Why did they tell anyone?

 

[rightwinger]

“The 6,700-mile scenic route, much of which took place along the southern edge of the lower 48 states, took 18 days.”

Direct shot across the US is 2500 miles
They took the scenic route

Electric cars are the future. All your bitching and moaning will not stop the inevitable.

Yep, and Ford and GM are already headed fast in that direction.

Where's all the electricity going to come from to charge so many of these overrated cars? And mining is a very dirty business; the rare earth minerals needed for these electric vehicles must be mined.

The CCP loves it though as China has a dominant market share of rare earth minerals.

Then what to do with all the huge, worn-out battery packs. Ship them to the third world to be forgotten about?

I just spent 12 hours driving from Virginia to New Orleans today. About 40% of a cross country drive.

Coal and oil.

Electric cars have been around since 1888.

It still beat this:

The horse is analogous to the fossil fuel cars of today, Like the horse they will be around for years to come on our streets and byways, but one day they will simply be gone.

Disagree. We’re struggling to put men in space, we can’t fix pot holes, electricity shuts off randomly in the west and drinking water is scarce in the west.

They did not end the journey in San Francisco? Are they afraid of a little shit on their shoes?
