Remember all the EV reviews and test drives by casuals on Youtube where literally EVERYONE constantly mention acceleration of Teslas and how stupid fast they are and whatnot and they do the same for all EV’s actually? Well, if I drank a shot of vodka every time that happens, I’d displace all water in my body with vodka…
Reason why I’m so annoyed by this otherwise entirely benign thing is because people already accelerate like half dead pensioners at traffic lights with petrol cars because accelerating normally will fuck up your fuel economy so badly. But in EV’s with already rubbish range and greater range anxiety and obsession with ecology and “fuel” economy, who gives a shit if Tesla Model XZ 23 Plaid Ludicrous can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 1,99 seconds when people driving them will drag their stupid ass from traffic lights like they are already dead behind the wheel and only thing driving them is an auto pilot? What’s the point?
It’s just such a dumb thing to talk about when we all damn well know it’ll be used by 0.1% of drivers and serves no purpose. EV car makers should just use the Rolls Royce’s approach and call performance metrics “sufficient”. Coz if EV can drive, that’s already sufficient. It fulfills the performance metrics.
Ok, this has been my Sunday’s shower thought/rant on Tuesday, so have a nice Wednesday and don’t be a pensioner at traffic lights. Please. 🙂
