  @basadeskaiser @EdBoatConnoisseur @sickburnbro EVs main purpose basically seems to be
  - Flex on the poors who want a second hand car or don't have 24hr access to a charger
  - Flex on private tradesmen who can't just maintain a fleet of expensive electric trucks on charge all the time
  - Allow American car companies to basically shift to a service model since second hand EVs are basically non-existent compared to their ICE counterparts
  - Justify tracking of all cars as a method of collecting road taxes instead of simply taxing fuel itself to pay for it.

  @EdBoatConnoisseur @sickburnbro seriously even by carbon footprint fags' standards electric cars make no sense. They are just a way for managers and upper middle class faggots to flex on the middle and working class.

  @skylar @EdBoatConnoisseur @basadeskaiser @Mutsu_a125 @sickburnbro literally nobody has done the obvious thing yet that would actually save huge on emissions: Why are trucking companies not making big fuckoff tractor trailers with detachable battery trailers?
  >hook up your trailer and a battery
  >get all the obvious benefits to hauling of an electric drivetrain (instant torque means you can have a much smaller and lighter motor) since you don't need to oversize the engine to provide starting force)
  >drive a full day's worth of miles on big fuckoff trailer battery
  >park at company hotel and battery swap after your DOT limited 11 hours
  >swap batteries
  >company building charges the batteries while you drive on

  @sapphire @skylar @EdBoatConnoisseur @basadeskaiser @Mutsu_a125 @sickburnbro Battery weight eats up the payload too much. 10,000 lbs of battery, more? Doesn't make it as profitable when you have to pay the costs of a normal ride 3x over.
  That math may change if they go unmanned

  @Mutsu_a125 @EdBoatConnoisseur @basadeskaiser @sickburnbro @skylar if your route is known and predictable and you want an electrified vehicle to carry large amounts of cargo we already have an invention for that, its the diesel locomotive. In fact, I literally just stole this idea from trains except I added a battery

  @sapphire @EdBoatConnoisseur @basadeskaiser @sickburnbro @skylar there have been a few companies who do battery trucks, however they largely seem to do them as stunts only to then tell the poors or middle class to crush their ICE vehicles and buy a cybertruck.
  
  In theory though if your root is predictable enough there's an even better method that's been around for a century, the trolley bus one but the fact the US and much of the west is going the way of South Africa means overhead lines infrastructure will probably just be stolen

  So true king so true. Modern engineers should be made to work in the grimiest mechanics shop for a minimum of 5 years before ever stepping foot in an office. It will be their apprenticeship.
  >want to know if the car is in reverse
  Put the car in reverse, put your right hand behind the passenger seat and use it as a support to turn your head and look directly behind through your rear window.
  Use thine eyes ye lazy NIGGER!

  If you could buy an electric car that was just battery > motor > dimmer switch for your foot and nothing else, I'd probably buy one just for putzing around town but no, you have to get a smart tec self-driving retard mobile even at the absolute low end because its NEW TECH (older than gas cars lmao) and therefore it has to have 37 million things that can break

  @Paultron @EdBoatConnoisseur @basadeskaiser @Mutsu_a125 @sickburnbro @skylar I much prefer Honda's original take on hybrids, where you get a weedy, underpowered ICE and you stick an electric motor between the engine and transmission to dump more torque into the mix if necessary.

  @skylar @sapphire @EdBoatConnoisseur @basadeskaiser @Mutsu_a125 @sickburnbro i really liked GM's take on hybrids with the volt. charge the battery off the grid, then when it's low you have a small ICE functioning as a generator that just runs at a specific RPM where it's really efficient to recharge. There isn't even a transmission present to hook it to the wheels outside of the electric motors. Make that a little diesel and it'd be disgustingly cheap to run

  @skylar @EdBoatConnoisseur @kf01 @basadeskaiser @Mutsu_a125 @sickburnbro @sapphire @EllisDee I have an induction hotplate, it gets heat to the cookware much faster but for boiling a big lot of water it takes roughly as long as anything else with the same power rating

  @sapphire @EdBoatConnoisseur @kf01 @basadeskaiser @Mutsu_a125 @sickburnbro @EllisDee @skylar I mean, he can trot out the same defense they used at the time, but they were still convicted on price-fixing and specifically penalizing bulbs on lasting too long, not on producing insufficient light quality or efficiency. It's a weird attempt to reshape the narrative on planned obsolescence, manufacturers *always* have technical excuses prepared for why something should turn into a subscription.
