Notice how all the libs scatter when you start talking about real science and actual facts.

Meanwhile Ford had to shut down production to there trucks due to battery fires.

Ford confirms battery fire caused F-150 Lightning production stoppage

My suggestion is to park your truck outside…and run extension cord to your truck to charge. At least 100 feet.

So anyone who does not vote for Trump is indoctrinated?

Why is it so hard to comprehend that not everyone see politics in the same way?

I suppose I could just say that anyone who supports Trump is a member of a cult that worships at the altar of Trump.

If you actually think things are better now than under Trump…you’re indoctrinated. Either that you allowed your hate to interfere with your thinking process.

So which is it?

@Nemesis

Lol love rhetoric such as “blood on his hands”.

Sorry mate you will never convince me the country was better off under Trump.

Yeah. That was pushed regularly due to covid during Trump’s administration by the left media. All of a sudden Biden is elected and it goes away.

The trump boat parade sunk

Trump is a criminal with the blood of thousands on his hands

Oh, you did…

Trump Declares He Will End Birthright Citizenship

I cant wait to see all the so called conservatives on this forum who worship at the altar of Trump be critical of this move which clearly contradicts the constituion. Oh thats right they wont be, they will either a) ignore this issue b) say its not an issue that concerns them !!! Or C) pivot and explain why Trump can do this and how the constituion actually supoorts this executive order. It might be this afternoon before we hear anything as they need to get their talking points from Hannity, L…

It doesn’t seem like the technology one would want to beta test with their life.

[Camp]

What are you sorry for.

Biden energy policy catalyzed the attack and he is up to his nose in Uke corruption.

@Nemesis

Are EVs going to completely replace ICE? Of course not. Are EVs perfect? Of course not. However the incessant bleating by some that their is some perceived loss of freedoms by EV is just ludicrous.

What does the word “ban” mean to you?

@tnt

Incandescent light bulbs comes to mind.

Excellent example … A ban on the manufacture and sale of 100 watt and larger incandescent light bulbs at a time when CFLs were a miserably inferior substitute and screw socket LEDs cost $25 per bulb. Thank you for reminding us.

[Camp]

Then LED came along without the need to force thon anyone.

@Axxowiz

Reality isn’t their friend unless they are considering powering all of those electric grids by coal which they are not.

They are pushing their population for something that the technology isn’t there yet. I am the first to admit that batteries have came a long way it wasn’t long ago and electric car would go only 60 miles now they are going 300+ it wasn’t the government that innovated this it was private companies.

If they would stay out of it and let it happen the transition would come anyways. It’s just not there yet obviously if Germany had to fire up their coal plants and the EU had to spend close to a trillion on energy loss from the war.

No if about it. They already have.

[tnt]

How’s it now? You all good? You know how much you save on your energy bill now?

I know it was some pretty scary times there for about six months…it was like zombie threat level stuff…but you good now?

@Orygun

Meh- what do you think self-driving cars are for? So that we can kick back and play mario brothers instead of hating a mindless commute.

Go to your job or the grocery store, but do something else while you’re getting there- just like riding a bus. Keep a car for traipsing out to the woods to hunt but let go of needing one for the day to day if you live in an urban area.

What do you suppose each self-driving car will cost compared to the dumb one you drive now?

[Samm]

@Orygun

What point?

That governmental interference shapes our lives?

Thats been true for a long time. They pick winners and losers with tax codes, incentives, legislation etc. We live in an ICE oil based reality in large part due to governmental interference. Our sense of “freedom” is based on systems and rules created by others.

In many ways, the EV and driverless cars represent an ability to plug into more options, more “freedom” instead of being beholden to one technology and fuel system.

And you love it, right? Your idea of freedom seems to be not having to make decisions or do things for yourself.

[tnt]

To an employer, over 10 years? Peanuts.

Self driving trucks don’t need health insurance, sick days and paid vacation.

[tnt]

Hyperbolic post is hyperbolic.

@TheRedComet

Self driving cars are a LONG way away.

They don’t do well with the variables of road conditions. Multiple experiments have shown that.

Instead what will become a standard feature (and pretty much already is a standard feature on premium and luxury cars) are driver assist aids. Lane center control, drowsiness metering, automatic braking, radar guided cruise control.

Funnily enough my 2018 Civic Si is the last year none of those features were available on the Si trim model. They became standard in 2019 model year “premium” Civics.

They are standard on Accords now. Even the base models have them.

I’d like to see them test a driverless car where I live … where you can’t see the lane lines (if there are any in the first place) or even the curb or shoulders for at least half of the year.

I speak only for me but I have no interest in ever getting in one.

Personally, I don’t even like cruise control.

They are only a long way away if we insist they operate flawlessly instead of just outperform the average human driver.

You mean like tolerating them running over the occasional pedestrian or bicyclist?
