It is ridiculous, I agree. Not atypical of internet forums, but ridiculous nonetheless.

While not always the case with me, I strive to take the high road and let others take the low road.
I do that sometimes.
Wonder why they didn’t just go with electric trains.
Germany Now Has the World’s First Fleet of Hydrogen Trains
Germany spent $92 million on a fleet of hydrogen fuel cell trains to replace an aging fleet of diesel locomotives.
Good point. They can be pretty unsightly.
Sounds like it's in England. In which case, the FBI has no jurisdiction.
I suggest deployment of the national guard to every European gas pump.
they are all carrying deadly weapons.. has to be an angle to get them to do something threatening with those deadly weapons.. and then..
What I want to know is.. why do they take up the closest spots for those EV chargers? I have seen them ahead of handicap spots. Put em in the back of the lots.
i prefer the musical style of Tool better as far as Maynard's projects go, but yes, Maynard is pretty brilliant.
90k for a battery lol , has anyone talk about the safety of these electric vehicles, Tesla had some exploded from accidents. All I hear about is the cost but never the safety part for consumers to think about first before shoving the prices down everyone’s throat.
Do share. Do you have stats that compares ICE vs EV on car fires from accidents?
It's not $90K for a battery.

The part often left out is that in the case of Teslas, numerous drivers in collisions said their screen told them their batteries had been compromised and that they should get away from the vehicle. A widespread fire occurred as much as 10-15 min later.It's not $90K for a battery.
My post said a conventional ICE Platinum F150 runs $74,000. I redid the configuration, and it actually costs $80,000, plus sales tax. To purchase the ICE F150 Platinum, you would pay $85,000.
The price of the F150 Lightning Platinum is $90,000, and minus the tax credit, it is $82,500, and no sales tax.
So, the Lightning version of the F150 is $2,500 less expensive in 2022.
The car fire numbers are BS, per Car and Driver. Score more fake news from the prime source of fake news, the New York Times. Yes, the same newspaper that reported Poland invaded Nazi Germany when the opposite happened. Don't believe everything you see on the interwebs.
Want to LOL now?
No, Millions of Cars Are Not Catching Fire Every Year
A New York Times story about U.S. car fires references a study that gets the frequency wrong by a factor of at least 60.www.caranddriver.com
Common sense would dictate that if you are not injured, you should get out of a vehicle if it is safe to do so. I wonder if the instructions take that into account. On the other hand, it is not good to get out and move around if you have a cervical-spine injury. I'm not knocking Tesla--but not sure of the wisdom of the advice. But I guess if the vehicle has a good chance of catching fire, and you have to pick your poison--exit. This is coming from the perspective of someone who has handled multiple car accidents, vehicle extrications, etc from a firefighting and EMT perspective.
Ya think? I know we have our fair share of trolls, but never thought about the bot possibility. I'm honored if true.
HERE is a technology that has enormous potential to save lives. Why is this not deployed in every major city?
This would be amazing for the drivers. However, I am a chronic jaywalker. I'd like to not be punched in the face for doing so.
