The best is when ifailalot is telling everyone how they never drove a performance car.

2 + 2 = 5 is a more logically unassailable argument than preferring some pushrod 2 liter per horsepower lump from the stone age over a twelver from the Scuderia.Not only that even a basic Tesla Model 3 can out accelerate most ICE cars but it can out accelerate them AT ANY SPEED.
Electric motors have infinite torque.
Which muscle car can do 0-60 in 3 seconds? Demon?
You are showing your stupidity and ignorance with every post. Amazing.
Lithium battery tech can only be stretched so far, without increasing the size of the battery.
Like I said, where's the EV to ICE drag strip competitions in Top Fuel/Funny Car races?Not only that even a basic Tesla Model 3 can out accelerate most ICE cars but it can out accelerate them AT ANY SPEED.

Shouldn't they be busting all kinds of records by now?
wrong. people drive the cars and fkn love them. they love not buying gas. they love more reliability through less moving parts.
electric vehicles are the future
a full shift to electric vehicles also fks oil producting nations which I LOVE HARD
all your tantruming and whinging is ridiculous and pathetic
You should tell that to the scientists so they don't waste their time.
In fact they should have just stayed with Acid Led because you can't improve batteries.
You ignorance has no limits.
Actually they are, you just can't be bothered to find out.
Electric bikes and cars have been ruling the Pikes Peak climb, in fact the record holder is an EV.
Cut the record by 3 minutes which is fucking ridicilous.
Let's see a muscle car do it.
Lithium battery tech is far from new.
They've been in use for over 50 years, and commercially available for at least 30 years.
They've come a long way from those days. But what they're doing now, is trying to find the right blend of rare earth materials that get both extended range, quick charging, and charge cycle retention. Lots of different blends being tested, but getting one that meets all those requirements is a daunting task.
Still, battery size will limit size/weight of vehicle, no matter which blend of battery wins outs. Battery powered EV's are just the short term transition to a less toxic overall vehicle, not dependent on rare earth materials that China is cornering the market on. EV's will be slaves to China in 10-15 years, the way China is planning 50-100 years out.
I said Funny Car/Top Fuel. The kings of instant speed/torque, which EV's are held as the gold standard.Actually they are, you just can't be bothered to find out.

Teslas have been spanking ICE cars on drag strips for years. I don't know why anybody would want a funny car.
Why only Funny/Top Fuel cars? Pikes Peak climb is about acceleration out of corners plus much more.
Great. Can we end taxpayer subsidies to the EV and Charging Station industry then?
We're talking torque and 0 to whatever here. EV's are supposed to rule that feature.
It looks like NHRA did start EV events recently.
EV record in Top Fuel rail type dragster is 202.52 mph set in March 2022.
Impressive, but nowhere near the ICE Top Fuel record of 338 mph in 1/4 mile (in 3.623 seconds)
Top speed is not the same as torque.
Comparing dragsters to production cars is pretty ridiculous to start with. Sheesh.
The comparison above is similar rail type dragsters.
1/4 mile races need plenty of torque to win.
Tesla's have outstanding 0-60 performance for a production car. But that kind of driving eats up battery charge quick.
As soon as we end subsidies and tax breaks to the oil industry.
The terrain part makes me laugh too. As if 90% of suburbia takes their pickup truck or SUV anywhere but work, grocery store, and carwash...
#1 fault with the Tesla for me is that it doesn't have enough interior cargo space to haul a bunch of sh!t.
