Ok California. Now what?

[Fred's Myth]

Next, California will be refusing admittance to anyone driving an internal combustion engine.

 

[It will be fine]

This is incorrect.
I went directly to Tesla's website, and put in an (admittedly long) road trip that my father used to go on as a kid.
19 hour drive to Florida.

Tesla is giving an estimate of 31 hours for the same trip, based on the charging times.
Using their standard range Model X.

Using a 3 hour 15 minute road trip I used to go on multiple times a summer turns into a 4 hour 17 minute trip, as per their calculator.
That is inconvenient.

I'm a proponent of electric vehicles.
I think the technology will surpass gas vehicles naturally, if you idiots would just leave it alone.
But it just isn't there yet.
And trying to force people to get on board just proves the point that it *is* still currently inferior.

If you plan on taking long road trips I wouldn’t skimp and buy the standard range car. You are looking for reasons to make it seem impractical. It’s 20 mins for 50% charge. Nothing I posted was incorrect.

 

[It will be fine]

California passed legislature to force people to switch over to electric in the future.

Your argument is wrong, and you are looking for a fight. I made a legitimate point, and was not trolling.
You are the second person to make my ignore list.

Nope. They are just stopping the sale of ICE cars. They aren’t forcing anyone to do anything. You don’t have to drive a car at all.

I bet the poor black folk in Cali will appreciate you handing them that $13,000 electric bill from charging multiple vehicles every day. God knows thats just what they were hoping for. Or maybe you could front them the $50,000 to get a solar roof put on with a Tesla battery bank? Your foresight is unmatchable

You must be really old if you can remember all the way back to when the first automobile was invented

You call that humor? The fact remains the automobile was a liberal invention and Conservatives wanted to stick with horse and buggy. Some still do...see the Amish.

You mean liberals foisted all of this carbon in the air with your damn cars, killing our precious planet? You bastards!

Literally nothing. Electric cars hold their value longer. Maintenance is cheaper with electrics.

Incorrect.

We'll all pay for it under the Kamala's Kool Kars act

Will be interesting to see California go dark.

Literally nothing. Electric cars hold their value longer. Electricity is cheaper than gasoline especially if you generate it yourself. Maintenance is cheaper with electrics.

Maintenance is not cheaper!!!
Buy or lease and get rid of it after three years.

They'll just run generators, using the gas they buy for 20 cents a gallon, to charge their cars. Problem solved.

We can only hope.
Let them define self-sufficiency, let them define sustainability.
Screw em.

Post a map of current charging stations.

Enjoy the first brown out in Cali where smart boy did issued his edict.
The clowns have a hard time supplying the need for electricity now.
Wait till the jackasses have to plug their cars in.

I only called them jackasses because they voted and vote for this type of lunacy.

Jackasses, can't see the burning forest for the burning trees.

Not a smart bunch out there.

@tonyexpress , set me straight if I'm incorrect.
You have a Tesla, what is the future of electricity in California?

Yes, we have the Model 3 and love it. Plenty fast. We get updates via Wifi every week or two, its like having a new car all the time.

I'm not really sure what Gavin Mussolini is thinking about getting rid of gasoline engines when we already have rolling black-outs every time it gets hotter than 80 degrees. Also, shutting down nuclear power plants doesn't help.

Another thing... many people out here are getting solar for their homes (on their rooftops) several of our neighbors have solar. We are getting close to getting it as the technology is getting better all the time.
