Truly a sad day in history
The XBUSSY
Finally, I can have a bussy.
It’s called an XBus now. Yes it’s not better.
But this is actually a pretty cool ev, the bed is swappable.
The day is saved, we found a totally not memable name for our vehicle.
i don’t know what bussy means and at this point I’m to afraid to ask.
i am learning so much today
This is the funniest damn wiki entry I’ve ever seen.
…different uses of the suffix, such as the merging of “Margaret Thatcher” with “-ussy” to create the portmanteau Thatchussy.[2] Other examples include clussy (clown and pussy) and grussy (Grinch and pussy).[2]: 6
Torque is a stupid, meaningless figure in almost any situation, but particularly in a vehicle where there is a transmission involved.
What on earth are you talking about. Torque is a crucial measurement for vehicles, it directly measures their ability to get up to speed and towing/carrying capacity
it directly measures their ability to get up to speed
No, it doesn’t. power measures how fast the vehicle will get up to speed, torque is meaningless unless you know the RPM that torque is being made at.
Most legitimate torque ratings include at what rpm. Many articles do not include all the details.
That’s true, but of course the article doesn’t give an RPM range.
Power is how fast you can go torque is how fast you’ll get there. Obviously you need to know wheel torque and any gear changes along the way but it’s been a go to measurement for over 10 decades. To say it’s a useless measurement is patently absurd
To accelerate a vehicle we need to put kinetic energy into it and Power is the measure of how fast we can do that.
From a technical capability standpoint, torque is a useless measure. With a motor of a given power you can always gear it up or down to whatever torque you need (assuming a lossless transmission system).
If we take two identical trucks with 10k lb trailers on them and one’s a 800ft-lb diesel and one’s a 300ft-lb gas, both with 400hp, they sould realisticly accelerate and climb a hill at the same rate. The diference is the gas engine will be screaming at 6/7/8000 rpm and guzzling gas. (This also assumes no other factors like heat cone into play, the gas may not be able to maintain as much power due to cooling system designs or other factors).
Torquey-er engines also tend to feel better from a driveability standpoint but that’s not representative of capability.
What? Torque tells you what force can be applied at what distance from the center of rotation. Acceleration is a function of mass and force. Of course more torque is going to get you to accelerate faster.
Remember, power is torque times RPM, which is your accelerating force. It’s a functionally useless measurement without RPM.
An engine with half the torque revving twice as fast will make an equal amount of power, and accelerate equally fast.
You’re both completely wrong. The only important measurement of a vehicle is spirit
Don’t forget to check your tires people that’s a lot of torque
Edit: wherever the rubber meets the road
I thought it was style, control, damage and aggression
And here I was thinking HP might be the Hit Points.
Also wrong. If you compare two otherwise identical vehicles, the one with more power will both accelerate faster and have a higher top speed, assuming it has the gearing to use that power.
Stop getting all your vehicle knowledge from old top gear episodes.
I hate EV torque ratings. They’re not even remotely comparable to ICE vehicles.
The power ratings for the eBussu don’t adhere to SAE-J2908, btw.
Please use SAE-J2908.
Where do they even measure this, is it at the wheels?
Exactly my point. You get it.
You measure the bussy.
It’s pretty disgusting that here in 2024 they would still use outdated and inappropriate terms like horsepower and foot-pounds.
For some reason one of my calc classes in college used imperial instead of metric and it really highlighted the absurdity of it
… I want one so badly now
Down bad on the eBussy
Just 20 HP? I need something that is able to survive while I’m farming. At least give us 40 HP.
I think thats room for plenty members of parliament
Don’t worry, older tractors used to have 25Hp. You’ll be fine.
20 Hit points for a car isn’t much if we’re going by traditional RPG metrics, but I suppose I’m not sure what the creators were using as a template when they made it.
Depends on how traditional you want to get. The original metric was the number of 14" shells something could survive. Given that, 20 seems pretty good for a car.
So the average human is, what, 0.05 HP?
It looks like someone crossbred a VW Bus with a panda bear then startled it.
not a single gay or young person on whatever team decided the name lmao
or maybe there were some, giggling in the background
We had a project once called Asset Analytics which the steering team decided to shorten to AssAnal. It lasted a couple of months until it was changed to metrics
I bet a certain Analyst/Therapist was involved in that.
They knew
I can barely imagine how funny that must have been
Some of these names must be handed to the higher-ups with pure malicious intent, I love it
Not malitious - this is a case of chaotic good. If it’s funny and harms noone, roll with it!
Sure, corporations love to run wild and fun with their marketing…
The ones that make memorable marketing do.
- malicious
- no one
Ebussy sounds like a dating or porn service for femboys
Yeah, fuck those imperial units.
Lb-Ft, pfff …
Ich liebe die e-Busse
eBussy hehe sounds like pussy
Gen Z humor…
(B)oy p(ussy)
It’s a gay thing not a Gen Z humour thing
Well, it evolved in Gen Z humor as you had car-ussy and clussy fever.
Sehe auch kein Problem hier. Alle lieben doch Bussis
