  1.  @Luka_3D  You're lying. The electric buses in Oslo broke down in cold weather. It was documented in the news and on this channel. Norway does not have long distance electric trucking. No country in the world does.

  2. Absolutely impossible. The grid is already struggling.

  3.  @Luka_3D  Norway is not the US and they don't have electric trucking. They have battery powered buses that do not work in cold weather.

  4. Even a supercharger for cars needs as muich power as 50 homes.

  5.  @doriangray6985  The capacity just doesn't exist.

  6. Oh they know. They have to give people hope though.

  7. It just isn't possible. You'd also need huge new power stations in sparsely populated parts of the US. The cost of that would be unimaginable.

  8.  @brendykes1202  Solar and wind? Good luck with that in the middle of the night in the winter with no wind. This is the real world. The trucks must run, If not we starve.

  9. The charger cables are made from expensive rare earth alloys.

  10.  @jebes909090  Doesn't matter how much there is in the world. It matters how much of it can be economically mined.

  11.  @luckyguy600  Use silver? This is a joke, right?

  12.  @brendykes1202  we cannot possibly produce enough batteries. you do not understand the numbers involved. please go and learn. Tesla has done no such thing by the way. a small town for an hour or two is all they can manage. nor are EVs 'more efficient'. they just burn the fuel in the power station instead of the vehicle which is much less efficient.

  13.  @brendykes1202  how do you know it charges that fast? using what kind of charger? a very rare high powered one I can only assume.

  14.  @brendykes1202  a charger with what specific kilowatt rating? when you say well publicized do you mean independently tested or is this one of Elon's lies?

  15.  @brendykes1202  that's an absolute lie. you have the whole power station plus the grid to account for plus losing most of the coal's energy as heat. far less efficient than just using diesel which simply has no rival for powering heavy equipment.

  16. Humans would easily defeat any such robots

  17.  @BigBoaby-sg1yo  Could be, or just brainwashed like so many others. I bet Luka doesn't know that he or she is literally made of fossil fuels. 60% of the nitrogen in their body came from fertiliser produced from natural gas.

  18. I think they just need an optimistic story to tell.
