Reality check on electric cars

[Into the Night]

Says the guy just caught in his lie above.

What 'lie'? Void argument fallacy.

Type in charging stations with your zip and you will get dots all over the map. It is very easy to do.

Plenty of places to spend HOURS of your time waiting for your EV to charge!

but... but @gfm7175 says we should use logic and not search engines or AI as those can make mistakes and obviously traveling by logic you never make a mistake.

I generally don't. I already know the route I'm taking before leaving.

Then you click on the dot, and it tells you how many chargers are there and what their levels are. My son laughs about how easy it is to get an electric car when you travel. The antis make it so easy.

A charger is not a car, Sybil.

and the charging Technology continues to improve, as all technologies do, making fueling times for EV's competitive with and even faster than fueling times with ICE....

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Go study Ohm's law someday, Kewpie.

...deleted spam from China...

China promises all kinds of crap they can't deliver on!

Meanwhile in America the Trump Admin continues to use taxpayer money to pay green energy projects to shut down to enrich the Oil and Gas companies and keep America locked in the past and to keep countries like Iran in a position of power via Oil and gas over reliance, in a world market.

Trump spent nearly $2 billion of taxpayer money to undo wind projects already underway.​

Good. Wind power is the 2nd most expensive method of generating electric power, and is unreliable.

Trump to pay more companies to abandon offshore wind and invest in fossil fuels​

Fossils don't burn, Kewpie. They aren't used as fuel.

If you are tractor pulling, you might prefer an ICE. You are making a specific, narrow circumstance where ICEs are better and extrapolating it to the whole. I gave you real-world use of EVs. My son has 2 EVs. I have a hybrid. If you drive less than 50 miles a day, and that is true for 90 percent of people, you will almost never use gas, with a hybrid. My car's computer forces me to drive on gas every few months because it gets stale in my tank.

Argument from randU fallacies. Random numbers are not data, Sybil. Attempted proof by anecdote.

 

[Into the Night]

Forced sales. The year is 2026.

 

[Into the Night]

Less than result from the heavily subsidized ICE market which is subsidized at almost every level, from the fuel to the vehicles.

It is not subsidized, Kewpie.

 

[Into the Night]

Yup.

Tesla is dead as a car company

The Tesla Model Y is the best selling EV vehicle, Kewpie.

and that is why Elon is pivoting to 'robots and AI',

Not a pivot, Kewpie. Additional business.

and rolling all his companies into one,

He isn't.

to try and preserve the ridiculous Tesla share price on the NEXT BIG THING, he will not win on.

The best selling EV is the Tesla Model Y, Kewpie.

Elon is a master promoter and brilliant at seeing where the money is going and putting a company in the way of that but his ability to operate is more and more in question. To be fair, Space X and his satellite company seem solid for now, but so did tesla at its early years.

Tesla is the best selling EV, Kewpie.

Starlink is constantly improving. It provides for internet anywhere in the U.S.; even remote areas. A mobile system can be obtained to maintain internet connectivity even while you travel cross country. More satellites are constantly being added, improving overall bandwidth.

Optimus has the best hand design in the business. It isn't the first to market, but it will be in my opinion the best. It uses Grok AI for navigation and cross-learning.

Elon Musk is also developing autonomous vehicles for use as airport shuttles. A good application for them. You might be riding one of these someday!

It is pretty hilarious the way AI fouls up! I've seen it tell people to use train tracks for cars, direct 'em down a dead end or dirt road thinking it's a through road, direct a car to drive off a dock in to the water, etc.

Nuthin' like Google Maps!

It truly is quite funny! Out of curiosity of how accurate it would be, I messed around with it for planning a day at a park and it was warning me about a "current" construction project that I had known was actually completed years prior. I got a good laugh out of that one.

It DOES seem to have real trouble with that!
