I now live in one of the hottest (dry heat) places in the country and we never have our house under 78. Maybe i'm broken now from living in southern Arizona, but anything under 78 and I get chilly.

Sonic Dude posted:Everyone who is saying that acceleration is just for fun should go take a motorcycle safety course. There are 4 directions out of any hazardous situation, and brakes only enable one of those. Especially when you’re already moving at relatively high speed, stopping to avoid a hazard may not be an option, and around/past is your best choice. This is as dumb in this discussion as it is in a motorcycle discussion. Everyone who says "oh man my motorcycle is too slow for the highway" are just poo poo riders. If you've put yourself in a situation where the ONLY way out is quickly accelerating, you've failed already and need to figure out why you ended up there so it doesn't happen again. Generally you shouldn't be adding speed to any hazardous situation. wolrah posted:Exactly. There are a few clips out there of people avoiding getting rear ended while stopped due to traffic by using EV acceleration to get on the shoulder or otherwise get out of the way. I'm sure that ability is even more important to two-wheelers when some dipshit doesn't see them. Most drivers aren't even aware of being in traffic much less checking their mirrors for getting rear ended. This is an extremely out there example. You could perform it in a regular car as well if that's something you're used to checking for (ie you're probably a motorcycle rider).

So my mom has a model 3 on order (standard range model). Initially they were saying November but now it's pushed back to January. Then the sales guy at the pick up center (same one who helped her with test drive) said that there might be some new battery chemistry model 3s available sooner, but only have 250mi of range. Is this just sales bullshit? New chemistry having lower range? Seems funky.

Sonic Dude posted:For the Model 3, Car & Driver (in between their love letters to the Mach-E) measured 30-50 in 1.4s and 50-70 in 2.0s. I suspect not needing to downshift has a lot to do with that. That’s on a car with a 3.5s 0-60 time, so adjust accordingly for the Plaid’s sub-2s launch. In those two ways an ev is quite a bit like a motorcycle.

cruft posted:Both of our cars were gone when I got a data center alert, so I rode my bike into work, road construction made me the bottleneck on a 2-lane road. Twice. Now I'm recovering from an asthma attack from trying to bust rear end uphill. I doubt the drivers noticed the difference between my top speed of 11mph and my still-able-to-breathe speed of 8mph. You were not the bottleneck. You were using the road on a legal vehicle (a bicycle). Go at a speed you're comfortable. If cars had to wait an extra 30 seconds, gently caress em.

dk2m posted:I moved to the Bay Area during the summer this year and gas prices are some real poo poo out here. I’m getting some really good offers on my RS3 and I’m supposed to be commuting back to the office in January, which will be a 30-40 mile round trip. I really don’t feel like a) putting a ton of miles on this b) spending absurd money on fillups if I can avoid it. I’ve pretty much decided to trade this in for a sensible daily and get a second dedicated fun car somewhere down the line RAV4 Prime would cover your commute and give you weekend trip ability if you wanted one car. But literally any EV will work for you, even if you wanted to get something older and used if you're going to be able to charge at home and have a second ice fun car.

Jimong5 posted:speaking of ID 4 I test drove one of those today, I liked the driving dynamics more than the Y, (I cannot stress how awful that turn stalk is, it's like almost disqualifying for me) and that turning radius on the ID is insane. The acceleration was pretty disappointing, the Volt/Bolt has more oomph. Maybe the AWD version is better. Not a huge fan of the touch controls but they are way less awful than I thought they would be. Would probably pay for the Audi to get away from them. The thing about the Y is the amount of storage they pack into that thing is absurd, the ID was pretty disappointing after seeing the Tesla. As someone over 6 ft I can confirm that the rear headroom in the ID is not enough. What's so bad about the turn stalk? I don't have experience with any new teslas but I don't remember anything too weird in the model s I drove.

Not strictly an EV, but thought i'd post this because in our situation 1 car and 1 e assist bicycle is pretty ideal as far as household vehicles go. When it comes time to replace the honda fit, it'll be with an electric car of some sort. If you live in a place with ok bicycle infrastructure, give an e bicycle a try, they're a ton of fun even for experienced, able bodied "cyclists" and can be a great car replacement. We just added a Specialized Como to the vehicle family:

cruft posted:When we got our electric car, we immediately stopped using the bicycles. At all. So this is a Specialized Turbo Como 4.0. It has a 500wh battery (and the 2022 version now has an even bigger battery, but it costs a little more) and as far as range goes, specialized has a little calculator app. If I put my height and weight (6'4, 205lb) and keep it on the flats in eco mode (best scenario), the range is 65 miles. The 2022 versions of these bikes will have even more range. Basically it's more than your average person would use in one ride. Make sure you use a reasonable estimate for average speed for your ride... you're probably not average more than 12 miles an hour with stops etc. But best of all? It doesn't matter! Specialized has an app where you can even set it to give you the maximum assist for let's say the 2 hour ride you're going to do. Or like most people, just modulate the level of assist yourself. It's an electronic assist bicycle.. meaning that you have to pedal to get help from the motor. This is an important distinction because many people thing there's a throttle on all ebikes, but that would put it into being a different class of bike that's usually not allowed on bike paths etc, although if you're being reasonable no one will care. So typically ebikes from bicycle manufacturers like trek, spec, cannondale etc. will never have a throttle. https://www.specialized.com/us/en/turbo-calculator/app This 2021 retails for $3750 if you can find one in stock, the 2022 versions are being bumped up to 4k. Yes i see you recoiling in horror, that's so much money! It is, but these are some of the best ebikes around (best as far as smoothness and integration), so that's expected. There are less expensive options from this brand and Trek etc; these start at 3250 for the 2022 base version with a 530wh battery - so even better than the one we have for less money. The top speed on this bike is 28 mph, but you do have to put some effort to actually get up to that speed with full assist on since it multiplies your effort x4 and I don't expect that people are going to be going more than 20 mph in this nice upright pedaling position in general. The handling is very solid since the bike weights 45lb. Obviously since you're sitting fairly upright you're not putting a ton of your own weight over the front wheel so maybe slow down for those corners. The nice thing with the heft, is that if you put some panniers on it (like we have) it doesn't upset the balance of the bike too much once they are loaded. I have friends with the same bike who regularly do grocery store runs on theirs, it won't do a costco trip obviously. It will charge from totally dead in like 6 hours i think from a normal outlet, but I just plug ours in every few days since my partner uses it every day for commuting, going to the gym, cafe etc. Call around your local bike shops (whatever brand they carry) and ask what ebikes they have in stock and just go ride some and see how they feel. Every brand has ebikes of every kind nowadays. Russian Bear fucked around with this message at 22:51 on Oct 20, 2021 |

marshmonkey posted:I love and fully support ebikes but this reads like the script the salesperson reads, lol. I used to work in a bike shop and sell these when they first came out. I'm just super pumped on ebikes, because it might mean one less car on the road. Which is always better. Like I said at the end, I don't care what brand you pick to try out, I'm just most familiar with this one.

kitten emergency posted:speaking of defensive driving I don’t know if I got bailed out by the mustang emergency stop assistance or not but I nearly rear ended someone the other night because they unexpectedly braked, and I think it might have been the first time I’ve ever felt the friction breaks engage on that car. it was extremely sudden though, and I did slam the pedal down. either way, thanks technology! So you were following too closely is what you're saying. Hopefully the takeaway is you need more space at whatever speed you were going. Defensive drivers avoid the emergency situation in the first place.
