re: Teslas charging at a gas station...

Arguing with outdated information
- It takes 2 hours to charge on a road trip
- The batter lasts 3 years
- The batter costs $10k to replace
It's all the same incorrect talking points in every thread. Then the next thread happens a week later, and sometimes it's the same exact people making the same exact posts despite being corrected and seeing they were incorrect but still running with it.

At their home? Because I've always had access to an EV charger on the road. It isnt any different. Plenty of videos of long road trips with these things on youtube
I don't need a gas pump at my house. There's stored energy in my gas tank while it's sitting in the driveway.
I've never seen an EV charger here, or even within a 150 mile radius.
That said, who cares? If you want an EV, go fricking buy one. Don't penalize people who don't want one by making them subsidize people that do.
Know who doesn't drive EVs? Poor people.

You're against subsidies?
Charging your car is no different than filling up your truck. A little bit more planning and a few minutes of your time. Most of your charging will be done at home anyways

Why is there a 15 page thread on Camry with Ipad? 
Posted on 4/6/21 at 8:47 am to shel311
Yea, I've had this same conversation. People Lay's resist change even when it makes total sense. To take it even further, they resist it when they can completely ignore it

I'm glad you can go to the gas station and spend 10 minutes tanking up your car for $80 once a week.
Costs me 35 dollars a week on average of E85 to travel to and from work. And it only takes 5 minutes to fill up. I laugh when I drive by and see the dorks at the tesla stations in their lawn chairs waiting on that 80% charge

This thread is still typical Louisiana as a lot of you are not used to seeing progress. Arguing with outdated information or what you saw in a meme and acting like the billions of dollars being pumped into this tech isn't progressing the technology. If you don't like EV do not get it. If you actually want to discuss it then start with googling an EV charger map and that will negate a few posts here right away.
Why don't you just accept the fact that it's not practical in today's society. Maybe one day a long time from now it will be and as technology advances who knows they may come out with something better than batteries. And actually I thought not fully charging and not fully draining a battery shortens life of the unit just like your cell phone. They will lose charging capacity over time in 5 years you may only be able to charge it to 90% max.

Yep. I'm not in favor of most subsidies. I'm hard pressed to even think of one subsidy I am in favor of.
Hard to charge your car on the road if there are only gas pumps.
Also, hard to pull a trailer with an EV, lol. Hard to fit a load of lumber into your Tesla Coupe.

Anything you've said, basically the opposite happens or the exact opposite is true about 99% of the time, and that's a conservative estimate.

Well...i shouldn't tell you about the Farm Bill...

I don't support farm subsidies, either. No need to tell me. In fact, much of the farm subsidy total goes to large corporate farms, not small family-owned farms.
Don't like them, either.
Land values increasing, coupled with property tax systems, is one of the biggest reasons small farmers struggle.

The thing is that it is practical for a large part of the population. The low maintenance is practical. Charging st home is practical.
The thing is your comment is already outdated. Check out Tesla's recent battery day. If a million mile battery doesn't convince you that the technology is progressing at a rapid pace nothing will

I exaggerated it intentionally because that's exactly what you did, kinda funny that you didn't realize that. The average person takes their kids to school, soccer practice, and goes to work. The average person does not need to drive 200 miles one way and back every day or once a week or month even.
You said you were glad I can charge at home in 13 hours. Truth is, I charge at home every night, and it takes probably 30-45 minutes to charge up at home, not 13 hours. So again, I'm glad you pay $80 and spend 15 minutes tanking up every week...that's what we're doing, gross exaggerating, right?

The irony is so thick in that post. It's funny that you don't realize that it is practical for the vast, vast majority of people.
It's just the same argument, "it's not practical, think about how long it's gonna take me to drive from Miami to Seattle, yea no thanks." Because, most people are making cross country drives all the time. And for the record, the cross country thing was pointed out by multiple posters in this thread insinuating how impractical it is. Sure, maybe for you and others who drive cross country, but that doesn't make it impractical for the vast majority of folks who don't.
quote:No, not at all. Again, that's misinformation. It's actually worse on a Tesla's battery to charge it to 100% every single night.
And actually I thought not fully charging and not fully draining a battery shortens life of the unit just like your cell phone.

Seems it’s you looking for my attention.
You have it. Hope you feel better.

For some. For others, it's really not. One time, in a prior life, I lived in an apartment complex where I parked outside. No charging stations, no electrical outlets, and parking wasn't even reserved.
Impractical.
Posted on 4/6/21 at 9:04 am to BiteMe2020
By your definition then your ICE is impractical as you did not have a gas station at your apartment complex

Be precise. Are you still referring to the Carvana fraud on used Tesla's?
Dude you need to move on, it's getting pathetic at this point.
Congrats on simping for Camry with Ipad like a woman in heat.

So it's bad to charge it up fully yet at home yet you charge it every night.

So people who have already bought and paid for vehicles it's practical to go spend more money on an EV or create a new bill just because joe biden said so?

This is a lie, all I did was go to their website you can get max 44 miles of range per hour with their home chargers on certain models after you pay someone to install the equipment, talk about misinformation, here's the link for you so you get your BS straight. LINK

It is bad to charge it to 100% every night. Not bad to charge it every night. If you are driving further then all you do is adjust it in the app or on the dash

Depends on how much he drives. Why are we assuming the battery is completely drained every day of use? My F150 is not on empty every day either

Own your argument, don't try to backtrack out of it and pretend you weren't talking about me. Don't slink away from it, own it. You know you were, man up and admit it.
But in all actuality, you can run along, you got your attention. ON to the next thread you go, happy trolling.

If I wanted your attention I would have responded to you.
What the hell is wrong with you people?
You just make shite up. Set your narrative like a good progressive.
I talk about my crazy neighbor but that doesn’t mean I want his attention.
You people are just weird.
