  1. EV Advertising

    Sometimes, the marketing looks like it's for the customer but it's targeting the investors. It's a new industry and there will be multiple failures (ava a few frauds). The early automotive industry was fascinating to me. Anyone willing to hack together a car made a car company. Some failed...

  2. Why some electric car owners return to gas – the reasons aren’t surprising

    Took the Prius to the gas station today $4.15/gallon. Our fill-up was $33.- I wonder what ICE vehicles they went back to. I wonder how much of it was financial versus infrastructure. 1 out of 4 did and say they won't go back. Not good. Winning back a lost customer is much harder than...

  3. Camero into Cybertruck

    El Cyber-ino? El-Cy? El Cam-truck?

  4. When Do We Start Seeing Some Weird EV Designs?

    That author owns some iconic vehicles. They've put engines and people everywhere in vehicles. I remember working on my buddies first generation Ford Econoline Van and thinking they put the engine there??!? My brother had a type 2 and I remember being afraid for him driving it. (The driver...

  5. Washington State Plans to Ban Sales of Gasoline Cars after 2030

    Agreeing and piling on... We wouldn't have helmets in the NHL or seatbelts in cars without mandates. It's standard now and it's hard to imagine not having helmets and seatbelts. Even after Bill Masterton died on the ice in 1968, the players and league voted three times not to have helmets...

  6. Washington State Plans to Ban Sales of Gasoline Cars after 2030

    You're mixing commercial real estate and residential. There's a reason Dutch Bros is a thing. Commercial real estate can carve out a spot(s), sign a contract, plop down a coffee drive-thru, and business. Commercial real estate also gets a tax-break **cough** government encouragement **cough**...

  7. Washington State Plans to Ban Sales of Gasoline Cars after 2030

    Are you suggesting that someone like Electrify America would want to do an build out in an apartment complex parking garage? The owner does want an easement or lost parking or people calling about the charger. Businesses don't get a net positive if they are doing work in someone's parking...

  8. Washington State Plans to Ban Sales of Gasoline Cars after 2030

    Seeing as how we're doing the half-baked question as an answer thing... Who pays?

  9. Washington State Plans to Ban Sales of Gasoline Cars after 2030

    ZETA is an EV industry trade group pushing for 2030 as well. Unsurprisingly, all the EV names are members including Tesla who usually like to do their own thing. https://www.zeta2030.org/ I'm curious how Washington plans to deal with the rural communities as well as MUD (multi-user dwellings...

  10. Jet Suit - For those real off-road adventures

    Here's a different but similar thing. The only reason I like this is that there's a whole backstory about electric and BMW. Big on pump, thin on details but lots of fun.

  11. Tesla owner with Mustang Mach-E reports threats on social media from Tesla fans

    I was following an online chat between a Ford and Chevy fan. They were throwing the typical shade so I brought up how the Dodge Charger was even faster. The two of them turned on me instantly and were joined by their hatred. Car buying is not a rational choice, it's identity-based. It's not...

  12. ICE proposed EOL 2035

    Are you suggesting people vehicles are "reasonable" people? They are not. I am quite serious. Reasonable purchases would not include sports cars, luxury sedans, or stainless steel 80K trucks. Talk to someone who still loves driving their '62 Bug or a F250 grocery getter. Even after EV are...

  13. Tesla Looks a Lot More Like BlackBerry Than It Does Apple

    This comparison is stupid. "Blackberry was first mover and Tesla is first mover so...". A proper analysis would include the market cap of landlines and accessories (anyone remember wireless phones?) and the increase in user base because it was no longer household restricted. Then, the analogy...

  14. Oil Major Total Buys Texas Solar Projects

    This is fascinating and unfortunate. According to the Total CEO, the prices of the renewable projects that they seek are actually going up while consumer installs and production prices are going down. However much I think individual solar is a great thing, having major energy companies do MW...

  15. The 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV Compared to the Tesla Model 3 and Nissan Leaf

    What doofus said, "Let's name the all EV car a Bolt and the hybrid one a Volt"??? There should be marketing Razzie awards.

  16. Heavy-Duty Engine Manufacturer Detroit Diesel Is Now in the Electric Semi-Truck Business

    I had always seen their eCascadia as a Mercedes-Benz product, probably all my misunderstanding. They promo'd driving assist tech with the eCascadia a couple years ago iirc. Of all the class 8 offerings, I think this offering is the only real challenger; they got all the beats: autonomous...

  17. Look out Tesla, SAIC's $4,500 electric car takes China by storm

    Wait, is the GM partner Great Wall Motors or General Motors? Micro-vehicle, does 60mph, carries four, no licence needed... makes sense /s If the push is toward cleaner air via EV, then why continue to make coal plants? I'm not sure I'll ever understand China

  18. Rivian’s Amazon electric delivery vans deployed for road testing in Los Angeles

    Bee in your bonnet today? They can name their platform whatever they want. Motherboards have a form factor but they get their own names. VW has a skateboard-ish form factor butat least they call it MEB because Modularer E-Antriebs-Baukasten is better than board with trucks and wheels. If...

  19. Rivian’s Amazon electric delivery vans deployed for road testing in Los Angeles

    And... back on topic now... Rivian supposedly has a "skateboard platform". This is simultaneously cool and stupid. Truck, van, utility vehicle, fullll size sedan are all possibilities, with economies of scale still being a benefit. Potentially change the center frame length and battery...

  20. GM to go all EV by 2035

    Interesting for a bit, it's hard for me to give a shit about a 10,000 year period let alone a inter-glacial or even a 1000 year period. The guy has the whole black shirt vibe down, he's worked for NASA and PBS and yadda, yadda, yadda. Living till the next IceAge, circa 2700, is my...
