atomicthumbs posted:pretend i put the effort in to make a map of the united states with tiny little shaded blobs on the coasts and maybe in austin and chicago to indicate where you can drive with a tesla. yeah but let's be real you don't want to go to 99% of the USA 99.99% of the time you are in it like once in a great while you can take a car trip and then you can just rent a car or whatever bc you wouldn't take your daily driver on a big road trip like a rube anyway, right?

atomicthumbs posted:1. wrong 1. k well i bought my car and have put 22k miles on it since and they've all been inside LA/orange/SD and Vegas, all of which is easily Tesla territory. 2. well if you have some shitbird Volvo then sure lol but I'm talking about adults with decent cars they don't want to load a ton of miles onto here 3. not relevant to anything. so do I.

atomicthumbs posted:and have you ever lived outside a major metropolitan area it's just a 2015 mazda 3 and the monthly payment was super low (ended up paying it off because of a small windfall anyway) look im just saying 'the coasts' is actually where most of the population is and most people don't really take super long road trips in their daily drivers very often so I don't think that's really a big burn on Tesla

abigserve posted:Fuckin lol Are you retarded? Why would I drive an E55 AMG to Vegas when I could just rent a nice car instead and not have the beast suck down all my gas? $75/day pff you must be retarded. Costs like half that for a decent car with way better mileage. obv my car CAN get to Vegas, but I can also just spend $100 and have a decent rental for the weekend. Mumpy Puffinz posted:all those pictures are from human drivers? At least two of those are for sure human error, I can remember the specific news story. One is in dispute I guess because the wife claims she definitely didn't push the wrong pedal and the autopilot definitely just came on and crashed her car even though none of the sensor/computer data corroborates that (ie she hit the wrong pedal and is trying to sue Tesla about it).

Who told you they don't have AC? Ofc they have AC. If they didn't have AC the battery would overheat.abigserve posted:Gas mileage is pretty important to me which is why I both own a european sports sedan and make sure to only drive it in the city traffic to work and not out on the highway - a stupid person you're right there's 0 reason anyone would ever own more than 1 car, bc that 1 car should be able to fill every single vehicular need you may ever have. idiot

abigserve posted:A compact car here costs fifty a day, minimum and thats assuming you dont value the time spent collecting and dropping off the loving thing Well you're getting shafted on that price but this isn't even my original point. My original point is why wouldn't I buy an electric self driving car for long road trips and keep my daily driver for regular city driving? In response to 'why would anyone even need/want this.' Then some retard said 'who owns 2 cars?!' and here we are, arguing about rental car prices like retards.

atomicthumbs posted:because your use cases are literally completely backwards, for one. "i'm going to buy a long-distance car that can't drive long distances, and use a gasoline car in the situation where it's worst!" Uh no why is an electric car suddenly not a long-distance car? An electric or hybrid car can make it to Vegas from SD just fine and the relative gas mileage savings are significant versus a gas car that isn't super efficient. Some people just have 2 cars get over it

Citizen Tayne posted:The year is 2046, because that is thirty years from 2016. I use my mobile app to summon an Uber autonomous cab to take me to work. It arrives with several major body panels missing. The door pops open and I slide into the back seat, careful to avoid the piles of feces and used needles littering the floor. The car shudders off like an old shopping cart, because two of the tires are blown. "This is progress," I think to myself. this is p funny actually because just this morning I read an article about how Uber is having automated cars (in partnership with Volva) rolled out this year http://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2016-08-18/uber-s-first-self-driving-fleet-arrives-in-pittsburgh-this-month-is06r7on lmao quote:In Pittsburgh, customers will request cars the normal way, via Uber’s app, and will be paired with a driverless car at random. Trips will be free for the time being, rather than the standard local rate of $1.30 per mile. In the long run, Kalanick says, prices will fall so low that the per-mile cost of travel, even for long trips in rural areas, will be cheaper in a driverless Uber than in a private car. “That could be seen as a threat,” says Volvo Cars CEO Hakan Samuelsson. “We see it as an opportunity.” 30 fuckin years my rear end in a top hat this poo poo is going to be everywhere in a decade Moridin920 fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Aug 18, 2016 |

Cool well if they can't go from Beta test to full commercial production in less than thirty years then you might be on to something lmao Here's another article I can't wait for you to handwave away somehow http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/17/business/ford-promises-fleets-of-driverless-cars-within-five-years.html quote:At a news conference on Tuesday at the company’s research center in Palo Alto, Calif., Mark Fields, Ford’s chief executive, said the company planned to mass produce driverless cars and have them in commercial operation in a ride-hailing service by 2021.

Citizen Tayne posted:You're entitled to your opinion. In the meantime, give me a call when they're capable of driving in real world conditions. so Uber Ford and BMW and dozens of other major investors are pouring billions into a product they expect to have ready by 2021ish and you're sitting there going 'nope, it won't be ready until the 2040s because currently they are bad in the rain.' I know it can hurt to admit it sometimes but maybe just maybe you're wrong and you're digging your heels in to avoid losing face or whatever?

Citizen Tayne posted:It is mind-blowing how many people there are who are emotionally invested in living in a high tech Neo Tokyo and get enraged when you suggest it may not happen soon. it's mind blowing how you reach this conclusion, and not simply the conclusion that we don't believe you when you say X but everyone else from CEOs of major automotive companies to start up engineers to programmers are going 'this will be done within a decade or two.' I mean bro super smart scientists and people in the field said the Human Genome Project would take decades and decades and decades but hey technology advanced and we knocked that poo poo out in less than 15 years. That's better indication of how this will go than some random 70s NASA video.
