The Tesla I rode in parked itself into a fairly tight spot. You needn't look away from your smartphone for even a moment.

And???
I was able to get in four extra tweets during that time.
I haven't read all the replies, but imagine the problem for Australia, unique in the world. A vast country, nearly 3m square miles in area including deserts & inhospitable areas, but only 25m in people to pay for nation wide charging stations.

Insurance costs are really high too. Almost $4,000 per year for a Model 3 through Tesla.
From the first one a toy for money men. Average Joe”gasoline”!

Electric cars most likely have a net-negative impact on the environment too. The story about them being clean & green needs to be openly discussed. Since they use lithium batteries the production and disposal of those is problematic. Mining lithium requires heavy machinery that emits carbon dioxide. It requires about 500,000 gallons of water, which is evaporated, to produce one metric ton of lithium. Trees and farm ground are removed to create lithium mines and dangerous by-products are released. The true story needs to be openly reviewed and presented.
Article was written in 2019. Some of the reasons listed made me laugh.
It wasn't written recently. I thought some of the reasons listed were funny.
Not much there to explain.

I wonder if they have any numbers on how many EVs caught fire in Florida due to Ian's massive tidal surges?

Even with all the advancements in technology we are still decades away from electric vehicles being practical and even then not on a large scale.

But wait-these show just how advanced we have become. Every life or death vehicle is electric! There never was electric vehicles until Musk! Even all the NASA rockets are electric! All Union Electric trucks are electric-we have certainly came so far!!!

15 hrs to drive 178 miles. Who in their right mind would think this is a good thing, when the trip could be done in 2 1/2 hrs?

Wow! I’ve done some really sketchy things in my life, but never even dreamed of that!
Wyoming EV Road Trip Hell: Cheyenne to Casper In 15 Hours

From the article;
The federal government recently approved a plan that will provide money to build EV charging stations every 50 miles along major highways and interstates.
From me;
Oh? So I have to subsidize more people in their bad decisions? Bullshit.
Posted this on another thread, thought I would post it here too !
Hmmm !
