  1.  @robertkubrick3738  I haven't heard of any safety incidents regarding E-bike batteries. Have you? Mobile phone batteries don't have a clean track record, but everyone still charges them at home.

  2. Example for consideration: if the theoretical range is 300 and the car can only go 180 km, that would be an overestimation by 67%, because the real range is 180.

  5. I imagine there are going to be a lot of pissed off government employees or ex-employees. Probably most of them with Woke paraphernalia.

  6. Both could be caused by racism according to Jane Fonda and other Woke Progressives. Some even go as far as proposing that Climate Change is racist.

  7. Instead of cars, passports should be required for illegal migrants so it's easier to tell if they are escaping war and persecution.

  8. The energy stored by the sun, not battery but by gravity when they turn turbines, (yes, think this through) will be there forever. Evaporation and rain is never going to stop. The limitation is where this energy can be gathered and sent economically to other places. Right now, Tasmania and Norway are the only two places that can do it.

  10. The battery passport omits demographic information like ethnicity, political affiliation, and marital status.

  11.  @robertkubrick3738  There could be racism in there. Jane Fonda believes racism causes Climate Change, and vice versa. In either case, white people are to blame and dark people suffer the most.

  12. I will never put a large lithium battery under a mattress.

  13. The advantage of a non-EV is that you can open the door from inside when the vehicle is on fire.

  14. Futuristic articles should be treated as literary fiction or science fiction. It's for entertainment only. Until a technology is used and makes economic sense, there is no point talking about it.

  15. This message is quite convincing and conclusive.

  16. There are many kinds of rare earth minerals. Norway's rare earth deposits might be of a limited number of types, while the article heralds it as "potentially" replacing China's rare earth supply. These kinds of hopeful news always pretend the potential is already realized and is at maximum possible.

  17.  @robertkubrick3738  What can a person use magnetite for? I have seen ads for neodymium magnets to be used to find something valuable at the bottom of ponds and creeks, and I am sure these magnets would gather a lot of magnetite.

  18. The robot idea is absurd. If the AI in self-driving vehicles cannot drive safely, what would make a robot do so? It would have to have an even "smarter" AI than EVs, but if that were possible, why wouldn't people have already installed it in existing EVs? Besides, a robot doesn't (normally) have a self-preservation instinct and might stop the car on train tracks if it sees a squirrel in the way.

  19. Instead of carbon offsets or credits, the government should start selling Woke credits. Woke credits would capture everything, like Climate, indigenous land, gender social justice, carbon emissions etc. Then a company like Ben & Jerry's, who laments about being on stolen indigenous land and yet has no plans to give it back to the Indians, could pay its dues by handing out free ice-cream to people confused about their sex. The only uncertainty would be in assessing what amount of free ice-cream might be of equivalent value to the land Ben & Jerry's putatively stole.

  20. That decommissioned control room at the nuclear power plant being restarted looks a lot like the one in the 1970s movie "The China Syndrome." The Chinese might now be concerned about a hot nuclear reactor suddenly surfacing in downtown Beijing. They need not worry because the spot diametrically opposite to Beijing is said to be somewhere in Argentina.

  21. This will cause all sorts of inefficiencies, resulting in decreased productivity and a downward permanent turn for the economy. Governments have lots of methods to make life miserable for ICE vehicle owners, such as increasing fuel taxes, or increasing taxes on any industry involved in the "oil" business, who will pass the cost onto consumers. Ultimately, it will destroy the country's standard of living, and between the Green Agenda and incessant mega-migration, Britain has one hell of a future ahead.

  22. It only remains to be seen which car makers will survive. Toyota seems to understand the situation, and will work against Globalists. Governments will give us Hobson's Choice where the only car you can buy is an electric one.

  23. Mendoza was negligent, as attested to by him choosing to buy an EV.

  24. Most of the news about Tesla's faults came from MSM. And while the reports could have been accurate, the investigation hasn't been comprehensive enough to draw general conclusions. There is an all out war against Musk by the Democrats and Globalists, and we should withhold final conclusions about anything connected to Elon Musk until a greater aggregate of facts becomes available, and until it is coming from politically unbiased sources.

  27. Those devices will get stolen and be used for other purposes.

  28. The adage used to go "the trouble with socialism is that eventually the system runs out of other people's money." Today, the reality of Democratic governments is that they are the same as the socialists, except that they run out of other people's money because they hand it over to billionaires.

  29. The free beer during charging intermissions does make EV racing more tolerable. It's just too bad the same convenience cannot be arranged at charging stations across the country. Ideally, every charging car park would have a sports bar with an Internet Cafe, and maybe you could get your nails done or get a haircut at the same time.

  30. Even without DEI, going 100% electric will lead to bankruptcy.

  31. And if they reduce enough of us, they themselves will get to Net-Zero. We have to get to Net-Zero even if it kills us, but at least it will save the planet.

  32.  @thewellnesswarriors-truth  Yeah but the planet will be saved. We might not be around to appreciate it, but the elites will be and they will thank us.

  33. There is one case where electric cars are better. Electric bumper cars at places like Disneyland. You wouldn't want ICE cars there.

  34. I don't believe Globalist Woke people understand irony.

  35. One could countenance the Cybertruck if it at least looked good. But it looks awful. And Australia's military won't need to use EV armored vehicles because no enemy will bring its own military land vehicles to Australia. It's just not practical. The only way the army's EVs will get used is when an unfortunate 3rd country engaged in war gets a shipment of EVs from Australia, contributing to its hastened demise.

  36. You have to pay to play, or choose "skip."

  37. EVs can also be hijacked for nefarious business purposes. Say a fast food franchise owner remotely commandeers your EV, and forces it to go into his drive-through lane. What are you going to do when the intercom asks you what you would like to order? Are you going to say "sorry ma'am, I don't know why I am here..."?

  38. Even ML doesn't have the human ability to generalize into what could be called fuzzy logic rules (not rigidly algorithmic). Instead ML uses millions of practical real life experiences available in its database, which it then compares to reality it perceives on the road, and selects the action that had been successful in presumably same circumstances (which in reality might not be the same). Not only does ML not generalize, it lacks a human understanding of the world and of human social norms and expectations, all of which affect the interpretation of perceived reality while driving. It lacks context.

  39. The fundamental advantage of fossil based energy is that it is portable and compact. You can take a tankfull of it with you plus a reserve, and virtually anywhere you go you will find a storage (station) from which you can refill. With EVs, you can take stored energy in a battery with you, but when you stray from built-up areas, there will be nothing there to get more energy from. And if you install a charger at every gas/petrol station, it will have to be the overnight charging kind, or new electrical wiring will have to be run to that gas station. It will still take very inconveniently long to charge, and sufficient space has to be created at each station. If you run out of electricity in the countryside, there is no portable jerrycan and the vehicle either has to be towed or an emergency service vehicle has to get there to recharge the battery. I believe the foregoing paragraph is definition number 3 of "nightmare."

  40.  @elinor6525  I have never needed 10 minutes to fill up my car. It takes between three and five minutes, depending on how much fuel is desired or needed, and how fast the pump works. The only person I know who might take 10 minutes is my brother because he doesn't use his card at the pump. He goes inside the office to pay.

  41. That Waymo struggling to stay in its lane was obviously drunk.

  42. The infrared safety technology was "forward looking," so it didn't realize the disaster would come around and bite it in the ass.

  43. That's an impressive lineup of car manufacturers about to go out of business.

  44. With a continued EV mandate, some buyers will be forced to buy an EV, while others will bear the cost and inconvenience of maintaining their old cars. Others still, will not have a car and take public or shared transportation everywhere. Increasingly, this will decimate the economy by making transportation more expensive and more time-consuming, while depressing worker productivity as commuting to and from work will take much longer and less reliably. And if the EV policy is enforced on vehicles engaged in commerce, then you are looking at catastrophic increases in cost and time spent on the road, in many cases resulting in an outright inability to perform the required trips.

  46. Once upon a time, I too attempted to buy an MG Midget from a private individual. Unfortunately the motor didn't start as the temperature was below freezing, so I gave up on it and bought an MGB instead. That too had starting problems in very cold weather, but since we live in a civilized country, you can spray ether directly into the carburetor.

  48. The passport might be intended to prevent imports of cheap EVs from places like China.

  49. The Odd Couple should have known that buying a "fairweather vehicle" will require special care and extra expenses. Even a hussy knows that. Could the same problem also be caused by frequent car washes?

  50. In the old days, it was not recommended to charge the 12 volt acid-lead batteries in the house or in confined spaces where humans might be exposed to fumes (vapours?) from the battery. I wonder if any dangerous fumes emanate from EV batteries while charging in a garage or discharging while driving. If yes, could those fumes enter the cabin and harm the vehicle's occupants? Or, while charging inside a garage, might any fumes enter the living area of the home?
