Tesla Model 3: End of the Internal-Combustion Engine?

TWF said:
Yes, most are 3 cylinders small displacement and good on gas. I usually rent diesel one when there.
That cost of electric is on highway superchargers in peak of tourist season.
I was reading that in normal use if they don't charge at home cost is about same.
Point is once if electric car becomes norm it will cost more to drive one. Will it save the world is to be seen.

My dad told me that 3-cylinder engines are inherently unstable:afm199:laughing


My last car was 3-cylinder. Guess which model.
 
Hard to guess when almost all brands have it :)
I had cars with 2 cylinders.

Does anyone remember that thread?



On another topic, Toyota Group is copying Tesla's "Gigacasting" and steering yoke, but Toyota is designing the yoke like Tesla should have.

I would not buy the yoke, but some folks do.

The Tesla yoke was so bad they stopped offering it by default , we know that right

Back to the old steering wheel. Oh it could be they admitted they won’t be ready with full self driving or whatever

I don't know why anyone would remember a Triumph Thread. Triples make no sense. My dad is an engineer and he says they are inherently unbalanced.
