I'm not going to pretend they aren't fast, but I gotta have an exhaust note and 3 pedals to have fun.

beermaker I don't know if it's a fact, but I've never seen a politician who isn't going to go for an easy "revenue stream". In all seriousness, it's probably the fairest way to handle these vehicles. Mayor Petey is already floating tax by mile scheme.. |

A number of years ago I heard $7K for a battery change on a Prius.
I see where the electric scooters overseas can swap the battery for a fully charged one and that is a booming business. No waiting for the battery to charge, just swap it out.

In addition to the questions from jjas, are the batteries affected by cold temperatures? I know next to nothing about electric vehicles. I have nothing against them whatsoever. I might be interested if someone can produce a truck comparable to my 2500 Duramax and be at the same price. Until then, my job duties will require diesel power. One thing I did hear the other day is that owners of electric vehicles get hit with an exclusive tax when registering said vehicle to make up for loss of gas tax revenue. Does anyone know that to be a fact? Someone did produce a truck comparable and better than that duramax. It's called a Cummins.😁😁😁 Yep! And I put between 40K and 50K on one every year. |

The environmentalists that tout the benefit fit the benefits of electric vehicles conveniently leave out the part about mining the metals for the battery.
I heard last week tesla included a new "aggressive" driving mode in their most recent update for their autonomous driving software. It follows vehicles closer, changes lanes more often, and stays in the fast lane. Sounds like thecautonomous driving feature is in need of some oversight.

Then there are things like this (from the Mach E forum):
”Pull over Safely” came up on the dash, so we pulled over to side of highway and called Ford Road Side Assitance. A tow truck was dispatched. Car was dragged on to tow bed with a winch. The first winch snapped. The Ford dealership I was towed to had never worked on an electric car. We were halfway between our home in Canada and our winter place in Florida. On the recommendation of Ford Customer Care, they arranged to have the car transported down to a dealership in Florida. The tow company hooked into the battery rail and damaged the batteries. $28,000 repair bill. Now Ford customer care tells me I have to deal with Agero- claims for Road Side Assistance, that it’s not Ford. Agero denies the claim because it can’t be proven that it was the tow company’a fault it could have happened when the car was transported to Florida. Ford says it’s not their fault. My insurance company says it’s not claimable through them. So I am left finding lawyers in both the US and Canada to deal with this. Then I am sent a survey asking if I would refer Ford to a friend!
