More bullshit from LyinBitch. Do me a favor. Read this:
Electric Vehicle Sales Up by 333% YoY In the First Half of 2022

Making up numbers isn't helping you. Special pleading fallacies isn't helping you either.

This is from a FORD DEALERSHIP:

'WHAT MAINTENANCE IS NECESSARY FOR MY ELECTRIC VEHICLE?
Ford Mustang Mach-E on the Road
As aforementioned, very little is necessary. Simply due to the lack of a combustion engine. '

https://www.lafayetteford.com/what-a...-electric-car/


THIS IS FROM KIA'S U.S. WEBSITE:

'The simple answer is: Electric vehicles require considerably less maintenance than fuel-powered cars.'

https://www.kia.com/eu/about-kia/exp...ric-cars-need/


'As a rough estimate, electric vehicles have about 1/10th of the ongoing requirement for repair and replacement parts.'

https://seekingalpha.com/article/417...ail-auto-parts



True or False?

The average EV requires FAR, less maintenance than the average ICE?

False authority fallacy. Sales brochures don't talk about the costs of maintenance except for sales purposes. It has nothing to do with actual costs.

[Into the Night]

Nobody is arguing over maintenance costs. Some of us aren't ready to have our transportation limited buy other people's whims. We prefer choices.

I am. He's getting his numbers from sales brochures and often just making up numbers. He is completely ignoring the costs of maintaining any new car.

[Into the Night]

T. A. Gardner was arguing over maintenance costs.

And I am simply showing him that - like 'em or hate 'em - the average EV vehicle requires FAR, less maintenance than the average ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicle of similar size, weight and power.




I agree with that.
I think the government should stay the FUCK out of the ENTIRE auto market (as well as the ENTIRE economy).
I despised the fact that Tesla was given huge breaks by the Obama government.

And the tax breaks are ludicrous.
The average person that buys an EV is upper middle class to wealthy.
Thus, these EV tax breaks are tax breaks for the wealthy.

However?
I LOVE the performance of EV's.
The instant, throttle response.
I love the low maintenance.
The environmental part is fine - though that matters little to me.

But they are too expensive right now for most people.
However, I believe when and if GM can/will build a solid EV (like the Chevy Bolt) for $20K?
They will have a HUGE hit on their hands.
Without ANY silly, tax breaks.

No, EV's have maintenance like any car. The big difference with EV's is that maintenance is typically performed by the dealer. EXPENSIVE!

Nice. Note that this meter is not in use. It's a proposal.

Jealousy is an ugly thing, ExcessLies.

Jealousy?? No. I would rather keep the ability to refuel my car in mere minutes. They are cheaper to buy and maintain too.

[Into the Night]

No, they don't.

Yes they do.

When EVs are ubiquitous, the Chunnel Train won't be needed since EVs don't produce noxious fumes.

You consider CO2 a 'noxious fume'?????!? You consider water vapor a 'noxious fume'??????!?

Why would a car replace the Chunnel train?????!?

[Into the Night]

Those EVs are all running on fossil fuels.

No such thing. EVs are charged from sources like coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear, hydroelectric, or other fuels. Fossils are not a fuel.

[Into the Night]

Yes we all know you are jealous of MAGA. I already own a EV. It's called a golf cart

I don't even like electric golf carts. They are wimpy and require recharging all the time.

[Into the Night]

No they're not. They run on electricity, moron.

How do they get that electricity, moron????!?

20% of America's energy sources are NOT FROM FOSSIL FUELS (nuclear and renewables).

ZERO percent. Fossils aren't used as fuel. Fossils don't burn.

Both oil and natural gas are renewable fuels.
Nuclear is not.
Coal is unknown, but it plentiful and cheap. So far indications are that it might be a renewable fuel.

[Into the Night]

You wish you could own a Tesla like me. But all you can afford is a golf cart. So sad.

Please stop wishing you were me. Remember: Thou shalt not covet...

Gaslighting.

With a Tesla, going anywhere but the dealer has severe limitations. Tesla controls all their source code for the software and won't share it with non-dealer shops. You are forced to go to the dealer. They've started doing the same with some parts for the same reason. Tesla gives you no right to repair.

Why would I want a Tesla? The worst quality, least reliable, car in America, not to mention I need a truck for the stuff I do and Tesla doesn't offer one. They did prototype that hideous POS one that they're not making--thankfully...

This is a Dark Age.

A dark age would have collapsing communication and trade networks. I still remember when I was a kid, and to communicate internationally cost an arm and a leg. Now I do it for free.
