The only possible way for EVs to be based is to have a brushless motor connected directly to the accelerator.
Oh yeah, and to drop the faggy macbook aesthetic

Technically you can't really do that because the initial resistance of a coil is basically zero and only goes up once the field is built up so 100% voltage into an electric motor working against considerable resistance results in a blown fuse or a burning motor.

But yes you could get better response just by tuning the software or changing to an open system.
But it would get boring eventually.

Anon, we're talking about an experience, not the actual technology required to achieve it. A BEV that will let us do what we want. If that can be supplied it's not worth it. Ford did a promotional e-stang where they let Ken Block fuck around in it. That is what we want.

I can go pull some 440 powered rust heap out of a field that will not limit me in any way beyond what it is physically still capable to doing.

The tragedy of the modern car...
Everything is locked down, leaving little room for tinkering.
There was a time when car manufacturers "lost" sources of their motor control software in public places to allow tinkerers to get their hands on it. But this is getting rarer and rarer.
Any questions why cars as a hobby are dying?
>>
>>28844251
One thing I like to add:
In an electric motor the biggest limiting factor is heat. You can overload them for short periods, if you give them time to cool down again.
Most BEVs max power rating is well beyond the sustained power rating of the motors and inverters involved, so they have to limit power output at some point to prevent the coils from melting.

Agter driving an f30 I've come to realise the reason bmw drivers don't use the turn signals is because they work funny. They don't click on or off, they push past a resistance point but stay centered. Guess that's too hard for them to figure out, or they think they are broken.
Can't speak for earlier models though.

you think that's bad, my city has a 12 hour limit on street parking

advantage is that it's only enforced during the week, on major arterial roads, or if someone actively calls bylaw on a specific block. it's a 3 strikes rule rather than a tow, unless you're blocking a driveway. disadvantage is that some people are faggots.

I got dinged once because some cunt was trying to get another cunt's shitbox towed, I assume because they park it for weeks on end, then jump it just to get it to another spot for another several weeks. I think at least five of us on the street got tickets, but it never happened again, so I bet the idiot was one of the other three that got dinged
