I said, or perhaps meant, that it’s ridiculous that people complain about the price of gas to drive their enormous vehicles by themselves to downtown. I get that for some people these vehicles are utilitarian, but others want to eat their cake and have it too. You can buy whatever monstrosity...

Nobody said that no one needs a pickup

Sure there’s some outliers but works fine for the vast majority, these guys drove a Model 3 across Canada in Feb to show that. https://driveteslacanada.ca/news/charge-across-canada-live-tracker-updates/

For most EVs the charging locations are integrated with the navigation so the car does this planning for you, and some of them preheat the battery when it knows you’re going there to charge. For me, the kids need to stop more frequently and for longer than what’s required to charge, YMMV. Works...

They have this new device that you can attach to many other vehicles to accomplish these tasks. I get it if you’re going to Home Depot daily, but most people aren’t doing that. https://canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/stirling-galvalume-plus-utility-trailer-5-ft-x-7-ft-0408093p.html

That’s not what it looks like based on even the slightest bit of research. It’s absurd that you’re feigning concern about mining in a different place but you’re OK with magnitudes more of the same in your own backyard...

https://electrek.co/2022/04/22/tesla-using-cobalt-free-lfp-batteries-in-half-new-cars-produced/ I still don’t see why you’re OK with strip-mining in Alberta but not some other place that you’ve never heard of.

That’s a weird statistic. The average loan recipient is female. Is that like 51% of them are female? That would be consistent with the population…

I see. Well maybe I can interest you in one of these EVs. https://scootersdirect.ca/collections/fortress-mobility-scooters/products/fortress-1700-dt-ta-4-wheel?variant=39311644164177&gclid=Cj0KCQiAm5ycBhCXARIsAPldzoVgt4dI_PGWyegDh6Ne6dOJSYg-m_toi9yUwzFGHn00QtC75Op5ErkaAnrrEALw_wcB

I guess that would be useful if you wanted to take your mining dump truck home at night. Alternatively, if you live at the bottom of the hill you could take some rocks home and dump them on the lawn, decorative rocks are a thing.

🙄 here’s the degradation history of every Tesla ever built, sorry it’s 18 months old and stops at 200,000 miles, luckily that’s as far as you want. https://electrek.co/2020/06/12/tesla-data-battery-degradation-limited-mileage-packs-equal/

This one’s neat, they say it never needs to be charged… it’s taking the payload downhill and going uphill when it’s empty. Otherwise physics and stuff… law of conservation of energy...

Everyone who owns a Kenworth thinks that Peterbuilt is Junk, I assume the opposite is also true.

I don’t understand your argument. You’re concerned about “strip mining” in other countries, that isn’t actually taking place, but you’re OK with strip mining in Alberta because… here’s where I’m lost, it seems inconsistent.

Again, lithium comes from salt brine, the open pit mine popular on social media that purports to be an “open pit lithium mine” is actually a copper mine. I don’t know what you’re smoking but nobody is trying to get rid of internal combustion engines just to ‘stick it to the little guy’...

it also costs $20k to get the engine in your Hyundai replaced if you take it to the dealer and want a new one. But nobody does that, you get a used one or get it rebuilt. Similarly, there are companies that will rebuild your battery in the unlikely event that it fails outside of warranty. Most...

Just do the flypast

So then 400,000 kms on the first battery (replaced under warranty) is enough for you? The electric motors are not terribly expensive and they’ve made some improvements in lubrication since those originals were produced...
