alnilam posted:tesla on the other hand had an admittedly clever strategy of making theirs a fancy electric sports car so that really rich ppl would buy it despite the excessive price, but do not let that make you think that they have succeeded where the big car companies have failed - all BEVs still have the same basic problems of being really expensive, short in range (or even more expensive, as in the cas eof the tesla), and slow to charge yeah its a marketing thing, but marketing is important when in a new market every shithead who knows what a tesla is but couldn't name you any other electric cars wouldn't be full spectrum aware on electric cars sans tesla, they'd just not know any and knowing is half the battle

Relevant Tangent posted:cities aren't going to ban internal combustion engines. that's madness, there are poor people who drive in cities too and we've all got non-electric vehicles or just vehicles for short, as the vast majority of people who own a vehicle own one that uses combustion. and that's why r&d is critical, you want people to buy your electric $6000 shitbox, so they sell it to poor people for $200 3 years down the line you can't do that if batteries cost you $15k, obviously. it's not going to happen overnight, obviously, but it is going to happen.

A Tesla looks like a normal car also until you get up close and see all the badging. I guess the branding plays a big deal because when you think of a Honda hybrid you think of a aging hippie. When you think of a Tesla you think of a cool dude.

So whatever they passed had to be somewhat moderate to take advantage of the super majority. 1. remove filibuster 2. add line to bill that strips joe libermans of us citizenship 3. pass bill with 51 votes

Jose posted:aren't toyota like way ahead of everyone when it comes to electric car technology? they're up there, all the big japanese car makers are klling it on all kinds of EV tech actually and their government is pushing real hard for it too GM has a way better FCEV program than people realize but afaik are lagging a bit on BEV basically american automakers are going to be majorly left behind if the US government pulls back its support for EV research, which despite what musk fanboys say, is still alive and well in universities, national labs, and big automakers Vladimir Putin posted:Marketing does count though because a car is an expensive consumer product. Nobody wants to spend a lot of money on a product that they don't like or think makes them look stupid. yeah but distinguishing marketing from actual technological progress is important and is exactly what people are failing to do with tesla (though again, they have made some good progress, just not as ~~transformative~~ as ppl say) Citizen Tayne posted:The Prius was way beaten to market by the Honda Insight. right, but who remembers the honda insight? the funny-looking design of the prius was deliberate and a smart move by toyota, they realized that people who will pay extra for a hybrid want to show off their green-ness in a way tho it backfired, you wouldn't believe how often i hear people ask "why won't they just make a normal-looking hybrid car, the prius looks dumb!!" and are surprised when i tell them that there have been "normal-looking" hybrids since before the prius even came out you just never noticed them because they didn't look weird

He also said "it warns you if you stray out of the lane, but I disabled that because it was annoying". Also we had to recharge in Bloomington for 45 minutes and we went to some cute knickknack shop.

When you're in three, bring a lot of shovels." ~ House Republicans Trying to decide whether this is house republicans trying to rebuild their (lol) good name and repair the relationship with Trump, or whether they're just spooked by the idea that their time's running out and may be really running out depending on the current smoke:fire ratio, and so they're rushing to ram something through. Can't see them producing anything but a square peg anyway, which would then have to somehow pass through Mitch McConnell's round hole.
