This is the funniest damn wiki entry I've ever seen.
...different uses of the suffix, such as the merging of "Margaret Thatcher" with "-ussy" to create the portmanteau Thatchussy.[2] Other examples include clussy (clown and pussy) and grussy (Grinch and pussy).[2]: 6 
20 Hit points for a car isn't much if we're going by traditional RPG metrics, but I suppose I'm not sure what the creators were using as a template when they made it.
Depends on how traditional you want to get. The original metric was the number of 14" shells something could survive. Given that, 20 seems pretty good for a car.
I was excited about it as well... in 2021. They're never going to build these and if/when they do, it will bomb hard. It has become way too expensive and there are cheaper real electric cars now. There isn't a market for these overpriced quads anymore. Only ones going to drive these are those with a death wish.
Couple of years ago the use of slang that consisted of making portmanteaus of the word "pussy" (using the suffix "-ussy", also word of the year 2022 IIRC) with other words rose. At first it was mostly for implying said thing was used as a pussy (thrussy: throat pussy, bussy: boy pussy) but then it evolved into a comedic way to refer to "hole of said thing" (chussy: hole in the chest as in pectum excavatum).
In this case, this vehicle is called eBussy because it's a tiny electric bus. But due to the slang, it can also be interpreted as "electronic boy pussy (as in a guy's anus, for gay sex)".
To accelerate a vehicle we need to put kinetic energy into it and Power is the measure of how fast we can do that.
From a technical capability standpoint, torque is a useless measure. With a motor of a given power you can always gear it up or down to whatever torque you need (assuming a lossless transmission system).
If we take two identical trucks with 10k lb trailers on them and one's a 800ft-lb diesel and one's a 300ft-lb gas, both with 400hp, they sould realisticly accelerate and climb a hill at the same rate. The diference is the gas engine will be screaming at 6/7/8000 rpm and guzzling gas. (This also assumes no other factors like heat cone into play, the gas may not be able to maintain as much power due to cooling system designs or other factors).
Torquey-er engines also tend to feel better from a driveability standpoint but that's not representative of capability.
What? Torque tells you what force can be applied at what distance from the center of rotation. Acceleration is a function of mass and force. Of course more torque is going to get you to accelerate faster.
Also wrong. If you compare two otherwise identical vehicles, the one with more power will both accelerate faster and have a higher top speed, assuming it has the gearing to use that power.
Stop getting all your vehicle knowledge from old top gear episodes.

I hate EV torque ratings. They're not even remotely comparable to ICE vehicles.
The power ratings for the eBussy don't adhere to SAE-J2908, btw.

Torque is a stupid, meaningless figure in almost any situation, but particularly in a vehicle where there is a transmission involved.
EasternLettuce@lemm.ee · 26 pts · 2y
Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee · 4 pts · 2y
No, it doesn't. power measures how fast the vehicle will get up to speed, torque is meaningless unless you know the RPM that torque is being made at.
GBU_28@lemm.ee · 25 pts · 2y
Most legitimate torque ratings include at what rpm. Many articles do not include all the details.

Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee · 8 pts · 2y
Remember, power is torque times RPM, which is your accelerating force. It's a functionally useless measurement without RPM.
An engine with half the torque revving twice as fast will make an equal amount of power, and accelerate equally fast.
Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee · 5 pts · 2y
Also wrong. If you compare two otherwise identical vehicles, the one with more power will both accelerate faster and have a higher top speed, assuming it has the gearing to use that power.
