Electric Cars Great....Indoors

[elektra]

This is another great one, I bought 4, I have two still in the case, the boys play with the other two.View attachment 108559

Pretty cool! This is the one the wife drives. It doesn't run around inside at all, instead commuting her to work every day. Damn thing, won't break, costs pennies to fill up for a days commute when I pay for it, she fills it for free at work, who ever would have thought that you could run a mid sized family sedan all over town just on electric motors!

Electric motor are fine, the elements for batteries are finite. Depleting all the worlds natural resources while dumping toxic waste in the third world. Bravo.

Tesla today introduced a new version of its Model S sedan. It’s called the P100D, and it can go from 0-60 MPH in 2.5 seconds. Tesla says that makes this the third-fastest production car ever, behind the Ferrari LaFerrari ($1.4 million) and the Porsche 918 Spyder ($845,000).

Both those cars are way more expensive than the Tesla Model S P100D, which starts around $135,000. But while the list of cars that are faster than the P100D is quite short, the list of cars that the Tesla is quicker than is quite long.

So, here’s a comprehensive (but not necessarily complete) list of cars you can buy in the United States today that are slower from 0-60 than the new Tesla:

The new Tesla Model S P100D is faster than all these cars

LOL, Ms. Elektra, you are so fucking stupid.

Nice jab, PUSSY! The Tesla can maybe beat 3-4 of those cars. After that the battery is exhausted and overheating. Any one of those cars would smoke the Tesla on a very tight, short, road course. Thriw in a couple hills and the Tesla batteries will explode. Go back to google and find another copy/paste you idiot.

 

[RGR]

Electric motor are fine, the elements for batteries are finite. Depleting all the worlds natural resources while dumping toxic waste in the third world. Bravo.

The hydrogen supply on the Sun is finite as well. People have been complaining about resource scarcity since Malthus, only proving along the way that they don't know diddly about resource economics. So feel free to live in fear of it, but I gotta tell you, running out of some battery component isn't near as resource scary as what happens when the Sun runs low on hydrogen! I think you need to get your panties in a wad over that one!

I don't wear panties? You see, elektra is nothing more than a record label. With you lack of intelligence and education you do not realize that. I got balls, idiot! What else do you assume and foolishly comment on? Considering you are dumb enough to confuse a record label with Greek God!

Running out of a battery component? You mean running out of a finite element used to make batteries for electric cars that are a luxury, something that is frivolous.

We could also talk about Magnets that are used in Electric Cars and the limited supply of this rare Earth element.

Liberals talk about being worried that we will use all the Oil, but they have no problem using more oil to produce luxury automobiles while depleting the World's reserves of finite rare earth metals and elements.

At least we can argue Oil is organic, hence replaceable. You can't say the same about rare earth metals.

And you analogy about the sun which will burn billions of years, is about as stupid an analogy made.

But hey, enjoy your Socialist Obama Car, that everyone pays for but you. We will be paying the National Debt off forever to pay for your luxury electric car.

Luxury Electric Cars, they add CO2 to the atmosphere as well, in the construction, the constant manufacturing of all things "green". The biggest scam in history.

You are a fool.

The new Tesla Model S P100D is faster than all these cars

LOL, Ms. Elektra, you are so fucking stupid.

UMmmmm, that's because of the gearing sweetheart. If you change the gearing the majority of those would smoke your Tesla. For the record I like the Tesla. It's a good car for what it is. What it is not is a car for the middle class, or for someone who has to commute to work. It's a great sedan for taking the wife to the show.

 

[elektra]

All the cars smoke the Tesla, the Tesla only wins a very narrowly defined race. My Toyota Tundra will smoke the Tesla. Lets race 10 times, 1/4 mile drags. I guarantee I win more than half.

Actually, I think the Tesla will take your Tundra. Especially over such a short distance. Now, do five races over a 25 mile circuit and you'll finish the race while the Tesla won't! In fact, driven hard, I doubt the Tesla would make it to the 100 mile mark.

That is the one your wife drives? you are a liar, that is a picture you downloaded off the internet. I doubt you own one at all, you or your wife, why else would post a picture of anything but your own car? Yea, take some pics of the warning labels on the battery so we can see what they say. That way we can see if you are a liar.

one race yes, two races yes, three races maybe, four, and five? Right in a row, a quarter mile flat out each time. Up to ten races? That battery will be overheated, smoked. The Tesla is not designed to run 1/4 mile drags, over and over and over. Hell, lets fill the Tesla with adults that weigh 220 lbs each, is the 2 seater or the four seater? Try 4-220 lb men in the Tesla, the 1/4 mile ten times, back to back, against my Tundra with the same amount of people?

Nope, the Tesla can do the 1/4 once, twice, maybe three times, but after that you are taking a huge risk and it is not advised or condoned.

No, quarter mile races are too short. The battery is good for at least 40 miles of hard driving (I tested one so have first hand knowledge). After that though, and it begins to suffer.

The battery may be good for 40 miles of hard driving. But that is still, different than having to race repeated 1/4 mile runs, with no time to cool. It would be nice to see the Tesla put to the test. I Ferrari could do this all day long, a Tesla, no way.

Likewise, put a Ferrari on a race track against a Tesla, and the Tesla loses all day long.

Dumb ass, put another Tundra on a trailer, and the Tesla would beat you in the 1/4 mile towing that trailer.

And you are so full of shit. The Ferrari loses to the slower Tesla X P90D, a P100D model S would have severely embarrassed the Ferrari.

Looks like no problem on repeated runs.

 

[elektra]

The Tesla sucks, one 1/4 mile race and the idiots claim victory? Against cars built for road racing? How quick is the Tesla from 85 mph to 185 mph? How about Nuremburg? Can the Tesla hold its own under real racing conditions or is it a one shot wonder?
As Expected, Tesla Model S Fails To Lap Nurburgring Under Full Power


Nurburgring
When pushed to the limits, the Tesla Model S often ratchets down its power output in an effort to keep components from reaching critical temperatures.

Therefore, it’s no surprise that the Model S couldn’t complete a full lap of the 14-mile Nurburgring under full power when driven at the limit by Robb Holland.

As Holland explains in a post he authored on Jalopnik:

 

[skookerasbil]

Nobody cares about electric cars. They will sell about 125,000 of them this year. Ford alone will sell close to a million F150/250/350 pick-up trucks.

Hey.....Id love a Tesla S. But not for $125K For the same $$ I can buy a Dodge Hellcat AND a Ford Raptor.

But hey, enjoy your Socialist Obama Car, that everyone pays for but you. We will be paying the National Debt off forever to pay for your luxury electric car.

Her car is a Ford. An individual economic decision involving her money doesn't have anything to do with Socialism. But free fuel provided at work sure mattered! Capitalism at its best to attract employees!

Luxury Electric Cars, they add CO2 to the atmosphere as well, in the construction, the constant manufacturing of all things "green". The biggest scam in history.

You are a fool.

Well of course manufacturing involves CO2 emissions...the difference being when you sell someone an ICE car, they keep right on doing it!! Of course, so do people breathing, so it isn't as though we can really solve the CO2 emissions problem without self-exterminating..but that becomes an issue of seeing who will recognize it, and do it, their dedication to the cause being absolute. The rest of us will wait to see who is so brave, while we keep on doing what we have been I suppose.

All the cars smoke the Tesla, the Tesla only wins a very narrowly defined race. My Toyota Tundra will smoke the Tesla. Lets race 10 times, 1/4 mile drags. I guarantee I win more than half.

What a wanker!! How about 10 races, 1/4 mile, without emitting CO2? How about a 100 mile road course race, without emitting CO2? Your truck only competes in the "big ugly dirty CO2 emissions" class, it is like winning the "most retarded person in the class" award...no one wants to win the race you are talking about.
