His point is that there are larger issues that should be addressed before cars. But they are not because that requires large industry to change, but they won’t because they are funding our legislators.

By all means, let's continue to do nothing then, let's bitch and whine about how EVs won't change 100% of our problems instead of recognizing that they're a step in a direction most people recognize as meaningful
Probably because your comment reeks of perpetuating an unsustainable status quo, ie the favorite Boomer play from their generational playbook
Don’t worry, your Boomer heart will give out soon and you won’t have to live with the pain of change for much longer
Bad take. Without Tesla we would still be waiting for the “big 3" to release an electric car. Before Tesla there was not a single Electric car i would ever consider driving. By showing the world that electric could be stylish, fast, and easy enough to own Tesla kicked the auto world into the next century.
Its a bold thing to admit to your non-first place status. It only works if you are the underdog though.
The Chevrolet/GMC GMT400 (a.k.a. 1988-1998 and some heavy duty models up to 2000) pickups.
Came for this. Not enough stars. Fuck the Jeep mythos.
Take water fording for example. Which of these is rated for deeper water fording?
I laughed when I read that quote and immediately thought of this. These people are all full of shit, it’s just funny when it is this obvious.
“We design all of those Trail Rated elements from the ground up… it’s not just a marketing term.”
The fun one that has popped up in my area lately is “Don’t blame me, I voted for Trump”.
A lot of anti-environmentalism has become stupid for no good reason. Back when Rick Perry was Governor of Texas, he and others in the state were proud to try to lead the way in wind production of electricity. There are wind turbines all over some of the most conservative parts of the state and it was never a major…
as i’ve said, until large portions of this country stop taking pride in being uneducated and uninformed, we’re all in trouble.
Who ever wins the “range wars” will win the day on these first gen EV trucks.
I mean, you’re talking about a society where getting vaccinated from dying prematurely is political. What a time to be alive.
Counterpoint: I never tow anything; I own a truck to make dump and lumber runs, move bulky objects, and bring mountainbikes to parks. I drive less than 20 miles most days; a couple times a month I drive 130 miles a day.
Shockingly, an electric F150 doesn’t have to compete with an F250 that is primarily used for towing and yet, it can still succeed and be a good thing.
Then don’t buy one?
