................. Electric car batteries weigh 1,000 pounds. Those 1,000 pounds replace just 80 pounds of gasoline.”

I thought batteries replaced the engine. Not the fuel.
Electricity replaces the fuel.

I think the Left will try.

But while they're trying; and while they're giving a new round of Stimmy checks, and Reparations checks, and forgiving stew dint LONES...the dollar gonna collapse. Because that's what money-printing DOES to currency.

They won't get far, trying to de-mobilize the nation and force us into battery toys that are useless. They can try to ban gas cars; but even if they manage to grab and destroy most of them...the need remains and the knowledge of how to make them, remains.

Once this demented government falls, people will form little companies to make little cars with little Briggs & Stratton-size engines, as cars.

We start again, only moving faster, because we know what we need to. Only limitation will be capital - since the dollar became toilet paper and banks are gone. So we start from scratch, and hopefully, with a precious-metal-based currency.

No, FedCoin ain't gonna work. Already people know it's just a chit with limits on use. That's not money - it's a limited voucher.

And the Fed won't be there. Most of these highly-paid 80somethings in government won't be there. There will be ruination. Capital and rational government, will be our needs and our shortfalls.

the new Lucid CEO of Lucid elec vehicles ..... says americans have not gone nuts over elec vehicles because they have not driven one.    very quiet.   Americans don't necessarily like...quiet.     you give up something with Quiet.

like my new dishwasher.  SUPER quiet.  I can't hear it run...so right now it seems i'm always checking it.   another thing..too long to dry, things are still wet in it.   i opted for super quiet but i gave other features up.

well..face it.  Nothing is made quality..nothing is made to last.  it's all  pre planned. to break down.

Yeah.

Everything made in Chy Nuh.

EVERY damn bit of clothing or fabric luggage I have, with a zipper...those zippers ALL jam and break. I don't remember that happening EVER when I was a kid. When a zipper failed, usually it was from wear, and the whole thing worn out anyway.

Now they fail right from brand new. I have coats, pants, duffles...all with jamming and/or broken zippers. And you can't just buy one and stitch it in...they're inordinately expensive.

He's hyping his schitte.

Basically, he's a glorified drop-shipper...getting crap made to his specifications in Chy Nuh and then assembling it here (that job will surely go to Chin land, if we don't go to war with them).

He's pushing the crap, partly because he bet wrong, thinking the market was deep...and now he sees that it's tanking. Got to keep thumping the tub, until he can get a government bailout.

And it's not just the startups. FORD bet everything on battery crap, and now Ford is in trouble. It's gonna be the big bankruptcy in THIS round of idiocy.

And Billy Ford, age 67, is finally gonna have to get a real job. He won't control Ford Motor with his Class B stock, which is the only voting stock, and can only be held by blood descendants of Henry Ford. That will all go away with bankruptcy.

Who ever thought Woke would be so hard?

keep your EVs away from salt water.

The top 10 EV models accounted for 37% of the total passenger EV sales in Q1 2023.
Tesla’s Model Y remained the best-selling model globally followed by Tesla’s Model 3 and BYD’s Song.
In Q1 2023, Tesla’s Model Y achieved the notable distinction of becoming the best-selling passenger car model worldwide, surpassing even conventional fuel vehicles.

A 30% gain in a flat market. Amazing.
BYD are the largest EV maker.

Wonder how Toyota are going with their hydrogen car progress.
They will do well I think. Their engineering is very good.

Is our honeymoon with the electric vehicle finally over? A study found that one in five early adopters of EV cars and trucks are returning to gas-powered vehicles. As a result, used EV prices are freefalling.

You just can't get through to them. This, making a stupid purchase and then unloading it at a big cost, is the only way.

The problem is, EVs are a badge of honor. It's a big label that say ***I CARE!!*** It's a self-validating choice...you're smart because you bought an electric car and you bought an electric car because you're smart. And to REALLY be Socially Aware, you have to have GUBBERMINT...FORCE EVERYONE into buying those god-damned things.

You can't talk stupid people out of false narratives like that...they have to learn the hard way.

I wish them lots of garage fires that burn their homes down, and lots of cancelled fire-insurance policies.

The reasons given are interesting and sensible

1/ There is no charger where the owner now lives. The owner moved .

2/ Houses with only 1 car are likely to buy a petrol one. I could well see that. A house with one electric for urban and 1 petrol for touring would be ok.
With just 1 electric, touring could be tricky.

3/ Likewise, it wold be cheaper to run 1 car than 2. So the petrol one is a better choice overall
