Then clearly you have me confused with someone else. I never once said EVs couldn't save the consumer money. So I guess take your argument and reply to the appropriate person?

This you?

Yes, and do you understand that our government is a representative republic and therefore, if the majority of the population is for something, it has a higher chance of being implemented.

Or should we just write our congressman so his aid can send back a stock email?

Let's rail against a product because of the actions of government officials.

The manufacturers are lobbying for the government action you loon

Leave these welfare wagons to survive in the free market.

My EV, a BMW IX M60, is fast as frick. I am always ragging it out, because it’s so fast! I can’t imagine my tires will last long.

You realize this is probably from aggressive driving right?

Now, don’t be trying to interject any logic into this discussion!

My truck weighs 9,200 lbs and makes around 1000 ft-lbs of torque and often has heavy shite hooked up to it. I got 70k miles out of my first set of tires and will probably get more out of my current set. Both all terrain tires. Weight and torque can't be the problem.

I dont understand how it's possible to only get 25k miles out of a set of car tires that aren't track tires. My last set of car tires lasted 100k miles and had life left in them. I changed them just because I felt like I should. Do electric cars come with track tires on them or something?

---

The tires are most assuredly softer than what you have on an obvious work truck. But they don't have to be. You can buy any tire you want to, though I stick to XL load-rated tires for my EV. And most people aren't needing tires at 25k miles. I've got a set with nearly that on them now (the OEMs that came with it) that still look brand new. I replaced them all back in November for under $1,000, right around the same cost to replace all the tires on our other two ICE vehicles. And with Michelin CrossClimate 2s. An excellent all-weather handling, and durable tire that you can put on any comparable vehicle.

This whole talking point is one of the dumbest ones so far.

This is now the 2nd time you've said something that I can easily point out in a post, then lie and say you never said that thing.


A poster claimed you don't save with an EV, I replied and said that's not true. You replied quoting me saying that then said some nonsense like "Ah so you're buying into the...nevermind"

But now you're going to backtrack and try to claim that was NOT you saying you thought I was falling for some BS about EVs being cheaper?

It's weak to not stand on the stuff you say. If you say it, own it. Especially when it's still here for anyone to see. Now you're trying to say the exact opposite. That mindset is weak.

Except for this time?

I did.

So I guess you should maybe stop continually saying one thing then claiming you never said that thing?

quote:

---

Nice try, but you are wrong. Go back and reread. You replied to me.

---

It's like you don't even realize the posts are still up. If you're going to lie, at least try to go back and edit your posts saying the thing you pretend you're not saying.

quote:

---

Still have never once said they can't save consumers money.

---

Except for the time you said it that I linked and quoted. It's right there, so weird that you're still denying it...pretty funny.

quote:

---

Keep digging though, I'm sure you will find some way to twist words

---

Or just take your literal words.


So when I responded "no" to the person that said they don't save consumers money and YOU quoted me saying "no" and made your comment, what did you mean by that? Can't wait to see you try to explain this and tell me you didn't mean you disagreed with me.

quote:

---

I'll help you since you clearly have me confused with someone.

---

Are you not able to read, or click on a link? I posted it, it was you. You're really struggling to keep up with facts here.

Anohter poster said tehy're at best a net neutral. I said no, you replied, quoted me saying no and you said "Ah, you buy into it all..
Nevermind, continue on"

Again, tell me how that is you NOT disagreeing with me.

quote:

---

You replied to this comment

---

LOL. Again, no, you are wrong and lying.

Feel free to go back and look at the post. You do realize you can quote just pieces of a post, right? I quoted 1 specific piece about them being net neutral. I replied to that, saying that's not correct. You replied 100% disagreeing.

quote:

---

Now don't cherry pick one line out of a post to try to make your point.

---

You're literally telling me not to use facts and to instead use the shite you're making up in your head that happened that factually did not happen.

Oh look another mouthbreather yelling about EV's.

Ok then, I'll post my comments and your replies. You tell me where I say that EVs are more expensive for the consumer, or where I have lied one time
My initial post

think the reason you get threads like this is not necessarily a hatred of EVs. It's the mandates being proposed by the government, and the hypocrisy of EV proponents when they claim they are saving the environment.

Between tires, batteries, and generating electricity for charging, EVs are at best a net neutral vs ICE vehicles

Which shows how emotional people are that they can't even place their anger at the right place.

lol no. Not even close.

What would you propose they do besides combat groupthink?

Ah, you buy into it all..

Direct facts and data of my own, yes I do buy into that. Crazy thought, I know.

I have literal data I keep that shows I've saved monthly/yearly or whatever by switching 1 of our vehicles to an EV, but tell me more about this data that you're relying on others to give you that make you think it's better than my own.

You cherry picked a sentence at the end of the post ( which I even clarified in a follow up response to another poster well before you entered the thread) and provided no context to the entire beginning of the post.

Here is the clarification post that you obviously missed

No, from an environmental impact

It's pretty simple. Sucks that your reading comprehension is so poor

And finally, you keep saying

That was me saying they are net neutral, in relation to the environmental impact I was talking about in the very same post. I don't know why you keep attributing this post to someone else when you replied to me...
