Are you ready to drive an electric vehicle?
Posted by oldskule on 2/2/21 at 11:43 am920
I'M NOT!
I love my 4WD truck.....very dependable, 20+ MPG, SAFE, comfortable, and great resale value! Over 100K miles and ZERO repairs needed! And bought it USED!
GM announced they will NOT be manufacturing fossil fuel vehicles starting 2035....ALL electric!!!
Is this really true, or, are they positioning themselves to get HUGE government subsidies?

I'm pretty sure that makes you either racist or a domestic terrorist.
Just depends on which definition we are allowed to use today

I'll bet you 20 bucks that GM doesn't achieve that goal.

Well, I will drive a Ford then... However, if GM is capable of producing a vehicle that will do what my 2500 does with similar maintenance costs, then I might consider it... Doubt it but I might consider it, five years after such a vehicle has been on the market...

Cybertruck would be pretty cool. But I don't care for having something that I'm dependent on the manufacture for updates or whatever.

I’m looking forward to the public anguish over the environmental trauma caused by mining battery elements.

Ford makes a better truck than GM anyhow.
P.S.
There’s not enough power nationwide for everyone to have an electric vehicle.
By 2035 we should all have fusion driven hovercrafts available.

Do people just sleep for a week, wake up and start posting shite without reading the board.

Well, there is your answer... everyone doesn't need a vehicle to begin with and the government will get to decide who does and who doesn't...

Been driving my '01 Silverado 5.3 since '04. Have replaced alternator twice, water pump once, and a couple starters and relays. Hat to replace a front spring, shocks and rack and pinion plus tie rods and inner and outer joints a few years back.
217k miles and still running 55 pounds oil pressure. Usually have to add about a quart of oil in between changes but that's it.
No, I won't be thrilled to go electric. The monumental inconvenience that all-electric vehicle travel across America will cause, hasn't even been fully realized. I can drive from Oklahoma to Los Angels in 20 hours in my pickup only having to stop for gas. With electric, you get what you get and then have to stop for hours to charge. It'll take me basically two + days to make the same drive.
The logistics of an all-electric semi fleet on our roads and highways is, well, impossible. Those guys can't keep America running when they have to stop every three hours to charge up for 6 hours. The technology just isn't there, and won't be for quite a while.
Electric isn't the answer and it never will be, not in our lifetimes. It's too finite. Continued refinement and modification of combustion engine technology is far more plausible. This "green" bullshite is just another mass gaslighting operation.

By 2035, electric trucks will be more dependable (much less moving parts), much more efficient, much more powerful, much safer, and will have batteries that will have 1000+ mile ranges.
You may have battery stations, where you pull in, some technician slides your battery out, slides a freshly charged one in, and off you go. 5 minutes.
Do you use a computer, or are you still using an old typing machine? (Obviously, you've learned how to navigate the internet, but you get my point.)
