I regularly see Teslas (specifically) accelerating very hard, often uphill, then slamming on their brakes. I am more than likely going at a steady 60 and, despite having rushed past, they are typically at most a couple of vehicles ahead by the next roundabout, junction, whatever. Much non-regen braking must have been required as I can't see even the best regen being able to absorb energy at that rate.
this is how the BBC tweeted this
Agreed, there will always be idiots of course, but that's very untypical of most e-car drivers. Don't forget that until a few months ago the big selling e-cars were the Nissan Leaf and Renault Zoe. Most Tesla drivers are still very new on the scene since the more affordable Model 3 arrived. They'll learn when they see what that does to their range and when the newness of their insane acceleration experience wears off.
Yes - much less busy. And much hillier and windier.
Interesting turn of phrase here in Ireland. Leo ,the Tainiste, or asst. PM and s qualified and currently registered medical practitioner is not calling them booster s but a three jab vaccine and the card I got last week calls a 4 jab a booster
Have a read:
interesting..looks like you could use red to charge it at home "for heating and electricity generation in non-commercial premises "
That is why I though a link was best. But I wouldn't be surprised if something happens to trip you up there.
No.
Well, yes, but even then you're converting circa 70% of the energy in your fuel directly into atmospheric heat and friction instead of kinetic energy. It's much more wasteful than an ev driven hard. If I were in a position in which a car was a discretionary purchase, I'd still swap the ice for something like an old leaf if I could live with 70 mile range
I waited years to 2018 for the third generation 160 mile range Leaf, since I needed to occasionally drive to my brother in Dorset and a sister in Suffolk. Since then that sister moved to Bulgaria and my brother passed away so now I've no need for any sort of long range.
Yes I did a lot of research before buying an ev - the most critical online review one can find of the original leaf with its air cooled battery (most ev's now are liquid cooled) is of one used as a taxi and fast charged four times a day for many years and 120k miles before needing a single £900 battery module..and theres very little else that can go wrong on it
I'd have expected all MPs to know the origin of "tory".
