Ventured out of my protectorate ( I-4 corridor) and drove down to South Florida. At the turnpike rest stop, the Teslas were stacked up, sitting, waiting to get juiced. The dozen or so chargers weren’t enough. Teslas seem pretty cool, but not for a road trip. What I saw confirmed my main objection. Maybe a good commuter car, but you will want a gas fueled second car to go far fast.
@sickburnbro@white_male@Hempressemilym@Johnmccabe Yup, I remember the Sony batteries exploding fiascos of the early 2000s, and wasn't one of Samsung's phones some years back not allowed on planes because it routinely burst into flames.
I'm surprised that they've gotten the lithium batteries as reliable and not prone to exploding as they have.
As stupid and full of shit as Elon is, he must have a lot of very competent White engineers working for him and that's why not every Tesla is a rolling ball of fire.
The basic problem is that a battery isn't a "electrical storage device" it's a chemical storage device, and you are hoping that you can convert all the chemicals back into the usable form. Depending on the battery chemistry there are known configurations which cause degredation.
But people are taught to use them like "magic electrical storage device" An example is how we "know" how full a battery is - by measuring the voltage. Except that's not a measure of watt hours, it's a measure of voltage, which simply correlates well with stored energy under simple conditions. So the "solution" is to make complex algorithms which track how fast the voltage changes to better map to how much is actually available.
I like the youtube videos promoting pretend future tech that will increase battery densities ten times or something ridiculous... aka a bomb.
We have something that has a very high energy density, comes in a liquid form that's easy to transport and put into your car and we've learned to make it quite safe, it's called gasoline.
@Bill_Boone@white_male@Hempressemilym@Johnmccabe For sure - what I'm talking about is that chemistry is best done under a very tightly controlled set of environments, and what we are asking with chemical battery cars is to have them work in a huge wide swath of circumstances, and getting merely to THIS point has been a pile of cludges on top of cludges.
Just as an example. The chemistry of a battery allows 1000 regular charges from 50% to 100%. Or 800 from 20% to 100%. Or 500 quick charges from 50% to 100%. Or 200 quick charges from 20% to 100%. Then you have to account for ambient temperature of charging, because charging in low temps is just not possible.
The criticism is based on "it just works" mindset, not how physics work, only in commercials. ;]
@Bill_Boone@charliebrownau@Hempressemilym@Johnmccabe@white_male you guys really need to look into puritans and historical religious movements in the united states. There are weird things that happen that don't involve jews. The joke is that Harvard started as a school to train ministers and never stopped, and there is a core of truth in that.
I mean that'd explain why such a moron got so many hand outs from the government to become so wealthy.
but the rest of your shit is just shizo crap, who cares about the WEF, their just fags that bow to jew power, as far as I understand "Sustainable Development" is just jew power.... so I don't think you gotta cloud the issue whith all this shizo crap.
