Have there ever been any based EVs, or are they all cringe?
Model 3 highland performance for the brief window you could get it with the fed $7.5k credit. Great daily handling, weighs as much as a M340i, and were untouchable in the mid 40’s for the performance you were getting. If you were going to be buying a modern automatic performance car, it’s genuinely a decent competitor.Taycan wagon is also legit. Fucking hate how every mouth breathing executive and consumer demands draggy crossovers when the advantages of an EV are tailor made for wagons.
BMW i4Polestar 2That's it.
>>28969297CATL is now producing solid state batteries that have 3x the capacity of current LFP batteries.I'd worry more about the grid being overloaded...solar panels should solve the problem outside of big cities, though.>>28969440not really. a lot of mines are located in mountain regions.
>>28969927>now producing solid state batteries that have 3x the capacityYa sure.And Ft. Knox is full of gold....
>>28969779Yea, Ki/undai had that HVDC converter issues in a lot of their model years, I'm surprised there's no class action lawsuit regarding it. Bolts had the metal powder in electrolyte problem, which led to shorts and uncontained fires. First-gen Porsche/Audi Taycan/e-Trons kill their batteries due to OBC faults. The only brands on the US market without notable big flaws are BMW (from the larger makers), Polestar and Rivian. Tesla are super-common on the 2nd hand market, but they tend to rank low in reliability due to all sorts of assorted hiccups (and they catch fire more often than other electric brands).
As a wise man asked: "What If It Was Purple?"
>>28967310Is this an American thing?
>>28967525Must be. I've never thought of niggers when seeing a purple car here.
>>28967525yeah. american blacks love purple shit
>>28967310Usually I only think this if its something like a charger
accurate?
>>28967690>Porsche, the most reliable German manufacturerPanzer division soldaten would like to word have word with you.
>>28967565Hyundai/Kia belong in F simply due to the Theta engines being unfixable
Based on my own personal experience
>>28968810what country do you live in where you had access to skoda but also pontiac???
>>28967565No, Kia's are dogshit, put them in C or D, Mitsubishi should be in both A and B, depending on the model and year of car, 4wd or truck, the quality varies pretty wildly, but they made a number of vehicles that earned them the badge of the poor mans toyota.
The Top 5 Ugliest Car Designs of All-Time: • Chrysler PT Cruiser • Pontic Aztek • Fiat Multipla• Nissan Cube • $640,000 Ferrari Luce EV
>>28964424I lost all interest in Subaru when this actually released.
Since when is the Ferrari Luce ugly?It's mispriced at best
>>28963922nice ass kek
>>28960825PT, Aztec, Multipla and Cube all tried to be unique but ended up too quirky for the general audience. Luce tries to confrom, but ends up a worse version of a fucking Hyundai. It's different.
the sema Pontiac aztec almost looked ok
Hello, and welcome to 4chan's Weekend Wrenching General. In this thread, you can post your repairs, big or small. Blog posting encouraged. Wrenchlet questions welcomed.
>>28934834Been about a month since I bought this bike, so far had to buy new turn signals, a stator, and r/r. Had it not want to start on me twice with a new battery and once I cracked the crank case open it made a lot of sense as to why the battery kept draining out. Removing the r/r was the biggest pain in the ass cause I had to disconnect the rear shock from the top and move it out of the way just to reach a bolt on the bracket.
Well
I put some flowers in my engine block planter, does that count?

Is it too late for Stellantis to revive the chadmobile known as the Dodge Viper?
>>28969822>>949781857
>>28969822Vipers are manlet cars.I appreciate them, but fuck are they small inside.You have to be sub 5ft10 to fit in one with a helmet on.
>>28969909all of the best race cars are manlet cars and all of the best racing drivers were under 6 feet tall.
There would be no point. They took the FR platform as far as it can go. A "new" Viper could only ever beA) slower than the old oneB) ungodly expensiveC) MRIf they made it slower, cool you just reinvented the challengerIf they made it more expensive, it would just get compared to the ZR1 and GTD and very unlikely be faster than eitherIf they made it MR, it wouldn't be a viper
>>28969822Yes. And that's a good thing. Stellantis can't do anything right. The nu-viper would be an ugly pigfat 6cyl hybrid and every viper fan would wish it had never come to be.
Gas is too expensive, I am getting an EV
>>28969838what are you even talking about, nigger. a tesla did sub 1 minute on tsukuba, which is japan's meme handling track. did it on street tires and without any aero, too.
>>28969861That thing is gutted with extensive suspension mods. I wouldn't use that track as a handling benchmark when it's mostly all straights. No wonder they didn't add any aero.
>>28969777>EVs are enthusiast cars. You probably don't take your car on track and even if you did, it'll be slow as fuck and burn through tires. >>28969861>did it on street tiresYeah and 200 tw semi slicks are street tires too.I, for one, have a daily ev car and a fun gas car to drive on the weekends or to track events. EV cars are genuinely fun to car imo, but don't trick/bait yourself into thinking you're hot shit driving on shitty all seasons and hitting the "twisties"
>>28969777Yeah the Model 3 Performance is fast as fuck
>>28969912*Quick as fuck. Don't get quick and fast mixed up.
why do people buy this gookslop? their cars look as bad as jap brands, have worse performance, and have worse reliability. i just dont get how they even survive vs. their competition which is nippon steel.
>>28968730so is korean gookslop but with more retarded engineering decisions and spotty build qualityput a gun to my head and tell me to choose between american cars and korean cars and i'll just tell you to pull the trigger >>28968740hyundai golden age was 00s where they perfected 1990s mitsubishi tech in a package meant for third world shitholes after that you got engine failures left and right whether you got the v6 or 4cyl or 4cyl turbo>>28969111better financing + warranty styling helps too look at how many roasties paid $5-10k over sticker for palisades tellurides and santa fes
>>28969860>better financing + warrantywarranty is useless and financing lasts longer than the car
>>28969866>warranty is uselessdepends on who you talk toi've heard of satisfied hyundai/kia customers who use it without a issue 5-7 years into the cars ownership which shocked me too
>>28969868>5-7 years into the cars ownership which shocked me tooMan, look at all those korean cars lasting 5 yearsJust kidding
>>28969860yeah i forgot that all of the cheapo brands like gookslop, nissan, etc offer 0% interest deals, toyota/honda does not. although toyota/lexus has been offering their EV loans at 0% interest rate, but who wants those?
I'm 30. Which car would impress my 18 year old girlfriend and friends when I pick her up from school?
>>28969230I feel like you're retarded. Try reading those posts again.My post was in favor of fake badges to impress women.
>>28969234Sorry.
>>28967994if you weren't larping it'd be a 718normies will shit and cum themselves upon seeing your 911.

>>28967773so according to you Ferrari should just stagnate and die?
>>28968852>not buying into the e-shitbox hype (held up by MASSIVE taxpayer money lol) means stagnate and dieare you a downie?
>>28960868>I genuinely like it.samejust not as a ferrari and not for half a millygranted if ferrari made this an NA V12 it wouldnt be getting even half the hate.

I've never been to a car show. Can I bring my girlfriend, or is there too much of a toxic masculinity vibe?
>>28969719Bro really made all this up just to cover for pissing his bed. NGMI.
>>28969720it's ok to be bisexual
A car show, that's normal.An autocross? There will be a whooole lot of orbiters on your wife because there are hours with nothing to do, whether that turns you on or not is up to you.
>>28969581He intentionally sacrificed his ankle to get a quick peak up her skirt. Now that's dedication.
>>28969725No such thing. Once you've been to space, you'll always be a cosmonaut.
