He's had a supercharged S2000 and majority of his videos, starting with 11 yrs ago, are centered around gasoline engines. Not even close to an "ev shill" lmao.

Considering a small percentage of his videos are on EV’s that’s a pretty baseless claim. Though we are used to those from you. I am just going to post this again.

Chevy released the Blazer EV last evening including an SS version. Nice looking vehicle, priced at $45K to $66K (SS version).

i'll agree rivian, tesla, and lucid motors(distant) all exist.
all the rest, they're no better than elio motors. they exist on paper.

I don't know... it seems like petroleum prices go up and down, but average out over time, yet electricity seems a little more stable. It is probably the better long term bet if someone wanted to avoid market changes in energy prices.

Looking at their Q2 report they need to start turning a profit in ~3 years, that SUV can't come quick enough because there are not enough sales in the luxury car market to support them. Tesla has built a brand and Rivian has Ford backing, they'll be around for at least this decade but I wouldn't be shocked if they fold and the major automakers swallow them up. |

so for now they do exist on the most basic level of creating a product and bringing it to market. elio can't say the same. whether lucid can maintain and stay profitable, that's an entirely different debate!

If it ever comes to that, we can probably expect rolling blackouts - different grids will be allowed to charge during different time windows to avoid overloading. Heck, we might go full circle and bring back the horse buggies.
Left alone to the markets, people will figure out the right balance between various power sources - petroleum, coal, nuclear, wind, solar, tidal, etc. It's only when private-jet-flying doomsday-mongering criminals stick their nose in that this balance gets screwed up. And We The Peasants get the shaft in the end. |
