Depending on what that means then I will most likely just drive the vehicle illegally. As if an extra 10% on the purchase price isn’t enough.

I mean if you like that kind of shit for Europe fine whatever but many Americans absolutely do not play that.


I guess the ameeericaaaaan punishment for that will be to gas you in your own cabin with your own exhaust pipe.

Yeah, it certainly no expert but neither is he.

This is the first time we are really pumping real money into R&D and each new generation of vehicle goes further than the next. The first protos siting at sub 50 miles and now Tesla is over 400 on an economy sized vehicle.

Great minds are being attracted to the sector with the huge influx of money. Previously many of those individuals would have been sucked into oil and gas.


i am a chemist and i know well enough how batteries work and what the limitations are

and charge density cant go up indefinitely, thats a fact, period

i mean even if we pretend that such a battery gets developed we still have problems with resources, availability of electricity, charging times and more

at this moment electrical cars are an ideological project driven by politicians and tesla has yet to earn a single dollar without cashing in on emission certificates

chemical energy will be the go to for decades to come, however in places like germany co2 neutral synthetic fuels are literally blocked by the government

More like small fines and suspensions of driving privileges. I have never had a drivers license in my life I am fine with that. I pay my dues and get on with my life.

Not sure how that works where you are.
But round here if get caught driving w/o license=suspended.
Get caught driving suspended=revoked.
Get caught driving revoked=prison.

I am aware of the financial status of those companies at this time that does not stop them from generating significant cash through share offerings in various tranches. It does not need to go up indefinitely it just needs to be reasonable. Reasonable may be 1500 km before hitting a fast charging station.

Funny part is that you can probably get away with it much more easier in EU, like at second or third time, with few months of prison, while the sentence is very certainly much harder in US.
Hightest incarceration rate. Dont be over-reactive, take it easy, and enjoy your next, electric, car.

I get pulled over every single time they see me in my truck. I know the all of the local tow yards so I don’t get fucked that way. They usually just drop the truck a good ten minute walk away and move on, county pays them. Idk where this prison thing is coming from, maybe down south?

Either way no, my next car will not be electric lol. I just bought another hemi as soon as I read they are discontinuing them.
