Car guys are more interested in 100 year old technology than brand new electric vehicle technology

no i mean just put four starter motors on four wheels and sit on a big lead acid battery and you have an electric car.

>Tesla is not the only manufacturer of electric cars, so that would only be a problem in Teslas.
All the stuff I said still applies.
>I'm aware of that. That's why you upgrade the battery, or wire it in parallel so each cell only pulls a certain amount of amps. Much like a gas engine swap, you still have problems that need to be taken care of: gas line, intake, exhaust, computer.
These batteries are the whole reason electric cars are even able to compete today. Each one is a fucking marvel thats custom built for this application by professionals. Nobody at home is going to be able to do better. And its not like you can just buy a better one that fits the same form factor as the old one, because energy density is a bitch, and is why we're all not driving EV's right now. Plus even the smaller capacity ones cost more then most cars.
>I would assume the system being modded would also require a system upgrade. I'm thinking an open source raspberry pi computer. Or, if computer savvy, one could mod the existing computer's binary instructions.
Unless your name is John Carmack, thats not going to happen.

It uses literal laptop batteries made by panasonic

>costs quite a bit more then the base
grant/dealer cash
The problem isn't so much range, it's infrastructure. There are batteries capable of 300+miles on a single charge. The afforementioned electric cars have a short range, but I think lack of demand prevents supply of cars with such batteries.

It has the same form factor, but its a hell of a lot better then the 18650 in your laptop.

>he wants someone who blames everyone else for his problems instead of trying to find a solution

carbs suck ass but at least I am getting paid to do it.

>>he wants someone who blames everyone else for his problems instead of trying to find a solution

>he wants someone whose only motivation is to own the one house she can't buy.

Even with the maximum possible tax credit the thing is still 4k over a base model where I live. Also we're extreme jews up here because it only applies to the first 10k applicants, which I think has already passed seeings how the government page has 404'd.

you can't buy windsor castle, but she doesn't want that. you can't buy the vatican, but she doesn't want that.
>but no, you want the guy who literally wants to buy his way into the one house you can't buy

>Each one is a fucking marvel
Lithium ion batteries are not a marble. Changing how the cells are wired is not a marble either.
Sure, they're custom built, but each battery has two terminals and two specifications (amps, volts) .
