Date: March 16th, 2024 12:07 AM Author: Contagious marketing idea candlestick maker JFC I find it amazing the way that reptiles just mindlessly accept anything that they hear on Fox News. A simple google search could have told you that every single EV manufacturer warranties their batteries for 8 years/100k miles (most have even more extensive warranties). And full batter failures are very rare regardless of whether the car is under warranty. It is true that EV batteries tend to lose range over time.
But the idea that it is common for EV batteries to fail and need to be replaced is utter nonsense. You're far more likely to need to replace the engine or transmission on your ICE vehicle. |

Date: March 15th, 2024 5:47 PM Author: Umber Striped Hyena it seems like a lot of people feel burned. they didn't realize how much hassle and expense was involved. the whole EV thing might blow up and pass into history as a 'fad' that wasn't ready for primetime.
a lot like 'solar panels' in the 70s and 80s. millions of people ran out and installed 'solar' (Jimmy Carter even famously placed solar panels on the WH roof), but the technology was really primitive and people regretted buying them. 40 years later, though, they are making a comeback as the efficiency finally improves to a point where they are viable.
same will likely happen w/ EVs. they will be a niche thing for a while, then re-emerge when they make a battery that lasts through winter. or maybe not. maybe it's never going to be viable. |

Date: March 15th, 2024 5:50 PM Author: nighttime demanding jewess Avis stuck me with an EV the last time I went to California. It needed a recharge when I was over there near Burbank. First I tried to see if I could charge at a Tesla charger. I could not because the Tesla chargers were proprietary. Then, I had to find another option. There was a municipal charger in the same lot. So I went over there. Figured it out. Downloaded an app, uploaded a credit card, stuck in the charger and was told it would take 11 hours for a charge. Then I started scrolling through the EV's OBSCENE nav system (I don't like screens in my cars at all). Found some menu that directed me to the EVGo station outside the Cambria Hotel at the 101/Las Virgenes Road. Guys Calabasas is like 30 minutes away from Burbank. And this is urban southern California. You would think there would be chargers around. There are none. It's completely stupid and you'd be an idiot to buy an EV for any other purpose than to drive to and from a place that's relatively close to your home. These things may have a purpose, but they are no replacement for the ICE-powered American car. They will never work or be preferred in a place like Georgia, Tennessee, Texas, or even California. They are junk. |

Date: March 17th, 2024 3:55 PM Author: Contagious marketing idea candlestick maker JFC. "I'm too stupid to know how to use the Internet to find a fast charger, therefore EV's are trash." No, actually you are just a fat, stupid goy who is too dumb to use the Internet. Because there are dozens of fast chargers in/near Burbank. For example:
https://www.plugshare.com/location/186197
It is true that EV's are TTT if you can't charge at home. But don't try to argue that EV's are bad when the actual problem is that you are dumb. |

|
Date: March 19th, 2024 12:58 AM Author: Contagious marketing idea candlestick maker Do what? Use the Internet? I didn't realize that opening a web browser was that hard to do.
And there is zero reason to ever look for an EV charger unless you are on a road trip. Normally you charge at home. You never have to do anything to fuel your vehicle other than plug it into the wall. I don't understand why reptiles think it is so horrifying to never need to go to a gas station again. |
|
Date: March 21st, 2024 1:47 PM Author: mind-boggling internet-worthy corn cake yes having to google "place to charge this piece of shit that hertz gave me in area i don't live in" while driving is a pain in the ass.
and yes 'reptiles' are rightfully skeptical of cars that require expensive upgrades to their home that will probably be obsolete in a few years and will still require them to "get gas" because the battery life will drop to like 50 miles after 3 years or so, similar to the way iphones do. |
|
Date: March 21st, 2024 10:21 PM Author: Contagious marketing idea candlestick maker Umm... Okay... Because it's not like anyone ever needs to use the Internet to find a gas station in an unfamiliar city. I don't understand why that's such a bid deal.
And JFC why do reptiles believe this nonsense about EV battery degradation? Tesla will literally replace your battery for free if range drops below 70% within 8 years of buying the car, but they get almost zero claims. It is true that EV's will lose a bit of range over time, but saying that it will only get 50 miles of range after 3 years is idiotic hyperbole. For modern EV's, the chances of needing to replace the engine or transmission on an ICE car is much greater than the chances of needing to replace an EV battery.
And you don't really need to install an EV charger at your home unless you have a long commute. It is true that EV charging on a standard 110V outlet is fucking slow, but it will still restore at least 40-50 miles of range if you leave it plugged in overnight. But even if you do install a level 2 charger, it's usually on the order of $1,000. I chuckle at the reptiles who will waste several grand on scratch resistant paint and extended warranties and all the other stupid goy shit they sell you are the car dealer but act like paying $1,000 for a home EV charger is some outrageous expense. |

Date: March 22nd, 2024 11:18 AM Author: mind-boggling internet-worthy corn cake no one uses the internet to find a gas station you zoomer kike dipshit. they're just everywhere. and yes literally every battery powered device that anyone has ever used has gone to shit before the device would have otherwise been unusable. i'm sure electric cars are different since it's a much bigger battery powering a much larger device.
and fuck warranties. no one buys new cars any more because used cars are actually reliable now and there's an efficient and proven market for them so the only way GC can sell more fucking new cars is to forcememe a new yet to be proven on a long term basis tech onto everyone and larp it as 'eco friendly' even though it clearly isn't.
tldr - go fuck yourself, kike |

Date: March 22nd, 2024 7:10 PM Author: Contagious marketing idea candlestick maker Yeah, EV's are trash that will never last more than 50k miles before the battery goes to shit:
https://insideevs.com/news/699413/highest-mileage-tesla-model-s-3-batteries-14-motors/
To be fair, he has replaced the battery four times. But show me an ICE car with anywhere close to 1.2 million miles on the odometer. Show me an ICE car with 300k miles, for that matter.
And if you literally just drive around until you see a gas station in an unfamiliar neighborhood/city, then do whatever makes you happy. Personally I like to use Google Maps so I don't waste time and gas driving around aimlessly. But it's amusing to see reptiles absolutely lose their over a vastly superior technology just because they associate it with "libs." |
|
Date: March 23rd, 2024 4:31 PM Author: mind-boggling internet-worthy corn cake i don't see how it's "vastly superior technology". i guess it makes more money for Elon Musk when you have to buy a brand new car every few years and your old one has no resale value because it needs a new battery that costs more than the car is worth and likewise you can't even save $ buying a preowned EV for that same reason. don't even have to go into the fact that they are loaded to the gills with pointless tech that will either break or go obsolete and again shorten the lifespan of your car.
The whole point of EVs is to make owning cars unaffordable for the middle class. |
|
Date: March 25th, 2024 1:23 AM Author: Contagious marketing idea candlestick maker Are you just a fucking moron? One of the reasons it is a vastly superior technology is because EV's last far longer than ICE cars. Did you read the link I just posted about the Tesla with 1.2 million miles on the odometer? Elon Musk built a car that you can literally drive for 1.2 million miles and you are trying to tell me it is conspiracy to make cars unaffordable because they constantly have to be replaced. Okay. And I don't know why I bother to argue with total idiots, but if your range drops below 70% with less than 150k miles on your odometer, Tesla replaces the battery for free. So you're simply a fucking idiot who knows nothing about EV's. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5504792&forum_id=2#47523898) |

|
Date: March 18th, 2024 1:41 AM Author: Underhanded Trip Preventive Strike Halford seems like almost all the extreme ev hate is from people that just hate annoying environmentalists. im not even sure if it's an good choice for environment considering the impact making and eventually disposing of the battery and the infrastructure we have to build to supports evs.
evs have better performance than all but the the sportiest ices. if you're in an urban area and have a garage you'll spend way less time keeping your car full of power with an EV. the incentives make it a no brainer for most people. they are cheaper to fuel and maintain.
outside of people that legitimately need a lot of range or are in an area not suitible for an ev, it's the best choice. better performance, saves you time and money. |
|
Date: March 21st, 2024 1:31 PM Author: Stimulating slap-happy puppy resort Agreed. I'll also note that the sportiest of ICE cars that offer competitive performance a) are VERY expensive, and b) the maintenance is particularly expensive.

|
Date: March 21st, 2024 10:25 PM Author: Contagious marketing idea candlestick maker The idea that manufacturing/disposing of batteries is worse for the environment than burning gas is anti-EV flame. Not that there isn't some environmental costs, but manufacturing and burning gasoline is much worse. It is true that EV's actually have slightly greater particulate emissions than hybrids simply because modern catalytic converters are so efficient that more particulate pollution comes from the tires than the exhaust. And EV's chew up tires more quickly because they are heavier. So if you are a reptile who likes to troll enviromentalists, you can buy an EV and think about all the tire particulates you are sending into the air, I guess. (I remember reading a study that said that Republicans are less likely to buy a light bulb if it is labeled as "energy efficient." That study seems relevant to the discussion about EV's.)

Date: March 22nd, 2024 11:58 PM Author: Underhanded Trip Preventive Strike Halford i believe this is most likely the case. but anything environmental is so politicized it's impossible to really know. either way, i didn't get it for the environmental impact, but because it's by and far away the best option if you live in a shitlib state that gives you a bunch of incentives and if you actually have a place to park it and charge.
i *never* stop to charge except on very long roadtrips. and even then it's about an ordinary pace for stretching and peeing. |

Drove a rental recently and you forget how annoying it is paying for and getting gas. People saying "oh the road trips" are missing the point."
I got to a Tesla supercharger like 10x a year - usually on really long road trips. It probably takes 10 minuts longer than a nomral gas station so it is a pain in the ass.
But the rest of the year i never get gas. I used to go once a week. That's a net of 42 less trips to the gas station. |

Date: March 15th, 2024 11:30 PM Author: Titillating opaque locale Same here. I really like mine. I’ve had it for >3 years and have had it in for service once. One other time I had an issue with a camera and they sent mobile service to my office and it was nbd. I’ve charged it at a Supercharger ~6 times ever. I charge at home and most hotels when I’ve taken rare weekend trips have had a free charger.
It’s fast, very low-maintenance, and generally works well. It’s very Reddit-like to get Yosemite Sam mad about them because LIBS! and I’m very far from being a lib. |

The Tesla is just a motor turning a wheel instantly responding to you hitting the gas. The ICE is mini explosions of gas inside your car turning thousands of gears and converting the explosions to energy in real time. In his words, ICE are fun to drive but they are just really fucking stupid when you compare them to a Tesla. |

Date: March 18th, 2024 1:33 PM Author: Contagious marketing idea candlestick maker Nobody really knows. Most mainstream publications are saying it is because the market of early adopters is saturated and the rest of the market is nervous about making the switch. But I think the culture war is a bigger culprit. Since Biden tried to incentivize a transition to EV's, half the country thinks that they must be bad because anything that a Democrat advocates must be bad. Fox News seems to publish some type of silly anti-EV propaganda every single day. Meanwhile Elon Musk started posting right wing tweets, so now libs don't want to buy from the largest EV manufacturer any more. The result is that EV adoption has slowed significantly.
BTW, sales are not "cratering" by any reasonable measure. EV sales increased dramatically in 2023. They just didn't increase as much as the auto industry expected, so the result was excess inventory and falling prices. |

Date: March 22nd, 2024 12:30 PM Author: Stimulating slap-happy puppy resort I don't buy the political angle and if anything the fact that Tesla is now the Republican car brand should increase appeal from when EVs were for shitlibs only. Shitlibs still have a ton of EVs to choose from while Cons will happily buy a Tesla. Now there's an EV for everyone. I suspect that the overwhelming majority of Cybertruck owners are conservatives. It is more Hummer than the Hummer EV.
I agree with your point about cratering. I'll also note that in the US EVs are basically for the performance and high end market. I'm getting an EV, but it costs $120k. I'm a car guy but have never paid 6 figures for a car before. It is sort of nuts. |
