I’m not a 100%, but my understanding is that every 50K miles you have to buy a new battery pack for the car at $10K a pop.

You’ll buy one because your females wants you to and then she’ll think your a wimp. I bet Chad drives an F150.

The two mile long hill on the main county road at the end of my driveway has a 9% grade which has led to loss of a number of large trucks which lose their brakes ending up lying in the ditch.
I can imagine the day when I see my first self-driving or electric car spinning along the snow covered shoulder as it tries to navigate the hill. Those electric cars with those little wheels would never make it.
This morning we had a few inches of snow and even after one pass by the plow I still would’t try the hill without 4WD. Once the salt starts to work, a front when drive will be just fine. In the winter around here the terrain and driving conditions are such that a rear wheel drive or smaller wheeled electric style vehicle would be difficult to rely upon..

The old saw about the extension cord still applies. How many charging stations are in your area?

Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?

Most electric cars are actually coal powered. Very inefficiently coal powered. They would produce fewer CO2 emissions and other pollutants per mile if they just burned the coal themselves in steam engines.

The F150 is a Wife Truck, especially if it’s a four door short box.

I’m pretty sure Chad drives a lifted four cylinder two wheel drive nissan frontier, but with a 4WD sticker on the back. Chicks dig 4WD stickers.

I love those charging stations. Only an asshole would park in a handicapped spot, but those charging stations are just as conveniently located. And they’re always open because people buy electric cars to feel smug, not for driving. They all still drive their other car – the gas burner.

So all you need is a short dummy cord to run from your vehicle to the charging station and convenient free parking is always available.

Hybrid cars actually make some sense, not because they run on batteries, but because of the fly wheel. My understanding is, energy lost in braking is recovered and stored in the battery.

I haven’t paid attention in a while, but the concerns I had where regarding replacement and disposable of the battery. Also, if you ever were trapped in your car, rescue personnel would be hesitant to pull you out for fear of getting electrocuted. A normal car would have the battery in the front, with low voltage lines elsewhere. A hybrid, electric has it all over the place.

@sidecar, where I’m at, the wife drives an oversized SUV. Dad will drive the F150. And yes, Chad has his 4 wheel truck or jeep. Muscle cars are now for fat chicks.

Ok. Then do it.

What’s this? >>>> thup,,,,,,,,, thup thup,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, thup thup.

Answer: A tractor trailer combo running over one of these battery powered s~~~ boxes…… The first “thup” has a “squish” sound at the same time!

P.S. A landwhale in a muscle car destroys the driver’s seat and kills all the muscle! The same thing they do to men!

Damn. They somehow managed to make a reverse trike lame.

Also that woman should be wearing a helmet, because in most jurisdictions that’s a motorcycle, not a car. A sad, sad, pathetic, three wheeled motorcycle.

Now THIS is how you do an electric motorcycle:

You can even put a sidecar with a biodiesel powered generator on it.

I don’t get it. People are ranting about yesterdays lunchboxes on wheels, while Elon Musk has released a car that looks like a car. The competition will result in better and cheaper electric cars. This is old news, so please…..
