The OFFICIAL Everything Tesla/EV Argument Thread
GSC3 and Phred can preach their Tesla/EV love here and tell us all how great EVs are and how bad ICE cars are so those arguments don't clog up other threads. The potential topics are almost endless:
- What's best for a hot meal, WaWa or Buc-ee's? - Is your home TV or car touch screen better for movies and video games? - Do you let anyone eat or drink anything in your car? - Refueling, which is better; 45 minutes or 5 minutes? - How often do you drag race your SUV? - Real pickup or Cybertruck for a work truck? - Do you fill your gas tank full or stop at 80%? - Does stopping at a gas station for 5 minutes once/week annoy you? There are lots more. Go! |

EVs are quick. They do not solve any issue and are dumb.

Next time you meet someone who is itching to tell you about his EV, tell him that it's a coal burner.

EV's have their place in the automobile world. There are a few things I like
about EV's. The problem is all the BS that EV'ers and the government has been pushing, is a big negative for this new brand. The public can still think for themselves and do not like to be pushed into buying a product. |

Fact or Fiction?: Energy Can Neither Be Created Nor Destroyed Is energy always conserved, even in the case of the expanding universe? "The law of conservation of energy, also known as the first law of thermodynamics, states that the energy of a closed system must remain constant—it can neither increase nor decrease without interference from outside. The universe itself is a closed system, so the total amount of energy in existence has always been the same. The forms that energy takes, however, are constantly changing." LINK TO FULL ARTICLE |

Until an EV can tow 40,000lbs, 550 miles without stopping, for under $100k = hard pass.

- What's best for a hot meal, WaWa or Buc-ee's?
My wife's home cooking. - Is your home TV or car touch screen better for movies and video games? Meh. Home TV gets limited use as is. No games. - Do you let anyone eat or drink anything in your car? Sure, it's a truck. The smell of food covers up the smell of dog and tools and sawdust and dirt. - Refueling, which is better; 45 minutes or 5 minutes? The correct answer is 5 minutes. - How often do you drag race your SUV? Don't drag race. Not on a track and not on MTV. - Real pickup or Cybertruck for a work truck? I think you know my answer here. - Do you fill your gas tank full or stop at 80%? I top off most times. And by "top off" I mean to the top of the fill tube. - Does stopping at a gas station for 5 minutes once/week annoy you? I wish I only stopped once a week. |

I traded in my wife's 5 series BMW for a Tesla M3 performance. Wife was not happy.
Doesnt have XM radio Doesnt have soft close doors. Not as comfortable as the BMW. That being said, she loves not having to stop and get gas. Are they for everyone? Nope. Do they work for some people? Yep Do either of those sides agree? Nope. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. |

Is that true of all vehicles? I always fill them all the way. I only see this warning on the 100% reliable interwebs, no warnings on the gas caps, filler pipes, gas pumps, etc. |

But most Americans do not know what liberty is, so they do not know when it's being taken away, so we're on a downward spiral to tyranny. |

Fox Business is running a report of a cross country trip. Only complaint so far is almost running out of power when plans changed an GPS showing charging stations off the route. A restaurant was closed so they had to go off the planned route.
