They can get their electricity from Solyndra Energy.

Range matters... Elon Musk will tell you it doesn't, but 20min for a basic charge doesn't cut it. I'm not paying 100k for an electric F150 that can't go over 200 miles on a full charge, less miles if your towing or driving over 70mph against the wind.

Yep. Like going to a topless bar and saying it doesn’t matter they‘re topless. Said no one ever!

It amazes me how quickly someone will hard pass on Breitbart article quicker than they'll slurp up a CNN/MSNBC/WSJ article without even hesitant thought. NPCs, Hive minds. After all the BS they sold them over the past years.

Amen

though Breitbart has lost its luster since Andrew’s passing.

Similar story. GM has offered a buyout for all of their salaried workforce. All. The crazy woman running GM is all in on EV, others like Ford, have put them in their own money losing silo. GM is going down again, crazy ideas driven by Washington, not what the buyers want.

Can't lose what you never had

Ugh. Hard pass.

Was hoping it was a more legitimate source.

Oh, like CNN or MSNBC?

?‍ k, appreciate the meaningful input.

Nope. Not a fan of them either.

I find it very entertaining how everybody assumes that me calling out a particular news source as questionable means that I favor other questionable news sources instead. I don’t think anybody would argue that there are better places to get your information than from these kinds of outlets.

But don’t let facts get in the way of a good story.

I guess this thread is just destined to become another “EV bad” shitstorm. Just mentioning the term EV seems to trigger some people, and they’ve already started to show up, right on cue. Just like making a statement of “hey, I don’t trust this news source, can you provide a different one” seems to trigger people as well. It was my fault for thinking there was actually a decent conversation to be had here beyond this pettiness.

And please, don’t take this as an attack on anybody. It isn’t. It’s just me lamenting about how I wish we could do better as a community in this discussion.

It’s unfortunate that this topic always seems to get overrun by those who parrot incomplete or straight up bad information about it. We always seem to get scores of people who have no idea how business, development, or incentivizing actually works, and they always seem to show up here the loudest. And they always seem to go attack those whom they perceive disagree with them or might have a slightly different viewpoint.

One day we might have an earnest conversation about electric vehicles and the hurdles that manufacturers face as they roll them out. But clearly, it is not today.

I simply pity the willfully ignorant

But how about we stop throwing stones…it’s getting the already derailed thread nowhere

HAH! Here, for you

Breitbart readers are the neo-con versions of hipsters.

 

[Puch]

I’ve been trying to come up with a name for the JT?
How about Neohipster or Necohip?
Maybe I’ll just call it Breitbart??
