So the same people who want to use the force of govt to  mandate EV's on everyone are now burning EV's and  EV charging infrastructure.  Am I wrong?  Also if the Astronauts who have been rescued after 9 months in space thank Elon Musk, are they now Nazi sympathizers?

People tend to change their mind when reality punches them in the face a few times.

To give liberals a bone here conservatives switched up on EV's just as fast. It went from being gay and liberal to something good all because of musk.

I'm pretty sure the people such as myself who hate EV's still hate them and aren't buying one. I pretty much hate any car, ICE or EV  built after the year 2010.  Horrid plastic tech garbage in my opinion.

Did you know, that a narrow passage of water between two larger areas of water is not necessarily straight.

Did you get that?


And interesting how we lived without the internal combustion engine for 2 million years, then suddenly we were dependant upon them.

Same goes for all new gizmos...Such as any electrical gadgets, IT tech, guns and other fighting kit etc.etc.


And old geezers with old ideas, often protest against change...Doesn't prevent it though.

Elon Musk gets government handouts yet he is shutting down many government agencies.

He wants to shut his government contracts down. Then he can sell more cars to people that can use them.

I am all for change but not for the sake of change. You want me to endorse the change you have to prove the change is better. Cars have changed, but not for the better in my opinion. They have become over complicated disposable over priced piles of shit.

So is your thumb [it can kill a number of ways]. So, should we ban cars, guns, and thumbs? What else?

Yeah, I saw that, too, but since you already straitened sado out, I didn't bother. Good call.

Yea, this is how you know what they really cared about.

Were they really afraid of carbon dioxide? No.

They always just hated humanity, and an environmentalist that solves environmental problems is pure cognitive dissonance for them. They want to be told that there is no hope but less humans.

That was true before this terrorism started, the terrorism is mindless violence against a perceived enemy, but the reason they have no compunctions is because they never really felt comfortable with solutions.

Thing is, Planet Earth currently has 8.2 billion human organisms fu*king about without any clue as to why they are fu*king about.

What we do know is that we are the architects of an era of exponential material evolution and change, but seemingly with no cohesive social and environmental strategy.

Are we programmed this way this way for a reason?...Is the question that I continually ask.



So like me sadolite, you were programmed back in the 60's and 70's when the internal combustion engine was King.

But we forget how unreliable it was back then and just remember the good old days .


And I will be honest and say, that new techno gizmos have largely surpassed my ability to assimilate...So I hold back untrustingly from the EV too.

But that's because I'm an aging git, with an aging onboard computer, and not because new disposable techno stuff is necessarily overcomplicated, nor is it more expensive in comparative terms.

It just fu*ks with our heads.


When I was a kid we were still using hand drills and screwdrivers, and then I got a drill that plugged into the mains and now I have one with a rechargeable battery, that both drills and drives.

What on Earth next sadolite?


Such is the ongoing human need to make holes...LOL

Clever stupid.

You seem to think I am only for technology made when I was a small child 55 years ago. Not the case.

Climate alarmism is thoroughly infested with rabid Luddites and Malthusians. It's a wonder there isn't more eco-terrorism.

Same here.

As with the drill, I choose relative to practicality and necessity.

But personal transport mechanisms are a bigger more expensive consideration...And like me you find it difficult to make the change to the new style equipment.

So my thoughts against, are chiefly about the durability of EV systems and the accessibility and speed of charging systems....And of course, cost.

And I certainly wouldn't consider buying a second hand EV.

I also would never buy a second hand drill driver, but new ones are as cheap as chips anyway.

You do know Tesla is not the only company that makes EV's right?
