Lol, yeah right! You’re probably Bernie sanders biggest donor
Only 5% of next car purchasers expect to buy all electric cars-Road and Track.

Ima call you Bernie jr. From now on.
You may be right. But didn't you just argue that these current motors and batteries last an extraordinarily long time? You've been pushing the superiority of these things for awhile too.
You've got more money than I do. I don't care about performance these days, just high mpg's and reliability.

I only care about reliability and longevity. The 5.7 and 6spd tranny are about as proven as it gets. It’s actually not bad for a big motor. I consistently get 18mpg.
I'd rather get 50+. My preferred vehicle would be a one ton pickup with a truck camper but I'll settle for what I can afford.

You can do that. I had a red car and a blue car at the same time. They were named Bernie and Ted.
The blue one looked kinda gay, so it fit.

I’d rather get that too, however I need something that will tow a camper cross country.

Yes, the current ones are superior, and 300k-500k miles for the old, inferior motors is within the time frame we established....lasting someone 20 years and being cheaper than basic maintenance on a gas engine.
Nobody puts half a million miles on a car, or even wants to. It's academic.
But yes, the ones from a few years ago will last the average person for a few decades, without replacing the battery or motors. That's the important part. And they'll do it with no maintenance.

Then you can buy a new Tesla and not even think about it, or buy a big diesel truck you like, do routine maintenance, and it's all good. I don't care.
The point is that everyone here is simply triggered and wrong about EV reliability, longevity, ease, and general superiority in most applications.

Two More States Follow California’s Ban On New Gas Cars
Washington and Massachusetts are following a policy from California to ban the sale of new gasoline-powered cars by 2035. Rules from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) require 35% of new vehicles to produce zero emissions by 2026 before rising to a 68% benchmark by 2030 and a 100% level...
@over9five and @Covemastah you guys better enjoy your gas guzzlers as long as you can. After 2035, it’s OVER.

No, im gonna do it on my tundra. The government ruined diesels, and sorry evs are junk, inconvenient, and just not practical. The only way I could ever see them succeeding is if we get rid of the consumer having to charge it totally. There is a company in China that sells the ev, but takes the battery out of the equation. $10 a month or so gets you so many battery swaps a month at their battery swapping locations. Takes 3-5 minutes to swap a battery, similar to gas pumping. That way when the battery dies, your car isn’t junk. Still doesn’t solve the environment issue they are supposed to solve.

Battery swapping is garbage and only works in super high density areas, which is why they work in China.
You seem not to understand that public charging isn't part of the average EV owner's experience or life. I charge a few times a year, and I put 20k miles a year on mine. It's so rare that it's hard to remember how to use them or where the app is on my phone.
I have electricity at my house, and most people do. If your house has electricity, you don't use public chargers except on long-distance trips.
The battery doesn't die. You guys just need to forget that whole line of thought.

Battery swapping would be less convenient for me, just like having a gas car would.
Why should I make a stop to refuel at all?
My house has fuel with a plug. No stops.
If I had the chance to battery swap, why on earth would I?

why buy two cars when you can have one gas vehicle to do anything you want. Most people can’t afford two vehicles, so they’re not going to sell them to the masses, and they’ll only be a luxury every other 4 yrs when a worthless democrat gets into office. You can’t take long vacations, you can’t tow. Sorry, people like to take vacations without spending a quarter of their time at a charging station.

Lol, all they’re going to do is make the car companies in states like Texas and Florida a fortune. Just register your car in Texas. Good to go.Two More States Follow California’s Ban On New Gas Cars
