Yeah, EVs are inherently faster than ICE, but it's not really important. What I like about mine is how smooth the accelerator feels. It's hard to describe but the power curve is just so even without the big surge on a tiny touch of the pedal. Steady gettin' up!

What's the point of alternating screaming acceleration with screaming
braking? And then waiting an hour to get a stall and charge?

The Navy just cancelled their rail gun fiasco. Gunpowder wins. It took
them half a billion dollars to figure that out.

EMALS has been a lot of trouble too. Steam wins.

The push to electrify everything while destroying all the reliable
sources of supply is liable to lead to another Bronze Age-style collapse.

Not too easy to escape from a brush fire if you've used up your EV's
battery powering your aircon during a rolling blackout.

Diversity of supply for yours truly, any day.

How much do you think was spent developing CWIS. And then again on
a couple decades of upgrades and improvements. And how much went
into Laser high powered 'kill' devices? They have been exploding
unexploded ordnance on artillery ranges with those for years.

And the per round price is far lower as well. Oh and let's not
forget the range difference, which makes the railgun a clear winner
in my book. By many tens of miles.

The fact is that a high priced guided missile fired from a drone
ends up being considered more reliable at asset destruction.

Do you think that $5 for a beer today is too much?

Compare to 1960 prices and we are actually doing pretty good these
days even with the specialty varieties.

Steam does not win and neither does Asbestos. But you keep right
on believing the TrumpTarded baby bullshit.

It took a while (decades) to get punks like you to figure out that
we need aircraft carriers and submarines as well, not to mention UAVs
and UGVs.

Dipshits like you do not know how to measure things very well.
Much less how such costs get amortized out.

Sure, bub.

Steam will be on ships for decades to come... Right.

That's why they went from coal and petrol fired boilers and huge
diesel engines to Nuclear Reactor powered steam generators.

If you think that steam is better or less bulky than a linear motor
actuator, you are more nuts than larkin simply believing the Trump
Hayride tripe.

Motor tech has come a long way. We know quite well how to convert
electron energy into rotary or linear motion of huge masses. You
know... that thing we scientists call WORK.

Electricity is a bad way to deliver a lot of energy. Great for small
stuff, or huge short bursts.

It's funny that rail guns and em launchers store energy in spinning
masses. Megagauss magnets do too. Batteries and caps are wimpy
compared to chemical and mechanical energy storage.

Your constant stream of crude insults would be less ludicrous if you
were right once in a while.

I'm sure your EVs will eventually prevail, but the first generation of
them seems well worth avoiding. In fact the first generation of
*anything* is well worth avoiding IMV. But if people like yourself
want to spend good money assisting in the development of this kind of
vehicle, to get it to what *one day* will be an obvious first choice
over ICE cars, then do so with my blessing. I may well switch to
electric myself at some point in the future, but it's going to take a
massive improvement in energy storage technology for me to make that
switch and I can't see that happening in the next few years at least.
I should add that one day, IF I do switch, I shall do so on my own
terms: by putting the motors and batteries into classic cars. I do NOT
want any computers controlling anything under any circumstances!

Quite. The negative environmental consequences of the present battery
technology can also not be understated. But what I personally object
to most of all is being *railroded* into adoption of these vehicles
when the technology, supply infrastructure and generating supply
capacity simply isn't there yet. So I'll be dragging my feet
indefinitely I'm afraid.

Perhaps you could find a tropical island nest. No microwave ovens, or any sort of oven at all, no clothes washers or dryers, no phones, no lights, no motor cars, not a single luxury. Like Robinson Crusoe, It's primitive as can be.

Lol!

It's a hatchback with a real roof. 5 doors. Good for hauling 5 people
or one filing cabinet or a half dozen 10' 2x4s. AWD, great snow and
ski car.

3.2l non-turbo V6 is good on mountains and freeways. And it can gas up
anywhere in less time than it takes to squeege the windows.

I don't see Teslas with roof racks or sheets of plywood on top. Might
wreck the range.

I strapped a futon on top and made it to Truckee on one tank of gas.
Try that with a Tesla!

Engine control computers are a practical necessity these days, but
that doesn't mean you need a crazy touch screen interface to blow the
horn. I like knobs that I can feel and turn without taking my eyes off
the road.

And not just cars. Stoves, washing machines, doorknobs.

We have motorized window shades in our conference room, with remotes
that nobody ever understood. I told people they would be dead in a
couple of years, and they are. The ones in my office, with a pull
chain loop, still work fine.

That is true. A full tank of gas will definitely hamper a Tesla. Any sort of trailer will do that for most cars.

Wasn't it a Tesla that just set a new record for ascending Pike's Peak in one class?

won it's class no records could be set it was a shortened course. It was a modified car, slower than modified cars in other classes

But the overall record is an all electric car, at altitude electric has a big advantage and the course is only 20km

I haven't ascended Pike's Peak in weeks at least.

I drive over the Sierra Crest and the Audi works fine, except for

And he cannot figure out that he gets a stream of insults because he
constantly spews streams of insults.

When I lived in Denver we called it "Pike's Weak" because they
charged like $8 a pop to drive to it back in the wearly '90s.

Mt Evans is higher and nobody there usually. Highest paved road in
the nation. Drive right up to the peak.
