tesla model 3 top speed is 263kmhr

batteries are mainly too heavy to run trucks as well

and change the ratio of rotation delivered to the axel

Fun fact: many huge robotic arms also have "gears"
Or rather two types of motors connected via common differential
One motor is an AC, another is DC
One starts moving an arm, another keeps it moving

yeah, that is one way to do it . another is usingg a capacitor

Called Motor-Generators

im not an electrical engineer but i study materials engineering

@Uksio keel.

almost certain teslas don't have gears that switch

These complicated setups are being replaced by a hybrid AC/DC motors that can do all that by themselves now

So differential coupling is a bit outdated now

did alot of retrofits of those type of units swapping the starter motor for a Variable Freq Drive

@Krisemann the only thing I remember is crystal structure and how the different ones form under different temps and pressures

VFDs are typically even better than MGs

@Jack of Trades yeah like iron FCC and BCC etc

and always 'better' in terms of efficency

https://c1cleantechnicacom-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/files/2018/10/Tesla-Model-3-Motor-Gearbox.png

but i'd take the drop in efficency to be able to 'drive' and EV

yeah it has a reduction gear

> one gear hahaha
> two gear hahaha

but it doesn't like go frmo gear 1 ro gear 2

differential

not a transmission

@Krisemann yeah plus some other stuff. I had the basic materials class, then a lot of stuff related to silicon in specific

Differential transmissions are also a thing

@Uksio so a mechanical part can do 1 million miles, but their argument is that they dont have a lot of mechanical parts so mmuh EV good

so not really a 'gear' in the sense we normally use it

@Jack of Trades yeah

electronics don't have that kind of reliability

you can only cycle a transistor so many times

well, they can

especaially an IGBT

@Vindi i. thinking of making some faces robotics for custom masks. Doesn't have to be great, but decent mimicking of face motion and mouth flapping would be a good start

@ManAnimal yeah but, it's a lot of times

wut

an LGBT "transistor" <:whep:537906389964554241>

but each operation takes sometomes hundreds

lol

Integrated Gate Bipolar Transistor

hah, its bipolar

Used for power electronics

yup

<:BIGBRAIN:501101491428392991>

that's what she/her said

Shim

<:wokeanimal:599350706989826125>

There are many non gears then: DSG the newest Königsegg transmission

I'm still watching tesla bjorn in the background eating mcdonalds while supercharging his tesla

don't ask me why

They are non-conventional

CVT is retarded

'supercharging'?

that's what tesla chargers are called

weighs more than manuals so manuals get better economy

how to make an electrical car hum like an ICE.. hmm

DSG is a neat design

make the battery inefficient

that is the biggest drawback with using the DC starting motor

weight

But VW seems to be determined to fucki it up with cheap parts -.-*

or AC starter in tesla

EVs also wear down roads more with their weight

lol

@ManAnimal There are clever hybrid motors that have multiple modes that can act as DC or AC (by behaviour, that is)

no, its a huge problem

but i suppose the motor driver circuitry is alot simpler with AC control

if that's not grasping at straws I don't know what is

spiked winter tyres plus heavy weight EVs here

well. all motors are generators

It's just hybrid motors cost a fortune

the roads can't handle it

just how you wire them

it can

it just wears down quicker

wonder how much regenerative braking they do?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSxQtHOfljE

Cool shtuff

regen is significant

30% of energy recovered I think?

lol

KINGS EGG

Koenig = King

Yes

his pronunciation SUCKS

What's so funny about a surname?

regen is one of the biggest driving drawbacks for my part to EV

the way he says it

let go of gas cause dangerous situation

cringe worthy

shit fucking brakes

or

potential dangerous situation

say a crossing with bad sight

on my volvo i just move my foot

to the brake, and hold it there

wut

yeah, that is nice

EVs have brakes

i know

Koenigsegg has the coolest out-of-the-box thinking vehicles

ive driven one myself

but when you let go of the gas, it brakes

nice, first i have heard of them

thats a problem

well that's configurable

Just because they have a fooney name, does not mean they are bad at making fast cars

not on the Kia i drove

i hate that volvo brake feature

retarded

yeah because legacy car companies are stupid and implementing EVs stupidly

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZWeNPi2XkE

my volvo freaks out and gives me the auto brake alarm pretty often

electrical engrs can do mechanical

lol

mechanicals cannot do elecrical

they fuck it up most of the time

well this is why Tesla is so great. Elon such a powerful leader he can attract the best in the world of any field

and everyone can do sandbox engineerign

Koenigsegg holds several speed records

that is for the washouts

<:thinkgon:560211224923734026>

who the fuck would want to work at a legacy ICE compay where everyone hates EVs?

if you're top tier engineering talent for electronics etc

a gearhead

of course

^

so, a mechanical engineer

Agreed, but

cars built by motorheads are much better

yup

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glf_k4qGBAA

mazda knows this

Supercar on a hydraulic gearbox

It'll still dilute the pool of EE for those companies

wew

well, cars are still mechanical devices

I drove a mazda 3, weakest car ever

no matter what makes the wheeels turn

my gfs toyota corolla drove better

Koenigsegg just does not do normal

mazda3 isnt a race car

very sluggish on the throttle, weak even when you give it the beans

annoying AF infotainment system

mazda 3 has less pull than a Prius

"WOAH your 80s ICE is slower than every fucking car today just scrap it"

I couldn't figure out how to mute without just turning volume to zero and I'm a software engineer!

until the EMP hits

this was a 2016 model

then the 80s ICE will be all that RUNS

okay

my volvo runs without electricity, thats kinda cool

so does mine

i can't stand they way the new cars have their CAN

but it complains my battery is low

i tried once, hadnt properly mounted the battery and suddenly all the shit dies

@ManAnimal use a bike forehead

Also

power steering, hydraulic brakes

not a problem

Integrate faraday cage

And look like a retard

faraday cage? .... with BATTERIES>

woke

ah, no

Xd

I meant around the vehicle

As a joke

ah.

Fun fact: mil spec humvees can have toque converters on all four wheels

wowee

how do you know about MIL-SPEC?

1399?

The civilian humvees come dumbed down with conventional transmission and such

the day ICE is banned will be the day motorheads will make their own state with blackjack and hookers

iCE? the border agents?

@JackH670 see? ManAnimal aint too bad to have around

and ICE the engine

yes <:BIGBRAIN:501101491428392991>

You can get the one with toque converters too as a civilian, but it will cost you much fuel to drive

yeah, mil-specs always made me laugh

Just invent teleporters

:forehead:

people complain when something the gov buys breaks

so they only by mil-spec parts

problem is that qualifcation costs MONEY

and companies then charge a premium to much up for the cost of certification

and then the gov MUST only by approved mil-spec parts

so that i how the gov pays $200 for a hammer

That is any qualitifcation though

@ManAnimal I like mil spec for some things, but largely no

I pay extra for AOP wine

Or schnell helmets

nah, iSO is so much easier

@A Drunk Changeling greetings pony fag. Going to BC?

mil-specs are retarded

No, why?

Mil-spec just means: reliable enough to not suck at the battlefield

yup

Which is better than a lot of chinese crap XD

Do you need to be certified to say "milspec"?

And only 1/10K will fail within a certain period

Which is still pretty good for some stuff. Ammo cans are cheeeeap

Sometimes it is a good feature
Sometime milspec is a total overkill for a civilian usage

yup

They're handy for keeping a lot of shit

@Jack of Trades military ammo cans are basically disposable

accountability or a paper trail is expensive

It is

Bureaucracy costs a lot

if you TRUST a person, they can do it cheaper

but they can also rob you blind

Yes but capitalism os based on caveat emptar

Or whatever the fuck you inferioir continentals say

capitalism isnt possible without security

and that security comes from gov

Not really

otherwise, theft

at present, it does

The amount my store pays on private security is a lot.

doesn't have to but it does for teh moment

private security is also only as honest as the gov forces it to be

Holy shit

if no gov, then private security just TAKES

Let's *not* go back to the retarded ancap discussion

We have a 3-4 person security team on duty most days. (Liqour store)

He is a brony

Kill all bronies

I mean... its all just security

Chief designer at koenigsegg is enjoying pony cartoons

Jokes on you coolic I already swallowed the pills

Koenigsegg sounds like a gay name

sad

Why sad?

Ich bin koenig!

Dude knows a good show hen he sees it

Wo ist mein gehochen?!

I tried killing myself via anal fissures but the XL chance wasn't big enough <\3

The only thing interesting about that name is that it contains "nig" in it

lol

king-nig?

Gay German shit

Go away Germany

germany isn't gay.

we just killed all the men

No

But germans are

we just k illed all the men

Germany has been the cause of Europe's problens for time immemorial

Ye
