"Amazing" isn't the term i would use. "Awesome" is probably more fitting. Electric cars still aren't practical for anybody that doesn't live in a city. Its just a weather weenie wet dream. They'll never replace ICE vehicles without governments forcing on people. Most people dont want a car that takes hours to refuel only to go 200 miles. That wont even get you from one major city to the next in the Western US. You'd have to stop twice just going from LasVegas to Phoenix and add hours of trip time to charge the stupid thing. Batteries will always suck for range. Its the fault in this fuel source. Give it another decade all the electric cars will be tiny terrible little things nobody wants but thats all that will be available on the market due to government overreach.

@greenbot94672 жыл бұрын
They are a softer compound and have plenty of grip. Read a few reviews - they confirm that handing is good too. I’ve driven one.
@Str8representing2 жыл бұрын
Handling is not grip. E-cars are heavier -> less grip. Smaller contact patch on the tyre with the road -> less grip. It's basic car dynamics physics. Yeah and many car reviews nowadays are just ads with more praising than criticism
@greenbot94672 жыл бұрын
I am aware of the difference between grip and handling but the two are related. Reviews aren’t always ads, but I did include that it’s based on my own experience. I’m not interested in a debate but I’ll finish with this - weight can increase grip (the R-35 GTR used this to it’s advantage and I believe it was considered in the design) and rubber compounds can compensate for less contact patch; otherwise your argument would mean that a larger contact patch would compensate for harder tyres - and different compounds of tyres in F1 wouldn’t make a difference.
@greenbot94672 жыл бұрын
Also, the i3 is one of the lighter BEVs - it’s weight and tyre width are perfectly acceptable on the road, in my 3-days of mixed weather experience, including spirited cornering and braking as I was considering purchasing one.

So as you can see, POWER won in the short distance, but SPEED won at the end.

nope! It is TORQUE vs POWER. And even more correctly having a one speed transmission VS having a geaarbox

@@USUG0 "power is how fast you hit the brick wall, torque is how far you'll push past the wall" so it is Speed (gearing) and Power vs Torque. Also its technically not a 1 speed gearbox it's a Continous Variable Transmission (CVT) there's no clutch at all unlike a single speed gearbox which would still have one. The BMW i3 enjoys no delay from the clutch and instant torque but suffers a low top speed, a heavier weight and running out of power after he's reached about 50 mph due to the CVT gearbox. The Golf enjoys alot of power, a much lighter weight, a performance oriented gearbox with 6 gears on a DCT gearbox so it changes gear the fastest a manual car can possibly but the golf suffers because the power delivery isn't immediate (especially with a turbocharged engine) and he has to actually change gear which means for very small amounts of time it isn't accelerating. But regardless that i3 isn't worth £40'000, £40k for a commuters car?? You could comfortably buy a used Nissan GTR for that money and if you run it a long time it'll be better for the environment than just that BMW's production, the GTR won't force you to drive at 50mph with the radio, air conditioning, Bluetooth etc off because its low of fuel, it doesn't take an hour to fill up and if you drive it politely will do hundreds of miles on a full tank.

Would still have a Golf GTI over any electric car. 20 min charging? Driving a computer? Pass.

I love when Jeremy is paired with James, it's a fair fight. Of course Jeremy always initiate the attack but James always has counter. Clarkson and Hammond, it's a bullying for Hammond. May and Hammond, it's boring, because they always has agreements in the end.

We have i3's at our work place as company cars, well its ugly to look at looks like if an i8 had a stroke, positive point is it works it gets you from A to B (if its the distance is under 250km) 😅

So BMW's first ever EV compared to decades of ICE development and people can't see that ICE are already trailing unless you thrash them to over legal limits.
@USUG02 жыл бұрын
so, it took the GTI to drive at more than any legal speed limit in UK to overtake a boxy city car
