Toaster ovens don’t have wheels.

Hasn’t Biden said that the electric cars will all be made by unionized workers? So it’s a way to funnel money to the unions, which then forward part of it to the Democratic Party.

Yes, of course there are gears inside the electric motor, and a shaft that goes to the left and right wheels.

Compare that to a traditional gearbox & transmission.

“After 100 feet you can read my license plate.”

Nope. And it wouldn’t be close, either.

Your rear wheel drive Mustang would spin out if you tried to generate the rotation needed to keep up with the electric car.

After a quarter mile, sure, because of the governor. Look up gas cars vs EV’s drag racing. The EV shoots out of the gate like crazy.

Try one.

Among Brandon’s destructive policies (anti-fossil fuel, anti-nuke energy, an open border, CRT, Covid, electoral theft, inflation), are we supposed to believe their EV policy, forcing society into unwanted EVs, is the one policy that’s in the best interest of the American people?

Freeper EV Evangelicals believe so.

Sad.

I hope I live to see the day when the presence of anyone who works for the fake “federal” “government” is met with taunts of “Fed!” and a shower of rotten eggs.

Not governor limited. Even the -E GT barely hits 100 in the quarter.

You are running just under 5 seconds 0-60. I am under 4 seconds 0-60.

You have 317 ft-lbs torque. I go twice that with ease plus I have a big weight advantage.

Both have losses due to friction.

Why rely on fossil-fuel-powered plants to charge them? Wind and solar powered cars! And if that fails, dogs and cats chasing around on an internal treadmill! That’s what made America great, by gum!/sarc for those who need to be told.

I’m being facetious here. You know, making a joke.

What I’m saying is I don’t want to be ‘’mandated’’ to have to drive I car I don’t want to own.

Yes, ‘’inappropriately applying humor to a serious matter ,incident, issue or concern. "Texas Gator'' huh? Do you have alligators in Texas, I wasn't aware of that or are you being ''facetious''?
