    I remember a certian group of people who claimed electric cars were a fad..

    https://www.theguardian.com/environm...europe-by-2035

    A certian group of people here on GFY, you you the global warming denial types were very sure that this whole electric thing would go away. They often said the Telsa was just a novelty, said no one would build enough charging stations, ect..ect.

    Seems they were wrong..

      Driving around Europe on a battery would be a lot easier than trying to do that here.

                  Which came into existence first electricity or oil?

                      Oil it is not only Oil. It is else Dollars.

                      Dollars & Drama - Oil Trading From World War II To Today...And What's Next

                      Beginning around 2009, reports began surfacing that several major oil producing nations, including China and members of the Gulf Co-operation Council, were discussing the creation of their own oil benchmarks to challenge the dominance of the US dollar. And this past summer, China announced the imminent creation of a yuan-based benchmark. The Shanghai-based contract will compete in the oil futures market, which directly threatens the US dollar's 40-year role in the global oil market.

                              I have 3x 120w flexible panels on my vw van with 420ah of batteries for when I go road tripping. Hd TV, fridge/freezer led lights, ect..ect Never once had my power go out..lol

                              Im waiting until its viable to build a electric van. There is one guy that just put a Telsa drive train in one but it,'s only 2wd. I want mine to be 4wd but needs to be a better charge station network before I can go that route.

                                  Yes, and thats too bad. If only you could contact someone in your local government to ask why its like this, and ask when it will change?

                                  It would be faster, lighter, and would handle better. Why would it suck again?

                                  And more EV's will mean the shitboxes they have parked on their front lawns might actually go up in value. EV's are a win win win win for everyone.

                                      Ferrari has stated they will never make an electric car. I believe they said "Our clients like the sound and feel of a real motor engine". This might be true, but electric cars - starting with Tesla - can match Ferrari performance. I love Ferrari, but at a certain point Ferrari and other exotic cars will not be able to complete with electric cars.

                                      I look at it this way.... My old Mustang Cobra was fast for it's time, but now any run of the mill Mustang can match it.

                                      The only way Ferrari will survive is by it's styling and luxury.

                                          You won't explain that to EV retards .. the sound of a nice V-engine is one of the reasons to buy a sports car. It's about emotions, driving skills, thrill.

                                          Drivers don't want a fucking EV with autopilot and 150 assistants. It's awkward and only good for idiots that can't fucking drive.

                                              Not true at all...you have these things called enthusiasts and we dont care if its slower...as long as it has a combustion engine we will buy it. No enthusiast is going to be all for their new electric sports car that you cant mod. I cant even begin to imagine "tuning" an electric car...you would over lower both the the battery and motor expectancy significantly.

                                                          Must not be much of an enthusiast.

I want the sound and the thrill for myself, who fucking cares what others think. I will buy petrol cars as long as it's possible, because I like them.

Not only are the electric vehicles worse for the environment when you factor in mining for the batteries, they are a taxpayer ripoff. Tesla exists only because they got 5 billion taxpayer dollars.

                                                                                      You people seem oblivious to the fact that not all combustion engines run on fossil fuels. You know a diesel engine can burn plant-based fuel too, right? Hemp fuel burn 90% cleaner. The solution is farmers growing energy crops, not destructive mining to make batteries.

                                                                                      Once again Crockett science = epic fail.

I want the sound and the thrill for myself, who fucking cares what others think. I will buy petrol cars as long as it's possible, because I like them.

                                                                                                  Why do you need a minim van?

Not only are the electric vehicles worse for the environment when you factor in mining for the batteries, they are a taxpayer ripoff. Tesla exists only because they got 5 billion taxpayer dollars.

                                                                                                      You people seem oblivious to the fact that not all combustion engines run on fossil fuels. You know a diesel engine can burn plant-based fuel too, right? Hemp fuel burn 90% cleaner. The solution is farmers growing energy crops, not destructive mining to make batteries.

                                                                                                      Once again Crockett science = epic fail.

Think about that real hard and get back to us on your conclusion as to why you think that might happen.. I know you can do it but if you need help maybe we can get Conway's flash cards out to help yea!

We've come a long way in a very short time and changes like this happen much faster than one would expect. There are still people living today who would have grown up when horses and buggys were a common sight.

                                                                                                                                          I was always a Trans-am guy. I owned about 10 of them between 1987 and 2001, the last production year.



                                                                                                                                          When Camaro's came around I bought one in 2010



                                                                                                                                          ... then another. My last Camaro was a fucking sick beast : 2SS RS 1LE 550HP V8 Roar mobile.



                                                                                                                                          (Yes, I love the color grey for cars).

                                                                                                                                          I totally understand the romantic enthusiasm people have for the sound of a V8. Personally, I prefer the low hz rumble of a V8 than a high pitch wine of a 4 cyl any day. It is very safe to call me a V8 or F-car enthusiast. I get it. I understand. I know and appreciate the hard-on that a V8 can give any dude.

                                                                                                                                          Now that being said, the sound and the rumble is only 1 small part of the car that anyone can love. You can also love the styling, handling, braking and especially performance. Would you agree?

                                                                                                                                          Lets talk about performance. EV's like the Model S easily beat most V8's in a race, but you know this already as do most everyone else. EV's accelerate like crazy.

                                                                                                                                          What you may not know is that many EV cars can out perform V8's too, simply because the center of gravity is lower to the ground thanks to the battery. EV's corner like they're riding on rails and if you don't believe me, I challenge you to go to a Tesla gallery and ask for a test drive. You won't fucking believe it.

                                                                                                                                          So now: Imagine a performance car thats fun to drive, beats most V8's on the road and corners like a beast, but with the V8 roar replaced with silence. That's what an EV is.

                                                                                                                                          It's awkward and only good for idiots that can't fucking drive.
                                                                                                                                          There were 35,000 deaths due to accidents in the USA in 2015: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...n_U.S._by_year

                                                                                                                                          Maybe you don't need autopilot, but maybe others do. Even if you never get one, autopilot driving someone elses car might save them from crashing into you one day.

                                                                                                                                          Anyway, I grew out of V8's and switched to EV's. To be 100% honest, I miss my Camaro, and always check out the other Camaros & Vettes that roar by, but I'm now 100% EV and will stay that way. Of course EV's aren't for everyone depending where you live and where you need to drive every day, but I urge you to at least go to a dealer and check them out. It can't hurt.

                                                                                                                                          Cheers!

                                                                                                                                                                                                  Lift the federal ban on industrial hemp farming. Encourage farmers to grow it. Use it for fuel, food, and thousands of green products.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  to get 50 gallons of plant oil per year you need 10.000 squaremeters land.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  Americans used about 392 million gallons of gasoline per day in 2016

                                                                                                                                                                                                  now count a bit and after that tell me WHERE you find the land what you need for your "intelligent project" and even WHEN you find the land where do you plant all the other important agriculture products ?

                                                                                                                                                                                                  you anwsers and thoughts are so immature that you can see from it alone how little you know from things you're talking about.
