To answer your question, fleet vehicles would be imminently practical for EV applications. They usually are only for use around town, or a set area, with parking each evening (or whatever down time period) in a company lot. Even for fleet applications where the employee takes it home, a home charger is a business…

Kind sir or ma’am, I don’t think you realize you are arguing with someone who fundamentally agrees with you.

I respect your take. But I guess we approach the idea of a ban totally differently.

We pay, regardless of what happens. Either we pay via taxes, or we pay for their product. So really, your argument is moot. We pay. Period. Why not go for the better outcome? By them staying alive, active and paying taxes and producing product, we get benefit. Not maximum green benefit, but this is not like switching…

Very true, but really, it just weeded out the queens who were not as much fun into partying to begin with. But then, I do have as friends a couple with an adopted son, and we figured out that it worked well if I took one of the two out on alternate turns, with the one staying home to babysit. Whoever got to go out had…

You may be right, but the chances are, he is not wrong about people with kids - or just married couples - only hanging out with people in the same situation, to the detriment of any single folks. It’s funny how a spouse can suddenly decide that their spouse’s best friend, without a partner, is no longer socially…

And you, sir, are a fool if you don’t think that said BP CEO would not have his team figure out a way to move to using natural gas reserves to produce electricity and abandoning the rigs and refineries if they no longer were profitable. Add in that all those costs would be written off, expended as tax credits, and…

I don’t disagree with you on many points, but there is a lot of differences but the current political situation is exactly what happens before a radical shift. The simple truth is that this current election will shed a lot of light on whether the changes will happen, or not. Succinctly, Red wins will mean status quo,…

Well, let’s consider what happens when something becomes a requirement.

While it may appeal to the virtue signalers, the real market that will allow the EV F-150 to be the first top selling EV is the fleet market. I really suspect that with the tax incentives, the lower maintenance, and the ability of corporations to write off adding chargers to their infrastructure along with…

Really, no problem? Best year sales for the GT-R was 2008, the first year. Total - 1,730. Ford GT sales - best year 2016 - Total 1,919.

Well, he is exactly what the Republican party seems to want, not just tolerate. I am old enough to remember that there were otherwise good candidates that never got supported by the parties once the bad publicity started. Think Gary Hart for the example. A very good candidate, but the whole (probable set up) Monkey…

You know, there is one way to determine if this asswipe is telling the truth, or if he is so full of shit that his eyes appear brown, regardless of the actual color of his irises.

Perhaps he is more a Michael Moore. Only more committed to the schtick.

Well, you also raise some good points, but boomers are not exactly the new C8 buyers. It seems that the midengine ones are going to a slightly younger demographic, so that kills the boomer argument. And the XLR was a bust, but I think for a couple of reasons that are fully on the shoulders of the Cadillac brand. One,…

True, my bad, GMC dealers, not Chevrolet. But that means it is being sold at a lot that sells Buicks and trucks, not luxury brands. Near (hahahahahaha) luxury dealers, and at that price, it is now GMC’s Corvette. And it still should have been a Cadillac. A luxury product should be sold either in a store by itself…

Honestly, there are 2 things I was considering when reading that the cheap Dacia EV would be built in China instead of the EU.

That’s why it should have been a Cadillac, not a Chevy dealer special using the Hummer name. They think that way because of the damned Corvette, which started as a Chevy and by God, will die as a Chevy rather than making it a separate brand and justifying the higher price. The Hummer should have either been a separate…

Well, if you mean Godwin’s law, perhaps, but I work for a German company with a lot of German colleagues, and they all ask me about this as they were all subjected to a lot of history in their schooling expressly making them consider how it all went down. They see the similarity, as does just about anyone not directly…
