Six drivers report gas tanks suddenly expanding

“I’m just driving on the highway and it was like an explosion in the backseat,” one driver told Action 9.

News like this is not likely to slow down the ICE death spiral.

Do you honestly think that after decades of ICE use, people will suddenly stop driving them for fear of fuel tank explosions? My guess is this would have zero effect on the adoption of EVs

I mean, realistically? That seems intellectually dishonest.

It’s Korean made cars. No surprise.

Wait, how is the stock of Korean car companies performing?

New car sales in the US rose 5% in Q1. Tesla sales were down about 13% compared to Q1 of 2023. Their EV market share slipped 10% to 51%.

I don't know that anyone is taking a victory lap, or should be, at this juncture. It really seems like a not good year all around.

I don't know that those numbers signal death spiral for anyone. If anything this seems like the year of the hybrid, looking at Toyotas sales numbers.

Kablam!
The sound of a robotaxi striking a pedestrian or most anything.
Kablam!
Is the sound a judges gavel makes as a lawsuit is awarded.

Trad...If you weren't so ignorant of EVs you would realize what a complete failure those early EVs were which is why the ICE dominated.
Stop being such an ignoramus!
(Although...I'm on the "ignore list!)

It wasn't until the electric starter and Standard Oil selling standardized gasoline (based on heating oil byproducts, did you know that is the basis for their name?) dirt cheap that the ICE started to take favor.

 

[Grumpycat]

I thought EVs shocked people to death if they got wet?

 

[Grumpycat]

CO2 from tailpipes isn’t being propagandized as contributing to destroying the planet anymore?
Good to know

It is.
By the likes of you.

Fisker Ocean 1's are now being auctioned ?

Reddit commenter has a copy of the ad posted ,

36 were offered with a reserve of 29K with no minimum bids.
The comments stated several were missing grills, which could have been from the 12 volt battery going dead and needing a jump.
