Nobody minds people wanting to learn, but that is not you four

Sorry but I would need a synopsis, I am not watching 1 hour 40 minutes.

@Yellowtail, @ExpatOilWorker, @vinny41, @transam Please go troll someplace else.

M3 Performance is looking better, but I would order in black and wrap or repaint and I'd have the wheels to a repair shop and skimmed/refinished to chrome on the rim/raised section. And remove any badges.

Acceleration is not their only trick, there is handling, braking, reliability, total cost of ownership, reduced fuel & maintenance cost, increased driver satisfaction, do you need more? The issue is not just availability of fuel, it's cost of that fuel, it's more expensive than petrol. Another problem is icing up of the filler nozzle delaying unplugging the nozzle by minutes to an hour or more. We have totally different approaches to decorating our cars, I remove most of the manufacturer's badges because I think they are tacky. I think I took 4 off my daughter's MG4 and 2 off my BYD Seal. I also told the dealers NOT to put any dealer stickers on the car and replaced the registration holders for ones without the dealer's name.

The anti-EV amongst us are constantly arguing… This could happen or that could happen or this will happen and that will happen…. The reality is nothing has happened and nothing probably will. All the doom and gloom is nothing more than fantastic imagination.

You do post some nonsense now and again.

And horses pulling carriages go Neigh Neigh (only slightly more obsolete than ICE)

Obviously it will be built by the PM's property development company Sansiri pcl

I was sleeping whilst charging my EV, does that count?

So do you think they would only limit acceleration for EV's Is there any reason why it shouldn't apply to ICE too? How do you think Porsche, Rimac & Lotus would react?

And if you asked the government about alien bananas arriving from Betelgeuse to take over the world they would say Currently we have no plans to apply any changes up to date information on the plans of alien bananas that would result in limiting the acceleration in our cars the earth being invaded however if we were mandated to apply such a change from the Transport safety office disclose such plans in your country then we would have no choice but to apply such a change notify you Get my drift?

That is more possible, a voluntary reduction in output, more likely still a black box analysing driving style I'd be f??kkd

Definitely not. I cannot see Porsche limiting their EV's Taycan & Macan. If you do EV's you HAVE to do ICE, nope, never, not going to happen.

They only take an average of 4 kWhrs of electricity per day which the power grid can EASILY absorb. What the video said is correct in some countries and specifically in some places in countries, those places specifically being high speed charging stations on motorways which do need feeding with a high current supply. That requires local grid changes back to the very high voltage grid. What Sabine said was true but misleading, the whole grid does not need upgrading, only at large supercharger locations.

Having been to Vietnam 4 times in the last 6 months, VinFast has to go, their EV's are horrible.

A chart from Robert Bryce who is funded by big oil Also untrue, see https://www.ey.com/en_us/newsroom/2023/06/ey-research-nearly-half-of-us-car-buyers-intend-to-purchase-an-ev Not going to happen. Do you do it to EV's? if you do then you have to do it to all ICE's ie Porsche, Lambo, Ferrari, Koeniggseg, Spyker etc etc Never in a million years 555

Damn, I thought I could get away with it

Funny you should say that. This was our experience. There are about 70 A/C units in this moo baan. We built all the houses here. We had a single phase supply and about 250m to a small transformer rated at 100 amps per phase. In April 2022 we had the fuse at the transformer blow. PEA came and replaced it. 10 minutes later it blew again, this repeated 4 or 5 times so they came to our moo baan and measured the current draw at each meter. All the meters are outside the moo baan as all cables inside are copper and underground. My house was drawing the most at 56 amps. They came to my house and asked me to use less power, I refused. We went to visit PEA, 3 houses were represented, and ultimately they agreed to bring 3 phase down to the moo baan and moved the houses across all 3 phases. They also promised to upgrade the transformer, they never did that. We still have low voltages but right from the get-go I fitted AVR's in all the houses as part of the build project and they cope admirably.

You're going to have other problems in the future, especially if people build near you and draw power. I would personally go for a whole house AVR. We have bought the LioA AV's from Global House, lots of the 10KVA, one 15KVA and one 20KVA for houses we built on this estate. Excellent quality, never had a problem. I did once buy a different make from Global House because I liked the digital display, complete rubbish, we had to replace it.

Elon's intelligence & critical thinking is his own best asset Elon's complete lack of common sense and craving of an audience kills his businesses.

A lot of the points he is making are patently untrue. Chart 2 has nothing to do with EV's Chart 3 sneakers & politics has nothing to do with EV's Chart 4 www.thezebra.com/resources/research/electric-vehicles-report/ That article states the major obstacle to buyers is cost, exactly what we have seen in Thailand after the government removed tariffs. EY research: Nearly half of US car buyers intend to purchase an EV | EY - US Chart 5 Irrelevant other than to show how successful local government can be in increasing uptake of EV's Chart 6 Complete nonsense, there are 1.5M EV's in California, population owning cars is about 25M, if everybody switched overnight to an EV it would require 35.5 TwHrs more power, not the 130 quoted in the article, calculated on average mileages. Chart 7 Is already out of date as it's 4 years old and talking about NMC batteries which most manufacturers now use very little of, they use LFP batteries. Chart 8 Let's keep politics and Christianity out of it, it's irrelevant Chart 9 & 10 Some of it is true, but it's simply an issue of managing growth and supply chains. I don't understand how this guy can be taken seriously.

Yes I can see the problem. EV sales are accelerating and it's a disaster (for the EV haters). Nothing is going wrong! The customers are joyously happy! They can charge everywhere! They pay 20-25% of the cost for fuel they paid for ICE and some even pay nothing! They have 1% of the moving parts of ICE so need very little servicing! They don't break down! They don't catch fire! They go hundreds of kilometers before needing recharging! Charging only takes the time it takes to have a coffee! They only take an average of 4 kWhrs of electricity per day which the power grid can EASILY absorb. What the video said is correct in some countries and specifically in some places in countries, those places specifically being high speed charging stations on motorways which do need feeding with a high current supply. That requires local grid changes back to the very high voltage grid.

I thought I was probably complimenting them
