Yeah, from our damn tax dollars!

COMING TO A THEATER NEAR YOU: FORD VS. TESLA!

 

[mountie]

One thing to consider about a comparison "test" between Ford / Tesla.....
Marketing engineers could have done some physics & math.....
How to attach the Tesla to the Ford and take weight off the Ford to reduce traction and be able pull the heavier Ford.

It's all about the footprint on the ground.

I can bet if Ford was doing the same test, the Ford would succeed.

Holy sh*t, did you see that? Indestructible body, 0-60 in 2.9 seconds, faster than most Ferrari’s, 500 mile range.

It towed that Ford F-150 backwards, uphill like the Ford was a toy. I predict their next iteration will include a 3rd row and enclosed back to compete with Suburban, eventually.

will PETA's heads explode when they realize this truck will be great for hunting...
nice & quiet while out stalking prey


& other send of spectrum...autopilot will be great for gangs & drive-bys. truck drives shooter to address.
sneak up easy & super quick getaways

I doubt it. The electric motors at all 4 wheels combined with the computer really works out as far as torque and traction are concerned. Ever ridden in a Tesla roadster? It’s pretty amazing.

We need a destruction thread!

We have plenty of them with almost every thread Brent has started.

The content, formats, fonts, colors and excessive/misused emoticons in itself is destructive to the reader's brain cells.

I have seen the test's they did with the production sedans against the fastest cars in the world, tesla smokes them all out the gate anyway

I agree with the software they use they can apply a massive amount of torque to those electric motors, they can already smoke the quickest gas car's in the world out of the gate with a production sedan, it's only after about 100mph that any of them can catch up
skip to 5 minutes for the actual race

Who's Brent?

Who's Brent?

My post pretty much pinpoints your answer. As you casually browse TYF, you'll see the colorful, messy and incomprehensible posts. When you see it, you'll shit brain cells.

This is because, theoretically, at it's rated voltage, an electric motor makes 100% of it's rated torque at 0 RPM.

For you engineers reading this and itching to correct and complicate it with your technicalities, I know there are factors and variables that counter the 100% theory. But, it's still something an internal combustion engine's power band will never compare to.

electric cars are silent and deadly

Battery operated vehicles are not cleaner, cheaper, safer or more practical than vehicles powered by internal combustion engines; they are good for children's toys and making those with no grasp of physics feel relevant.

I just drove from Tampa to Jax Beach, and I used maybe 1/2 tank. 90 mph whole way and mileage was 22.6 average.

Let's have an engineer do the math on that vs. coal burning Al Gore mobiles.

 

[PatDTN]

If I charge it up at our local hydro-Electric plant it's green.

at the expense of fish. hydro is just a big fish blender
wind at the expense of birds

nuclear waste far worse then coal

 

[PatDTN]

But all those chummy fish are feeding lots more birds.

So a Tesla with a diesel genny on a trailer would last forevah!!


The energy storage war is leaning towards the battery but the infrastructure that supports it is nowhere near green. The process from manufacture to recycling is a polluting mess. That isnt including recharge.
