You didn't get the punchline. What I meant is that I won't stick with electric cars for my entire life.
I'm extremely old fashioned in many ways. Electric motors are for tooth brushes and vacuum cleaners, not cars. Sure, I absolutely love the hilarity surrounding how fast even a basic electric car can get up to speed. But there's no sound, no feeling of something actually doing work, no mechanical engineering that I can stare in awe at. I've never looked at a battery and went "mmm, yes, this is an amazing technology! It takes so much work in designing and manufacturing, I'm just in awe!" Batteries and capacitors have been around for literally thousands of years; the ancient Egyptians used them. So, by using your own logic, you're stuck in the past. Batteries are an ancient power source and should be treated as such. Coal, gas, and oil all the way, baby. It's the holy trinity for a reason.
Whats the longest wait you have had for car parts? I’m at almost 4 months now on some bilstein shocks.
I have to disagree with some of those. First off, I don't get how that means he's stuck in the past. There's more to electric car engines than just batteries. And speaking of sound, companies like Audi is coming up with a remedy for how silent electric car engines are. Also, as awesome as engines powered by gas and oil are, we'll all have to accept that one day we won't have anymore gas and oil to power internal combustion engines, unless we find fossil fuels elsewhere on other planets and moons. But then that would raise the question as to whether or not those fossil fuels would actually be used that way, since you know, world of politics.
Yeah, electrons flow into coils in the AC brushless motor which interacts with the stator through magnetism, spinning it. This spins a gearbox driving the wheels. Overly simplified, hardly complicated, hardly awe inspiring. Stating Iive in the past preferring a couple hundred year old technology to a couple thousand year old technology is what doesn't make sense. That's like preferring typing your engineering essay on a stone tablet and chisel over a laptop. I'd rather listen to a Civic with a fartcan over that. The governments of the world already have a clean burning and completely compatible synthetic petroleum. But being the corrupt governments they are, they hide it in conjunction with the oil companies, then silence those who publicly achnowledge this fuel by arresting them or killing them. It's propaganda and mind control, and it exists.
If that about the government hiding synthetic petroleum is true, they won't be able to hide it when the oil refineries and oil platforms can't drill out petroleum anymore. I have doubts about the Government arresting or killing people for reasons like that. The entire world isn't North Korea, you can't just do that and get away with it with nobody questioning you, at least forever. Someone sooner or later will expose you. I'd guess there hasn't been many cases for a substitute for petroleum, because a substitute other than electricity is either not popular ATM, hasn't been perfected yet, or is still being investigated. I don't know, I'm no expect on that.
Conspiracists called. There's barely much to it compared to a petrol/diesel engine. The Previa has more to it's engine than a typical electric engine.
When the world eventually runs out, the oil companies and governments will simply release it as a "new" finding. Simple as that. You'd be very surprised as to what a government is capable of hiding and for how long they're capable of hiding it. The order gets found out eventually, but it can take years, even decades. All it takes is the government to silence one scientist working on this fuel to silence the other 99. They have families and lives they'd like to keep, why bother risking it all to expose something as powerful as a first world government? It's all a game and we're the pons. Play by the rules, you get to live. You may think I'm crazy, but this is what's actually happening. If the government comes after me, they pay my family off, then deal with me accordingly. I hate living anyway, might as well make it interesting.
I live a life of indifference most of the time. I keep quiet because even I know I've got a couple of screws loose. I'm not actually against electric in cars full stop. I feel that hybrids are a way forward. Porsche, McLaren, and Ferrari all proved that a hybrid can be brutally fast and exciting. BMW proved with the i8 that a turbo 3-pot food blender is more than enough when hooked to an electric motor.
Well robin I just want to say I don't actually think you're crazy crazy, just obviously I disagree with those theories and honestly am not sure how you got there.
Alright, I've finally got enough money to consider buying my first car. I currently live in Bristol, a large city in the UK and I'm preferably looking for a city car with a manual gearbox and a cheap price tag. Any suggestions?
