I love electric vehicles. But increasingly I feel duped

[Yander]

Anyone breaking into my home better hope I am not there.

You weren't there when I did!

 

[Coffee drinker]

Stop believing all the BS about climate change.

I agree. The One that created the weather also maintains and controls it.

Some real maga types on this thread. Any new conspiracy theories, jackanapes?

I think most of them have proven true already and we're living them. Is there something about the desire to restore the U.S. to it's former glory that makes you uncomfortable?

 

[skipples]

It's more glorious now than it ever was. Ever!
Going back doesn't work.

Are you living in a state that's decriminalized drugs, by chance????

 

[skipples]

Not yet, but working on it. I see you're an undocumented alien.

Not yet, but would be better off if I was, and I'm thinking of converting.

I saw the FDA got slapped for calling Ivermectin horse medicine . They have 20 days to remove data on the web and social media posts propagating that disinformation. Conspiracies.

Conspiracies today, are the facts of tomorrow. Just wait. Remember masks?

Everyone in TX is an alien. Most are undocumented.

I hear that flood was a doozie!

Let it be a warning to you.

I just question why, if a technology is so superior... Why it needs billions in taxpayer subsidies to convince people to buy it, a long with mandates to force manufacturers to build it, and then more mandates to eliminate the competition. . It sounds so, freedomish

And then add to all of that:
Why is most of it made in China?

 

[DarkBlack]

Well “men can have babies” certainly isn’t one of them!

My IPhone…

Our sanity is being tested

 

[tradosaurus]

But is it really your own fuel source?
What happens if you don’t pay your electric bill? Or there’s a long term outage?

Not just you, but anyone else who thinks those outlets will always supply electricity.

I could decide not to pay my electric bill, or have my electric cut off for any number of reasons, but still jump in my ICEV and go gas up.

Same thing that would happen if I don't pay at the pump.

I'm not sure what point you are trying to make unless you associate EV's with the climate change religion?

 

[tradosaurus]

We are working to change that.

Good luck. I've already got my $10K rebate (Fed and state)!

If you need a new car it would be foolish not take advantage of money given to you to buy a car.

 

[Hay Dude]

Yeah, ummmm but there’s a key difference in that you have many “pumps” to choose from, but just one electric source coming into your house.
And that one source can be cut of with the flick of a computer key. And it can be cut off for an ever-increasing number of reasons.
The likelihood of every gas station in your town refusing to sell you gas is about a whopping .000000000000001%.

I'm not sure what point you are trying to make unless you associate EV's with the climate change religion?

The point I’m trying to make is that if you think you are getting your fuel source “from your house”, you are deeply mistaken.

You are getting your fuel source from your electric supplier. And they can shut you off at any time for any reason they feel justified. Maybe they don’t like your views you post on social media? Don’t laugh, banks are already doing it. And they’re in charge of your money.

Feel good about that?
I know my maker wouldn’t approve.
