Demographics. Tesla really isn't targeting the market that
includes many AM listeners. I can't remember the last time I
listened to AM radio in any venue.

Believe it or not, civil defense still exists.

We have a hard time purging things like despotic, dictatorial
crackpots, but otherwise look out for folks pretty well.

If ALL of CD were still in place, THEY would have handled this
pandemic response, and would NOT have called the threat minimal.

And then went golfing.

Cars have to meet part 15 emission standards like any other
device.

But it has nothing to do with the radio they have installed.

Grasping at straws? That is a laugh. Every "radio" in cars these
days are already emissions approved, third party supply chain
acquisistions.

Unlike ICE, electric batteries and motors don't have wear
parts in the electrical path that degrade and generate emissions.

You are mumbling. High wattage brushless motors have age issues
too, and they and their drive circuits experience age related
"additional emissions" in some of those circumstances.

> I guess the FM radio LO might emit a bit.

Yo are way too far in to it. Car radios are already approved third
party devices. Car makers do NOT have to get their car re-evaluated
for rule part 15 compliance every time they choose a new radio. It's
called COTS.

And these days, there is very little part 15 compliance police out
there looking at everything since mothing has been greatly emissive
since they took away the computer case shileding specs years ago.
If a zinged out motherboard can keep it down, the FCC pretty much
presumes everything else can and does as well. So they wait. You
file a complaint on a device, and THEN they go give it a look.
The MAKER has to declare compliance, and *should* actually be
providing it. But not necc so and not always the case, and unless
and until an rf noise emissions complaint would get filed on a
device, they ain't looking any more.

I've never understood why people would hate an entire car company
when they've never owned a product.

Now you are back on track. First ask them how they voted. That
should give you a quick, which side of the bell curve they fall on
feel.

Is it the idea of doing
something that other companies said wasn't practical?

I want Musk to help me buil my city.

Is it the
idea of the cars themselves?

Remember how hated Bill Gates was? Idiots despise successful
business persons. That is one way you can tell without asking them
how they voted. They claim to love America, but hate Americans that
have made it.

Look at all the derision cast upon Bloomberg.

That guy made part of this nation for decades, just like Perot did.

Larkin hates NASA. That is the third method. They claim to be so
intelligent, yet deride known hard science.

Tesla hate just seems so totally
irrational to me.

The guy isn't really even all that eccentric. I like him because
hes MUST have a lot of intelligence. I mean come on, people. The
guy is brilliant.

And a quasar compared to the little brown dwarf that Trump's
"Brilliance level" hovers at. (or is it orange).

That's why I understand Larkin hating them.

I just read this, and look what I already wrote above.

He likely has all three attributes.

Well, I brought this up in a regulatory list and got multiple answers, and a cite:


§15.103 Exempted devices.

The following devices are subject only to the general conditions
of operation in §§15.5 and 15.29 and are exempt from the
specific technical standards and other requirements contained in
this part. The operator of the exempted device shall be required
to stop operating the device upon a finding by the Commission
or its representative that the device is causing harmful
interference. Operation shall not resume until the condition
causing the harmful interference has been corrected. Although
not mandatory, it is strongly recommended that the manufacturer
of an exempted device endeavor to have the device meet the
specific technical standards in this part.

(a) A digital device utilized exclusively in any transportation

There are enough vehicles out there that they were going to cause problems we would be seeing them already. I'm pretty confident the car makers aren't going to ship products that create large amounts of EM. That would result in owners being forced to fix or sell their cars and that would look pretty bad for a car company.

I think car companies will follow the regulations they are
required to, and not extend themselves over those they are not.

And it takes some effort to constrain motor controllers from
making sharp transitions.

That does not equate to radiating EMI. That requires an antenna.

Actually, sharp transitions in current are hard to obtain. Motors have lots of inductance and the DC/DC converter circuits all have lots of inductance. There is a whole sub-field regarding reduction of EMI and there is no reason to think EVs have any problems keeping it under control.

I guess the FM radio LO might emit a bit.

I've never had 100% third degree burns, either. Not that I want either. I do tire of all the fanboi BS about them, and your continuous spam about them. That does more to make me not want something than anything else. Most advertising bores me to tears, especially the 'All of our customers are idiots' style that is so popular today.

No worries, there are lots of other brands you can buy. The
recently-discontinued Chevy Volt, well, they didn't much advertise it at
all.

The 2015 is a pretty good value at just below 15k these days for low
miles examples. Last of the first generation. I like the brown:

I filled the Volt's ~8 gallon tank for just under $10 the other day,
thanks to the low gas prices and a few Shell fuel-rewards points I had
lying around. I think I've put in a full tank of gas maybe three times
since I got it. Should last a while

Well, two friends and I built an electric Miata. We had many issues
with motor controller RFI getting into various A/D's on it.

What was the source of the RFI? Was it RFI or conducted? Did you solve the issues eventually? Do you think a major company can't resolve the issues?

I assume you understand the difference between conducted EMI and radiated RFI.

And off the shelf motor controllers which were well designed and
shielded/clamped.
