You're so full of shite your eyes are brown.



I have no intention of ever going electric, but the factory tires on all electric will have the same issue as any factory GM or Ford tire. It is engineered for comfort, quiet, and handling. Puncture resistance and longevity are not their concern.

Nissan had to completely reengineer the mirrors and the wipers on the original LEAF. When there is minimal mechanical noise... Simple wind noise, tire noise, and electric accessories seem deafening

Thanks. I seriously didn't know.

I am 100% serious with this question. What are the benefits of buying a EV? Other than "its good for the environment" which if all of a sudden everyone had EVs would do very little, if nothing at all to fight "climate change". I mentioned this before, but I am going by what I read in Super Freakanomics. Humans only make up 2% of the emissions that are released and in order to have any type of impact on that 2% it would require every country to go completely "green", which isn't happening.

But reasons not to buy a EV
- Have to charge battery for power.

- Because of battery, its not ideal to travel a long distance in an EV (you will have to stop to charge, which takes a lot longer than having to fill up the gas tank).

- Evidently when plugged in vehicle, if it is too cold it can freeze to the car.

- Replacing tires at least once a year, but more than likely at least 2 times a year.

- They are more expensive.

Is this accurate? If so, I just don't get it.
