Even the gasser Spark gets sketchy at high speeds. With it's range and driving manners, it's definitely a city car with occasional highway.

Not to drag this thread down the shitter again, but Musk promises what he thinks will be possible to be delivered on the date at which he thinks it will be, and repeatedly gets it wrong. This puts other manufacturers at a serious disadvantage because they're not competing against what Tesla is producing, they're competing against what Tesla has promised. The bolt is has been in production for nearly 2 years now, and we still have yet to see a $35k Model 3. I don't see how the volume of the car could support 180% of the Model S's battery volume, or of a tire that could support a 5000lb+ car up to 250mph. Still, every other electric sports car will be in the shadow of the Roadster 2 until it shows up, if it shows up. They won't be able to exist as they are capable of existing because they'll be compared to what can't yet exist.

There are like 18 Elon Musk threads and this ain't one of em. This is the back end of ford's all electric "Mach 1" which might be called the Model E. They're saying it's designed ground up on an EV platform, and will be 1 of only 5 global platforms going forward, so i would imagine by 2023 there will be like 5 different SUVs on the same electric platform.

spandexcajun posted:Someone mentioned XPEL PPF before. I got my model 3 wrapped with clear llumar (same as XPEL pretty much) with what the detailer called "level 3 protection" wrapped the whole front end, front bumper, full hood, front quarter panels. Also rocker panels, rear quarters panels and part of the rear under the trunk. This is dumb. If the wrap doesn't have UV protection, it will yellow, if it does, the paint underneath will age at a different rate than unprotected paint on the doors and such, if you're being that anal about it anyways and are already throwing down the bills, why not do a full wrap and keep the lovely paint job nice and pristine for the next owner or whatever. The sun is a giant glowing rear end in a top hat in the sky that wants to gently caress up everything we do, so you should cover everything or cover nothing.

Ethereal posted:Looks like there is now a Medium Range (260 mile) Model 3 available for order. LR (310 mile) only available with AWD. It doesn't appear to be software locked but instead is the same pack with fewer cells. This should definitely keep demand fuller for quite a bit longer until they can get the new pack design rolled out. It's probably a software lock, and essentially a sale on already manufactured long range RWD cars, a config that doesn't show up on the site anymore. e: the cheapest model 3 config in canada is still $64,100. The bolt is $44,400. The 2019 leaf is $36,398. Surprisingly, i've still seen some model 3s around. Powershift fucked around with this message at 02:14 on Oct 19, 2018 |

I ain't no magical fortune teller, but i would imagine dead cell replacement/battery refurbishment will become a reasonably sized industry in the next 10-20 years. In the mean time, you have to accept the possibility of a $7000-$15000 bill for battery replacement, but if you consider that most $35k EVs are $8k used, there's definitely room in the budget there.

The new Aviator phev will have a 7 seat option and a "pure ev" mode where it runs entirely on battery. They haven't said what the battery capacity or range is, but it'll probably only be like 25 miles. They said the electric motor is in the 10 speed auto, so it'll probably be the same tech as the mustang, f-150, and bronco hybrid will use. It also suggests a ranger hybrid and exploder hybrid would be a pretty easy option to add. The f-150 hybrid test mule is also sporting a plug on the front fender, so will obviously be a plug-in hybrid. Powershift fucked around with this message at 03:04 on Nov 29, 2018 |

It's got whatever the marketing man says it could have. It's up to engineering to figure out if it's actually possible. 400 mile range from 180kwh of batteries and a 400 mile range with a 2600kg curb weight. So 100kg heavier than a model X P100D with nearly twice the battery capacity.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Quit falling for this poo poo. One of the things holding back adoption of electric cars is what shyster salesmen have advertised as being possible being so much better than reality. Stop letting shitbag salesmen run the world because you want to believe in what they're selling. here's a blast from the past. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3461390&userid=158277&perpage=40&pagenumber=5#post477115752  guess what, this thing is still, STILL, STILL in the pre-order phase, down to "722" ft/lbs of torque, and up to 5,500lbs.FOUR THOUSAND POUNDS heavier than a 4 seat rzr 1000. Stop loving falling for it. put rubber on the road or shut the gently caress up. The $35,000 model 3 doesn't exist until the first person to pay $35,000 for one drives their car. The 400 mile, 3 second 0-60 pickup from a silicon valley start up doesn't exist until it has plates on it. stop comparing what does exist against what a salesman says might some day.
