@PNS@haberdasherall these 'truck' ev's are just a car, a big heavy rc car and its ridiculous to think they are efficient or good at what they claim they can do
@dictatordave@PNS@haberdasherStill waiting for electric motor gas powered... Huge torque and power when you need it, instantly, and less weight from smaller battery and engine. Pipedream still but hopefully within a decade if we don't have faster collapse than expected.
@PNS@BowsacNoodle@haberdasheri will agree all day long that electric motor assisted hyper cars are where that avenue is going, but it will never be a ubiquitous or reliable transport method, never
you could scale it down and make ev's more like the old k cars, that would make them more appealing, and their cost has to go down, like to the $5k or less range, not this 100k bullshit
@dictatordave@PNS@BowsacNoodle@haberdashertbh if you were 100% committed to it i think a sodium battery powered, 100-120 mile range, overweight, 65 mph tops commuter pod would be p doable at a reasonable price and weight
really the solution to mass transit is trains but we can't have those due to Socioeconomic Factors (tm)
@Paultron@PNS@BowsacNoodle@haberdasheryea i just dont see ev's in their current format being realistic and i imagine we'll talk about it in 10 years how it was hilarious watching a bunch of tards jump to a new tech that amounted to a zip drive in the grand scheme of things
@dictatordave@PNS@haberdasherNissan put out an electric drive gas generator car in Japan. It was okay, but Nissan has been bad in a lot of ways lately. Dodge Ramcharger will be probably 100k for an "ev that runs on gas" with a claimed 650+ mile range and insane power. TBH I just want moderate power in a smaller vehicle that doesn't cost more than my house payment.
@dictatordave@PNS@haberdasherNope, got anything cool to link? Toyota has some seriously good engineering. It's fun to say HAHA PRIUS GAYBOI but they figured out how to mesh electric and ICE very well. I know they were doing something big with their SUVs but I haven't looked in a few years.
