Basades Kaiser (basadeskaiser@cawfee.club)'s status on Friday, 01-Dec-2023 07:14:58 JST Basades Kaiser @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. -
Eoka Pistol (mutsu_a125@poa.st)'s status on Friday, 01-Dec-2023 07:14:58 JST Eoka Pistol @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. -

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

sapphire (sapphire@shortstacksran.ch)'s status on Friday, 01-Dec-2023 07:42:16 JST sapphire @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 -

>control who's allowed to use energy for transportation and when, batteries take hours on end of high current consumption to charge compared to liquid fuels that can be stored and transported in containers and easily bought and sold -

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 -

What's different about carrying 3 tons of fuel and a 200 pound motor over 200 pounds of fuel for a 3 ton motor? -

you just killed your own argument in the same post you made it, I'm impressed. -

Put them together and LMK how it goes
