I have got both a corded and cordless Dyson vacuum. For my high pile carpeted floors, I find that the battery powered one just does not have sufficient power even though the brush design is better than the corded one.

In general, I have come to hate battery powered stuff including laptops, power tools and cars because they just dont pack enough raw power for my needs.

Which electric car doesn't pack enough raw power for your needs, and what are your needs if I may ask?

Was able to get a Model S my friend bought in 2021 into limp mode when I took it to track after 3 laps. I believe the battery overheated after the 3rd lap. In the mean time, my STi was driving in circles for the next 20 or so laps.

oh, fair enough then

I was asking because I wondered what sort of use case would electric cars not fulfil properly, and although not perfect they're getting pretty good.

I can live with electric cars struggling on a track, it feels niche enough.
