Electric Ducati For 2020

Discussion in 'Ducati General Discussion' started by Derek, Aug 28, 2018.

  1. Zero tailpipe emissions and we can import all our power from France - that'll surely be cheaper for us and teach those pesky Europeans to suck up our pollution.....
    Did I hear separate tariffs for charging vehicles - or did I just make that up - 'fuel' tax will have to come from somewhere Mr Chancellor
     
  2. Relying on the French ... what could possibly go wrong!

    Chancellor gotta be charging, it what he do.

  3. From what I see of the overwhelming majority of Brits, they could all use a good long walk anyways. Fat fuckers are everywhere. Bet theres a few here too. Me, Im slim, lithe and fabulous. I say no to extra chips.

    Buying leccy from the french wont help either. Most of our losses are transmission losses. It doesnt help if we make our source even further afuckingway will it? Ohms Law. Another one Loz or Noobs cant argue with. Plus french power station labour force will burn coal at french side tunnel entrance and use a big fan to fucking send it over here in any trade dispute. We built 2 great big fucking ducts for em too. What we need is a ruddy great big u bend just in case. But that'll be built in germany and delivered by koreans.

  4. I love the way your mind works, booty. It's like Disneyland with free LSD!

  5. To say 'it works' would be to overstate things somewhat. It functions, despite everything, would be more accurate.

  6. Here, I have a visual representation of your mind's workings:

     
  7. You sure you're British?

    We all ready do, most power companies in the U.K. are owned by the Frenchies and Germans, they supply us on this side of the pond because on their side, they are always on strike

    Agreed, leaving Porn Hub on standby consumes gazillions, I suspect it is during the adverts having to make up for the lack of Danish sperm after brexit, we are getting in training.

    Boots you crazy deluded fool

    I think that was just Macron doing a speech by the coast

    North Koreans have been working in europe for decades, who do you think backfilled in Poland (look it up :D)
     
  8. Id just like to add that when we got bought out by the frogs (10 years ago) the management came to visit....i think the end result of the board meeting was...

    1. Why is there no wine in the boardroom?
    2. They noted that no one was on strike....to which they then deduced that because, no one was on strike the salaries were too high...

    PS ive just fucking rebuilt my hyper so ill be on my even older gas guzzling ozone basher for a while yet...
     
  9. How are Ducati gonna pull our pants down with servicing costs with an electric motor ?

  10. Easy, they will invent a recharging cable that only works with a ducati and charge a hundred and twenty twelve thousand pounds for it.



    Might be a slight exageration as my calculator was on Diane Abbott mode

  11. Easy - Health and Safety and a charge that can kill - no unauthorised fiddling unless fully trained to a new government spec - taking the cover off will cost £500 (they also have to put it back on again) and service intervals will be yearly :)

  12. “Ducati making mechanics out of riders since 1946”...now “Ducati making electricians out of riders since 2020”

  13. No doubt they will use 'Apple' as an example and charge like an angry rhino ..Still as long as they build in a phone and a music player lol
     
  14. Imagine, dyson could be servicing my ducati in the future
     
  15. dirty dyson dirty
     
  16. that picture is bollocks. There is no way that came out of the DDS.
    It's no better than a first year styling student's attempt at a concept sketch.

  17. yup - exactly this.

    Don't lick the orange wire, leave it alone and only registered and authorised service centres will be able to touch it.

    Oh and pray the batteries don't fail otherwise you'll have a lovely doorstop after the warranty and production cycle are over.

    If you wan to make a smug BMW i8 salesman shit himself when he's delivering his sermon to a crowd of customers ask him in this order:
    1) do you own or lease the battery (answer = own)
    2) how much does it cost to replace if it fails (answer = bmw don't know or won't say)
    - he will tell you that it's warrantied for 10 years or 100k miles. so you keep pressing the ok, but what about if I've done 120k or 150k after 3 years and it fails?
    3) What percentage of max capacity is left in the battery at point of sale? (85%)
    4) will they offer a replacement programme when a new generation battery technology comes out if the battery has died? (no)

    he will hate you for it.
