I wasn't aware Tesla made reich-hand drive cars.

Getting on the highway and shifting from third to fourth reich 😎

[-] Quill0@lemmy.digitalfall.net 3 points 4 days ago

I always drive in Maximum Over-Reich to conserve gas

[-] clubb@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

This fucking killed me.

But EVs don't even need more than one gear ratio because of how the motors...

What's that? Musk designed it? Ah sounds about right, carry on

[-] zurohki@aussie.zone 20 points 6 days ago

IIRC there is actually some benefit to having a low gear and a high gear, because the electric motor works at any speed but can't give the best power output if it's too slow or too fast.

Iirc that’s how the porsche taycan works.

Pulled up an article to remind myself: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a28903274/porsche-taycan-transmission/

It’s on the rear axle, and it looks like it can go into neutral for some high efficiency fwd cruising.

[-] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago

That's the gear selector for reverse, drive, hardcore, plaid mode and far right.

Some Tesla's even come with ludicrous mode.

[-] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 days ago

The Porsche Taycan has a 2 speed electric gearbox for better efficiency at freeway/autobahn speeds.

Musk put the drive selector on the cyber truck on the roof so that you gave to heil whenever you put it into drive

1-2-3-putsch

Credit to them it's recycled from a model T

[-] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 6 days ago

Elon personally ensures that each transmission can be shifted without using his hands.

Please stop confusing the buddhist swastika with the N*zi cross, you're just spreading a harmful view of this religion symbol that almost got banned once somewhere in the EU.

[-] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 days ago

Unfortunately the Nazi one is also called a swastika because they appropriated the symbol, and just rotated it 45 degrees.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 4 days ago

The rotation isn't actually a required part. Anyone trying to tell you otherwise is, quite frankly, probably a gaslighting Nazi. You'll find it on various military vehicles in the 90-degree orientation quite a lot. Propaganda use typically has the tilt but, again, not having the tilt doesn't mean it's not Nazi shit.

The symbol was also used well beyond India. They actually co-opted the symbol after its popularity in Europe grew from the discovery of Troy:

There are other reasons of course, but I just think that's kind of neat.

[-] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 days ago

Wow, good to know!

I feel like I've also seen it in Hindu/ Buddhist imagery with the corner upwards as well.

I agree, plus the Nazi version would possibly be easier to shift.
