It sounds like these idiots would have been better off buying a bass boat.
Wow, even Reuters occasionally - like a stopped clock - stumbles on science and engineering truths. I’m surprised the “truth police” has not silenced them.
Good Heavens! They LIED to us! And we like suckers bought it!
Looks like those coal-powered cars are another bad progressive idea. Like the windmills killing whales and birds. The children should not be in charge.
The only way EVs would have ever worked is if the batteries were removable and interchangeable in short periods of time between makes......and that would be having to forget the other dozen or so drawbacks they have.
Those "gains" were fiction from day one.
The world is insane.
Reported by El Reuters?
I may faint.
That said, information is key before making the choice. Battery replacement cost depends on the brand. Mine would be $10K to $12K (without the warranty). But mine's neither a Too Expensive Still Liberals Adore. Nor is it a Government Motors. Nor is it a pickup-truck wannabe. LOL
Governments will still mandate EVs just like Fake COVID vaccine
Electric vehicles never made any sense.
It’s why they never took off, even after they were the first motor vehicles on the market more than 100 years ago. But, like socialism, people who don’t learn from the mistakes in history, are doomed to repeat them.
Tesla might be owned by a good guy, but, Must has to diversify in order to stay relevant, which he has already started doing. Maybe a new Amazon or a new Apple or Microsoft? How ‘bout taking over one of those? Twitter is small potatoes compared to what Musk could do with his money and time and experience and management style.
Are EVs the new Ford Pinto (aka the Cherry Bomb)?
………And the marks AGAINST electric cars keeps climbing.
Sounds like an entrepreneurial opportunity here.
All the public servants in my town have Teslas as their work cars.
they are dark colored and have Police stenciled on the side in such a close shade of that color you have to be in sunlight to see it. (that really should be illegal in and of itself, unless the car is considered unmarked)
they sit and watch mostly for minorities and people driving cars that are worth under $3k and then try to shred their tires as they do full throttle launches pretending they are doing public service.
The dirty little secret is when the batter goes dead you have to throw away the car.
You are driving around in a firebomb.
And probably all of us will have to pay these “extra premiums” even if we have not purchased one of these now obviously pieces of junk.
