If I were to own 2 the second would be a hybrid or EV. They make sense. When the time comes I will not become a whiny bitch about adopting electric technology into my ownership.

spin_dry Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Apparently very few read the pages of FS. If they did, Tesla wouldn't have delivered 308,000 vehicles during Q4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where has that been going? No more gas additives needed. There will be zero emissions from a EV. The sooner the better Those fork trucks run big lead acid batteries not lithium or worse. Lead is cheap and easy to recycle lithium not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems nearly inconsequential to me. I would want more break than that for a drive that long. But as you know you get a room on a interstate at night every charger at the hotel is full see it every time . And most of those are just the standard 220 plugs . Not world ending but still not somtbingvto count on . Same with teuch stops with diners. Always looks to be a line waiting for the 2 to 8 bays . My electrician has been making big bank installing residential chargers . Not sure how he got on the tesla list but he did . 90% of his jobs are in Minneapolis of those over 1/2 need a full service upgrade lol most of the old houses are not even 80 amp . The wire going to the house is not even big enough . Now they are getting in to issues in some neighborhoods that the old main line in the hood can not Handel the 5 chargers and the rest of the required load for the block or run or what ever it is. Guess this is most common on old dead end runs . I guess lots of young people look to have stretched there budget to buy the car and don't have the $$$ for the home service upgrade or worse tge dumb fucks are renting and buy one lol Then they have to gorilla charge around town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1jkw Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 The cost of the vehicles is too high for me except the ford E-truck and good luck getting one of those. 150 mile range in cold temps. would work great for me even 125 miles would cover me quite well and needs to be 4wd or awd.

I think the next car for the wife will be a leased EV or hybrid. Totally makes sense for her. Me, not so much. Hybrid is the way to go rather than full EV. The Tundra/Sequoia Hybrid will be a winner for people who want the ease of gasoline. Edited January 31, 2022 by Crnr2Crnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deephaven Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 My wife drives our "truck" now which means I can get an EV as soon as they release the one I want. When I take one of the boats, the sleds or whatever we will trade cars. My car is mostly used to run to and from soccer & basketball.

Deephaven Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Hybrids defeat the whole purpose of the simplified drive train IMO. If you have to drive remote and go further than you can on a charge EV's aren't for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
