Well if they just plain work, then you would think they would make an electric work van since it would be more reliable. Right? Electric motors just plain work, for about 250 miles then comes the inconvenient truth
Only 5% of next car purchasers expect to buy all electric cars-Road and Track.

And we don't have a say in the matter. Fanatics at the top are deciding for everyone to completely rework things and push us into a new reality before the infrastructure needed is even there. What could go wrong?

Actually, I’m obviously no engineer, but you would think they could put some kind of dynamo on all 4 wheels so that when the wheels are turning they are charging the battery?
There's regenerative braking for that but it only goes so far.

Right, that only works when you let off the accelerator right?
True, have to be braking.

That's fine that you drive hundreds of miles with a V-8. Nobody is taking your car away. If someone else wants to buy an EV why should your wants/likes dictate what they do?
And the auto bailouts made money for the government.
What are the REAL problems with transportation and energy you want solved?

Blackouts, windmills that are ugly, destructive, hazardous. Didn’t say the problems were all with transportation and energy. Lots of other problems that could use funded. Like the right of parents to use their school tax money for whatever school they want to send their child to, so they don’t get indoctrinated would be a good start. Yes, they are taking my v-8 away actually, Toyota no longer makes a v-8 for their trucks thanks to mpg restrictions that this destructive and dangerous administration has put on automobile manufacturers. California just outlawed ice vehicles after what 2035 or something?

Why do you people lie and gas light so much?
Several states will follow California’s lead in banning gas-powered car sales by 2035
"California’s decision to ban new gas-powered car sales by 2025 sheds light on similar initiatives introduced in other states."Non liberal

Well, I’m glad the auto bailouts made money for the government at my expense so they could spend it foolishly on their gross agenda.

I could care less what business sense it made. All it did was give the auto industry, or any industry “too big to fail” a license to be reckless at taxpayers expense. It was an ethical issue for me. My small business selling whatever would never be given a handout. It’s bullHow was it at your expense?

, giving them handouts while the farmer gets put out of business and nobody cares. I’m just tired of being screwed by my government in case you hadn’t noticed, and frankly so should you. FYI, I could care less about Donald trump, even though he did ten times the job any other candidate could have done. He actually encouraged pride in our country instead of the garbage the current administration is pedaling. Frankly the main reason I vote for him is because my lying ass government and media tells me not to.Non liberal

Tesla recommends regular maintenance service to optimize the performance, reliability, durability, safety and resale value of your Tesla.
www.tesla.com
Tire stuff, as I mentioned (any rotations and alignments)
Wipers as needed.
And that's it.
A few air filters ever 2-3 years.
There is nothing else to do. Not even brake pads.

Yes, and then you put fuel into it, like normal cars.Well if they just plain work, then you would think they would make an electric work van since it would be more reliable. Right? Electric motors just plain work, for about 250 miles then comes the inconvenient truth
Except you don't need to fill up, ever, as long as you drive under 250 that day.
Because your house is your gas station.

You want to increase the car's range by adding resistance to the wheels. Think about that for a second.
Harvesting energy from a turning wheel involves applying resistance to that wheel, and making the wheel do work it wouldn't otherwise do.
That's why there is regenerative braking and not regenerative driving. If you're braking, you want to apply resistance to the wheels, so harvesting it makes sense.
Regenerative driving would be shooting yourself in the foot. You would use battery to make the wheels turn, and then put resistance on the wheels to charge the battery, and all you'd get is destroyed range.

It was a loan the US car makers paid back early with interest and fees.
