Unlike a freight truck, weight doesn't really matter for a consumer BEV, though. Most of them used skateboard configuration which put all those weight beneath the car thus not requiring any additional space . That actually make it safer as the vehicle is a lot harder to tip over.

Sounds like you failed basic since class if you can't even see why too much CO2 is bad for all life on this planet. You probably even believe the Earth is flat too..

If you don't care about pollution, cost and health issue, that is.

@daliborzak2485 That is actually not true. In the US alone, car alone contributed to 29% of all greenhouse emissions and globally that number is closer to 41%. So in other words we can eliminate a large portion of pollutants just by replacing ICEV with EV. While this would mean more power plants will needed to be built, burning fuel at a power plants to produce electricity is actually is less polluting that burning them in the engine of your car. That doesn't account that the grid is getting greener everyday(currently 25%of US electricity comes form renewables like solar and wind, and is still growing) . While the current EV have rather limited range, most entry level EV right now have the minimum range of around 200miles per charge with some (Tesla mainly) pushing over 300miles. Unless one travel more than that distance daily an in one go , they can easily recharge at home if they live in a rural area. Coupled with generators like solar at home, they should have no problems with range.

@JohnsonJLB As former Elon Musk fanboy, I can tell you he deserves all that hate. It is one thing if his opinions affects no one, but his action actually put people in danger and may even cost lives.

@JohnsonJLB Spreading misinformation and lies about Covid 19, accusing an innocent person of heinous crimes against children, mischaracterising the capability of Tesla vehicles, cutting of Starlink access to Ukrainian forces in midst of combat , those type of actions. While Elon Musk have said and does many egregious and even illegal actions , the ones I mentioned here directly endanger lives, I would even say may have taken lives. Are you convinced yet? As I said I used to be an Elon Musk's fanboy. I can plot the time where I used to think he would be a great US President to here now thinking he should not be in any position of power.

@johnz6957 Where did people claim that it isn't? The question here is whether or not it can beat a 911 while towing one in a 1/4 mile drag race.

@JohnsonJLB LOL. My reply to you listing all the dangerous and irresponsible action and may have cost live Elon Musk committed got yeeted . Apparently some of the thing on the list were so dangerous and irresponsible that it triggered the mod algorithm .

@JohnsonJLB If you're for free speech m ten you would dislike Musk. Not only is Elon Musk anti-free speech, he is the epitome of feeling over free speech and facts.

It is based on an old and matured technology with little room to grow: the internal combustion engine.

@REDLINEBECKONZ Well, Tesla are better for the world than a gasoline and diesel car . This is a fact.

The average electric car user spent less time waiting to charge their car than you do fueling yours at the gas station . On top of that they also paid far less for fuel. As for road trips: A Tesla can probably do that same Wisconsin-Miami trip in around 30 hours (including the time to recharge) . How do I come to this conclusion. Well we've seen long range travel by Tesla : for example 1350 mile trip on a Model 3 took 6 charging stop (each stop average around one hour) , it cost them around 58USD in electric (I wonder how much it cost in today's gas price?) to made that trip. It is obvious why EV are better than nay ICE.

@joesikkspac7904 " I can fuel up in about 4 minutes. Nice try." In other words you need to wait 4 minutes to fuel up every few days. An EV owner never need to wait at all because they can refuel at home when they sleep or not using the car (good bye gas stations) . "I can fuel up ANYWHERE. A moronic ev cannot" You can literally charge your EV at any place with a standard home electric plug/connector (albeit at a slower rate) even if you can't find any supercharger. Of course such thing isn't necessary with Tesla due to their supercharger coverage .On top of that they will be paying a lot less than you are paying for gas. Only morons don't know this fact. "My car was $22k new. I bought it used for $10k w/84,000 miles. I've driven 100k miles in 5 years. The most expensive thing I've put on the car is a set of tires for $750. " So? An EV can drive much further and require even less maintenance .For example I can show you one at least one Model 3 (it's 2018 version) that still uses mostly the same components (same brake pad eg) even after 310 thousand miles , the only thing need changing was a drivetrain oil pump (cost 200USD) . I am willing to bet you will be replacing a lot more components (timing belts, brake pads, oil change) for you car after 310,000 miles. "If you were paying attention, only 22 hours were spent driving Florida" Again, even with charging stops , the same trip would only take around 7 hour longer (7 stops, one hour to fully charge at each stops) . Not really that much of a gap. . " one can shut my car off with a mouse-click" Show me one case where that have ever happen with an EV ?

He actually addressed that in this very video .The problems with those is that you need to install additional device to free the hydrogen bonded to them (within in ammonia or metal hydride) , hence why it is impractical for cars.
1
Did you not watch the video? He literally said that other manufacturers do this too, though is they usually were more upfront about it than what Tesla did here.
1
So you're saying we shouldn't' trust Tesla to be honest in the first place too .
1
No, you should watch the video before posting.

Teh Cybertruck have many issues, but it doesn't' have larger carbon footprint compared to an ICE truck, that part is completely false. Tesla vehicles are far better for the environment than their ICE counterparts. As for Sapce X? they aren't even an issue.
1
@mostfrequencies4981 If you want to to say that pointlessly big truck are really bad for the environment , then you are right. However the market for them still exist even if the Cybertruck wasn't invented . It is better to replace them with cleaner alternative such as Cybertruck since we can remove people's want for them . As for Sapce X, you namedropping them make zero sense not only because of their negligible contribution to global warming , but also because this channel it doesn't cover spaceflight or space new.
1
@mostfrequencies4981 Elaborate your point , then.

There will probably be a lot more road worthy 10 years old Tesla in the future than a road worthy 10 year old hydrogen car.

@johnathanvickrey6217 Dude, we have Tesla (Model 3 and Model S) that have travelled over 500, 000 miles and is still in great condition. They are built to last.
1
@johnathanvickrey6217 EV need far less maintenance compared to internal combustion engine car. Pull up any maintenance reports on those cars and you'll see the same thing: requiring far less far less maintenance and costing less . One Canadian Model 3 (it's 2018 version) still uses mostly the same components (same brake pad eg) even after 310 thousand miles , the only thing he changed was a drivetrain oil pump (cost 200USD) . This isn't an outlier as the same story is repeated by pretty much most heavy user of Tesla.
1
@johnathanvickrey6217 YouTube yeeted my post so lest try this again Firstly, We are entitle to our own opinions , what we are not entitled to are our own facts and reality . The reality is it is well known fact that it have been proven that BEV require far less maintenance than any ICEV. Tesla in particular are one of the best in this department , I'll elaborate that later.
1
Secondly, saying that the Engineering Explained is biased because he own a Tesla show that you are not familiar with this channel at all . He have multiple video where he debunks Tesla's claims and heavily criticked Tesla for lying about the capability of their cars (the their 0-60 under 2 seconds claim eg) . Unlike what you claimed of him, what you said here is definitely slander and can easily be proven as false.

@johnathanvickrey6217 Fourthly, You are rights that they are outlier. Most BEV and ICEV are not subjected to as much abuse as those Tesla . Most ICEV would have already ides if they are used that way and subjected to the same maintenance schedule.

@johnathanvickrey6217 Finally, Hydrogen combustion engine combines the worst of hydrogen (storage problem ) and internal combustion engine (terrible efficiency ) and is laughably bad from both engineering and logical standpoint. Hydrogen fuel cell while a lot better the HICEV, still is dead end tech that can't compete with BEV for consumer vehicles . Any company that commits to hydrogen are in danger of bankruptcy in the future .People have been predicting the demise of Tesla for almost a decade, yet todays it is still the leader in EV. I don't see that changing before 2025.

@johnathanvickrey6217 Thirdly, those Tesla that I mentioned are far from being" babied" . The fact that a 2018 Model 3 managed to rake over 300,000 miles in under 3 years showed that it was extensively used ( normal ICEV user need almost 10 years to reach this mileage ) . He was especially rough with the battery where he nearly exhaust them everyday and used supercharger (both extremely discouraged for any BEV) almost every time for convenience ( the Tesla was a work car) . That was why its battery lost 20% capacity after 310,0000 mile where the average for Tesla was just around 10% loss for that same distance . The same goes for all other Tesla with high mileage: they are used for work cars thus were subjected to more rigorous routine, yet they all showed better durability and maintenance report than any equivalents ICEV.
