Do leftists think being critical of a government push for EVs is the same as being triggered?
I'm actually considering buying one.
Truth be told, having an EV and solar panels does provide more autonomy, the least I can depend on others the better.
No
I have nothing against electric vehicles, it's the climate cult that insist everything is cleaner because of them, when they refuse to acknowledge what goes into producing them. Also, the costs of electricity going up, and being in a small village means there's not really good means of recharging in my area. So in the end, this is neither cheaper nor cleaner. What's the fucking point?
It's Feudal... I meant Futile to argue with them.
They do, but it's always countered with "anti-intellectualism" or "anti-academic".
You see, we are
God'sThe Science™'s Chosen People. If it weren't for you cousin-fucking hicks holding back Progress™, we would already be in a post-scarcity utopia now. So stop voting against your own interests and let us rule over you, you stupid cattle in clothing.Do they though? Solar panels and ev battery break down after couple of years, you'll then have to get them replaced, wood gas engine and hydro generators are more independent
EV batteries don't necessarily break but become less efficient. Is horribly underreported how worse the ev batteries become after 5 years. But if you maintain some best practices you can reduce that. It's not optimal but technology improves so maybe we will get better ev batteries in the future.
As for solar panels, I honestly don't see a reason against them.
I know it's not cost effective, is not even green effective but it does offer a bit of independence if you have to make regular short trips. Like me taking my kids to daycare and school.
So leave the battery 60% charged and only drive when it's 60-70 degrees outside?
Technology improves—to a point. Solid-state batteries, the latest meme in the EV space, has its own problems, like lithium dendrites.
Technology isn't fucking magic, and the fact that people treat it as such is why we get retarded policies like ICE vehicle bans by 2030.
I blame political lobbying. Holy fuck, how does anyone think that hydrogen is clean? Tell me you are brutally, willfully ignorant without telling me you are a window-licking moron.
That is because there is so much variability. The software of the battery power electronics is paramount to battery lifespan.
That is, how fast and deeply you discharge your battery and the way you charge your battery both dramatically effect lifespan.
It turns out that active cooling (liquid cooling systems and radiators) are vital to both fast charging and battery pack lifespan. See the early Nissan Leaf that had battery packs without active cooling systems. The battery had a truly disappointing lifespan. Now Nissan doesn't make them like that.
That said, it would be a relatively simple matter for the manufacturer to build a diesel heater into the battery cooling system. That would keep the battery warm in low temperatures. Even electric heating driven from the charging circuit (an electric blanket) that ran while the car was plugged in would be a good start.
It amuses me to think about people pouring diesel or kerosene into their electric car to keep it warm. It would solve a bunch of problems, as making heat out of electricity is really inefficient, so passenger cab heating, windscreen defrosting etc takes a huge toll on the battery and thus the range.
IMNHO, EVs are just an under-baked idea. They will get dramatically better as these problems come to light and are solved.
tl;dr: It is just about impossible to do an apples to apples comparison across EV brands or even models.
Solar panels have a effective lifespan of about 25 years. It used to be 20 years, but the newer Chinese panels last even longer.
If the frames are built well and there is quality wiring, you can just replace the panels and get another 25 years.
You may want to add more panels or replace them early, because performance degrades slowly over time. At 20 or 25 years (depending on where you draw the line) they are no longer economical.
As for Lithium Ion battery packs. That is a legitimate concern. Depending on environment, cooling, charge discharge cycles and how full you charge the battery for maximum charge ... you could get between six and ten years out of your battery pack. Less if you regularly charge them really full and discharge the battery completely; that is long distance driving. Don't do that.
Replacement costs of a battery pack for a six or ten year old tesla is more than the resale value of the car.
If you can get your fuel for free (simplest is if you charge at work) then it might still be a worthwhile trade.
I have a friend who has an EV. His wife also has an EV. Both of them charge for free at work. Both drive less than 40 km a day, on average. It works out very well for them. Free fuel, no mechanical services required. There vehicles will just cost them tires and washing until they sell them.
EVs are not for every case, but for their niche they can be outstanding.
They think everyone over-reacts and cries like a bitch exactly like they do
If we could get the energy directly from a radioactive rod, it would speed so much along. At the moment it's just a really fancy steam engine.
Do you want the exploding cars from Fallout 3? Cause that's how you get the exploding cars from Fallout 3
it would clean up the driver pool quick
Until we get the Exploding Atomic Cars of Peace.
Not sure if you saw this story. Not quite a radioactive rod but close.

That's a good freaking start. Something I've noticed about American tech is that they always put as much power as they can, and it takes others to slim it down.
Thank you.
People don't even know how the snowflake insult works anymore
The left can't fucking meme. So they steal shit and don't even realize how it fucking worked to begin with. Or why.
Snowflake (n): someone who disagrees with me.
Does that mean they love Musk now or?...
No. Because having only one set of ideals that don't contradict eachother is something only the nahtzees do
Do they love Trump for his Operation Warpspeed?
No, they're retarded.
There are a couple types of leftist memes. The worst is a text wall of cope. But this format is a close second:
The left still can't meme.
Recognizing shortcomings is triggering now to leftists.
Laughing at stupidity is triggered now?
Or recognizing the next big 'thing'
In fact I've seen a large overlap between people who buy electric cars and people who bought in early into VR.
Ouch.
Honestly, I really like the idea of XR, but think we do it wrong.
As far as I'm concerned until they solve the feet problem it's always going to be a fad.
I had exactly as much fun as I thought I was paying for with VR in the 5 good games that existed when I bought it... And still are the only 5 good games. Sigh.
Sure, why not?
I'll never not laugh when they try to call their opponents snowflake since they tried and failed to Own it like the right did with pepe.
They've also been trying to own the term "based" and post it for all sorts of degeneracy.
"Soccer player calls out Saudi Arabia for anti LGBT practices."
"Based!"
That shit is all over 4chan. Wish there was a tranny filter
I've legitimately heard "hUrR, sNoWfLaKe?!" a thousand times more from lefties strawmanning than I have from actual conservatives at this point. Especially in the last 5 or so years.
They always arrive late and run shit into the ground, like a 5 year old just learning their first knock knock joke.
That's because almost all of their psychology revolves around projection. They create strawmen to beat to death. When we no longer even remember what the strawman was about they're still abusing it.
Came to a realization today. All the countries adopting EV's at record rates are doing so with government subsidy. EV adherents, needing to justify their expensive toy, promise along side manufacturers that "the technology will get better".
Tell me, when the government mandates something, where is the incentive to improve it? Why would any company want to improve their product when the government is literally telling you that the purchase of that product is mandatory.
To get more customers? Why, they won. They got all the customers, they got the government to make it illegal NOT to buy your product.
So you do what AT&T did, you sit on your ass and count your money and make zero improvements to your product. That's what you do.

The existence of electric cars is moot to me. The insistence that the world adopt these inferior cars is what pisses me off.
The usual "Oh, you don't like it? You're obviously afraid of it."
people aren't threatened by electric cars.. its the fact that people are FORCED to buy only electric or government does things to make buying non-electric prohibitively expensive.
Don't forget the mandatory kill switch. They're only forcing this bullshit to get more control. Same as everything these would be tyrants do.
Leftists just combine whatever they like into one individual strawman with a ton of shaking language. The snowflake reply is usually just boomers spatting at younger generations.
Be sure to install a catalytic converter cage if you do buy a hybrid, especially if you live in the
shittycity.Exactly.
Until I can go a good 600+ miles on a single charge, EVs are just very expensive toys for some people to show off, and a slave collar around your neck if forced to buy.
