Tesla is funded, not funding. The company is living off a pipe dream, which isn't a pipe dream for other companies
Other elec vehicle companies are in the black, tesla keeps in the red. I think Elon is already started to pull out
maybe. but it just shows it's possible
even if it always doesn't work out
There are viable ways already, tesla just isn't one of them. Look at 'zero motorcycles' for example, they have sustainable businesses and even race bikes already, at a competitive price. Tesla is still too over priced for normal people to buy one
When people understand they can convert their 1992 corola to an electric vehicle for us$5k then what does tesla have to offer?
Buy a corvette and convert it cheaper than a pries
that's always been possible
that being said Tesla has helped advance the technology
and expensive to cheaper has always been their business model
Nazi's helped advance science, Tesla helps advance science, Elon Musk is a space Nazi for sure
I personally think mass electric cars are a pipe dream
ooooh are we playing 6th degree nazi separation
Electric cars are no more efficient, atm the power production is worse than just using a petroleum engine, when solar is advanced enough then the production of panels will be in parr as bad
yeah
electrics are 100% efficient
charging them isn't
and range is major issue
Lets use petroleum fuel to make electricity, have a power loss in the transfer, and then claim the car itself is efficient.
yup
charging via solar or wind or hell even nuclear power would be ideal
One of the first things I learned as an electrician is IR² (otherwise known as power losses or Copper loss). It is unavoidable and the more system the bigger the loss
you can always add more copper though
Second gripe - Lets dig a hole in the ground and make non biodegradable materials to make a car that is mildly better than the old car that is made from biodegradable minerals
but generally the batteries are close to motor
oh I agree
I think more should be done with hydrogen
personally
Battery to motor = low loss
Power to battery = excessive loss
still a power issue
well they just crank up the volts and lower the amps to reduce loss but yeah
Hydrogen is a logical choice, but no taxable
still an issue
hydrogen is the only renewable material that can replace petrol 1:1 basically
V=I/R means cranking up volts and lowering amps is a cover up, less 'copper' can be used, but it will deteriorate quicker and the same loss is still present, just in slightly different areas
vir isn't a power loss equation lop
lol
Lets lose 5 watts at each transformer to save 5 watts between transformers
Vir is a major part in understanding ir2
And no vir doesn't mean loss, but it undoubtedly means power is power no matter how you modify it, and ir² means each modification is a loss
