    So you have a bias for electric, fine, it moves trains in japan and france. So does diesel. So the iphone 12 apparently still makes calls like the flip phones do. So my F150 has a digital control panel with knobs below in case the screen quits. What is the point of it?

    Technology needs to be an upgrade in usefulness and utility.

    What is the upgrade in utility from a gas driven car to electric? Answer; there is none and there are are a hell of a lot of issues with reliability and externalities that are conveniently swept under the rug.

    Thats why it has to be anchored with a vague climate change pseudoscience.

    Farmers are crying on one side about overpaying for hybrid technology and the right to fix their equipment but then full into letting the big companies keep pushing tech with dubious benefits into everything. Makes no sense. Companies can make a barebones vehicle for $20k new but that doesnt turn a profit anymore so just stuff it with all the tech you can think of to run up that price.

    Did your mother have any children that lived?


    Seriously. I haven't read anything this out there in a long time.

    You must be 75 years old.

      Too bad it needs diesel to run. Maybe I can put a wind turbine on it with gearing to run the generator at 1850 rpm.
      We were lookin at screw air compressors in that sale but didnt get one

        Got lucky on this one. Was able to talk to a consignor who had a guarantee on a package consignment of equipment.
        They had nothing to lose by telling me the truth.
        Reasonable hours.
        Size is a bit overkill but it would run the whole Ghetto yard..... and some.

          EVs are a plot by the left. Everyone gets dependent on the grid for transportation and when the government wants to control your movements they shut down the grid.

          With good old diesel I can squeeze some canola seed and drive to FREEDOM!

            Umm. Or you could setup solar panels and plug the thing in.


            The cost for the solar array is probably ballpark to the expeller and refining cost of equipment and you need to grow the canola. The sun is free

              Another half baked absolutely stupid response.

              Pray tell... How do you crush canola without electricity?

              Last I checked you used electric motors to drive the expellers, heaters, and pumps required to turn the raw product into useable fuel.


              I need to stop coming here. My brain cells die every time I read this bullshit.

                  And I can happily report that your best efforts are spectacularly unsuccessful - simply because it would be impossible to write on a level that would be understandable by someone who is one neuron short of forming a synapse.

                    Bahahaha. That was too easy. I guess I should have put the LOL, LMAO on. (Or not) Lighten up. Things get too serious on here.

                      $116k USD for Hummer (350+ miles range)
                      $70k USD for Cybertruck (500+ miles range)

                      This is going to be a hard decision...

                          Probably the same guy that needs to pull that $200,000 wake Board boat to the lake twice a year to burn $300 worth of gas per day ? Just a guess ... regardless there will be buyers for sure. It will be just a status symbol more than anything.
