Another beautiful city in America being absolutely RUINED by stupid, ignorant liberals.
“Atlas Shrugged” —-read it.
“Atlas Shrugged” —-read it.
Well. That’s where they got it. A philosophy that allows them to be the most be immune from any consequences. Pretty slick.
But the city council members all feel good about themselves.
Mission accomplished.
Seems like a competent machine shop could come up with something.
Any biker knows that Allen Millyard could machine any part they need. The man is a mechanical genius. Look him up on youtube. Absolutely fascinating.
Have they thought of planting them in the ground with one sticking up beside the Interstate and letting people stop and paint graffiti on them like the “Cadillac Ranch” outside Amarillo TX?

They will make up for it in volume.
Asheville has attracted every deviant marxist from all over the country. And none of them will EVER ride the bus. I would laugh but they will most certainly get federal tax dollars to keep the scam alive.
As for these buses, I believe the coachwork is pretty standard - the bankrupt EV company only made batteries and powertrain conversions. Should be an off-the-shelf repair parts type fix. Maybe the repair budget got nuked when they paid for those useless EVs.
Tesla is just another government subsidized scam.
EV is an illusion,a damgerous one.
Until the miracle battery which safely stores as much useful energy as the same weight of liquid hydrocarbons EV is a niche item.
I think the city council is just too damn stupid to reason out how to deal with this.
Seriously, these lib morons really can’t logically reason from A to B. Only how to spend OPM.
Did you know (you have to hunt for it) that there is a VW Beetle ranch out that way also? Next door to the semi collapsed ruins of a restaurant. I can’t recall more.
“Does Tesla and/or Mercedes manufacture EV buses for city transportation?”
Tesla doesn’t. Mercedes now makes one but I don’t know that they did in 2018 when Asheville bought the Proterra vehicles.
Proterra was an American startup that intended to specifically be a bus maker. They had a CEO who had held a senior position at Tesla.
Proterra used a composite material frame and that appears to have been the major point of failure of their design.
Yeah, it did.
“Did you read the article??”
Yes, but obviously too fast. So much writing out there.
We need AI to take a bloated article and give us the text that actually addresses its subject (its headline).
Totally understand 😁
Too bad you can’t dock the people who voted for these stupid things So taxpayers could get a refund.
Or, just replace the idiots that vote for this stuff. And send them an invoice.
Maybe they should replace them with trans.
The peddlers saw gullible target in Asheville for electric buses and....
“She said those buses — a combination of biodiesel and hybrids”
