Snake Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Take the amount of money that you feel your time is worth, and multiply that by the amount of wasted hours sitting and waiting for a bar graph to slowly creep across the dash to 100%. You seriously have to be a special kind of idiot.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you would need to be an idiot to attempt to use the completely wrong tool for a very long and tedious job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 The last thing in the world my X5M is, is a towing machine. But it has a tow rating of 6k pounds. I could have made the trip in half the time, minimum, in a vehicle not designed for towing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That truck would be very useful for plenty of people , myself included at times. It is not useful to haul things long distances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing how many have been brainwashed enough into this global warming scam that would make them go out and purchase said vehicle all in the name of protecting the environment. Some are slow I guess, but it sounds like many are now starting to see the sham it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's never mentioned having it to save the environment. It's no different than someone who uses a smart car to commute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe_zrt Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 The worste part is attempting to force something on everyone that just isn't ready. When battery technology gets to the point of equal range and equal "fill up" time at the station as a ICE, I have no doubt ICE will go away quickly for light passenger vehicles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 The government will give you vacation credits at your employer to take your family on vacations in a EV because of the additional time to get to your destination. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
