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. :)

I won't be buying that monstrosity!  The V8 powered ZR2 looks absolutely gorgeous compared to that!!  And I'm not a lifted truck guy!

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
