Electric vs petrol cars

[Hacky McAxe]

Wow.... I retract my previous post.

Yep. After one month they start to smell a bit too much.

Tats on japanese is as common as westerners. You just will never see them unless you're getting their clothes off.

any proof? Or just another made up fact to suit your woke views? When did you see a substantial sample of Japanese people with their clothes off to know they have tattoos? Have you ever been to Japan? Do they publish this “fact” in the ABS data or did you pluck this from the hot air?

one of your best!

This forum in a nutshell!

so electric cars are no good in the cold or the heat . So unless perfect weather of 22 degrees (rare in Australia) the EV will not deliver its range.. = stranded for many

Yeah, didn't make sense to me either. I know there's many rules surrounding tattoos in Japan.

Had a quick look into the stats. Around 20% of people in Australia have tattoos VS around 1% in Japan.

Tats are only banned in some onsen as @Chris Harding said. In the major cities, common as fleas on a fictional pittie. No one will admit to having tats though in Japan in case grandma finds out - yet in Australia people who don't have tats will still pretend they do. Amazing what people pretend these days.

Now if you are talking irezumi, yeah, no one is getting those unless they joined. If you are talking a little peace symbol etc., kids have been getting them on the sly for years. Parts of Japan also have cultural tats that go back 100's of years.

I tend to have a dim view of self reporting stats at the best of times.

Woke to say someone has a tat? I never thought it was possible to gaslight yourself but here we are today. Well done, you've finally proved me wrong.

trying to deflect from your fake facts?

so you know everyone in Japan has a tattoo under their shirt?

Prove what I actually said, not what you keep making up, wrong. Actual proof and I don't call a shopping trolley of ramen bowls proof.

This, (yet in Australia people who don't have tats will still pretend they do) what a load of crap

I'm in the end process of getting a tattoo burned from my skin.

So in 6 months I'll be a guy who used to have a tattoo! Lol

I'm not going to pretend I've got a tat after having it removed.
That is insane!

Really? So why then are there so many fake tattoo shops across Australia? Dozens of henna shops in Sydney alone. What do you think these are?

Thanks for your contribution.

Looks like our original passing comments might now deserve their own thread.

I agree… maybe the thread can bethe great Australian @Doogie stats on tatoos and other stuff only he would know”. It will be comical to see him in quicksand but instead it will be horseshit he’s sinking in..

By the way @Doogie I have a few tattoos so add them to your set of facts.

He has been outflanked on the EV thread so he jumps ship to his tattoo stats threads no one can prove or disprove

Cannot disprove what I said? Lol.

I've not seen one in all my times walking around but i guess they hide them as you've seen so many and how many customers do you think they get compared to our 26 million population lol

So you walk around memorising shops that you'd probably (possibly?) never visit. Guess its a hobby. 42 places in Sydney per google.

Its like Trump supporters - you say to yourself no one could be that fckng stupid and yet, they are everywhere.

Some of the talking points on EVs sound like the boomers on 2GB.

Im not yet an EV fan but if the below is an indication is a positive step but 10 still years away with real world testing of batteries.

I have had some experience with Lithium batteries ( working with several hundred per year) they do not repond well being knocked about eg 4wdriving, being discharged below 30% then charged on a quick charger they can become erractic with thier discarge during service is compromised. This is a concern re replacement cost. Possibly why is lithium is not choice for future EV. ?

Chinese electric-car specialist Nio has unveiled a new version of its Tesla Model S-sized ET7 sedan which drove for more than 1000km on a single charge – in specific conditions – with the company's CEO behind the wheel.
As reported by Car News China, the new ET7 has been equipped with a 150kWh battery – equivalent to two and a half Tesla Model Y RWDs – now with semi solid-state chemistry, allowing it to have greater energy density than a similarly-sized lithium-ion battery.
Nio has previously claimed the ET7’s 150kWh battery could return a laboratory-tested driving range of more than 1000km on China’s lenient NEDC cycle.

The issue is density and anything using an aqueous cathode anode bridge whether its Lithium, Nickel or some other substrate will always lose out to solid state. Toyota have already built a tech roadmap claiming solid state lithium in production by 2026 with over 800km of driving range. I would assume others have got some cool stuff up their sleeves atm but are wanting to work out when they go all in and terms of knowing pros/cons and maximising competitive advantage.

And this is where the above is just the tip, its generally only going to be from a very corporate perspective that you will hear about what battery development plans are in the works. Anything from trying to get some buzz for locking in future supply contracts or something to offset stakeholder angst about your companies profile in the EV space.
