    An "automatic transmission" is torque converter based when you are speaking to automotive engineers. You are thinking Automated, which includes CVT and computerized manuals. Very different indeed.

    Ummm, look up how a torque converter works, and maybe you will understand my post. There is no actual connection to the wheels.

    diyelectriccar.com has tons of conversion. Something like 16k members too. My motor was a forklift motor in its past life, and was rebuilt. I got it for 100$ shipped. The batteries i used were lead acid deep cycles, from walmart! They can deliver 1200 amps for short bursts without issues. LiFePO4 is the way to go if you are willing to spend the money. They last 5x as long, and can deliver much better range (again, 5x easy).

    My commuter sure isn't slow. lol. My mother's commute is 5 miles, round trip. Her subaru gets 18mpg, because it never warms up. She's on the list to buy one of my EV's, because gas is just pointless for her commute. If she needs to make a big trip, owning an EV and renting a trip car is cheaper than owning a gasser as is.

    Heating the cabin is a concern, but not as much as implied above. Once the cabin is warm, a mere 200 watts can keep it toasty.

    More than 90% of the American Public should own an electric car. Charge it every night like a cell phone. Drive a gasser on the long trips, and save huge amounts of money and the environment the other days. The only issue with Tesla is the absurd price. And if you were worthy to ride in a Tesla, you would take that "gutless" comment back. My homebuilt EV will embarrass a 2014 Shelby GT500 in the 1/4 mile. My 204ft/lbs isn't a lot of torque in a gas car. But when your power band is 0-10000rpm, no gear shifting, it makes for one fast car.

    As an EV builder, i can assure you, the weather really doesn't effect it. In the brutal, -10F weather, i only see a 10% drop in range...with lead acid batteries. 3% with LiFePO4. The simple fact is that the first article was a complete fabrication designed to hurt the image of the electric car.

    The only board i have ever had G.Skill not work on is Intel. Their hardware is certainly not worth the price premium. They are like BMW's. Not ever remotely worth the price.

    If money was involved, i sure wouldn't trust Intel with it. Infact, as a non-basement-dwelling engineer who just shipped a truck load of Dual 12core Opteron servers, I'll take anything over Intel.

    Agreed. I've had a brand new system that i just built not boot due to incompatible RAM. It meets all the specs, exceeds some of them, but no good in an Intel board. Drop it in an MSI, works great for years. G.Skill told me it's because they wouldn't pay to be "I7 Certified".

  20. Re:Overpriced on Intel Leaving Desktop Motherboard Business · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I have to disagree. Years of using MSI and ASUS has shown great reliability and performance. Every Intel board i have had were total junk. Short lived, cheaply built. Of course, it might have been the processors terrible form factors. Every MSI and ASUS i ever had was AMD powered, and far superior to that LGA crap simply because it had pins and wasn't completely disabled by a little vibration. With my years of experience in the field, i just have to say, i will never buy anything with the Intel badge again.
