And the tesla goes................shhhhhhhhhhhh!

The study might have neglected the difference between the average urban dweller and the average non-urban dweller.

They combined EVs and hybrids into the same category. I wonder what the numbers look like for them separately.

Plus the environmental destruction, kids doing the lithium mining, air pollution / toxic gasses emitted by EV fires, and ..

Like being an American in London - Look before stepping off the curb.

Once they’ve demonized ICE vehicles to get them off the road, then they’ll demonize the EVs, and so, say goodbye to personal transporation.

Look both ways

That’s not too good, but if it were bicycles, I’d be breaking open beers.

My ‘05 F350 V8 Turbo-Diesel gives people 3 freakin blocks worth of notice that I’m coming...

You will eat bugs and like it. Only the elites will eat steak.

Yeah, but plugging(?) it in makes some smug puke feel good about themselves.

I can’t speak for others here, but in our part of Central Texas, there are a couple of groups who drive EVs. One for the basic, smaller vehicles, and one for the Teslas. Conservative white folks comprise neither. Just saying.

No one needs an assault vehicle!!!

The tyrants want us to use smart cars, smart meters, smart thermostats, digital currency .. so they can turn them off when we have a low social score.

And the difference between the average EV driver and traditional drivers.

EV’s accelerate like crazy, and drivers take full advantage of that. Unfortunately, they don’t always account for pedestrians. Grand Theft Auto mentality, only there’s no “Play Again?” button in the real world.

[dfwgator]

The Indians who live here in Texas love Teslas.

They can just hit a button and stop you if your social credit score drops too low. Better yet, it will simply lock you in and take you to the nearest “education” center.
