Legit electric car question

That sucks. Like absolutely sucks.

 

Anecdotal evidence is not data, yo!

And shit.

 

A lot of data is derived from anecdotal evidence.

 

But only if people more smat than the rest of us gather and collate said evidence, then tell us what it means.

It is for our own good.

 

Yeah it sucks. When the story 1st came out, I assumed since it was a single car accident on a friday at 11:30pm, that it was a bunch of kids out being stupid. Nope. A 48yr old couple from northern WI, a 56yr old guy from somewhat local to where the crash happened and a 55yr old couple from the Twin Cities area. The update for the story said the car was a red 2016 Tesla Model S.

 

Thanks I needed a good laugh!

Have they done a scientific experiment to prove human petroleum use will cause the end of the world yet?

I'd love to have meaningful climate discussions as the climate always has been and always will change. But the false assertion of carbon = climate precludes us from talking about it. Does MIT want climate grants? Then they need to play the carbon game.

 

Sounds like you're saying that sample size matters. Nonsense!

 

Only if it confirms your preconceived position.

 

Usually shortly after a new aftermarket stereo installation.

 

C'mon they dumped them.

 

In a very big way. Tons of news reports out there verifying this.

Yea, because we can all buy all those BYD cars in america? Interestingly BYD cars are available at good prices elsewhere, but not here. However, BYD forklifts are available here and are very expensive, so they don't sell very well?

 

Dumped, sold, burned to the ground... It's mostly irrelevant to the benefits of EVs or their adoption rates. Renters not being able to access charging in unfamiliar places will resolve itself as charging quickens, consumers become more accustomed, and state with charging deserts install them.

Tesla has among the highest consumer satisfaction ratings of any manufacturer, so I'm not sure what arguing the Hertz point is intended to prove. US rental fleets are a fraction of worldwide car sales and emissions.

 

Consumer satisfaction doesn't equate to market growth...it just means when the piece of shit breaks down, they're receptive to resolving the problem fast.

 

Sometimes you sound like a shit salesman with a mouth full of samples!!!

What KW rate are you using? I know with my utility the best rate we pay is 32 cents per kWh and upto 65 cents. So using your number of 75kw battery going 315 miles = $24 at our best rate, which based on Colorado's current average of 3.039 = 7.897 gallons or 39.888 MPG. At .65 kWh that is $48.75 per fill-up / 315 miles = 16.04 gasoline equivalent and drops your fuel efficiency down to 19.638 MPG.

BTW in case you missed it, my wife drives a Mercedes EQS 580 plus, so I don't hate electric cars. But I'm not getting fabulous MPG equivalent ratings you mention. However my wife got the car she wanted and it is pretty nice and very quick. And personally neither of us got it to virtue signal or to prove we car about the environment.

I was actually thinking of getting myself some kind of electric so I could drive in the carpool lane, while commuting for work. Then I learned that is finally ending next year, so I decided to buy myself that "chick car" boxster and enjoy my drive while shifting gears. However the quickness of a Tesla Plaid is still appealing to me.

 

How about a son, wouldn't he benifit from most of those things too?

 

I think I've noted here more than once that math is way less than his strong suit.

 

Here in GA average kWh rate is $.14 cents. Off peak charging for EV is 0.0445 per kWh. Yeah...

I did the math. My diesel gets 36mpg. EV would still cut my bill by 75%.

How long before GA has stupid high electricity rates like Cali do? Who knows.
