Can confirm. Looked up the Teslas a little while back - people would be very surprised on their performance. It's not a joke

Because the climate goblin said so.

most of modern society depends on O&G byproducts /petrochemicals in one way or another, there’s no away around that. On top of that, EV and big O&G can and should coexist for the foreseeable future.
plastics and polymers are used for hundreds of individual parts in an electric vehicle. and with the weight of the EV batteries - the more functioning plastic components we can install in an EV, the lighter and more efficient the EV is.
O&G doesn’t just equal gasoline folks.

Are they strictly byproducts, or could more of some of these products be produced if less of a barrel is turned into gasoline? In other words, if all of these byproducts were instead the main product, and whatever is left over from not producing gasoline is now the byproducts, will we be able to use the whole barrel?

reasonable question. one i can’t answer

For what it's worth...
I think the record for distance on a single charge is something like 1200 miles.
Of course you should how fast they went and I'm pretty sure they never broke 20. I'll try to find the article
I was way off except for the speed

The team said they drove without air conditioning at an average speed of just 25mph (40kmph), reaching 670 miles before coming to a stop with 0% charge on the meter.

German did 1700 miles in 24hr with recharges
That charge time is nice but still too long
quote:
The average speed travelled over the entire 24 hour period was almost 116 km/h (72 mph), including recharging stops. The driving stages were conducted at high speeds of averaging around 100 mph (160 km/h) for just under an hour on each circuit. Then the vehicle was topped up by around 52% in around 15-16 minutes on the Ionity charger, to recharge for each subsequent driving session. The record was set despite frequent periods of rain, and headwinds.

No I haven't drove a Tesla. Because they are really expensive. By the time this technology gets down to us and we can afford it, it will be like driving a model T.

The limited knowledge I have of EVs, this is one thing I keep reading about.. Its not so much what's available now, its what's going to be available.
It will be somewhat like the cell phone. There were cell phones then smart phones changed the game.

Where's all this extra electricity going to come from? We can't keep California going in the summer months and look at Texas this past winter.

More than 85% of EV charging happens at home at night. As luck would have it, that's when there is the least demand on the grid. That means pretty much every single car could be replaced with an EV and we wouldn't have to increase our generation capacity at all (we will just use more of the unused capacity at night).

Yes, electricity still causes pollution to make. But it can be made in more remote areas and thus reduce city smog
If every car on earth turned electric tomorrow, the co2 emissions would only decrease by roughly 10-12%

Tesla has good marketing and drivetrain, but their QC needs to come a long way.
Once the novelty wears off people will demand more for the luxury price.
have you ever seen a single tesla TV commercial, radio ad, newspaper article, billboard or anything resembling marketing?
Tesla is all word of mouth... you seem entirely lost on this topic. seems like you just heard buzzwords like drivetrain QC novelty and luxury.

Why do you believe that we should be driving electric vehicles?
But I'll say after driving an EV, generally speaking it's really tough to understand why you'd prefer not to.

Can our electric grid sustain running this country's fleet of vehicles on it? That's all I really care about.
And when it can, how much more are they gonna charge for it cause they have us by the balls? If ICEs ceased to exist tomorrow, all these free charging stations would cost $20/minute
