I've seen a few around Gainesville, but I would say you're right. The Rivian, the Hummer, the Cybertruck: They're all kind of like Lambos that you can also use to haul your garbage or maybe the Weber grill you bought at Lowe's.
But maybe the rich folks buying them will fund development into...
No, I claimed that, if any of those people that burned alive did so because the electric doors wouldn't work they could have opened the door manually.
A 15 second Google search found a web site that tells how to open a Tesla door manually. Spoiler alert: You pull up on the lever that's...
They're not really "beloved", since I don't even own one - but I will hold fast and not let the fact that some people have an unreasonable hatred for E.V.s stop me.
Thanks for the encouragement!
I didn't read anything in the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation. I researched the deal a bit online, and didn't do all my homework.
Eminent Domain laws are at best, theft. Rivian is a single EV manufacturer. Georgia government stole the land, not Rivian.
But did you do your homework? Rivian...
I could say the same to you about IC engines. Please let me know which "facts" I have wrong, I'm happy to have an intellectual discussion. Or is it just that I'm a leftist, man bun wearing, Joe Biden loving, tree hugging Hitler?
Before you answer, please consider my old frickin' Jeep Cherokee...
Absolutely no doubt that much of our modern life relies on petroleum. I'm certainly not trying to eliminate it.
But today at work I started looking into slit paper for packaging fill instead of bubble wrap. 100% biodegradable. 100% recyclable. If it works just as well or better (which...
I'm not proposing doing away with petroleum - I've got old cars that still need gasoline!
I'm just asking people to take an honest, unbiased look at ALL the options. Right now electric is not for me (because of initial investment cost), but I'm willing to allow the technology to develop and...
Well it sure isn't the Exxon Valdez
I'm sure it's not the Deepwater Horizon:
Most assuredly not the Castillo de Bellver in 1983
Couldn't be the Nowrus oil field spill in 1983
Definitely not the Ixtoc 1 oil spill in 1979
Nah, oil is definitely eco friendly.
No, I think the whole EV thing really started in the late 80s and early 90s with GM leasing electric cars to people who really liked them. They had technology problems, and GM pulled them after the leases were up because gasoline was cheap again. Then in 2003 Tesla was created, with the idea to...
I never said E.V.s are 'green'. Never said that lithium mining was clean. I've been pretty open that the technology is new, and may evolve into something that is totally viable.
But then again, IC engines have always been cleaner, right? How about leaded gasoline, which may have lead to...
So Corvettes are evil too, then right? You can't open the doors on a Corvette if its battery is dead; well, unless you use the manual door opening lever, kind of like the manual door opening lever on a Tesla.
What am I to give up? The idea that people might consider different alternatives?
So which fuel is it for you? Is it gasoline that's also evil or diesel? Clearly there can be only one.
So you're mad because Georgia Power gives people a credit to install an E.V. outlet that allows Georgia Power to sell them more power? The outlet that YOU get paid to install? Clearly this makes E.V.s evil, because a private company is allowing someone a credit for having a plug installed; one...
