The future of EVs? Maybe not so bad?

Newsom should become President so we can have more California ideas sweep over our country. Electric cars, electric airplanes, electric boats, electric heat………..no limits on what we can electrify. Just don’t use your stuff during normal business hours and we will all be fine.

This just in… please do not charge your electric vehicles over the holiday weekend due to extreme temperatures and stress on the electrical distribution grid. This is from PG&E.

it’s obvious you’ve never experienced the neck jarring of a Tesla launch stop bullshitting about tree hugging we drive these cars cause they make corvettes
Look silly. When the “production sedan “ launches and you can’t breath that s why most people buy EV’s not cause we want to save the planet. Hahahah makes me laugh

Come on, a friggin Prius can only top 80 going down hill.
 
My workmate will be picking up his new Tesla on Tuesday. I can hardly wait to go for a ride, as it posts a 0-60 time of 4.1 seconds. As a comparison, my Mustang with the Ecoboost turbo engine runs 5.5 seconds, and it's no slouch. To make this even worse (for me), he's looking at a software upgrade that'll run 3.5 seconds, but the stock tires aren't up to the task. And, if that isn't enough, it has a range somewhere around 400 miles. He currently drives a late-model VW diesel that's been giving him a lot of grief, so he's looking forward to having something that doesn't require the upkeep. He commutes about 90 miles round trip, and will be using solar panels on his shop roof to charge it. No, he's no tree hugger; like me, he just likes tecky stuff.

I’ll be happy when Governor Youngkin divorces Virginia from that stupid law that ties us to California. Ralph Northam was and is an idiot.

What kind of special idiots lack the balls to implement their own policies and just tie themselves to another state?

Actually 17 states have adopted California Emissions standards.
Currently all new cars purchased in those states are certified to California emissions.

And any vehicle certified as “PZEV” comes with a 15 year 150,000 mile emissions warranty.

Not to be a generalist but a funny Prius story -
Florida highway 46 between Sanford and Mims is a two lane 55 MPH stretch through the swamps about 25 miles. I was behind a Prius in my Challenger Hellcat Redeye. When traffic was heavy coming toward us the Prius driver would slow to 40 MPH then when it cleared, he sped up to 60. It was infuriating and looked intentional. So a break comes for a legal pass, I pull out to pass and the dude speeds up and continues to 80 MPH so I pull back in behind him and he reduces back to 40. Next opportunity - he speeds up again and I've had enough, pull out and at 70 MPH my car is smoking the back tires and I blow by that bastard at over 130; and I mean I really blow by the dude. My caretaker tells me after the pass sitting in the passenger seat that she looks over and there it was - scrawny middle aged with a ponytail and mask on all by itself in a Prius.
