It’s not against the law to be stupid
We should above all else (politically) encourage the free market. With EV’s or gas cars. With natural gas heat or electric heat. With just about any decision: free market.
“Here is a sampling of news headlines from the last 36 hours:
Fire breaks out in Tesla Megapack unit in Australia during testing.”
7/30/2021!
I like the idea of turning the tables on them, they are trying to make our cars illegal.
What a mind boggling stupid question. I am sure there is a commie trash run country somewhere that would go that route. Why don’t you go find it?
Was it a Tesla charger or an Electric Vehicle charger? Tesla doesn’t make home chargers. There are lots of possibilities including bad wiring and poor Made in China quality.
check the latest statistics on buyer’s remorse of electric vehicles...
No, but they may become uninsurable.
Another option like fake meat ,LOL
Tesla has chargers for their EVs they sell and install. They also have “powerwalls” which are home battery systems sold by their solar panel division.
Correction: Maybe they don’t install them but they sell them and you have to get a local contractor/electrician to do the installation.
“Was it a Tesla charger or an Electric Vehicle charger?”
I wondered that too. A while back I did a search for home chargers and there were lots of no-name (to me) brands but no Tesla.
My auto insurance increased 25% this year on a vehicle one year older, a 2019.
From what I read, it’s because—
-A danger of a main battery fire, so EVs are extremely easy to “total” in a minor crash
-New, and a few years old, ICE vehicles (and EVs) are so packed with electronics, sensors and cameras a minor crash also totals them
-The general increase in the number of uninsured drivers, likely because of the influx of 3rd world people
I drive very little, 4,000 miles in 3 years, zero claims. But I get billed for the general rise in the costs by others.
1) Stop the Dims' push to force or coerce people into EV's.
2) Stop illegal immigration.
3) Stop the state regulations that allow (or perhaps force) car insurers to pass costs from high expense car drivers to low cost car drivers.
I believe that part of the reason that home and auto insurance rates are shooting up is because of EV’s. Although that is not all of it. It does matter.
Perhaps overturning Chevron will help, in some way, to slow the general increase in the costs of insurance.
What happens to all the otherwise serviceable autos with relatively minor damage? Does the insurance company sell them to some intermediary company and they perhaps end up in South America, repaired and driveable, as the mandatory auto laws may be more lax? I can’t see them going into an auto shredder if the ICE engine, drive train and main frame are intact. Could be sold for parts, I guess.
And the tail panels and front panels used to be multiple panels (ding one small piece and you have to replace a small piece). Now, as you can tell if you replaced a headlight, often there's one large piece that represents the everything in the front from left front wheel to right front wheel.
Plus, people are more vain than we used to be. We used to drive cars with some dents. Now even most young poor adults are too good to drive with the kind of dents I drove with when I was young and, therefore, made low income.
All of that costs money.
