I don't understand why people are still buying Teslas when competent manufacturers are making EVs now. Like why the gently caress would someone buy a Model X over an Audi E Tron? There can't be that many Elon fanbois wtf is going on

Every single one has no window tinting in what I imagine is a way to be seen like 00s Sex-Spec. Add on the dumb 'LOLGAS' type number plates. Some try to bait me into races at lights. Bitch, this cars been revved to poo poo for 15 years and loses to some but will continue to run, make noise and be fun for another 20 years if I do basic maintenance.

For anyone not charging at home, it's a serious problem. Oh right I forgot about that. Well luckily we can charge at home so we don't have to buy that garbage, the wife is getting an E Tron.

It's very much leaning wayyyyyy in on the fact that cars are sold via lifestyles people wish they had but is ultimately saying "you will never be that so we didn't produce it to do any of those things well anyway, you're welcome" so in that respect I dig it.

What is even going on there?! Charging a battery off the truck? Why the jumper cables? Or did the 12v system die and the truck needs a jump? And how did Tezzla make the only electric pickup truck with no frunk?

casque posted:The terrible car poo poo here is bypassing emissions controls to pollute more. Not even remotely what is happening, but thanks for playing. Catalytic converter is still installed as well. Its because the DPF and DEF system is prone to frequent failures and once its out of warranty its expensive to maintain. I am particularly meticulous about ensuring the car burns as clean as possible and absolutely despite coal rollers. CommieGIR fucked around with this message at 17:05 on Sep 1, 2023 |

I don't understand how the car can be missing portions of the emissions equipment and also be running as clean as possible. And I don't think the expensive to maintain justifies that. If someone had an old luxury car they couldn't afford to maintain I'd be recommending they get rid of it for a car they could afford to maintain. With caveats of course, if this is a occasional use vehicle like racing or towing or something, sure. It's certainly not a classic. It may be fun for you and that can be something you can argue is worth it.

Given that US automotive manufacturers currently focused on ridiculous trucks and SUVs to skirt emissions requirements, I sincerely doubt my one car is somehow a make or break scenario because of poorly designed components for the emissions control system. And yes, its used for towing and a lot of utility work as well. And no I won't be getting rid of it since I'll be driving it into the ground, especially given how used car prices are right now and the fact that I am in no way going to even consider new car prices.

Honestly, I respect that more than saying it's as clean as possible. Personal responsibility is a sham. The first post you made really seemed like you didn't think it made a difference. This shows you know it does and don't care.

Oh no, I know it does (the soot is obvious on the exhaust pipe) but frankly the engine has been tuned to burn as clean as it reasonably can, with the added benefit of increasing the fuel milage a bit (originally 21 City/26 Highway, now 24 city/30 Highway)

CommieGIR posted:Not even remotely what is happening, but thanks for playing. Catalytic converter is still installed as well. Hey, thanks for responding. I was hoping you could elaborate a little on this. I was under the impression the DPF and DEF were both systems designed to reduse the pollution a car is generating. How are your emissions less without these systems than with them? Edit: sorry just read you subsequent responses. You're saying you've tuned your car so that without DPF and DEF you're cleaner than the stock tune with DPF and DEF? casque fucked around with this message at 18:22 on Sep 1, 2023 |

What did you mean exactly? Is your car without manufacturers emissions controls in working order? Is you car emitting less than it would be with those controls?

Plastic inner fenders, to which the massive wiper motor is bolted... I'm sure that won't be an issue. I'm honestly surprised that the frunk area is as coherently packed as it is, additional charger aside. Could be better, but actually appears to have stuff designed to be there? Exterior is still a laughable mess, of course, and the standard gripes about one giant tablet, and the loving massive shelf under the windshield.

Jesus gently caress y'all be mad at container ships registered in Panama burning bunker oil, and Elon making the boring company to murder high speed rail, and the Koch's etc. I made my truck reliable by deleting some emissions isn't the same as rolling coal because gently caress you don't care.
