Agree!
Or no energy, no cows no milk nor cheese, no polyesters, no plastic, no asphalt roads
Screw that!
I am shocked!!!
I do like that image! Will save and have available
for my next conversation at the public EV charging stations.
And yes, Tesla owners sure are a haughty bunch, IMO.
Yes !

Greenies lack a chromosome.
Only a few EV owners are able to get into details. Mostly Gen X’ers in their mid-life crisis who got an EV because they are sporty to drive, but in typical male Gen X or Baby Boomer fashion didn’t buy the car without first getting a grip on the specs for driving and charging and such like we do about ICE cars (mpg, tank size, how easy it is to reach spark plus, etc.) LOL
Still faster to fill up with gas. And there are more gas pumps than charging stations (which you have to wait in line for-which will be longer than 10 minutes.)
Every horse will be fitted with a catalytic converter on its anus to reduce global warming.
EV’s can work for daily commute to work in a bigger city. Beyond that, EV’s do not make any rational sense for several more decades to come.
Makes sense... :)
Of course, that assumes the trips are in areas that have plenty of fast road-side chargers to choose from. Which we have from Alabama heading most directions (since the eastern portion of the U.S. is somewhat densely populated). We're even talking about a possible road trip to New England and Canada to watch the fall foliage change as we slowly head back -- that long trip has plenty of charging options.
But if we head northwest from here, or due west any further than east Texas, we'll take the ICE pickup because those areas have few chargers. The same for if I go on a trip without my wife (which I haven't done since we bought the EV a year ago) since I'd rather drive longer than 200 miles between stops, and when I stop I feel like I'm running late if the stop takes longer than 5 minutes. LOL
I'm sure that's the case in some areas, particularly areas that have lots of EV owners living in apartments (can't charge at home). I haven't experienced that here. Perhaps because EV's are less popular in the southeast (because I live in Alabama, just about any trip we count short enough to drive to instead of fly to is going to be in or near the southeast). And perhaps because the EV owners we have here tend to be home owners who charge at home (thus most EV owners at chargers are just the few who are on trips). Or perhaps because the weather is warm and, therefore, we don't have the slower charging that comes in bitter cold weather up north making the EV owners ahead of me still there.
The end result, we've had our EV for a year, put 26K miles onto it, and I've yet to have to wait in line at a charger. To be clear, the first few times I charged it I had to figure out what to do. But after those first few times, it's a 10-15 minute stop, which is how long my wife wants to walk around when she asks to stop every 200 miles anyway even when we take the ICE pickup.
At least, that's my experience. I can think of many situations where an EV wouldn't be good, especially if you're single and need just one car (because there are situations where only an ICE car will do).
Someone should tell the greenies that all the plastics and synthetics in their EVs are made from oil.
This!
Don’t forget the tires they have on them better not be made out of oil.
Yes, yes. Sustainable cars require sustainable tires, components, AND sustainable fuel. Accept no substitutes.
If the people pushing this snake oil were honest, 100% correct. But they're not, so they aren't.
