I don’t understand all the hate that Tesla and electric cars in general are getting. They are fantastic
Now, before you go raging to the comments let me address some of issues I’ve seen people have with electric cars.
1- They don’t make sound
Now I love a good sounding car as much as the next guy, but is it really a valid reason to hate on electric cars? No. Yes V8s, V10s, V12s and rotaries sound amazing but we don’t have the fuel to run them forever and the fact that we are getting car makers like Tesla and Rimac making electric cars fast and exciting is great.
2- Alternate Fuels
I’ve heard people say how hydrogen fuel is much better than electric however there is only one problem, we don’t have a developed and practical and cheap hydrogen car and there is a very good reason for that, you see hydrogen is an incredibly difficult fuel to store and is explosive and it does not have as much energy as petrol which means we would have to use a lot of it. And for now atleast we haven’t really developed a successful hydrogen car and if we do in the future, then for sure it’s a good alternative but for now when our fossil fuel resources are about to run out, electric is the most developed option
3- Generating electricity to run cars causes pollution
This one is perhaps the one that makes the most sense, but here’s thing while yes we should try to have electricity generated in a more environment friendly way and most likely will in the future. It’s still more efficient and better for the environment to use an electric car instead of one powered fossil fuels and there have been some studies to prove it, you honestly don’t think that companies would have spent millions or even billions of dollars in research and development for electric vehicles without actually test whether they are more efficient.
Anyways that’s just my opinion on electric cars, I think they are good and companies like Tesla are making them fast and exciting for us car people and all the hate they are getting is completely unreasonable.
