The only way charging is free in California is if you have solar panels to provide 100% of your homes' energy needs, and use that to recharge your EV.  I know somebody who does that with their Tesla Model Y, but only after paying thousands of dollars to install solar panels.

 

And, I doubt military families would fall under your definition of "pensioner".  If even argue that they do more for you than you do for them.  One of the things they have to to deal with is relocating every couple of years.  EVs are not suitable vehicles for them.  Driving across the country, vehicle loaded, time constraints mandated by military leadership, etc.  EVs are nothing more than electric scooters at Walmart.  You use them to go a short distance then return them to the plug so they can be used again.  And, with EV charging stations taking up the front of the parking stalls, like handicap stalls, and needing an equal amount of space for the charging station too, the electric scooter at the grocery store is a fair and adequate comparison.  Every seen Disney's movie Wall-E?  Sort walking distances from the parking lot to the Jazzy scooter encourage being a fatso.

The public charging stations are what I was talking about that are free.

 

That's what I've been saying EVs are this entire time...

 

I did post a Dodge Demon vs Tesla Plaid I figure that is pretty apples to apples. Don't really know why you are getting all in a huff I was mainly talking to TNT lol

 

And no the golf cart was just a 3 wheeled red golf cart. No speakers and steel wheels. Used it to drive around the neighborhood and on the golf course haha

You know what, just had a thought.  GM should have put a midgate in it and called it AVALANCHE (blue E obviously).  This is a huge missed opportunity to bring back the Avalanche as an exciting EV opti

I'm just saying if you never trade it in then depreciation is not ownership cost at that point. Trading it in yes but if you keep it then no.   Undesirable vehicle is up to the owner. I woul

It not horrible looking, but I am not interested in one of these. We don't have the surplus here in Iowa for EV's yet, plus I am not waiting around for 3-4 hours to charge my truck when I need to get

Just by a 4.3.

 

My last trip to dads 200 miles away I had to stop twice to take gas out of it. The high level alarm kept coming on. I sold the surplus gas and bought dad a steak and a beer. It also took so much CO2 out of the air than evergreens turned blue. A dozen children in third world countries we spared slave labor and several oil wells in Texas quit fracking. It really is an amazing motor. Only took me 30 minutes to make the trip. Could have got there faster but I was towing a 55 footer full of AMSOIL drums into a 100 mph headwind. Scales said I was over 60,000 lbs. Did I mention my hair grew back?

2 things happen, successively, when I get in a huff.  The first is swearing, but that hasn't happened yet.  You don't want to know the second one.  We have laws against it.  Be happy I'm not in a huff.

 

With that said, all I did was state facts.  I don't know TNT anymore than I know you.  However, that's not going to stop me from calling a duck a duck.  Numbers-wise the Dodge and the Tesla don't match up.  Even if the Tesla Plaid and Bugatti Chiron lined up, I wouldn't be surprised if the Chiron lost.  EVs have the advantage with torque.  Torque wins races, not horsepower.  However, the closest comparison we can get is with horsepower.

 

Sorry to hear about your golf cart.  The one I described was preferable, imo.  And, golf courses are a waste of perfectly good long distance shooting ranges, imo.

And here I thought I was on his ignore list.

 

Lots I could say here, but I'll save the roasting for another place.  So I'll leave it with this: it's spelled B-U-Y.  🤣

I like playing golf. It's fun and laidback.

Was browsing the web today and happened to run into this photo which is apparently a leaked photo of the new Silverado EV that supposed to be released tomorrow. Thoughts?

That sweeping rear windshield aft thingie looks like my 2020 Ridgeline I sold for the Trail Boss Custom. For long haul or high drain when we can make range extending electricity on board if needed then we are golden with these units.  Thats probably sooner than we think.  One of my old employers is using hydrogen generation units (on board) trains and HD trucks already, mostly in EU for now.  Electromotive has been doing that for years with diesel electric, not to mention submarines. Scale and efficiency are being developed that will open that door.  IMO.

Interesting that on this truck GM did what i have been asking! Keep the shifter stick but shorten it up like the Benzes. I actually think this interior is nicer then the refresh 23 models. Just my opinion. :)

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
