Electric Vehicle sales are sucking!!!

[jon_berzerk]

and still sucking...............

And evidently, NOW is the golden age of "Muscle Cars""!!!!


Golden age of muscle cars is now

So much winning................

cars that you can actually watch the gas gauge go down on

--LOL

Sure, and try to drive that through your local Safeway's parking lot.

You were comparing racecars. Try taking your racecar on the same course that this vehicle just did on a single charge. Hell, try to take it, at these speeds, on FIVE charges.

Lightning's Electric Superbike takes 2013 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb

Innovation through competition. That is the corporate motto of Lightning Motorcycle Corp., the designers and manufacturers of the Electric Superbike. A production version of the Electric Superbike has won this year's Pikes Peak International Hill Climb among two wheelers (both gas and electric) with a time of 10 minutes and 0.964 seconds. The nearest competitor, racing a Ducati Multistrada, finished with a time nearly 20 seconds slower.

Here is the problem for all you haters of progress. The cars and bikes that are kicking ass on the ICE's are production models. They can be bought and, without further alteration, driven comfortably on the street, or raced successfully against tricked out race models that you cannot comfortably drive through a Safeway parking lot.

Progress is wonderful........idealism a virtue. But what can I say......Im an eternal realist which is why Im so universally hated in here. I ALWAYS bring the forum members back to Realville..

People don't like electric cars.....its that simple and one quick look at sales volume is all you need to know.

Look....you cant show up in Fenway Park in Boston with a handful of fans wearing Yankee jerseys and state you are taking the park fan base over.

Why Electric Vehicle Sales Are Still Lagging in America

[skookerasbil]

Hey.....Im laughing..........do you know this thread has dominated virtually every other thread made by the AGW religion over the past 2 years.. Look at the # of "views"............fascinating. Here we are in an ENVIRONMENT forum and nobody cares about the thread topics started by AGW nutters like Mamooth, Crick, Matthew et. al..........they all die off within days.. Meanwhile, a thread called ELECTRIC VEHICLE SALES SUCKING dominates with uber-attention by board members.

New Tesla Model S P90D “Ludicrous Speed” Goes 0-60 MPH in 2.8 Seconds

The highest-performance Tesla Model S gets even quicker thanks to a new “Ludicrous Speed” mode (Elon Musk must be a big “Spaceballs” fan). In combination with a newly optional 90-kWh battery pack, this new mode brings 0-60 mph acceleration down to 2.8 seconds (from a quoted 3.2 seconds for the P85D model). This larger battery pack is offered as an upgrade from the existing 85-kWh model, creating new 90, 90D, and P90D models.
............................................................................................................................................
Ludicrous Speed mode is a $10,000 option for the P90D model that enables a higher maximum amperage of 1500 watts thanks to a smart fuse for the battery pack. Not only is 0-60 mph acceleration time improved by 5 percent, but the quarter-mile time also drops to 10.9 seconds. The Ludicrous Mode battery pack upgrade will also be offered for $5,000 plus installation to existing Model S P85D owners for improved acceleration, though that won’t include an upgrade to the larger 90-kWh battery.

Compared to the Dodge Hellcat;

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat - Instrumented Test

It takes feet as light as a ballerina’s to get the Hellcat to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds—0.1 behind the GT500—and through the quarter-mile in 11.7 at 126 mph—0.1-second ahead and 1-mph faster than the GT500. Dodge quotes an 11.2-second quarter-mile on the tacky surface of an NHRA-certified drag strip, but the Pirellis feel so overstressed that hitting that low ET would also require dropping tire pressures to about 10 psi.

Tesla Model S, fully loaded = $114,000.00

Dodge Charger Hellcat loaded = $64,500.00

Ford F150 Truck loaded = $48,000.00


So......which would the average person want? A Hellcat AND a Ford F150 truck or a Tesla S??

Not to mention at any car show NOBODY is looking at a Tesla S. Everybody is coming over to check out your new Charger Hellcat.

Electric cars are horribly expensive and batteries are an environmental disaster. The only people buying them are envirnuts with big wallets. But the gasoline cars were pirchased by kooks with big wallets back in the day. Whats going on now is we are gradually building infrastructure (hi Matthew!) and working out the kinks in the system. Prices are going to come down, they will get better batteries.
Right now it is the kooks, but they always bring us new and exciting ideas.

 

[skookerasbil]

You ask 100 males, which would you rather drive.........a Tesla S OR a Hellcat and an F150 for the same price as the Tesla?

Maybe 2 people would pick the former..................

duh

 

[browsing deer]

The Tesla is more of a muscle car. Speeds up faster, goes faster

IDK......nice car but I'd prefer to be holding an extra 45K in my hand owning the Hellcat......a few thousands in mods ( lightweight wheels - DR's.....torque converter - intake - tune - maybe some spray ) and all the Tesla is going to see are taillights!!! See ya..............
Plus....there are 4 billion other cars that look like a Tesla. Nothing looks like a Hellcat Dodge ( and Im not even a Dodge guy)......not to mention, nobody goes for the exhaust sound of a Tesla over a Hellcat......certainly if you are a car guy.

 

[skookerasbil]

still sucking.........Tesla shares down 11% and whats this?

Consumer Report Magazine drops the Tesla from their "recommended" list.

Why?

Reliability blows........Im looking at the current magazine and the Tesla is the lowest rated EV BY FAR!!!!!!!


Tesla lower after Consumer Reports cites Model S reliability issues

 

[skookerasbil]

still sucking s0ns!!!


Hey.......anybody see how incredibly unreliable the Tesla is??


Who knew??!!!


Among a handful of the least reliable cars on the road.....well, according to CR anyway!!!

No, he's merely pointing out the progressives willingness to waste vast sums of money on perception. People who buy Tesla's are wealthy and they buy them to show how "green" they are when they are anything but green. Tesla's are more polluting to make, and far more toxic than any ICE powered vehicle and you all blissfully ignore those facts because it makes you feel good. In the meantime you are allowing more environmental damage to occur than would otherwise be possible and you think you are all clever when you are anything but clever.

They don't get it.......its the whole fantasy concept. Been hearing for years about electric cars and this year, they are selling less than 100,000 of them. LMAO......they sell well over 1 million trucks ALONE in the US, forget about total car sales.

Americans don't want faggy-ass electric cars. It is part of the American culture. They want real cars. Most American men wouldn't be caught dead driving a Prius. Almost invariably, they are driven by progressives who don't quite have there feet on the ground. The miserable among us..........heres an example >>>





Hysterical stuff.............typical of the modern tree-hugger nutjob.

I would pay to have a similar run in with this woman.....these people handled this like shit.
