Everyone talks about the carbon footprint but does anyone think of the human footprint?

If every car becomes electric what will happen to the all the people across the world, 1st and 3rd world who rely on automotive manufacturing? What of all the jobs in the petroleum sector? Not just drilling and pumping oil, but pipelines, refineries, even distillation plants that refine petroleum.

It looks like that because 60fps.

You absolute retard, the concept car they had on stage didn't have any of those things.

It's a fucking wish list that they'll hopefully have 75% of in 2030 when people start demanding they get their Roadsters

retard he didn't look at them for intelligent opinions
it was to see what normies think

go huff 89 octane somewhere else

Go back to r/teslamotors faggot

I've made 6 cents since the reveal then, yay

Nobody is thinking about the rare earth elements and compounds that go into these either. It's a bigger, brighter, better solution for a world that can not support any more of that. We can't support 7+ billion people living on this planet for more than a century and no amount of current or almost here technology can change that.

The real cars of the future will be fully carbon with a minimum of heavier metals used. They will be very small, you will wear them. The bodies will be sculpted for aero efficiency. They wont be full electric unless battery weights come down or hydrogen storage makes a breakthrough. Musk isn't selling a breakthrough, he is selling a car with polished electric retrofit kit.

I now have a new dream car. I love Tesla.

Me too.

Are you typing this from your iPhone X while sipping organic tea?

Why did the word soyboy seemingly replace cuck overnight?

It sounds so fucking gay and forced holy shit. I'm not a fan of everyone calling each other cucks either but soyboy is unironically the faggiest thing I've ever seen on this website in all these years.

Pickle Rick!

You should see teslas that have been cut down to BIW. They're kinda hack and slash haha.

so why post a corvette then?

I'm just gonna take out my spark plugs and wire my starter motor into a foot pedel switch desu

Humorous that you would omit the 8 other tracks where the Z06 crushed the GTR

Why talk about a 10 year old car
>GT2 RS ?

dude rick and morty XD

No it weighs like 60 billion tons because of batteries.

No, I typed it from my S6, and my favorite beverage is coffee.

>tesla fagboy moving the goalposts

What's BIW?

Does youtube comments affects your taste?

Nobody wants to get yelled at for driving the car they want. The problem is internet echo chambers are allowing vitrol to build like crazy and it spills over into real life, often violently.

Tesla needs to get its fanbase under control, of we're going to see them egging ICE cars and getting praise for it.

>t.Soyboy

>often violently
Wow, didn't realize that it might be that tough where you people live.

You ever see how bad politics are getting, with protests causing serious injury on a regular basis? Since Europe went all "we're going to ban ICE forever!" electric cars are a political issue (and they really didn't have to be).

>You ever see how bad politics are getting, with protests causing serious injury on a regular basis?
No. Where?
>Since Europe went all "we're going to ban ICE forever!"
Europe isn't just France.

I really don't understand why Tesla fans have so much hate for ICE. Like deep-seated rage and boiling hatred for it. It's an old technology.

We all know that electric cars are the future. Autonomous ones too probably.

I drive a Hellcat but I still love Teslas. I have friends with Teslas, and I've written apps for their API. I bought the HC because things like that won't exist much longer, and I know that. The over-the-top theatrical driving experience of an old school muscle car, noise and all. In a few years, I'll enjoy a Tesla. And a while after that, I'll enjoy letting the car commute for me.

Is there any other example of a new technology where the fanbase constantly shit talks the old technology, ad nauseam? When blurays came out you didn't see people saying "HAHAHAH VHS USERS ON SUICIDE WATCH!!!"

I don't get the obsessive childishness of Tesla fans. It's a cool car. It represents the future. We get that. It almost feels like this is a manifestation of the highschool nerd vs jock drama. Sports and muscle cars are the jocks, and Teslas are the nerds. It feels like Tesla fans are the type of folks who never really had anything to get excited about. There was never a car that 'fit' their nerdy personality, so now that there is, they're coming out of the woodwork in droves and wearing the advancements of a car they'll *never* own as a badge of honor.

>a car they'll never own
>"Honey, I took out a second mortgage on our house to buy this car. No, it's ELECTRIC"

>In a few years, I'll enjoy a Tesla. And a while after that, I'll enjoy letting the car commute for me.
Can I fuck your wife for you too?

>Can I fuck your wife for you too?
Yes, and I'll enjoy it.

Pretty sure your waifu wouldn't appreciate that.

Are self driving cars good or bad?

I guess on the upside if every dumb normie gets a self driving car, I don't have to worry about some drunk Stacey swerving into my lane because she was too busy texting and it writing off my pristine shitbox. On the downside, it could mean higher insurance costs for non-driverless cars, or an outright ban on them completely in the name of public safety.

Either way, I bet fully autonomous cars are going to take longer to be accepted than most people think. The problem of liability in the case of an accident isn't a simple one, and I can't see autonomous cars working any time soon in places that have bad weather and poor roads.

Kill yourself boi

They're not going to be able to afford a house either, and they don't marry anymore.

They're good if listening requirements change to reflect what technology is available. As long as we have tiers that keep idiots from driving less safe (but cheaper, lighter, faster, and more efficient) cars, I would welcome them. Unfortunately I guarantee that politicians are just going ban driving outright instead of trusting that a lot of people can actually handle it because they live in a bubble and everyone who talks about it talks about it as if its an inevitability.

>gen 1 roadster
>baisically electric Elise
>gen 2 roadster
>baisically 2-seater model s
I bet it'd handle like their truck does in comparison.

>electric cars are a political issue (and they really didn't have to be).
Citizens don't like their tax dollars thrown around.

Because ICE destroys the Earth moron. That's why Tesla fans (and any rational person with a brain) hate them.

Good goy, here's your 0.05 shekels. Treat yourself to some tasty soy

>Face it. Piston engines are a fad. Steam engines are superior in every way!

I think a custom built chassis will have better driving dynamics than a retro fitted Lotus, although the original roadster is certainly a lot lighter than the Model S or 3.

Body in white or BIW refers to the stage in automobile manufacturing in which a car body's sheet metal components have been welded together

Start thinking about environmentally friendly fuels if you are actually concerned about the environment. But I guess that supporting a trend for a new car industry is more fun. Companies like Tesla are relying on a hype that they are creating themselves. And I don't blame them. They are just taking the opportunity to make money. It's just that the time we are living in is getting annoying. People seem unable to think for themselves.

are you just dumb or brainwashed

>even when being powered by a coal plant, EVs are cleaner than ICE
>EVs can be powered by solar etc; "green fuels" cannot

the long tailpipe argument is literally the dumbest thing ever

Only if the steam engine powers a generator that powers the electric engine.

Your reply makes me think that you just looked at the picture.

A bike will still beat it, especially a non stock bike

> inb4 muh safety

>"start thinking about environmentally friendly fuels"
yeah, I have, and they are stupid. Full electric is the future. None of this fuel cell / synthetic fuel nonsense

Please show me a build that does 0-60 under 2 seconds

You can get a ''greener'' car than any of the brand new ''environmentally friendly'' ones for less than 10k.

that's what you and the rest of the soyim are supposed to feel

>black soot coming from nuclear cooling towers

let me just hook my car up to this NPP while it's going critical aww yeah

People keep forgetting about the environmental damage caused by manufacturing the car, tire usage, etc. Personal motorized vehicle ownership is bad for the environment, full stop, and EVs are a shitty bandaid.

it's going critical?!?!!?!? oh no! that's bad! Shut it down!

it's less bad. Nothing is "good" for the environment. Things can be "better" though, like EVs. The sooner we let the residence time of CO2 start it's 2000year gig without net positive addition of CO2 the better

You and all "MUH ENVIRONMENT" faggots can kill yourselves.

It's just that this solution doesn't support any of the big industries and the big trend isn't actually about thinking for the environment. Unfortunately our society isn't guided by common sense.

You do realize Chevy is shooting for sub 7 times right? They're gonna do it. Maybe not porsche levels because they're not porsche.

>There is only 60fps footage of new tesla vehichles.
You act like 60fps footage is rare on youtube in 2017

Honestly I prefer it. Less biting audibly, but still insulting. Cuck didn't roll off the tongue nearly as smoothly as faggot.

The moon has a shitton of these rare earth elements.

Vehicle emissions are a drop in the bucket of total emissions. I agree electric is better due to clean sources like nuclear being able to recharge it, thus allowing more petroleum to go into plastics etc, but to say internal combustion engines in cars do any significant damage is kinda dumb.

it will when EVs trickle into planes, trains, and most importantly boats. The 10 biggest boats put out as much pollution as like 8 gorillion cars

It can't compete against a miata.

>Nuclear reactors
>Smog
That's not how nuclear reactors work dude

There are extremely efficient clean ways to produce energy right now user. The Pacific Northwest is almost entirely powered on wind/hydro and nuclear is always a choice. Fusion also seems promising and could really propel us to being in a state of true environmental friendliness

>Thinks public sector technologies trickle into commercial industry
Wew lad.
Nothing ever starts out in the public sector and moves to industry. EV has already been tried in industry.

Also there is only an estimated 66,881,809 cubic feet of lithium on the planet. (2,976,240,539lbs or 1,488,120 tons of the stuff)
That's 760 Olympic sized swimming pools for reference.
If you had any idea what kind of battery setup would be required for transatlantic and pacific shipping you'd realize really quickly that is simply an impossibility on a global scale.
Also shipping is making use of essentially waste products.

And the recycling process of lithium is extremely wasteful, in 100 years time we're going to be really hurting for lithium even if its useage is only at todays levels.

>nuclear is always a choice
No, it isn't.

We're already absurdly environmentally friendly you fucking retard.
The North American continent is in better shape than it was when we came here.

stop being retarded

Why not?

>We can't support 7+ billion people living on this planet for more than a century

You have no fucking clue what you're talking about. Malthus had no idea about the advancements in production - we're at what, almost 8 billion and people are STILL BUILDING NEW SETTLEMENTS ON EMPTY ASS LAND. There is a fuckload of land and even in many huge cities there are still single family homes.

There is no issue with overpopulation, that something believed by people who don't have a clue or (more disturbingly) people who have a vested interest in normies being too mad at each other to realize that a tiny minority of people are robbing them blind.

ALL of our problems can be solved by cooperation and efficient application of resources - unfortunately people with the resources have the power and people with power rarely relinquish it willingly.

>The North American continent is in better shape than it was when we came here
Where do you keep your nuclear waste? What about the fracking and oil spills?

Utility scale power is an order of magnitude more environmentally friendly than your internal combustion engine.

For example, combustion engine cars still produce sulfur emissions which cause acid rain. Utility coal hasn't produced sulfur in a decade due to the clean air act and smokestack enhancements.

>>What the fuck is the Internet
>>Aerospace technology of all kinds
>>Nuclear energy

Eat a bag of dicks, Republitard. Yeah, communism and socialism are fucking bad but government enterprise is about pooling the resources of an entire people forward where no obvious profit motive exists.

Maybe if you stop masturbating to conservative memes for a moment to be an actual person you'd realize that there's a middle ground between public and private enterprise.

Maybe all of you fucking bench-racing jack-offs will finally realize that 0-60, Hurdurgring laps, 1/4 times, etc. don't really fucking matter.

You enjoy driving a car because of the way it makes you feel and what it represents. The numbers aren't the end-all and be-all.

>Utility coal hasn't produced sulfur in a decade due to the clean air act and smokestack enhancements.
Government legislation cannot change the fact that coal has sulfur in it. You can say it's not getting into the atmosphere but if you're burning it and dumping it into the air, you sure as fuck are, even if the amount is tiny in comparison to before.

>>What the fuck is the Internet
Was used and developed in industry, learn your history retard.
Not sure if you realize this, but the internet didn't even go mainstream until 10 years ago.
>>Aerospace technology of all kinds
Almost entirely developed in industry for industry.
>>Nuclear energy
I forgot about all those privately owned reactors before the big guys finally caught wind and started building entire plants.

Because people aren't supporting it.

There is a fuckton of lithium and other raw elements in space. By the time we run out down here we'll be mining asteroids for it.

The amount released is negligible, acid rain in towns next to coal plants has stopped altogether. Areas surrounding coal plants are well within the safe limits of sulfur emissions.

As I said, Utility scale is an ORDER OF MAGNITUDE more environmentally friendly than burning fossil fuels in your car. It is vastly cleaner to be running an electric car than a gas guzzler.

In the age of robotics many people will lose their jobs, thats when we as humans have to take a look at humanity. Having a job is just something that we created as humans, its made up just like government. When their are less jobs than people we have to change how we live. Its possible to have a thriving civilization without jobs we just have to do it.

>What of all the jobs in the petroleum sector? Not just drilling and pumping oil, but pipelines, refineries, even distillation plants that refine petroleum.

What about all the people that used to be part of the horse carriage industry? People will find new jobs like always.

>In the age of robotics

We have been living in the age of robotics for well over 50 years.
