“But to call into questions some one’s manhood is pretty queer.”

It’s a manipulative technique used by teenage girls.

“What about manly women?”

I still see a lot of young women driving trucks and Jeeps and their vehicles are in better shape than what some of the “manly” men are driving. I have to smile when I see them bouncing down the road the way they do.

Correct!! But not for the reasons you’d expect!!

That actual reason is the knowledge your fellow manly man would think you’re a moron for doing something so stupid!!

and how soon will it be deemed a hate crime to laugh at men driving an ev? or, more likely, while they wait for it to charge?

I’d say a man in a car that can go from 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds is pretty manly.

Zero to recharged in 3.5 hours.....

Real men have common sense. Liberal “things” not certain of their gender are freaks of nature and buy vehicles based on emotions and climate change.

Men who lack confidence seem more likely to go along with stupid official narratives such as electric vehicles being a better choice.

No, this “manly man” doesn’t think that EVs are ready for outside the posh urban areas.

I will stick with my evil gasoline-powered pee-cup! The closest I ever got was a Prius, which did me fine. I passed it on to my son.

Aw yes, the old “insult them” trick.

Maybe what they call “manly men” are just guys who can put 2 and 2 together and figure out that electric cars are a scam and worthless.

My wife and I were discussing that on our last roadtrip. Just for kicks and to check off a few more states, we road tripped from Maryland to Wyoming a couple months ago.

4500 miles over 9 days. No way we could pull that off with a coal powered battery car.

In the next few weeks, for my job I’ll be driving and pulling a trailer to Orlando, Maine and Wichita, Kansas. All separate trips.

Yea, I’m gonna stop for a couple hours every 75 miles. Dream on lefty’s

All kinds of math.

Including what’s required to safely plug in the damn thing at home.

No, it would just brand them as a dumbass.

Chicks don’t dig dumbasses, especially smart chicks.

If it weren’t for the manly men nobody would push the electric vehicles off to the side of the road.

90% of electric vehicles are still on the road the other 10% made it home.

I would get an electric car, except I don’t have the requisite “manjina”.
