"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.

@Str8representing 2 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
@greenbot9467
@greenbot9467 2 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.
@greenbot9467
@greenbot9467 2 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.

If it's an autobahn, then it's not outrageous for Europe, as that's only about $10K more than the US models. In many parts of Europe, a base Golf is $45K, with the GTI more like $55-60K, and the Golf R at about $80K due to gas taxes. It's why the Mustang in the united states is like $35K vs $120K in Europe.

It's congestion charge for everyone, but EVs get a pass because it's incentive for people to adopt less polluting vehicles.

My uncle is a farmer - he drives a 4.6L V8 Range Rover - the tax payers bought that for him - along with his other 11 cars. The same uncle that called me a scrounger for claiming unemployment after I had been made redundant. Farmers don't see subsidies as socialism. They see it more as a "hard work bonus" or something noble like that.

@@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.
