Guess you’ve never driven an EV and felt the awesome 100% instant torque, where you can already be at 40 mph while the gas car is barely moving off the line. They’re fun as can be. I just don’t understand why EV’s are hated here so much. I have 3 gas cars and one EV, and the EV is by far the most fun.

Perhaps FR is just becoming the “no fun” police in the same way Democrats have previously cornered that market the last few years.

I’d like it better if the Prius was travelling at 72 MPH in the fast lane on I-80, and the 50 cal was replaced with a Humvee mounted TOW, but still a great ad...

She's in Georgia. I-80 is pretty far away.

Ok, I am odd man out here. Its stupid to attack a car. It was stupid when people did it to Japanese cars in the early 80s, and it’s still stupid.
I drove a Prius as a rental once and it was way better than I ever expected. And best of all, the next day I stopped to fill it before I turned it in. I was pleasantly surprised at how fast the pump clicked off.

I remember one of those retarded events in the early 80s where they got a Japanese car to blow up. They were going to prove how shoddy it was compared to early 80s US made cars. They put a brick on the pedal and let it scream at redline.
They sat there as it screamed and screamed and screamed. But much to their disappointment, it just kept going and they had to attack it with bats.

Idiots.

I’m a conservative & also happen to have a little experience with Prius cars. I don’t particularly want to own one, but WILL NOT buy a full electric car. They look like trouble just waiting to happen. This opinion has to do with the actual construction of them, rather than a conservative viewpoint. I can’t afford any new car & certainly wouldn’t buy an overpriced electric even if I could afford one. That would put a used electric completely out of consideration. If they were to get the electric power grid up to speed, then a used electric car might be a consideration as a go-to-work vehicle if they were cheap enough & were satisfactory for cold weather operation. It would still be a real crapshoot owning one though.

"...I just don’t understand why EV’s are hated here so much."

I think that if the goobmint would have just let the EV's and their technology/market develop on their own, folks here would feel differently about them.

I’m with you. I got my wife a Prius because she’s tiny and likes tiny cars. It’s basically a Corolla with better gas mileage and an engine that wears about 30% less. After an ‘06 recently has its battery wear out, I replaced a couple cells for around $200. The regenerative breaks are crazy expensive to repair, too. But on the whole it’s a way better car than most compacts. And it doesn’t feel that small to drive when I have to drive hers. Except I wish she would move the seat back when she knows I’m going to drive. :-)

That’s true, and I agree that is bad, but they don’t always approach it from that angle. They often attack the idea of an EV directly.

I suspect that was more than a single .50 round downrange. Looks like some C4 perhaps?

Still, can’t say I don’t like the commercial, because I do.

Sure, the space station ... no issues with going over the horizon. The only gun I know of that could handle an over the horizon shot belongs to Ricochet Rabbit.
