As the technology improves, I’m sure I’ll buy one. More than likely it will be a BMW or a Porsche but I’m sure I’ll get one. Not because I’m forced to because I want to.
Bro your tune in this post is so opposite of your other posts regarding this subject.

When you post, and by you I mean everyone involved that’s against ev, are just creating aimless logic that will make it seem like this won’t happen.

I’m not saying ev and it’s “forced” date is right. I’m not saying ev is better for the environment. I already said I don’t give 2 shits about the environment. I had countless catless cars in the past. Polluting the air like no tomorrow. I don’t give a fuck about the air.

I’m just saying if they have something set in place, instead of bitching, think about the positives of it and not worry about all the negatives. If you had an opportunity to make a change then do so. Will it work? Probably not but at least you’re trying.

But in the meantime as you’re waiting for this “backfire” about ev that won’t happen, think of ways you can benefit from this. Have your awesome ice cars for the weekend and get a badass fast ev for your daily commute.

Imagine having your 700whp m3 on the weekend and driving something as fast as a plaid Monday - Friday.


Sounds like a win win for the future.

You sound like the kind of guy that should stand in line at the slaughter house calming the crowd down on the way to their fate.

Imagine only being able to afford one car, but you don’t want an EV, whether it be because of preference or it not fitting your lifestyle?

What percentage of the population can't afford a new car, ever? They always buy used, and the prospect of a used EV with the ticking time bomb of a battery replacement is not something I'd want to contemplate. But hey, some people think the government knows what's best for us.

So you're saying by the year 2035 comes, they won't make even more affordable EV's?

Where are you making this assumption from?

Because you're seeing 50-60K tesla's and EV6's and plaids and taycans for 100+k?

You just proved my point that the mentality you guys have are based on events happening TODAY.

Every year this is getting better. However you want to think or assume about the infrastructure, or the grid, or charging capabilities or electrical fires happening at home is all nonsense.

We went from horses to cars and people thought that wouldn't work out.

We went from carbs to fuel injection and people thought that wouldn't work out.

We went from PURE ICE to hybrids and people thought that wouldn't work out.

Again i already agreed and said the whole "set date" on this thing isn't right. But we're here and the date is set so what are you guys really complaining about? Like really?

Your complaining is the equivalent of an NBA referee giving a technical foul on a player and that player gets mad and throws a tantrum like a baby, throws a fit, curses the ref and gets ejected from the game. What good did that do him? NOTHING.

Same principle here. It's already set in stone. Either deal with it or don't own a car in the future.

If I believed what I was told by the experts, I'd believe that EV replacement batteries would cost $2000-$4000 today, not the actual cost of $15,000-$25,000 (or more). The old "it will get cheaper" just hasn't panned out.

Blue sky Predictions < actual reality.

Not if you know how this shit works.

So where the various fuel MPG requirements. You know, the ones that kept getting kicked down the road and changed. The old stones were thrown out and new ones engraved.

When the Soylent green EV company releases their first model, he will be an early adopter, and staunch advocate.

He's also heavily invested in Brawndo, because plants crave electrolytes.

You asked why people were complaining, I answered. You’re such a child it’s sad. Amazing that adults like you exist in the real world. Can’t imagine you in real professional environment. Your social skills haven’t advanced past middle school.

And you break down emotionally like a 16 year old girl.

I guess you're a child as well.

Nah i'm good mate.

Driveline juices $250
Brakes $600 (assumes the Model 3 doesn't need brakes within 100,000 miles)
Assumes Model 3 requires $0 maintenance and both cars use tires at the same rate.
Tesla EV has same brakes, discs and pads and as heavier car with the batteries there is more wear on them so must require more maintenance and replacement and I heard servicing on them is expensive, need to discharge to work safely on them.
