdoQuebec from screwing Quebecers of course

I don't know about honkeys, but I would drive it to help the environment and feel superior

Stupid virtue signaling for the upper-middle class

If they were actually concerned about the environment they'd buy a used car with decent mileage whose embodied energy was already somewhat offset.

That's the main issue with hydrogen currently, yes - finding a way to collect it economically and store it safely.

If these problems were not currently problems, we wouldn't be having this discussion at all.

Until the electricity they use to charge comes from clean energy and better cathode materials are developed to allow for more rapid charging, they are nothing but a toy for the rich to play and mercy signal with.

Electric cars are a meme. Back in my late teen/early 20's Honda made a car called the CRX HF that got 50 mpg.
Late 80's, look it up.

I hate arguments like these

>argh using conventional power sources to charge electric cars are sooooooo polluting
>but not when I use the same grid to power up my house

I can see the petrol fumes have damaged your brain

>>but not when I use the same grid to power up my house

Where did I ever say or even imply that?

You're one of the smarter kinds of stupid, but are still very very dumb. Do some research before you mindlessly spout off kid.

what you wrote:
>Creating them (and the electricity they use) causes just as much pollution as gasoline vehicles

Discounting the pollution during the production process for any vehicle, how does EVs create more pollution than petrol vehicles when they have zero emissions?

Guess they're good for using in places you don't want to pollute with fumes or noise.
Otherwise you waste more energy than with normal gas engines.

there's something much cooler about a car with an engine.

on one hand, i can appreciate them as superior technology (battery issues notwithstanding), but they are lacking in spirit

This. Electric cars are coal powered cars. Huge step backwards imo.

PRODUCING THE ELECTRICITY THAT THEY RUN ON REQUIRES BURNING FOSSIL FUELS

This isn't multi-variable calculus, dude. It's common sense.

They're obviously the future. Hopefully Sup Forums will rage against them for not being like in the good old days, which will result in Sup Forums leaving basements less frequently.

Elon Musk is based and also redpilled. I'd buy a Tesla if I was rich enough.

Electric engines can generate wayyyyyy more torque than gasoline ones.

I think the moded tesla is already faster 0-60 than pretty much any car on the road save for maybe lamborghinis.

>Solar panels aren't a thing

I think the electric future of cars takes us some kind of emotion and popculture around cars. (for the car lovers ) Every motor has its own character . With electric cars its just about looks and software, im still searchin for alliteration for this, but i think you know what i mean if you think similar

>how does EVs create more pollution than petrol vehicles when they have zero emissions?

I think that user is referencing the process of refining the lithium needed to create the batteries, also Lithium is fairly corrosive once spent, hence why you need to recycle it in special containers.But I don't think its enough to generate as much pollution as a normal gasoline powered car.

I hope petrol cars will live forever

Really depends where you live.

In BC here we have 100% hyroelectric power so our electricity is totally emission free.

fuckload of tax credits and the ability to use the HOV lanes are pretty solid benefits m8

In the area my parents live, lots of people buy new Teslas.
The electricity in the area is also primarily coal powered.
Although I'm aware that Tesla is taking strides to reduce the embodied costs of a Tesla.
Between continued reliance on Coal for electricity, impact of lithium mining for batteries, and the embodied costs it simply doesn't make sense to buy a new electric car.

A used car with decent mileage is not only cheaper but will have an overall smaller environmental impact at this point in time.

Will be great after Trump releases free energy. Now, not affordable or practical at present.

he's just a stupid burger he doesn't know any better

Decent bit of shitposting, leaf.

Good luck charging your car on a cloudy day.

that's not the point. and not really true either, unless you buy the top end models.

>2017 Tesla Model S 60 Compare Car 0-60 mph 5.0 | Quarter mile 13.6

even a relatively cheap wrx will be about even at 60 and 1/4 mile

>but they are lacking in spirit

what does that fucking mean? honestly i want you to explain what you just said.

Feasible but not practical. The energy density of gasoline still surpasses any battery in output and cost. If batteries ever pass that threshold then the inefficiency of an ICE will just be shifted to gas or oil power plants rather than renewables.

MEMES

Damn 7-8 second post time

A Truck you limp dicked fag

The batteries can be remotely activated to explode by the CIA.

noice

Solar panels are made using petroleum and they still rely on battery storage of energy which is harmful to the environment.
Until all electricity is generated by nuclear, these cars will be a meme as far as environmentally.

you can tinker with a normal car, they make fun noises, they're "cool". who wants another electric appliance?

Only legitimate use is going solo in the HOV lane

I drive a volt. Bought it used for a reasonable price. Now I spend way less on gas.

It's a transitional phase. If we don't encourage the financial capable to buy more EVs, there won't be incentives to develop better tech, and invest more infrastructure

It's imperative we bankrupt the oil sheiks and reduce air pollution in our cities

it's the same reason people still buy mechanical watches. they're not superior in any measurable way, but they are cooler.

How are cars political?

>I've never heard of solar, wind or hydro power

He's saying that there is no net gain and that it might actually be worse to use electric cars. Especially if your electric source is coal, which it likely is.
Something like half of the emissions of a car for its lifetime come from the creation of a car. If you care about the planet so much, buy an older car.

>electric cars

are really

>coal powered cars.

They just suck right now. The only good solar energy isn't photovoltaic cells its the plant in California that uses salt flow to turn a magent.

The crap you buy for your roof breaks easily and makes little energy.

I own the base model tesla, comparing the prices of electricty to gas, I used up around 350$ of electricity which when i did the math comes out to be around 2100$ in gas, this is for a whole year.
I saved roughly 1750$ this year

For a 70K car, i think this is good, I still have my honda though just incase something happens though.

Unless you just drive around your city it has your needs

Can't do long distance trips.

If you forget to recharge your car at night you could be in a bad spot.

> Gasoline cars is still the only valuable thing on the road

I feel like i bought an electric meme car when I bought my PSVR.

Sure its fun and it has huge potential in the future but right now its just a gimmick

But then again these things only improve with first buyers, beta testers and rich fags with disposable meme cash

in short
Its a gimmick meme now
The memesters right now pave the way for normies.
Thank the stuck up faggots who buy these memes because we need these retards

its not just this, its because every engine is different, you can feel and hear the difference. The car has some kind of heart. With electric cars it will be the same overall just with different software and battery pack size for more or less power. The love and detail goes away . Its like it goes into a superficial way. But i think you all cant understand if you are not a real car lover.

regularcarreviews go away

i don't know where you're getting your information from but you're full of shit

Cuckmobile. I only see nu-males driving those.

>0.08% of total US electricity

Yeah but you bought what is essentially a toyata camry in performance when you could have bought a camry and driven it for 20 years before spent the other $40k you 'saved' with the Tesla.

Or you could have bought a Porsche Caymen and driven a true mid engine sports and driven it for 10 years before you spent a total of 70k on the fuel and car together.

OR you could have bought a Dodge Viper and spent more on gas and totally murdered the Tesla on the track.

I just don't get the Tesla meme, its too reddit. The apple of car companies.

the model3 is going to be the car that brings electric vehicles to the normies

tesla.com/en_CA/model3

This senpai

kind of this

I wasn't referring to trauma i was referring to they wear out and break down easy. They don't last 10 years.

Hey give them credit, they're up to like .6%.
That will surely be enough to power the 250 million cars in the US.

100% American Masterrace

>How can GovernmentMotors evem compete?

you are either a troll or just stupid.

tesla's are one of the most efficient vehicles on the road and also go 0-60 in 2.3 seconds. Show me the conventional car with that performance and post its gas mileage and try to tell me it would be an everyday driver.

>fuel cells
i can only hope. otherwise we'll get fucked by power companies.

yeah. electric cars are also brutally heavy. probably not so good skidpad numbers.

Don't feed the trolls dude.

Cuckmobiles only because I'm sure it's gonna cost more overall than petrol car.
any change manufactures doing these days cost us more than before.

Nice range/charge (honestly)
But I'm wondering if that's like a laptop's 4 hour battery life (unless you use it as anything other than a clock)
Also wondering about winter performance

The coal industry should be all for electric cars, as well as nuclear, natural gas, and solar.

Only the oil industry suffers from electric cars.

>Safety Squads
youtube.com/watch?v=RjQEvaTqRBw

It's never going to be afordable or practical. It will never have to range, the easy of refuelling as petroleum based cars. It will never be as cheap or dependable as gasloine cars in every kind of environment.

Plus the electric car battery needs petroleum to power it (as either natural gas or coal as nuclear is about 20% of the grid).

Unless you are able to charge it as you drive like an old time electric trolly it's just dumb. Such a system would only be practical in urban areas.

I don't think they would. Oil is the most dense hydrocarbon, it would be used as an electrical source once more. Also most oil companies burn off their gas anyway so they probably would adapt relatively quickly.

literally the first hit from google
looks like the lifespan of a typical solar panel is quite a bit longer than you seem to imply
unless this warranty is constantly giving away free solar panels (unlikely)

If you are buying anything that isn't a fully mechanical vehicle without any advanced electronics, you are basically inviting the CIA and NSA to hack your car and suicide you, as soon as your political opinions will become problematic.

kek

Did you just wake up from a coma that began in the 80s? Nigger the range specs on the Model 3 are around the same as the Model S, which is well over 200 miles. If you live near a supercharging station charging only takes 30 minutes.

...

Electric cars arent really good unless what you're charging them with isnt powered by fossil fuels.

Cucks are too afriad to build more nuclear power facilities even though they are ridiculously more efficient

>100% American Masterrace
i feel there's a very good reason that Husk is on Trump's Economic Board.

Before the Model-T came out in 1908, cars were just fancy novelties for the rich.
Today, cars like the Tesla Model-S are novelties for the rich. Perhaps when they become more affordable and practical for the masses, we will have another Model T .

K first off only the super upgraded ones do this. So you're talking about $125k.

The 0-60k is a meme in and of itself. The Tesla gets to 60 fast but only has the one gear and because its electric has access to the torque right form the get go. From 60-100 mph it goes much much slower.

Which means as a sports car it really fails. They only show the one metric 0-60, because thats the only good one it has. It gets murdered by other cars in its price bracket.

youtube.com/watch?v=EmVrplC4Ga8

Model S can't do Nordschleife in under 10 minutes while the Porsche 911 Turbo does it in 7:00.

Tesla is a meme car and over priced trash. If it cost $30,000 i'd be impressed becasue it performs like a $30,000 dollar car not a $100,000 car.

>If you live near a supercharger station
>Only 30 minutes
What, am I going to be watching a TV episode in my car while I wait? Gas takes like 3-4 minutes tops

honesty they're tip top vehicles m8
read up on people's experiences - especially in places like Canada where it the temperature extremes really test the batteries.
there's a lot of actual data out there on the batteries' performance as well

Checkmate Finland

Cuckmobiles. Enjoy it when the CIA drives you off a fucking cliff you smug assholes
