So we have built an infrastructure that provides explosive fluids that anybody with a driver's license can use all over the US. Like every 20 miles there is an explosive fuel dispenser for nearly anyone to use. But you say it is crazy, or impossible to build an infrastructure for charging electric cars. I'm not saying we should or should not do this, I'm saying it is silly to think that it can not be done and be done effectively. I suppose you would rather have a carbureted engine with nearly no suspension, glass that breaks and kills people, and no seat belts. Yeah that problem could never be fixed right? I love your shows generally but you're showing your grandpa age by yelling "get off my lawn" whenever you see something unfamiliar. I get it, electric cars are hyped. All cars are hyped and outdated. That doesn't mean we can not create something better, nor do we need to go back to 60's technology. Come on Scotty get into the 21st century. There is no going back.

LOL, people with domestic solar panels can no longer get huge feed in tariffs because the power companies have their own solar and they both peak at same time.

Don't know if you know this... but this is the first time electric cars are being subsidized and pushed by every major car manufacturer. Also don't know if you're aware but technology advances every year. Electric car tech is about 5% of what it will be in 10-20 years. They haven't even started putting solid state batteries in them yet. Those are lighter in weight, and can be charged perhaps twice as fast as the current lithium ion batteries in 99% of electric cars. Patience my friend. The technology will catch up, thats for sure.

[@davidbrayshaw3529]

@@LUk3.M. Battery tech will hopefully see incremental improvements, but that's about it. And those improvements will come perhaps in charge/discharge rates and cycle life, not so much so in gravitational or volumetric energy density. Electric cars are about as good as they will ever be. Electric motors are up to 90% efficient, inverters are up to 85% efficient, drag coefficients are more than 75% efficient and at the practical edge of reasonable limitations, gear boxes... the same. And cars weigh "X", be that 1 ton or 2. Suggesting that Electric car tech is 5% of what it will be in 10-20 years just doesn't make sense. That means everything has to be 20X better. It is a physical impossibility to take something that is 90% efficient and make it 20X better. It's a physical impossibility to take a drag coefficient of 0.25 and make it 20X better. The same with inverters. The mindset that EV's are at the same point of evolution as the Model T Ford was 100 years ago couldn't be more wrong. All of the technology that goes into the critical functions of EV's is drawn from 150 years of automotive, electrical and industrial developments. Those developments have plateaued.

Actually a lot of EV charging stations work like that. Many Tesla super chargers are Electrify America stations use a gigantic 1 megawatt hour battery that gets trickle charged all day. That can about handle 10-15 cars before going flat, but recharging takes a long time. Really it only works in areas people don't constantly use them which is fine as EVs only use these chargers for a quick top up or on road trips. The advantage of charging at home is not needing as much of this infrastructure.

[@davidsimmons8447]

So overall not ready for showtime.

[@Skylancer727]

@davidsimmons8447 sounds adequate to me. If the battery is flat it still charges the stations at around 75kw as they still have a 480V supply. It will be slower but still incredibly fast. About a full charge in an hour. Many EVs only charge at that rate anyways past 50-60% charge. If you needed road trips that badly, well then maybe an EV wasn't for you. Nothing wrong with vehicles for specific lifestyles. Saying EVs are worthless is like saying everyone should buy the same exact style or car like a pickup. People buy what suits their life. If you have to change your life for your car, then it clearly wasn't for you.

When the electric company is asking people to not use as much air conditioning and to reduce electric demand, I highly doubt the infrastructure could also withstand powering all of our cars at home.

So we have built an infrastructure that provides explosive fluids that anybody with a driver's license can use all over the US. Like every 20 miles there is an explosive fuel dispenser for nearly anyone to use. But you say it is crazy, or impossible to build an infrastructure for charging electric cars. I'm not saying we should or should not do this, I'm saying it is silly to think that it can not be done and be done effectively. I suppose you would rather have a carbureted engine with nearly no suspension, glass that breaks and kills people, and no seat belts. Yeah that problem could never be fixed right? I love your shows generally but you're showing your grandpa age by yelling "get off my lawn" whenever you see something unfamiliar. I get it, electric cars are hyped. All cars are hyped and outdated. That doesn't mean we can not create something better, nor do we need to go back to 60's technology. Come on Scotty get into the 21st century. There is no going back.

[@pipeeeeees]

Lot of people quick to hate on EVs or fanboy over EVs in these comments EVs have less moving parts and induction motors that are incredibly reliable and efficient. Regenerative braking also recaptures energy that would otherwise be converted into heat. So less brake wear. No tailpipe emissions which makes air cleaner in residential areas at least. EVs have genuine plusses The big negative to EVs is the battery technology not meeting the high standards for energy density, longevity, safety, and refueling time found with ICE. The infrastructure for refueling is still in its infancy. It’s being pushed hard on people and people are understandably weary and bothered. Maintenance on high voltage car systems needs a whole new level of technicians and mechanics to be trained to work on them at risk of death by electrocution. Even the promise of EV’s being green is with the big asterisk that most electricity generated on earth is generated by fossil fuels (incredibly dependent on where you live and local energy generation sources though). So there are legit reasons to push back on EV’s… or at least not be a huge fan of them being pushed on society so hard. I think Scotty doesn’t root against EV’s, he consistently seems to point out the flaws though and that’s fair

Okay so you don't like Electric Cars. I don't like them either as battery technology is not sufficient yet. That said, I don't understand your obvious glee at Elon Musk having troubles. This is a great man who: - Created the first payment system that we all use to purchase items online securely. - Created a massive car company that is pushing the boundaries of technology. - Created the most successful space launch company the world has every seen. - Created the a world wide Internet Satellite system like we have never seen before. Your greatest accomplishment Scotty is changing brake rotors and using a machine that plugs into the car that tells you what is wrong. So maybe you should not try to denigrate a great man who is exponentially smarter and more productive than 100 Scotty Kilmers will ever hope to be. So you can go ahead and check your ego dude.

There is a difference between between FSD and autopilot. Autopilot is what they are being sued for. Autopilot is exactly what the name implies, autopilot on a plane does not take off or land it maintains altitude and velocity. Scotty you are the one making false claims, FSD 12.5.1 is as its name implies full self driving end to end. It works extremely well and is progressing extremely fast. FSD 12.5.1 is close to as reliable as a human, soon they will be vastly better. My wife owns a model y and it is the best vehicle we have ever owned. It has saved us a ton of money and is a superior ride.
