You bet several more issues. This ADM is nuts and has enough IGNORANT people and some that visit here behind him to send us to heck in a hand basket. FAST !! But I guess 78 million people can't be wrong (biden voters) or supposed voters?

I'd actually love to have a Tesla Truck once they fix the bugs as a run around trapping truck. It's not about disliking of EVs at all. The problem is that they are going to be the only means of transportation or at least no new petro vehicles on the road in many countries and some states here in the next decade for no reason other than militant virtue signalling and corruption. Nothing at all to do with safety, the environment, efficiency or superiority. Same can be said for most forms of renewable energy.

If EV's were that good of an idea, the gubbernment would not have to force them down peoples throats.

Zero emissions is a pipe dream. Still going to need fossil fuel to build the roads and other infrastructure , mine and log the resources, grow the food, move the freight, fly the rich, etc..........

When you need a solution to a problem, you can consult engineers familiar with the discipline in which the problem resides. To really muck things up, requires politicians. They are possibly the dumbest people on the planet, followed closely by entertainers and athletes.

Zero emission is bull crap. You just burn the fuel in a different place to produce the electricity that runs those things

I meant personal issues. If you’re that mad about something that doesn’t affect you and likely won’t for 10-20 years then you may have issues that need the help of a licensed professional.

It would not take much of an engineer to design an interchangeable battery of batteries that a robot quickly pulls out of your car and replaces, quicker than you can fill a large tank now at the pump.

Never ask an engineer to solve a problem. Ask him if your math checks out , but never to design it.

All industries employ a lot of engineers and pay them a lot of money to solve problems and design new systems, products,etc. Let them know they are wasting their money and they will reward you handsomely.

You have two types of engineers...the creatives and the type that fixes the former's convoluted messes. Many companies dont bring the latter type in until its too late.

I bought one of those electric turds, back when momma was still working. I thought it was pretty slick, but it spent more time at the shop that anything I had ever owned. Last time we got it out of the shop, I went to the chevy dealer and traded that turd off. Never again for me, all that angst for a couple more mpg's!

Very true. Engineers weren't on iceberg watch, piloting the ship or deciding on the number of lifeboats either. It was a nice try though.

Do you mean like an electric grid the vehicles ride on and continuously pull the necessary power from?

I think the real push in most cities will be for publicly owned vehicles that anyone can use for a small fee. Privately owned vehicles spend most of their time just parked, taking up space.

That's bigger picture thinking, Keith. Anything to keep her busy enough she doesn't have time to speak! We could all make a fortune by investing in crayons.

I will do like I always have done when something new comes along-wait a couple years til they get all the bugs worked out then try one out.
If its a benefit to me I'll buy one and use it.
As of now there are more and more showing up in the towns.
