Need to figure out how to actually use remote start for the A/C. A lot of my complaints about the Bolt's handling turned out to be me fighting LKA, now that I have that figured it's awesome on the highway, very low effort to drive. E: it's silly, but the biggest reason I'm looking forward to switching to the Bolt is the dead pedal/foot rest, I have big feet and a lot of foot and ankle problems, and the Leaf's foot rest is too small and awkwardly angled, and my left foot cramps up on my long commute. Also looking forward to my work paying for 100% of the energy for my commute, that's going to be tight. bird with big dick posted:Just stick some shrimp ice up ur rear end Thread title please Elviscat fucked around with this message at 12:28 on Jun 5, 2023 |

It seems that the Tesla roadster preorder page is open for Europe locales, 4k€ of deposit and then 39k€ of prepayment (to be done shortly thereafter, up to ten days). It seems too low given the fantasy specs provided(like 1000km of range).

I must admit that the Tesla store page made it as muddy as hell since it's unclear if that's a prepayment, a full payment or a donation to the church of musk.

Just got back from Scottsdale. There was a family who drove from Santa Fe in a 60kWh LEAF. That's four (4) charging stops. The kid was all telling people "it took us forever because we're in an EV" and I had to follow her around saying "we also took an EV that isn't the absolute slowest charging and it was no big deal for us."

Getting together a list of dealerships I would like to swing by to check out EVs/PHEVs: - Volvo (V60, XC60, XC90 Recharge) - Audi (Q4/Q8 e-tron) - BMW (iX, i4) - Genesis (GV60 - I want to touch orb, GV70) - Chevy (Bolt EUV) (kind of not similar to the others but curious to see what it's like) Actually kind of leaning most towards the V60 T8, on paper so far. I need to see how it can fit stuff, and how it drives. Some are just too expensive like the Q8, XC90 and iX, would be too much for me to spend on a vehicle I think.

Review of the new Prius. Plug-in hybrid with ~44 miles of range. https://youtu.be/usqSJ7zbTLQ It looks like a good car but I lolled at the solar panel’s achievements. He left the car out for an entire weekend and it regained just 12% battery. That’s 5 miles of range. It might make a lot of sense for someone with outdoor parking and very short commutes. But it’s also no wonder we don’t see solar panels in pure EVs. With a larger battery the gain would be minuscule in percentage.

Solar panels on cars are usually good for just running a fan to keep the interior not too stifling in hot weather, Audi has been doing that for years iirc Anyone who would depend on it for battery charging is a goofball though

If you run stuff like battery thermal management while the car is off and parked outside, then solar panels could make sense to offset the constant draw from that if you're going to park outside for extended periods of time. I'd be surprised if ~2kWh over 3 days is enough to do that though.

Vegetable posted:Review of the new Prius. Plug-in hybrid with ~44 miles of range. Solar panels for EVs don't stand up to incredibly basic math. Solar irradiance at sea level, on a cloudless day at noon, at the equator: about 1000 W/m2 Modern high-performance polycrystalline photovoltaic cell efficiency: ~25% Projected overhead surface area of a Tesla Model 3: 8.7 square meters If the entire surface of the car, including the windshield, were covered in solar panels, and you parked it at the equator, you would charge at 2.2 kW at noon. As the sun went down you would lose performance, working out to around 30% of the maximum charge rate over the course of the time the sun is up. So an average of ~600 watts over the course of the day, call it 12 hours of charging, for 7.2 kWh total. At the equator, in summer, with your entire car covered in a blanket of solar cells. A panel the size of the car's roof parked at wealthy country latitudes will generate a practically useless (for motive power) amount of energy. IDK why people keep reintroducing the idea every few years like this is the time it'll work. Physics says no!

Imagine a world where your 12v battery never dies and bricks your car though! Kind of ideal for keeping that on trickle charge and to keep the electric vampire drains at bay.

Kind of ideal for keeping that on trickle charge and to keep the electric vampire drains at bay. this. Tesla cabin overheat protection with the compressor on anecdotally uses ~750W, and it only needs to run when the sun is shining. Getting some of that offset with solar isn't an awful idea.

Tom Guycot posted:Something like this? https://www.amazon.com/Salusy-Hyundai-Organizer-Compatible-Accessories/dp/B0BN5MXLX5 Yes, but that particular one is actually for an Ioniq 5, despite what the description says. Speaking of Ioniq 5's... The dealer loaned me a 5 RWD to drive this week while the Hyundai tech looks at my car. I've driven it for about an hour now and... it's fine. Feels like a bulkier Ioniq 6 with worse angles for the driver. The steering wheel never feels like it's quite in the right place, regardless of how I telescope/tilt it or adjust the driver's seat. It's very mildly tiring to my shoulders and arms in a way that the 6 never is. And for some boneheaded reason, the steering wheel buttons for infotainment and driver assists are reversed from the ones in the Ioniq 6. Same model year, too.

They made a Lexus version of the Toyota bZ4x (did I capitalize that right?). https://youtu.be/8OV_XXt75aI No word on whether it’ll similarly lose half its range and fail to charge in cold weather, as well as have wheels that fall right off.

  Just got it home and charging via crappy 110 until my wall charger rolls in tomorrow but it's an incredible car. Insane power with clever, thoughtful design everywhere. It really feels like Kia didn't cut any corners and manages to feel like a sports car cockpit instead of a sterile pod with tablets glued everywhere. I'll do a burnout by the weekend, I didn't buy a car with a drift mode to never use it.

Wayne Knight posted:That is wild. How is it not the same exact part? Dunno! They have essentially identical functionality -- all the same buttons are there, they're just moved around. The Ioniq 5 appears to use the same button layout as most other Hyundai cars -- it's the same layout as the Tuscon I drove last week. Personally I think the 6 layout is better because it puts the infotainment buttons near the infotainment console, and the driver assist stuff near the turn signal lever, where cruise control is on most of the cars I've driven in the past.

Congrats! It looks great. You ended up with the GT then?
