Electric Vehicles

Looked into getting a Tesla and our power company said the TVA grid can’t sustain more than 2 EVa on a street. This is their plan to shut the grid down and take control

Member these?



You'd be hard pressed to find one. Just a few years ago, they were trying to get every household to install these things. Then along came the led bulb. They don't last no where near as long as advertised and they fricking break too often. Give me the tried and true incandescent bulb. Pretty cheap and has a reasonable life span.

The point is, no one knows what tomorrow holds. Especially when we got these cock sucking "save the planet" politicians trying to steer the future of industry.

This isn't true, zero chance.

EV’s are not the answer and I’m a huge supporter. Everything in moderation is good. EV’s are not THE future. They are part of it but ICE will be dethroned simply because of politics. Lithium production is so harmful to the environment.

Splitting the technologies to include EV’s, ICE & HFC will be a wayy smart approach to 2050 tha. Trying to ram EV’s as the sole savior. The entire globe is gambling on it and it’s going to have negative impact on everything. Oil futures are sky high right now because engineers and economists both know that lithium is not nearly as abundant as fossil fuel but it’s way more harmful to produce. Ironic isn’t it.

I own 2 Teslas. If someone told you that, they are retarded

There has been only minimal changes to the Model S since it debuted a decade ago. The Model S Plaid is almost indistinguishable from any Model S made post mid-2016

no government mandate had to get me to buy them. They just provide a lot of light that is very energy efficient because they produce very little heat and almost all light.

Except EPA rules forced the phase out of incandescent bulbs. Also, LED's are nowhere near as efficient as they are touted to be, no as long lived. The LED itself might last 10's of thousands of hours in a laboratory but the driver circuitry barely lasts longer than good incandescent bulbs for all of the heat they generate. They produce far more solid waste when they burn out too.

Government intervention usually doesn't work.

I couldn't give more of a shite about the enviorment. So far all I've seen about it is end of the world alarmism impulsed by the same kind of people of '' The science council will decide your fate'' as Fauci.

There are thousands of scientists who don't acknowledge that humans have an impact on the climate, but of course the ''pro science'' group who hates conspirationist theories, claims that all those who dissent form part of the oil industry's global conspiracy to destroy the world for short term profit. Because you know, the multi billonaires would rather spend all their money in a cover up of global scale, instead of just, invest a small fraction of that in monopolizing the renewable energy industry for themselves, since it already has a high barrier of entry in capital

I would buy one if they were a cheap way of saving money on gas, but they really aren't as of now.
