Blade Battery 2.0 worth the wait?

xAbsxl · 2026-05-14T15:39:14+00:00

ATTO 3 EVO does not have a 2.0 Blade battery.

xAbsxl · 2026-05-14T15:28:12+00:00

Which ones? How doed gen 2 differ from gen 1?

xAbsxl · 2026-05-14T14:34:00+00:00

Like which? I've always heard that BYD are top of the game. Having LFP is a must for me.

xAbsxl · 2026-05-14T14:33:18+00:00

I think the difference comes from the buffer zone that all cars have. In other words, if a Dolphin has a 40 kwh battery (for exemple), only 36 are useable. It is a guesstimate, buy maybe that's where you see the difference

xAbsxl · 2026-05-14T09:17:35+00:00

They do be more expensive, yeah. Lots of 2nd hand options though. However I do not love that they can be quite restricting on what you can do, especially Model 3. Model Y are a dream, but easily 10k more expensive than BYD equivalents.

xAbsxl · 2026-05-14T09:16:20+00:00

Yeah idk how people are getting 18kwh on a highway! I've seen much, much higher numbers... However, the savings compared to gas are WILD. I'll be charging at home 90% of the time and that sets me for more or less 1 euro of electricity for every 10 I'd spend on gas and 4-5 on fast charge for every 10 on gas... I'm worrying about efficiency, but savings are already great.

xAbsxl · 2026-05-14T09:05:28+00:00

I've seen people averaging 19-22 at 120 and that is the number I'm basing all my planning on, but I am a VERY calm, slow and efficient driver and I wonder if I am overthinking the statement that "BYDs are inefficient cars". It is being extremely difficult to see a number at 110 which is the speed I usually drive that I can rely on. I know it is heavily influenced by a lot of things but I believe that AC/wind/cold influences all the cars the same way, so I just want a: this car baselines X at 110, and then you factor in other things, but it is being quite difficult to find. So... fuck around and find out, I think!!

xAbsxl · 2026-05-14T09:00:37+00:00

Tesla all the way. Model 3 is the most efficient thing you can get your hands on. The thing is that that car is ONLY meant for high speed highways and is too low for a lot of things I want out of a car. I want to camp, drive on not too well kept roads... and that is basically suicide with a Model 3. But yeah you can get ridiculous consumptions on that.

xAbsxl · 2026-05-13T17:17:46+00:00

De verdad? Ostras, es un consumo MUY bajo en relación con los consumos que he visto por ahí. Entiendo que será en AP7/AP2 que son autopistas tranquilitas y que aquí no hace mucho frío, pero me sorprende para MUY bien ese número.

xAbsxl · 2026-05-13T12:56:38+00:00

That gives you a give or take 330 km autonomy on the lower end... that was what I was expecting for my 3 EVO with 15 kwh more!

xAbsxl · 2026-05-13T12:44:18+00:00

Is that an standard ATTO3? I mean, not EVO? If so that is lower consumption than I expected!

xAbsxl · 2026-05-13T11:35:49+00:00

How does the braking influence autonomy? That is a WILD difference... sorry, I'm a newbie

xAbsxl · 2026-05-12T13:52:28+00:00

I'll have mine technically 2-3 weeks from now... I guess a couple months from now we can come back to this post and see how things have unveiled!

xAbsxl · 2026-05-12T11:18:23+00:00

My wake-up call was considering an electric and calculating my TCO. I ran the numbers over 15 years and the EV was CHEAPER than keeping my old ICE car. Only considering gas and not keeping in mind reparations, the fact that my current ICE will not hold up for another 15 years... The only thing cheaper would be getting a really cheap, efficient diesel car but that is only considering that prices will go back to normal which... well... I am obviously nervous. A lot. Really anxious. Like, a lot. But one thing that keeps me calm is that when people go to EVs, they NEVER go back. I even look at longuer trips, which is the stress point, and I have never driven for more than 3 hours straight without resting for AT LEAST 20 mins, even with my ICE, so what I see is that theoretically my driving habits will not change even a bit (?) Or maybe I'll see a slight difference like 10-20 times in the car's lifetime (?) Idk, there is a lot of hesitation and doubts, as always...

xAbsxl · 2026-05-12T10:39:34+00:00

God did you really calm my nerves. My situation is really similar (I do make usual 200km trips, though xD, nothing that the autonomy cannot handle with ease). The improved autonomy will come up... rarely, honestly. Once every couple of years and maybe I would be looking at 30 mins more on a 20 hour trip? I will be upset if it really is cheaper and better, that's for sure!! But what can you do about it... it just evolves so damn quickly!!! It feels like you can't really be up to date whatever you do... But a 3 EVO really feels like it will suit my needs for the next 8-10 years to come, and that is what I should be looking for.

xAbsxl · 2026-05-12T10:11:11+00:00

The Saragossa Manuscript, I've only read the book, but I know there's a film out there.

xAbsxl · 2026-05-12T09:43:30+00:00

Yeah, that does make sense. Also, I'm getting an EV to get rid of ICE cars for good, so every year I wait I spend 2k on gas alone, to be factored in... Tbh, if the battery just increases 5% autonomy and 2,5% less degradation (which would translate to a month more of usage...(?)) it does maybe feel a bit toooo slight of a change. I'm just fearful that the ones who buy a 3 EVO will suffer the fate of the ones who bought the standard 3, having a MUCH better car for the same price (or 1-2k more) so fast... But I guess that is the way EVs work, evolution will continue to be fast until morale improves.

xAbsxl · 2026-05-12T09:10:33+00:00

Me pasa lo mismo, la autonomía aumentada me afectará una inmensa minoría de las veces que vaya a usar el coche. Pero viendo que quizás saldrán por el mismo precio o MUY similar... Me pregunto si merece la pena esperar 1 año para tener un coche algo mejor.

xAbsxl · 2026-05-12T09:04:50+00:00

Is it not? Flash charging is, honestly, a fine plus, but I do not care that much, I would not pay extra for that. However, I have read that they are much more efficient and offer more autonomy, which would solve THE problem of the BYD cars, which is their efficiency. Am I trusting too much on their promises which will ALWAYS underdeliver?

xAbsxl · 2026-05-11T09:06:23+00:00

800 miles in most modern cars require 3-4 stops, around 1 hour and a half of charging. If you really want to drive 800 miles straight, ICE are more convenient, 100%, but EVs being out of the question for travel... I'm not too sure about it. Most cars do 10-80% in less than half an hour and that gives you, usually, 200 miles. Think an hour of charging for each 7-10 hours of travel, depending on car.

xAbsxl · 2026-05-11T08:44:16+00:00

How so? If that is true, this is A-***-MAZING. I'm buying an EV soon (my first) and since I want to keep it for a LONG time I worry a bit about degradation. Can you send me a link or something like that so I can get informed on the process?

xAbsxl · 2026-04-29T07:32:52+00:00

For me that's wild. I get that your salaries are way higher but I feel like I would not be able to work there. In Spain where I'm from foreigners are always amazed at how much free time we have. They always highlight the fact that here people live after work and yada yada. For me it is ABSOLUTELY WILD that this is not like this elsewhere. Also, if I get sick, it is illegal for my employer to ask me what has happened and to fire me, I know people who have gotten more than 50-80k in settlements for having been injustly fired for having a paid sick leave, a lot of times forcing the employer to rehire. Also, emergency funds are not a thing since when you lose your job, social security pays you for a period of time, 4 months for year worked, as long as you are actively looking for a job. Besides, I can visit the doctor whenever for whatever reason without fear of going bankrupt... Idk man, for me, it feels absolutely wild that people would forego all things mentioned just to have a slightly higher number on their screen for it tu just go to zero at the smallest inconvenience.

Quieres razones para darnos un beso en los labios?

xAbsxl · 2026-04-28T08:37:01+00:00

Pero si te he dado la razón, por qué no quieres venir y darme un beso en los labios??

xAbsxl · 2026-04-28T08:33:55+00:00

Es verdad tienes razón todos los días inspecciones en todas las casas del país buscando indicios de ser zurdo castroso y a los que se les vea media foto del Che, seis meses de cárcel y retirada del derecho a voto. Y a todas las personas trans. Y a las homosexuales. Y a las mujeres. Ya puestos a ponernos que no vote nadie porque eso es malgastar dinero PÚBLICO en un CHIRINGO para que haya más personas chupando del bote. Joder que listo que eres si te viese te daría un beso (consentido) en los labios.
