So what we need is something like a newer, greener version of the New Deal. Too bad half the country thinks such a thing is “woke socialism.”

Tell that to the “old people” in Chicago freezing in line to charge their EVs. 

Then build the grid up FFS. The grid is not a static thing. Immutable, unchangeable since the dawn of time until the end of time. JEBUS people would now bitch about the grid not ready for the rural electrification project or the grid not ready for the manhattan project. Sorry no war ending bomb the grid was not ready.…

Tired of the old people complaining about “the grid is not ready” then oppose any money on improving the grid that would improve our infrastructure and provide good American jobs. So much bitching about EV is just fragile masculinity just like bitching about solar and wind. 

Those Teslas weren’t actually dead. They were just lined up waiting for their turn for a reduced number of supercharger spots because the cold knocked out some of the chargers, not the cars themselves.

LOL on the pickup truck trying to pass a plow blade using a tight shoulder. Hope his insurance sees this dash cam vid and says “Nein!” on this claim.

That plow was motionless, outside of traffic lanes, and lit up like the worlds brawniest Christmas tree. They “merged” to the right, directly into what looks like a closing lane and would have gone into the onramp had the truck not been there. That driver deserves everything the law can throw at them.

Hitting a snow plow or any other type of emergency vehicle, should be instant lose your license.

Not a chance in hell I’d be using an abrasive like Bar Keepers friend.

Fuck that. That’s way too much effort for something that is going to happen all the time. You’re basically washing and polishing your truck every time someone touches it. Yet another reason this truck is beyond stupid.

Oh I was pretending to be insane.

A bicyclist also ran in front of the train this weekend in the same town https://www.clickorlando.com/traffic/2024/01/15/video-brightline-train-narrowly-misses-bicyclist-in-melbourne/.

“Popped the airbag.”

But now we’re talking about how they faked it instead of the impressive feat because they couldn’t help themselves but lie!

That guy is really awesome. Though I have to admit, the best bits are when the situation is soooo bad that HE, the mildest-mannered, most polite BRITISH guy in the world, loses it in the most politely British way possible.

If you were trying to get from the northernmost point in the U.S. — Utqiagvik, Alaska — to the southernmost point in the U.S. — Key West, Florida Lua‘opalahemo, Hawaii

Haha yes.  I just watched Noel Phillips second attempt at a corss-country trip on Gryehound.  O.o

Looks like fun! In an “watch other people suffer” sort of way.

As a ‘pro-electric fuel sources’, solar-panel-having homeowner with an existing F150 in my garage, I have to assume that I am the target demographic for an electric F150. I am not going to buy a truck with a 240 mile range, so that makes my base price $73.5k?!

We’re well past that point
