I just posted an article discussing the problems that pure EV adoption brings. Legacy auto has big problems. You got your panties is a bunch because you somehow thought having an ICE business is an advantage to EV transition. A statement you've made numerous times. Well, the CEO of a major automotive manufacture just shit on your thesis.
My panties are completely unbunched. And pink to support breast cancer research.
You could start working on one yourself. 🙂
Extreme DIY: Building a homemade nuclear reactor in NYC
The BBC's Matthew Danzico meets an amateur scientist who has built a homemade nuclear fusion reactor in the heart of Brooklyn, New York.www.bbc.com
lol...Internet tough guy thumping his chest. You win. Congrats on knowing all about a dying industry.
But that's just it. You're not aware of what's going on.
so tesla is not part of the auto industry? don't they build cars? or are they classified as something else to you cultists now...

Kia EV6 beats Tesla Model S to enter Guinness World Records for this feat
Kia EV6 has improved previous world record set by Tesla Model S for shortest charging time to cross the United States in an electric vehicle by more than five hours.
Is this record a reflection of KIA having a better battery than Tesla? Trying to understand the significance, if any.

Tested vs a 2015 Model S with an 85 kWh pack. They don't make them anymore.
Yes, dying. Fossil fuels are finite. Transportation has to go sustainable at some point, otherwise civilization collapses. Momentum for the transition has never been higher. New technology is expensive, but costs decline with economics of scale. What am I missing?
I'm a Porsche fan, and I don't doubt that the Taycan GTS is fun to drive on track. But, despite the review, I still don't think it would be as fun as other Porsche cars with ICEs and gears (manual or PDK). I also still like the Audi e-Tron GT's looks more than the Taycan (not better than the sport turismo Taycan, though, which is lovely, IMO).@mildone
2022 Porsche Taycan GTS Track Review | Ignore the geeks, just drive it - Autoblog
We drive the new Taycan GTS, the most performance-oriented version, at Willow Springs International Raceway in California.
You may think you know more - but your posts are just not living in reality. Tesla and a handful of other companies (probably mostly from china) are going to totally dominate the industry. I am a climate change denier but I watch facts and trends carefully. ICE cars are done and the companies that are agile "may" survive - the others wont.
"I am a climate change denier" and "I watch facts and trends carefully"
Ruh roh. That article will ruffle some feathers. 😀How Far Can You Drive an EV at Highway Speed: 10 Popular Models Tested
Electric cars manufacturers are far too optimistic when it comes to their models' range. Tested at highway speed, most EVs reveal their weakness. This test shows that range anxiety is real, but not all hope is lost.www.autoevolution.com
Yup, as if planning your long distance trip around charging stations is a welcomed inconvenience.
I've owned a Tesla Y 'long range' for 18 months now and charge at home. For local driving absolutely agree with the above and love the convenience. Should also mention that I've had no maintenance or service.
In the last 5 months I have taken the following long distance trips from western North Carolina - Charleston, Cape Cod, Nashville, Austin, Michigan and Cincinnati. Some 8,000 miles of highway driving using AutoPilot and not once did I have range anxiety. I track battery percentage and have found that 10% is good for about 30 miles, so emptying the battery will cover 300 miles highway (60-85mph is my speed range; I personally find 100mph to be exceedingly excessive). Have never driven any distance in very cold weather, and don't intend to do so.
Who is Kendall Roy?Musk is a weird guy. Courtney Love?
We're noticing a theme here. The only people with range anxiety are the non-EV owners. Myself included. It was a concern for me prior to buying my model 3. 2 years later, I don't give it a thought.
Isn’t that stating the obvious? None EV owners are saying that’s the reason they are NOT buying.
Unlike most sheep today - I think for myself. While I do believe the climate is changing I have a different view of the real cause. Just 10000 years ago Southern New York was under a mile of ice - and earlier the Pine Barrens was on the bottom of the ocean. IMO mother nature is in far far more control than we are. But you believe what you want - I wont "invalidate" all your statements simply because I disagree with one of your views.
CO2 levels have gone vertical in last 100 years. No asteroid impacts, no large scale volcanic eruptions. Unprecedented change in the blink of an eye (geologically speaking).
