Breitbart ^ | 31Aug | Pollack

Posted on 09/01/2022 6:27:47 AM PDT by qaz123

California will suffer an energy shortage and “Flex Alerts” through Labor Day due to high temperatures, and residents will be asked to conserve electricity during afternoons and evenings, which means refraining from charging electric vehicles, among other uses.

You must own a battery car and only a battery car but under no circumstances may you charge and drive your battery car.

That makes a hell of a lot of sense.

They’ll be happy when we’re all living in mud huts and are eating bugs and root vegetables.

Until then the beatings will continue.

Nobody saw that coming?
Oh, wait. We did.
We warned about it and we were completely ignored.

Oh...and be sure to mask up! And only “essential” businesses can operate! You penny anti small business owners better board up your shop. And there’s a 9pm curfew! And we’ll be reducing the police force by 50% so you’re safer. Enjoy! You big batch of asswipes!

Hell yeah....fires you can’t put out. Now the most awesomest and progressive place on the planet, that has all the answers is telling EV owners....You’re F**KED.

Maybe TexasGator can come on this forum and tell us about how awesome Tesla chargers are and that they operate at 95%, when there’s electricity flowing, while all the other ones are failing left and right. Great to have that 700hp Tesla in the garage, if you dare, or driveway(safer) and not be able to charge it.

But don’t worry, CornPop and Mayor Pete are going to steal our money and put in charging stations all over the country...oh wait... I wonder what the political leanings are of the folks at the Institute for Energy Research.. https://www.instituteforenergyresearch.org/the-grid/bidens-expensive-carbon-free-plan-is-not-feasible/

Speaking of Tesla

https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2022/08/31/wheres-elon-thousands-of-tesla-service-horror-stories-document-unfixed-cars-dead-mice-in-frunk/

https://nypost.com/2021/07/11/rodents-chow-down-on-teslas-causing-thousands-in-damage/

I would have thought, by now, that the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility, in San Bernadino would be solving all the energy problems.

I guess its better at frying birds in mid-air... https://www.sciencealert.com/this-solar-plant-accidentally-incinerates-up-to-6-000-birds-a-year

And then there’s this poor schlub.... https://auto.hindustantimes.com/auto/electric-vehicles/this-ev-s-battery-is-far-more-expensive-than-the-car-itself-know-why-41661921787245.html .... In the United States, the cost of a battery pack replacement for a Tesla Model 3 can be around $20,000, while an entirely new Model S pack may exceed $30,000

I think the electric vehicle rage will soon be seen as the dumbest and most expensive fad ever to come down the pike.

Technology based upon nothing but fantasy cannot succeed.
