It is not about all that fancy internet-connected GPS attached entertainment systems and ECUs - they are easily hacked and removed.
It is about much more evil thing.
I already wrote about energy yoke on your neck.
I know, you already get it.
With ICE(Internal Combustion Engine) car, you could easily stock fuel for a bad day, you could grow plants and use their oil in your diesel, you could build wood gas generator and run on wood, you could even run your gasoline engine on methane from cow shit. Really, nobody could stop you from rinding your ICE car when you need it.
That is not the case with electric cars. You charge them from centralized electricity network, that could be turned off in a second, if they want to stop any travels.
And charging electric car using home devices like gasoline generators or some solar panels or whatever is not like filling a tank from barrel, and even not like starting a fire in wood gas generator. In the best situation (gasoline/diesel generator) It will take a day to get only few hundred miles and you still need fuel to do it. And it is much more fuel per mile.
So, buying electric car you completely tie yourself to the good will of giant electric corporation / authorities.
And in emergnecy, say, when you will need to ride away, they just turn off electricity few days before. You have a car, but you can't fuel it, at least in reasonable time.
So, electric cars is not about all that ecology crap, and is not about some innovation things, they are just another way to take out some independency from people.
I know, sounds like I'm a Luddite, but that is not true. Really, electric cars is older that ICE ones, And still, just like at the beginning, they are just fancy overpriced and overengineered toys that could not withstand a real-life competition with ICE cars.
Are you really so uneducated? Winter. Near arctic circle. Waves on what? There are no waves on ice.
Winds are unstable, weeks without any wind is norm.
Arkhagelsk city region have 1 million population, f.e. "So small"?
Nice. A link to marketing video.
Oh my.... What word you don't understand in "ability to fix everything by your own hands without any corporations"?
So, what if I'm not vaccinated and Tesla was mandated by gevernment to reject all unvaccinated customers?
You are trying to save your false assumption, but it only make things worse.
Look at what tesla did in Australia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz8xMfecpS8
Not everybody lives in warm Australia.
I have nothing against Musk, he already did a very important thing - remove that dumb and false veil of heroism, complexity and state dependence from space travel. That's good and I appreciate it.
But to impress me with stupid electric toys, he should develop really working power source for his electric cars. Not that stupid and weak, climate and corporations dependent battery. Nuclear reactor, fuel cell, ZPM, whatever.
When he will be ready to make a presentation of something like, PM me, I'll be happy to take a look. But for now, spare me all that solar/lithium/whatever crap.
The vehicles will outlive the original owners. I'm telling you bud. There's a reason I'm invested in tesla. They are delivering on their promise. The cost of the new battery will drop so dramatically, that all the tesla producs will become cheaper.
The next car they will unveil is the one that has 500KM range with the price of a honda civic.
Anyway. Agree to disagree
"Are you really so uneducated? Winter. Near arctic circle. Waves on what? There are no waves on ice."
You need to use the polar extreme example to keep your idiotic FUD going. Bottom line, the solar/EV/Grid will thrive on the most populated areas. "What about the poles" lol Oil is about to go kaput

"A link to marketing video" Not a marketing video, they are explaining what they are coming out with. They have to follow SEC laws and regulations. Regardless Tesla makes products that people want without advertising. My trading account is very happy. This new battery will be the deathblow to ICE and coal.
"ability to fix everything by your own hands without any corporations"?
99% of the people don't do this. So it's like your "WHATABOUTTHEPOALS" Also, EVS are very simple with very few moving parts. The motors of the Tesla Model3 3 for example are rated to a million miles. Who want the grotesque leaky diesel engines LOL.
Oil is so dead. Same with your bullshit.
What? Since when living on the North is "extreme example"? I live on the North, it's -20°C right now outside and sun is over horizon only for few hours a day. In clouds.
Seems you can't even understand the obvious things.
I don't care about 99% of people. That 99% of people jab themselves with some unknown shit, it does not mean that other will do the same.
Electric motors, like batteries never rated in miles. It is marketing idiocy, without any scientific sense.
Motors of ordinary electric locomotive lasts much longer, 3 million kilometers is a typical request in electric locomotive (as whole) tender. 1 million miles in a car is a very bad electric motor.
There are only 2 elements in asynchronous electric motor that wear. Front and rear bearings. That is all. No other parts of electric motor wear at all. When you replace bearings, your electric motor is undistinguisheable from new one. Why it should fail within whatever miles? There are no any limit on electric motor resource at all.
I see you're bullish on electric motors. The test for the model 3 motor was done and stopped at 1 million miles. The motor was then taken apart and it looked brand new. They can, like you said, go way more than that. That makes electric motors the best choice.
Have a good one.
BTW I love Russia. Stay based.
Try to clean your eyes. I like electric motors. They are simple, cheap and reliable. And they have full trust at 0 RPM. Perfect engine for transportation.
The problem is in battery as energy storage for EV. Conventional fuel, as energy storage, is many orders of magnitude better from every side than batteries.
And that batteries drain all perfection from electric motors in EV. Get rid of battery in EV - and it will be a perfect vehicle.
You're Russian right? LOL Tesla is going to build a gigafactory there too ahahahaha. You should apply
So what? A lot of corporations have factories here for a long time. In Russia workforce is cheap, and you could bribe authorities to avoid costs for different things like pollution filters, industrial safety, etc.
Tesla pays the most out of the auto industry. They have a share buying plans that allows the workers to get Tesla stock for something like 15% discount. People that work at tesla love it. I am in Canada and I wish there was a giga here.
