    Article: It's becoming increasingly clear Tesla is just another car company -- agree / disagree?

    The article reads more like the author dislikes Tesla, and is going to spin anything Tesla does into something bad. https://www.businessinsider.com/author/nora-naughton Yep.

    Motor-Trend: You're being lied to about Electric Cars

    Yes its a bit click baity. https://www.motortrend.com/features/truth-about-electric-cars-ad-why-you-are-being-lied-to/ Personally I have always used 5 years as the break even point, guess the grid has gotten cleaner.

    Anti-EV idiocy

    When I was visiting some of my wife's family in Kansas they asked about battery powered tractors during harvest. They told me that during harvest they run the tractors nearly 24 hours a day for a week only stopping to change drivers and fuel up. I told them that the tractors would probably...

    Anti-EV idiocy

    Nissan is largely in the hole because of the last CEO who decided it was a good business strategy to cut corners to lower the price of the cars while relying on the reputation for quality to continue to sell cars. Long story short quality suffered and people went to other brands. We...

    Anti-EV idiocy

    There is still a large group that maintains and modifies modern cars. Ugly has an engine and transmission out of a 2003 so relatively modern. I like to brag that my wife knows more about cars than most men because its true.

    Anti-EV idiocy

    One of the questions was whether I thought batteries could operate the harvesters well enough with them using them for days straight only shutting down long enough to refuel and change operators. I honestly said no, but that may change in the future. They were surprised that heavy trucks were...

    Anti-EV idiocy

    Surprisingly had the opposite happen in a farming town in Kansas recently. My wife's family had questions about electric cars and trucks so my wife had me answering them. I mentioned that they didn't have a charging station in their town yet and they were shocked because they knew about the...

    Anti-EV idiocy

    Funny thing about concrete is while it is being made curing it first gives off a crap ton of CO2, then starts absorbing it. They had a problem with that during the earth ship experiments. That and the diurnal cycle of the plants.

    Tesla and Ford Have Top Brand Loyalty

    The way I buy cars screws with the way they measure brand loyalty. Even my brand new purchases. I tend to buy them and drive the wheels off... Then put the wheels back on... I'm good a putting the wheels back on. My wifes cars get replaced more often but we still tend to keep those 8+...

    How to ditch telemarketers

    Unfortunately Google assistant will not let me know I got a call often times important so I had to turn it off. They stopped calling me after I kept asking technical questions about the trucks with I like that truck but not if it has X-engine transmission combo. Took almost an hour before...

    How to ditch telemarketers

    Confirmed it works great, I always try to get a warranty for Ugly, if they don't hang up then I try for the 99 Nissan. After a couple of years of that they don't call near as much.

    Speed Buggy!

    I could see doing that. I drove further than that in Ugly with no windshield, roof, doors and got caught in a thunderstorm... luckily no hail.

    Aptera - the solar car - opens reservations

    Due to issues with my current job, and the possibility of my next job being a nearly 200 mile commute per day I put down a reservation for one to give myself some options. I would rather drive the wheels off of a $35,000 vehicle than a $70,000 vehicle, especially when the $35,000 will cost 1/4...

    Right to repair; Sustainable prioritisation

    From your previous responses I did get the impression that you were against it.

    Right to repair; Sustainable prioritisation

    Edit to add: Most of the cars that I could afford when I was younger were around my age. Its also how I learned how to work on cars by it being a necessity. No right to repair and those cars may not have been on the road any more. Much of the parts you said, not including #4 and 5 were still...

    Right to repair; Sustainable prioritisation

    Of course when you have enough money to buy multiple luxury trucks you tend to not have experience working on them unless they do so as a hobby and tend to be clueless as to the needs of most of the population.

    Right to repair; Sustainable prioritisation

    For, his time frame is similar to how long cars last in my arid environment. Still need regular repairs after warranty expires even on a very reliable vehicle. The crazy thing that he is missing is that the entire motor assembly on an EV is simpler to repair than a run of the mill 5 speed...
