Gas cars go up in flames on their own all the time. There's about 100k car fires per year in the US and that number hasn't really changed since EVs started ramping up.
Teslas burn pretty often because they're built like absolute fucking garbage, same as any other major American brand, not because they're an EV. Accordingly, they also depreciate like milk in the summer sun, like every other American brand.

EV traction batteries are serious. I'd give one more respect than 480 AC. For one, it's DC. There's a reason why DC contactors and fuses have to be built like brick shithouses compared to AC of the same current rating. 400V+ isn't uncommon these days either. In a year or two the good ones will be 800V+ because that lets you do things like DC fast charge 100 miles in 20 minutes. If you open a pack, you're exposing yourself to a transmission line amounts of danger.

>>57552546
They definitely do go up randomly on their own sometimes but yes most are during or just after use. Some shit rattles loose and puts fuel near electrics or hot bits, which all gas cars have. Sometimes it's bad maintenance, sometimes it's a manufacturing defect or design flaw. Toyota just recently recalled almost a couple million RAV4s over fire risk. The cause? The fucking 12V battery every car has lmao. Mount was bad so it can shake loose and rub the positive terminal around places it doesn't belong. Per the NHTSA:
>most of the fires occurred while driving, but four complaints indicate RAV4 fires occurred with the ignitions off.
There were 11 complaints in total, so 36% happened while the car was parked and seemingly inactive. Just one of many instances of a fire risk recall. Usually manufacturers aren't as good about fixing the problem. Ford recalled all their 2.5L hybrid powertrain cars twice now after dragging their feet, not solving the problem, then dragging their feet again. Oh it's just the hybrids? So it must be a traction battery problem? Nope. The engine will sometimes just leak fuel vapor onto the hot exhaust for fun. Fires can start during operation or for a bit after parking and turning the engine off. That's not an uncommon theme with car fires. You park, shut off the ignition, and walk away. A few minutes later the car is a fireball from a small leak in the engine compartment stagnating with the still hot exhaust.

EVs were abandoned 120 years ago because we didn't have a means for delivering cheap electricity to practically every person on the planet.
And battery technology was utter horseshit.

It's a little bit different today.
In case you didn't already notice, you have access to electricity, and you use batteries all the goddamn time.

I just looked up some Teslas that were in an accident, you can get a wrecked Tesla for about 5 grand. My theory of its value depreciating as extremely as it does once it crashes holds up, I shitposted a while back saying that Teslas have no value in a scrapyard as its components are mostly made out of things that are not metal and instead are made out of other materials that have no value other than when it is perfectly assembled and functioning. The fact that it goes down in value as greatly as it does is testament to the fact that a Tesla's value is not only just based on the fact that it is in perfect condition, but also related to the value people attach to the brand name. Something that in the past was not even conceived of. Teslas are literally toys for adults.

It's a miracle they're even able to do that. Makes me wonder of what happens to the value of it once repaired, if it goes up, or the entire premium that covers the car is completely gone once it crashes once. Either way, the fact that it's a vehicle so complex and lodged in technology, its main selling point is being a fully functional piece of computer on four wheels, and as that, it becomes disposable to an extent that shouldn't even have been possible. I doubt you'd be able to recover its value once it has crashed once and been fixed up like any other automobile, its worth by being used alone while still completely functional decreases insanely much, I can't even imagine how much the value would plummet if it crashed and was fixed again. US and Euro markets would equate it to scrap, maybe in other countries it could retain some of its value.

just like you'll never enjoy the joy of smelling the smell of gasoline or feeling the feeling of knowing you can easily with ease drive across cross country routes. I have felt the feeling of accelerating 0 to 60 in a tesla. I've also felt the feeling of owning a range rover sport. Then I aged past the age of 25 and realized the realization that people who care about cars are fucking faggots.

If you have a working automobile, that's literally all that matters. I drive a Volvo now and it is a great balance of adequate luxury with minimal maintenance that isn't terribly expensive when required. Very few intelligent people I know buy overly expensive cars (unless it is for their shitty wives). Not because they can't afford to but because they aren't childish faggots.

Teslas were only desirable when they were the only decent option for an electric car. They were leagues ahead of the rest of the other car manufacturers for years. But times change and now all of them have attractive EV offerings. Some a lot more attractive. Tesla are still a unique company in terms of what they offer (powerwall, superchargers, etc) but when it comes to cars they aren't special in the least any more.

Cyberpunk reality gonna be bonkers.
I forsee once everyone has a BCI that the majority of humanity will just live their entire life homeless on the street visiting the global virtual brothel that is porn.
like 70% of humanity will be homeless cyborgs fucking in virtual reality 24/7.
Cyber rape is gonna be crazy.
You can fucking virtually rape anyone in their brain over the internet anywhere on Earth and the proxy TOR shit will make catching people very difficult.
Like the world will be defined by cyber rape.

There's a limited space where you can build, it's not because it isn't fully build up in the USA that it matters. Look at The Netherlands for example, house prices will always go up

Yes, because they're too expensive. They're great, I've driven everything from bargain bin chinese electric vans, to the Tesla Y, and I love driving them. But that doesn't mean I can justify the cost of buying and insuring one. I can buy a brand new ICE car for £13k and it will cost me pennies to insure & run. The absolute cheapest electric car you can get is around double that price to buy and at least double the price to insure, plus here in the UK electricity costs aren't that far off petrol. It just does not make any financial sense at all to buy an electric car over an ICE car. And don't even get me started on maintenance & repair costs.

In order for me to buy a brand new tesla instead of a brand new Honda that costs $25k, the tesla would have to cost $9,000.
I am not joking at all. I would not pay the same price for thr tesla even though thr tesla is """"valued"""" at some 60 or 70k or whatever thr fuck they cost.
If the tesla cost 10k, then I would still rather pay 15k more for the Honda.

>miniature nuclear reactors in our cars
/thread

Nuclear cars are the future, radioactivity is a very natural thing that is extremely easy to detect and cleanup. Easier then most toxic chemicals. People should stop paranoiding about that

[Anonymous No.57562876]

>>57551921
80% or more of electricity is generated by fossil fuels. The lithium plants are some of the worst places in the world as far as toxicity goes. For miles around the plants everything is dead.
EV cars could be great but only in the next 100 years when the electrical grid can handle them, 80% or more of our energy comes from renewable sources and something better and less deadly than lithium comes along.
They're a great idea but we lack the ability to implement that idea to it's fullest so as of now we're pissing in the wind.

sad thing is there's really no such thing as a new car. every car has some mileage or use to it for moving and testing purposes. it's a literal scam. they spray a bottle of new car smell in it and sell it as that scam. guaranteed some dealer likely farted in your new car a few times before he sold it to you. that's why it takes so long to get it out of the dealership lot

combustible cars have depreciation too not so fucked like a EV but still, also the reason of the depreciation is because the lithium batteries start to degrading and must be replaced wich cost alot of money, i hope the sodium batteries maybe can solve some problems because seems gonna be more cheap and reliables

It was -25f outside and I believe some old wiring got frayed and brittle and caused a fire that then hit the fuel lines. Talked to a guy who kind of specializes in these cars and he says he's seen it happen a few times.

Gas cars burn up too but electric cars are just gay. Electric make a whiny little wheezing noise when they accelerate and take forever to charge. They're probably good for people who never leave the city but for long trips they're a major inconvenience and a meme.
