Top reasons to buy an electric car instead of a gas vehicle. MAGA wets panties.

Is Toyota making EVs?
At the high end of the increased projection, Toyota would be producing over 190,000 of the EVs per year. By comparison, Toyota sold just under 86,000 of the standard hybrid Prius hatchback in 2021.

Tesla's losses are all about supply chain issues, you know the stuff you blame on Biden!

Toyota has announced they are getting out of the EV market.
Tesla's losses are due to costs.

Thanks for simply ignoring the bulk of the post to focus on just the first sentence.

The remainder of your post is just repetition. I already responded to your chants.

In 2021, a little more than 5% of all light-duty vehicle sales were electric. Over 20% of all passenger vehicles sales include electric vehicles. This means that for every five vehicles bought during 2021, one was an electric vehicle. These numbers don’t even include EV sales globally, showing just how popular electric vehicles are becoming.

Fiction.

Less than 1% of the cars on the road today are EVs.

Electric cars have many desirable features, and need only to solve the long distance trip charging problems.
If you only drive them locally, they seem like a good idea. You've got all night to charge them.

The problem is cultural. Some of us are still around who loved the big, dirty running, fuel thirsty, noisy, and powerful V8 internal combustion engines
for reasons that have little to do with meeting basic transportation needs. For purely aesthetic and cultural reasons.

A cheap digital watch tells time as well as a Rolex, and you've got your cell phone and don't need a watch at all. But if you want a Rolex, you want a Rolex and
knowing the time of day has little to do with it.

Soon, those of us who grew up either finally getting or continuing to lust for 19 foot long luxury highway cruisers, big block Corvettes, and macho pickups, even though we do office work,
will all be gone. Then the electric cars will smoothly roll into place.

You DON'T have all night to charge them if the power goes out, a problem becoming more common in the SDTC.
A V8 engine can pull more, haul more, and be more efficient than an EV.

How many people my age bought Teslas?

My primary car is a big, hemi-powered Grand Cherokee .
I didn't really want a car like that at first, but they discontinued the body-on-frame Lincoln Town Car and left me no choice.
Well, I tried a 2012 Caddy, a unibody piece of shit nothing like the Town Car, and it genuinely sucked, so Jeep it was.
A totally new direction for me, but still an already obsolete one.

My summer, get me to the golf course car is a vintage Corvette, the fuel consumption of which is measured in gallons per mile.
I, however, am 76 years old. When my gang is finally all gone, the resistance to electric vehicles will also be gone--
except for people influenced by the fossil fuel industry.

There is no fossil fuel industry. Fossils aren't used as fuel. Fossils don't burn.

You can 'easily' store 15-20 gallons of gas in your garage? Go for it.

No problem.

And you feel that is safer than having an EV in your garage in terms of overall flammability?

Yes.

Gas has a shelf life. It can cause problems if it sits too long. Yeah, leaks and fires can happen. The smell will happen.

What smell? What leaks?
Why would anyone store gasoline and not use it?

No need. I don't have to do your footwork for you.

OMG....you are a treat. I bet at the crack house you are the lead "intellecshul"

 

[Saint Guinefort]

Yes.

Why store it if you need to use it immediately? The entire idea is to keep it for future use. Do you have an ICE? Do you not know about gasoline smells on hands and spills.

 

[Nordberg]

No need. I don't have to do your footwork for you.

Of course, you do. Your claim, your proof.

I do every day. Garage is where the car lives. Just like my entire neighborhood.
more like 12-15 gallons, not a huge tank.

I usually use it withing a few months at most. Are you trying to make a point?

Do you have an ICE?

RQAA.

Do you not know about gasoline smells on hands and spills.

I don't wash my hands in gasoline. There is no spill and no reason for it to. Are you trying to make a point?

 

[Into the Night]

Of course, you do. Your claim, your proof.

Go do your own footwork, ya lazy ass.
