It’s Time to Unplug the Hype Over Electric Vehicles

Politicians are just getting ready

20 million gear heads would disagree

20 million gear heads would disagree

They will come to love EVs
Much better acceleration
They will grow tired of getting blown away by an Electric Vehicle

Just no….Vrooom…Vrooom

Brown outs not happing today in California?

They have been happening in California for years.

 

[pknopp]

No I asked did you subsidize the guy next to you hamburger order

No, you said do "we" subsidize his meal. And I answered we did.

How about a 1972 Datsun EV?

Sure he is.

As pointed out above, California already has electric issues. Now in no way do I believe the issues of one state mean much of anything overall BUT one of the states claiming we will end ICE cars in X years is California.

What the leaders of California that want a change to electric needs to do is shut their mouths and put their efforts into upgrading their electrical systems.

Because of Air Pollution, California NEEDS EVs

Tesla added a "ludicrous" mode to one of their electric vehicles. It bypassed the previous limits, in order to achieve maximum acceleration.

Tesla's 'Ludicrous Mode' takes the Model S from 0-60 in 2.8 seconds

The current Lamborghini Huracan Evo and Aventador ranges all have 2.9 second 0-60 mph times

Why you ducking and weaving ...


So you think it won't get worse?

That's great but that isn't what I am discussing.

What happens in California isn't my concern. If they want to address their issues they can do so. If not, not.

No you implied we don't subsidize his choice of hamburger order

The power grid will catch up
Most EVs charge at night when the demand is less

Beef is heavily subsidized
That is why it is cheaper here than in other countries

Stuff starts in California and ends up everywhere

He was implying he orders a hamburger and some other guy ordered a hamburger with just pickles or something

I got to ride in one. It was amazing. Now I like HP but I will get to that later. He got on the car and there was no noise, no fuss. no anything, it just pinned you into your seat. The car remained perfectly level, no wheel spin, no anything. Just amazing speed. It was really cool.

Now I like horsepower. I like the sound, but I also really like the electric cars also.......I don't understand why people get so upset over the choices of others. In 1.5 years my daughter will be out of college and we will look for a new car. Will it be electric? I don't know, it might, it might not. Either way I'll keep my Pontiac.
