There's a difference between demand and production. If you think ford is making more MACH E's than any of their other models you are sadly mistaken. Just talking out of my rear end but I've been working in the industry for over a decade. And people BARELY want EVs in the US as a whole. Why do you think ford all but stopped making cars and switched to trucks and SUVs save for the iconic mustang?

I test drove a Mach-E GT a few weeks ago. Really liked it. They let me launch it too which was fun.

Zoomers don't want to learn how to drive and are going to kill the car industry. They are all too busy playing on their Switches.

I'm okay with paying a bit extra at the pump if that is the cost of aiding (for lack of a better term) Ukraine. I like the look of evs but the cost and infrastructure here are not great.

Finally, all the men who "roll coal" in their Ram 3500s with their "REDNEX WITH PAYCHEX" bumper stickers will feel the stinging rapier of late stage capitalism. Tee hee!

We already did this:Allen West posted:People have asked me before is there any area where I could praise President Obama? Certainly, he has an impeccable penchant for understanding the power of the bully pulpit. President Obama is also very adept at promulgating deceptive language masquerading as policy, actually just insidious political gimmickry. This "tax policy" is an example as well as today's speech on his "energy policy" shall be. Here is the bottom line, last night it took 70 dollars to fill the tank of my 2008 H3 Hummer, what is it costing you? What does it cost the President to fill his gas tank? 23 gallon gas tank, 14MPG city.

I saw a man with a MAGA hat roll up to a BP in his Ford Excursion, get out, throw his hat on the ground, pick it back up, and throw it back on the ground again.

While looking for conversions I found some dudes who did an EV conversion by welding an outboard motor then hose-clamping some battery cables to the terminals, loving brilliant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiO1HeeWETo

electric cars are the future and all, but if they don't have autopilot it definitely knocks off futuristic points. i don't care that much about being green; have you seen the doomsday clock? we're screwed and dying off before the halfway point of this century. tesla hates right to repair so i can't trust them fully, ever. we'll never fully go away from fossil fuels because industries that transport goods rely on them. hydrogen cars are doomed to fail and that "gas" is way expensive. those things are just hybrids that use a different form of gas, they need to quit calling them "electric" cars. ~$100 for a tank to go 250 miles? no thanks. i drive a gas hybrid and also have openpilot; I'll never give up my open source autonomous driving system on any future car i have for the next, i dunno, hopeful two cars I'll own in the future before humanity ceases to exist.

It's 3.69 at the gas station I work at, but shiiiit. My co-worker is also flipping out about gas prices in Cali. She gets really hyped up about this gas line that apparently Biden shut off. I guess he needs to turn it back on. Like chill out lady what's complaining to me going to do? Do you want me to call him for you? I'm trying to make these 6 doller sandwiches.

Bizarre that people think in terms of X$ per Y amount as opposed to the actual price; which is ecological disaster whether or not you have ever posessed a car or anything to do with internal combustion engines. but anyway, vroom vroom. eh?

cardedagain posted:electric cars are the future and all, but if they don't have autopilot it definitely knocks off futuristic points. electric cars aren't the future. bicycles and trains are the future. cars in general (whether ice or not) take a gently caress load of resources to build - thousands of pounds of steel and plastic each, to say nothing of the scarce materials like rare earth metals demanded by modern evs - and also even more to maintain with infrastructure. a truly obscene amount of concrete, steel and asphalt to create a hellish, barren landscape when not populated by cars. possibly the worst effect automobiles have on society isn't our grossly inefficient use of resources in building and supporting them, but on our psyche in integrating them into our lives as a mandatory, daily use tool. cars separate us from each other and from nature. between driving on roads in your isolated box where you're free to rage at the other cars rather than seeing them as humans, constructing mcmansions with big driveways and garages and long wide roads to service them (ensuring you never have to come in contact with your neighbours), and designing a form of travel in your life which safely isolates you from nature, automobiles have helped promote a selfish, individualistic mindset of the world. while co2 output is obviously a problem in the modern world (or rather, the imbalance between co2 emissions and sinks on earth), the gas from the exhaust pipe is only one problem of many that cars create, and evs will not solve most of them
