Who cares? Who cares what anyone else buys or drives.

Liberals(Commies) care. They want to impose their will upon you. They don't want you to drive anything....if possible....that is their goal.

Communism/Socialism......each according to their needs....(determined by the State).

 

[rickyb]

i dont want dirty capitalists or govt imposing their will on me 40 hours a week at my job

 

[rickyb]

Without a clue.

Commies are very far and few between.....you will learn that the hard way....

they are growing in number every day because capitalism is getting worse every day

the news is actually reporting on sea level rise and global warming.

Son, ease up on the self-attaboys. I am a certified Aircraft Mechanic A&P.

EV's haven't been around long enough to compile much longevity data....they change so much.

ANY complicated machine(and they are immensely complicated)(EV's)....(you do realize this...right?) will/does require maintenance and has failures.

Why do you think EV's are ......magical and don't follow the rules of physics and time/wear etc.? Yes, there will be EV junkyards...

You are so heavily invested in your liberal cause(a weakness of liberalism) that you are (with being kind) sounding silly(I'm not allowed anything more critical).

Say, where do you get your technical info? The numbers you make sweeping generalizations with? That EV's are virtually maintenance free? It's interesting, our EV pkg cars were a dismal failure and spend/spent most of their time parked on the fence.

I've never seen someone who knew so little, make such declarative statements....

check an owner's manual on any EV.

I'm a bit to the right of Pinochet, by the way.

Pretty sure you're a pod in a matrix somewhere.

the capitalists are always looking for sources of income. its one of hte contradictions of capitalism. appliances are less reliable now than they were decades ago... i wonder why

In other words you don't want to make your own way. You want everything provided to you without effort.

in 1 life im an ecg technician stuck in the matrix

in another life i spend money on donations on those fighting to overthrow the capitalist order and i make youtube videos, and wear anonymous pants yesterday, and have cartoon terrorists on the back of my car...

thats what hte capitalists do. im all in favor of 1 person capitalist businesses where they are not giving orders Or having workers providing anything for them.

It also takes a smaller amount of your time to make the money necessary to buy appliances than it did decades ago. That's the efficiency of free markets at work.

Then start one and make money and live a good life.

Safety first!

I wouldn't want one just because of that stupid steering wheel. At least they could have put the horn button in the center of the wheel like a normal car. Imagine trying to find that little button while making a sharp turn.

the US economy is worse for workers now than it was decades ago.

its a high cost high debt economy.

I didn't say wipers and tires were the only maintenance.

I said they were pretty much all that's on the maintenance schedule. Everything else just needs to be inspected and replaced when bad.

Contrast that to an ICE car that needs a mechanic visit every few months so you don't kill it.

You can completely neglect an EV with no mechanic visits for years and everything is likely fine. That's the difference.

The word "schedule" matters. Learn it.

I recently brought my EV in for its first scheduled complimentary maintenance appointment. I mistakenly thought that the interval between appointments was 7,500 miles----it is actually 5,000. I asked the service coordinator if that was a big deal and he said that for EVs it was not as all they really do is rotate the tires, check the wipers, top off the washer fluid and inspect everything else.

You could go 50,000, not tell them, and nobody would notice.

yes you will always be looking at the steering wheel for the right touch button, and sometimes looking wont be enough.

and forget wearing gloves and driving at the same time.

check your owners manual dont trust dealerships

enjoy your car, think that one is actually good unlike these disgusting sex lives teslas

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Not an opinion.

EVs can be neglected and be fine.

Ice requires consistent maintenance or they die.

It may not work for you. That's fine. I didn't say that it did work for you.

EVs would not work in @What'dyabringmetoday???'s part of the world.
