As in "a lot".
Modulo the battery (which I mentioned separately), I don't think Model 3 has much more electronics than modern ICE cars in its class. A modern car isn't even a computer on wheels, it's network of many computers, on wheels.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 4y agoI'm aware. Saying a gas vehicle and an electric vehicle have practically the same amount of electronics if you ignore the battery is silly though. I just have to ignore the 1000+ lb battery. > they are the priciest single component of the car. What's the lifespan on that battery?
- Tagbert 4y agoIt is not silly. The recyclability story is different for batteries vs general electronics. Electronics in general are not well recycled. The batteries can be once the programs are setup.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 4y agoThe future programs are what I'm worried about. I worry that it'll in practice just end up being trash barges of e-waste going to China "recyclers". I truly hope they materialize because one way or another gas vehicles are a huge source of pollution we need to deal with.
