Play posted:People need to make money. Most likely it's that simple And yet all the mainstream "luxury" car brands seem do be doing extremely well selling high deprecation new cars and certified pre-owner cars that are loving everywhere and have all invested heavily into EVs. Apple wouldn't exist if this was a major market problem. edit: I am imagining you existing in a world screaming at someone with a brand new Lexus "Don't you know that that is just a overpriced Toyota, you stupid loving moron!"

Price difference aside, I can't help but think ICE vehicles seem very primitive now that I've seen what a high end EV can do. In 100 years, the kids will look back in disbelief that our primary mode of transport was powered by tiny, well-timed explosions driven by refined fossil fuels that put out little puffs of toxic smoke as we puttered around the city. It's just such a brute force way to get from A to B in my head, and I own two ICE vehicles. Meanwhile we have EVs coming in the scene that required substantially less upkeep, they're smoother, better torque, quieter and clean. They're demonstrably better in every way except the battery tech, and our infrastructure is build for ICE, rather than EV.

Krispy Wafer posted:And if Tesla was priced like Toyota, Musk's $240b fortune would become a $24b fortune. That's a worst case scenario, because if it happens he's actually got a $0 fortune because of Twitter. The smartest possible thing he could do would be to immediately, as in fist available time slot publicly announce something along the lines of "I am selling my entire personal stake in Tesla because I have big, secret plans for the next stage of humanity, but I need to completely privately and personally fund it because it is top secret" then take the whatever money he can get during the crash and run, which means it will never happen

Vampire Panties posted:gasoline-burning ICE won't be meaningfully banned in North America in our lifetimes, if ever. They'll build fusion reactors to distill gas from sea water. They might not be banned outright but enough jurisdictions are phasing them out that the car makers will switch most, if not all of their assembly lines over to making EVs because it won't be cost effective to run EV and ICE assembly lines simultaneously.

In Need for Speed poo poo if you bought a supercar with a wedge-shaped hood (like a Lamborghini or whatever, it's been like a decade so I don't remember exactly), you could win every race because you could drive under the other cars. PHYSICS!

Welp, according to the TÜV, Teslas aren't only worse than Fiats, they're the worst automobiles. Ranking at 111 out of 111. e: The Model 3, specifically.

This got lost in the shuffle yesterday. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1725232118412808663?t=bAifvgLAqG81UMX1DL1ksg&s=19 Sure, X didn't come to the aid of people like that guy who was arrested and sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia not too long ago for his Tweets, but this is different. According to the Financial Times.... quote:According to the letter, Campolargo ran an account on X sharing information about where open events were taking place on the university campus that had free food. However, following a complaint, the university charged him with violations of the university’s code of conduct for “inciting, aiding, or encouraging others to engage in a behavior which violates the Student Code”, and for theft, alleging that an event he had promoted, and later taken food from, was a private conference. Genuinely surprised that there is actual follow through on this promise, and also genuinely annoyed because this is definitely going to be a thing, as it's going to be arbitrarily as all hell and based primarily who's appealing more to Musk's personal sense of humor.

Looking at a friend’s Rivian, I made a joke about the windshield washer fluid cap (the only thing in the frunk that looked like an ICE vehicle) and he said that’s the only liquid in the truck. It probably still has brake fluid and freon though.

For braking? Evs have coolant too, though it might be sealed. Oil in the transmission/diffs as well.

Pallet jacks I'm pretty sure don't. At least, there's no way to engage them manually.

EVs have coolant reservoirs for the batteries as well as oil for the motors. They're just not user-serviceable.
