[2024-02-25 09:45:50] <armagetronbridge> 08discord:delinquent| Ya, I'm aware of all of these arguments. I'm aware of the academic answers to these questions. They don't solve the *human* factor - which is the unaccountable emotional attachment to the complex and the uncouth. You can build a battery with the energy density of a thousand suns, and it would still fail to answer the *hnnng* factor. With a combustion engine, you can quite literal <clipped message>

[2024-02-25 09:45:51] <armagetron-bridge> 08discord:delinquent| ly feel and hear the work that the engine is doing - and whilst an electric motor isn't completely silent, there's no *throb* to it. Everything you tell me about a battery or a motor is a paper figure, because I hav no way to emotionally evaluate how those figures reflect reality. In short, an electric motor doesn't quite get the heart going as much as the whiney rumble of a supe <clipped message>

[2024-02-25 09:45:53] <armagetron-bridge> 08discord:delinquent| That's why you have people who hate electric cars so much - even though they might not necessarily be able to put into words *why* they don't like them. Give them something that *sounds* and *feels* like a V8, though, and they have no real reason to say no. That's what I'm looking at - will the public, en masse, adopt a new fuel over electric?

[2024-02-25 09:45:55] <armagetron-bridge> 08discord:delinquent| Also, you mentioned sporadic development over a century - yes, true, but so have hydrogen vehicles! In fact, Hydrogen vehicles have a history right back to 1802 (if you talk about hydrogen as a whole) or 1860 (if you talk about hydrogen combustion engines). In fact, there's a whole production vehicle from 2005 - and an entirely bivalent vehicle at that. That vehicle was even sold <clipped message>

[2024-02-25 09:45:57] <armagetron-bridge> 08discord:delinquent| You're right about the extraneous engineering though - although much of it has already been done, changing to a polymer would essentially require a significant proportion of it to be revised. However, I don't think that that is necessarily a limiting factor - we have a degree of the chemical and physical science already available to us, so rather than an entirely new premise, all <clipped message>

[2024-02-25 09:46:00] <armagetron-bridge> 08discord:delinquent| I wouldn't say EVs are worthless, just as an aside. They certainly have *some* utility. This is mroe a question fo attempting to satisfy a part of the market that really doesn't care for them

[2024-02-25 09:48:17] <armagetronbridge> 12discord:zman_0| The only real advantages of ICE cars right now are the higher range on one filling and the speed you can fill your tank with. All of the other stuff people quote, the noise, the way you play with the clutch, how real it feels when you change your own oil, the feeling of moving the shift stick... that's all just mental inertia.

[2024-02-25 09:48:18] <armagetron-bridge> 12discord:zman_0| at if it were the other way round, if we had used EVs for the past hundred years and would need to switch to ICEs now for some reason, people would complain that the trip to the charging station is no longer an event they can enjoy.

[2024-02-25 09:49:56] <armagetronbridge> 12discord:zman_0| I've been using car sharing in the past couple of months, driven both kinds. One thing I assume any car person would love about EVs is their absolute immediate response, from standstil, to pressing the accelerator.

[2024-02-25 09:50:41] <armagetronbridge> 08discord:delinquent| I'm in something of a unique position, though - I'm rather closer than either of you are to the generation that has grown up essentially with both. In fact, that's the generation below mine - and the same attitudes are prevalent in that generation as exist in others. My own brother admires electric vehicles, but would never own one. He's 20.

[2024-02-25 09:51:10] <armagetronbridge> 08discord:delinquent| you *could* make the argument that inertia for both forms of vehicle perhaps exist, though, so perhaps my arguemtn is not as strong as I might think

[2024-02-25 09:52:58] <armagetronbridge> 08discord:delinquent| meh, he could technically lease either or for the same money per month. He's about to go get hsi first car, and I've told him in no uncertain terms that if he goes for a lease I will remove his forequarters, but the money thing is not so much an issue in the age of the subscription (eugh, I feel dirty saying that)

[2024-02-25 10:00:19] <armagetron-bridge> 12discord:zman_0| The rental bikes are just about reasonably nice. They're bulky and heavy only have three gears. I should not complain too much, because I only used the lowest and highest 🙂

If that's what the skateboard like things that only have one wheel in front and in the back that both can rotate are called. Waveboards, I think, is another term. I would never have bought one myself, because they look TERRIFYING. But now that I have one, I am happy as a clam. T <clipped message>

[2024-02-25 22:43:01] <Lucifer_arma> @delinquent: I don't know if I can stress enough that after 4 years of doing custom exhaust in central Texas, I'm well aware of the exact points you're making, as well as reasonably aware of which proportion of the population is going to care as much as you say they will

[2024-02-25 22:43:29] <Lucifer_arma> the single biggest factor slowing EV adoption right now is range anxiety

[2024-02-25 22:43:47] <Lucifer_arma> but EV adoption is still moving at a pretty good clip.

[2024-02-25 22:44:13] <Lucifer_arma> even in central texas, a notoriously fossil fuel dependent place.  I saw a Rivian today, and I see Teslas several times a week.

[2024-02-25 22:45:00] <Lucifer_arma> and a 12 second production car with no emissions is *not* a paper figure.  It's performance that few people outside of hot rodders and race car drivers have ever experienced

[2024-02-25 22:46:00] <Lucifer_arma> I've driven a 12 second car.  It was a camaro, iirc (it was 10 years ago).  I guarantee you that for most people who might think the sound matters, once they see how response and *fast* an EV is, they won't care about the sound anymore

[2024-02-25 22:46:31] <Lucifer_arma> (for non-car enthusiasts, 12 seconds is how fast a car like this can complete the quarter mile race, starting from a standstill, but not including braking, like they do in the UK)

[2024-02-25 22:47:52] <Lucifer_arma> 14 seconds is the quarter mile time at which the local race tracks require roll cages to be installed

[2024-02-25 22:48:15] <Lucifer_arma> it's very rare for an ICE vehicle to be able to hit these kinds of times and still be street legal, but it's pretty easy for an EV to hit them

[2024-02-25 22:51:20] <Lucifer_arma> it's also getting extremely difficult to drive a stick shift and beat an automatic in the race.  Automatics are up to 7-8 gears now, and that computer can make slightly worse decisions much faster than a human and shift faster.
