Here Comes the Electric Fail

[It will be fine]

You self appointed engineers can argue all you want . All I know is what really matters. The money is going in the direction of EV's and Electric/Hydrogen Fuel Cell hybrids. My current vehicle is a 2018 ICE vehicle. I fully expect it to be the last ICE vehicle I'll own.

I really hate where I’m at for my fleet purchases. EVs just aren’t there yet. Gas trucks are trash. Diesels cost more but are worth it for longevity but I won’t get that benefit if EVs come along as well as expected in the next 10 years.

Elon Musk sends a rocket into obit than retrieves all three of the boosters there is no competing with AI technology.

The Tesla truck is ugly as hell, to me anyway

If the Cybertruck won’t dent when we hit it, can we drive off of it like a Dukes of Hazzard bridge jump?
Asking for me.

I mocked its aesthetics from day one. I was converted when I realized why it was that way. I thought they were just being stupid and arbitrarily trying to look futuristic.

But the entire design was driven by the decision to make it so rugged, using steel which couldn't be formed into traditional panels. That dictates an angular design.

The news out this AM should clearly tell you the direction where the matter is headed.

UPS announced that they have purchased 10 EVTOL"S . Will fly 1400 pound load 250 miles at 170MPH. Fat Freddy will beat that one by announcing that he has purchased 50 C46 Commando's from a South American used aircraft dealer.

They were not using the Full Self Driving package. 100% not Tesla's fault or responsibility.

And my area was filled with Teslas that were fine, while people used sick days on preload because they didn't have gas from the pipeline problem.

Different problems for different vehicles.

Look at how far we came technology-wise in the past 20 years and figure that we'll advance at an even faster pace over the next 20. Also figure that companies set these long-term goals all the time and everyone forgets about them by the halfway point.

Hahahahahaha.
Our computers take twenty minutes to start and the LEO’s have so much latency they may as well be pregnant.The IT guys must be on the same exciting pay scale.

You sexist broad, the boss could be a chick with large bonuses of her own.
Consider yourself reprimanded.

Can't even park half the trucks inside the building now, how are we going to charge up these trucks?

Our station is a dual -use facility, can't park ANY trucks inside, looks like a CF from here.

From Amazon To FedEx, The Delivery Truck Is Going Electric

It's not just passenger cars: Delivery companies are updating their vans and trucks with electric models as they look to save on fuel and cut maintenance costs.

www.npr.org

"And FedEx just pledged to replace 100% of its pickup and delivery fleet with battery-powered vehicles by 2040."

CF= Consolidated Freight

And EV’s don’t have catalytic converters for your side business, either.

Stop pickin on the black guy, he'll run and tell his dad, wait scratch that.

Stop pickin on the black guy

What they didn’t say is this: If all goes to plan the ground side of our company will be taking out 150-200 stops a day in diesel heavy duty trucks. Our express side will be so gutted in the next 15 years do to piss poor management it makes sense to use an electric fleet as we will only be delivering medicine and paper docs.

Electric trucks have a lot more power than diesels.
