Comments by "Pat McBride" (@patmcbride9853) on "MGUY Australia" channel.

  1. Ironic that manufacturers are required to make ICE vehicle more efficient, but EVs can waste electricity while charging.
    22
  2. "Never mind the potential damage! We have to go green!"
    17
  3. If only we could cut even 10% of the government bureaucracy. We could do fine with 25% less.
    14
  4. The administration plans on building 500K more charging stations in 6 years, despite term limits giving them only 4 more years (if we are unlucky).
    12
  5. NZ was so lucky the day Skeletor finally left office.
    11
  6. Imagine the dual threat of icing on your airplane's wings combined with range/power loss due to the cold, and then add in the drain for wing leading edge heaters.
    10
  7.  @Ifitwerks  That BS has already been debunked.
    8
  8. Can you imagine a "Classic" EV show with EVs older than 30 years old being proudly displayed by their loving owners?
    6
  9. Chargers and connectors should have been standardized from the get-go and the governments handing out subsidies should have demanded it.
    5
  10. If you rent a Tesla, make darned sure you get the insurance to cover the stratospheric repair costs that result from what looks like a minor collision.
    4
  11. Lawsuits incoming.
    3
  12. It would make for great PPV.
    3
  13. If they want to keep up with changes in battery technology, they should make the battery easier to swap out.
    3
  14. I hate touch screens because the car hits a bump just as you are trying to touch a small square on the screen.
    2
  15. This story reminds me of my 2nd car, a 1973 Pontiac Firebird. If it was summer, I could not use the AC in traffic because the radiator needed to be replaced. When I took a summer trip that took me up the Grapevine out of the LA basin, I had to roll the windows down and run the heater to keep the engine from overheating.
    2
  16.  @shovelguggelheim8454  I certainly wish I had replaced the radiator (and the sagging headliner). But the 1967 Chevelle I sold before buying it would be the one I would have kept if I thought about it and knew what upgrades would be available in the future.
    2
  17. The other "shocking" thing is that armed robbers aren't going up and down the line taking phones, wallets, cash, and jewelry.
    2
  18. They are already working to throttle fuel production and they've raised prices any way they can.
    2
  19. I looked at the specs for my vehicle before buying it because I wanted to park in the garage. I even rearranged the garage to accommodate it. And I'm not buying that salmon died from tire dust. How do they know it wasn't fairy dust?
    2
  20. I used to watch EV racing. It happened on small, indoor tracks with slots in them and metal strips to transmit power to the cars. I cracked up when I heard an ad trying to excite people about the new electric "Mustang SUV performance vehicle".
    2
  21. Throw away the crutches and the disability is there for all to see.
    2
  22. Imagine how torn up the roads will be with heavier busses and trucks on the road.
    2
  23. Obama had the same devastating effect on solar companies when he praised them.
    2
  24. Used car salesmen are the only ones happy about this.
    2
  25. Ironic that submarines are forbidden to use sonar near whale areas, but wind farms can do what they please. When I got laid off in the past, I would have loved to have the cushy safety net German workers get.
    2
  26. "This car's got a lot of brass!" - Sales "person" that hates his/her/its job. The 3 Totems are like the 3 shells in "Demolition Man". Only insiders know how they work.
    2
  27. Hmmm...how could the voters reverse this? BTW, my vehicle identifies as a very small EV. They better not dare to misgender it.
    2
  28. Generators and fuel reserves will help more people out and still charge EVs.
    2
  29. The "transition" from Bank Australia to other financial institutions should be accelerating.
    2
  30. "Green" companies like Nikola are the ultimate "Pump and Dump" investment schemes.
    2
  31. Isn't the "smart" EV supposed to do the range math for you?
    2
  32. Silver lining: the enemy can't use abandoned vehicles.
    2
  33. I think NYC should "invest" in Taycans and give them to their new preferred illegal voters. Less waste of money than they are already engaged in.
    2
  34. It always catches them by surprise, because they are woefully ignorant. Concentrating on rainbows and unicorns at the expense of actual facts seems to be a big problem.
    2
  35. I did a lot of research before buying my truck. I avoided brands and models that had issues I did not want to deal with, and even bought a brand I did not want to buy because it rated better than the competition. Any "cool factor" was irrelevant.
    2
  36. Don't forget that they spent more than $1B and are $20M in debt after losing. And you know they CHEATED! 18M Dem votes didn't "disappear" after 2020, they were FRAUDULENT votes in 2020.
    2
  37. I heard on the radio that a new air traffic control center at one of the major airports in the US had two different grids feeding in from opposite directions, generators, and batteries to keep everything up and running. And it was built more than a decade ago.
    2
  38. Someone will make a decent profit refurbishing older petrol cars and trucks for the growing market.
    2
  39. Even when they are driving, they emit "smug".
    2
  40. I hope no lives are lost during the inevitable fire.
    2
  41. Coming soon: Electronic fart mufflers for smaller EVs.
    2
  42. We spend huge amounts of money to protect nuclear wasted during shipment. Why not similarly protect us from EVs./s
    1
  43. First they push people to drive smaller, more efficient vehicles. Then they ban the small, efficient motorcycles. Fay definitely made his finger flat.
    1
  44. The fuel aisles in the truck stops are bad enough with truckers blocking them while they go inside for "A cheeseburger and 'sodee' water". Imagine the cluster f*ck when it takes hours to charge and truckers decide to take a nap and oversleep.
    1
  45. The "good news" is that they made it to the dock without burning the ship to the waterline. Isn't this pricing what we call "dumping"?
    1
  46. Why can't I have a (free) petrol dispenser in the carpark of my apartment building? (same thinking)
    1
  47. To a politician, electrical power is like taxpayer funds. If you run out, you just vote to take more (from somewhere).
    1
  48. Not just political reasons for not wanting EVs. Logic, reason, and knowledge of engineering and/or physics deter people from EVs. But then, that usually makes you a conservative.
    1
  49. The people need to go old school to deal with these commie zealots. Tar and feathers comes to mind.
    1
  50. The government is just going to come to our homes and remove any copper they deem unnecessary for our needs.
    1
  51. Took them long enough. Simple idea. Like a trailer with a diesel generator.
    1
  52. Those crazy old Swiss bats need to have better mental health, in an asylum.
    1
  53. The Canoo van is upside down because it's down under in Australia, Mate.
    1
  54. The thumbnail gave me a great idea. Let's send all the old EVs to Cuba.
    1
  55. Anyone that didn't see the fake QR code scam coming needs a keeper.
    1
  56. Battery powered firetrucks could not be refueled as quickly as they are in this video @ 3:46 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfAY0x5CT7k
    1
  57. Unsafe condition justifying a government ordered recall. EV prices will be slashed so much that they will start giving them away to anyone that buys an ICE vehicle over a certain price point.
    1
  58. Jaguar went from "leaper" to "leper" with one insane advert.
    1
  59. "Just because you can doesn't mean you should."
    1
  60.  @Luka_3D  Yeah, those really old ones are worthy.
    1
  61. People might be willing to pay extra to park in a "No EV" parking garage.
    1
  62. Samsung should drop their phone prices to increase sales and revenue to make up for the auto battery issues. I'm looking to replace my phone.
    1
  63. I hope they paid their actors enough to buy new Jags. No one else will.
    1
  64. Climate alarmists ONLY have FUD. For our privacy, the law should demand "opt in" as a default.
    1
  65. I'm sure the EV owners will be fine with having to carry heavy, long cables in their vehicles when the charging stations only have connectors instead of cables. How about years long sentencing for any scrap yard that accepts cables marked as EV chargers?
    1
  66. Don't confuse the left with the facts. It only makes them throw tantrums and call you names.
    1
  67. Even facts that fall on them will not fill up the heads of lefties.
    1
  68. The same nitwits pushing "100% EVs" are the ones that fight the opening of any new mines.
    1
  69. "I took precautions, so go away."
    1
  70. Parking spot rage was already bad without EV owners desperate to preserve their "charging spot" in front of their home.
    1
  71. It's not just planned by the CCP. It's planned by our own governments.
    1
  72. What will the UK do when Russian or Chinese ships "accidentally" drag anchors over those undersea cables?
    1
  73. Self extinguishing batteries will probably double the cost of the battery pack.
    1
  74. "Hugging Face"? Like the crablike version of Alien?
    1
  75. The "net" is used to capture butterfly brains with "zero" intelligence.
    1
  76. So, will EV owners be taxed to pay for stouter guardrails? "...frankly ridiculous and unnecessary acceleration..." Yes, no on needs a "high capacity, fully automatic" vehicle.
    1
  77. "If you choose to walk we'll tax your feet." What's the standard for battery passport pictures?
    1
  78. I thought it was bad enough when they forced the Navy to use "biofuel" for ships at $24/gal. They'll be after the ammunition propellants and lead bullets next.
    1
  79.  @hendrickswart4122 More exciting. Teslas are often "bumper cars" too, and they record the collisions.
    1
  80. We already have zombies driving on our roads. They are not using brains to drive as they have dedicated all their grey matter to using their electronic devices, putting on makeup, stuffing their mouths with food, chatting with (and looking at) their passengers, rubbernecking...
    1
  81. ICE car fires are also likely to happen when they are in collisions. Are they including these fires in their statistics? It's not a coincidence that the EV defenders are like those defending criminals because they are also alphabet people.
    1
  82. "Our new EVs are HOT!" - Mercedes Benz
    1
  83. The "human nature" bit is important, because the left fails to account for it and/or believes they can change it.
    1
  84. I hope that someone is filing a flurry of FOIAs to make the government show all of its communications on the Moss Landing fire. Ironic that EPA is worried about the EV batteries, but not the ones at Moss Landing.
    1
  85. My vehicle disconnects the inside handle from the mechanism in certain circumstances, which is why I carry a glass breaker.
    1
  86. Even Waymo cars want to try drifting.
    1
  87. Demanding a 60% reduction shows a total lack of understanding when it comes to the law of diminishing returns.
    1
  88. If I install a NASCAR type fueling system in my car, the fuel can be dumped into the tank in a couple of seconds. It still costs the same per gallon.
    1
  89. Stellantis is already in big trouble and already laying people off.
    1
  90. A mobile charging truck is a great idea for those situations when cold weather leads to long lines at the charging stations. But it should cost at least twice as much to use them.
    1
  91. "Plan ahead", buy a petrol car.
    1
  92. When the story broke, and hours after, I saw no video of the active scene. Normally the press is allowed near enough to record.
    1
  93. Well, Mr. Bean is doing his part to save us. He has (nearly) single handedly killed the EV market in the UK, according to hand wringers.
    1
  94.  @DwaynePipes  He put out a video listing his issues with his EV and opined that the EV industry is duping customers.
    1
  95.  @DwaynePipes  No, but the media have to sensationalize the lagging sales.
    1
  96.  @DwaynePipes  Took me less than 5 seconds to find an article about it. Exercise your flabby fingers for once.
    1
  97. Yeah, I should go over to I-95 to take a road trip, despite more interesting drives around my location with very few charging stations.
    1
  98. I had some troll insist that EV sales are not in trouble when I mentioned the Mr. Bean blame game. If only there was a way to force the dimwits to do an internet search.
    1
  99. Big cities have no understanding of the needs and desires of flyover country, and they are the ones forcing EVs down our throats.
    1
  100. As if the greenies give a fig about human rights. Kamala should have been taken to school in the little, yellow, school bus. With a helmet on.
    1
  101. It's a shame what's happening to Tesla, but liking the CEO's stand on certain issues won't guaranty that the company will continue to thrive when reality hits.
    1
  102. Woo hoo! My tinfoil hat (which has been so handy in the last few years) can screw up self driving cars!

  103. The sh*t has hit the fanboys!

  105. LG seems unable to make quality batteries or refrigerator compressors.
    1
  106. Insurance companies wake up to the opportunity to charge a lot more.
    1
  107. It's OK that the UK's ambulances cannot answer calls. Most of them will be for illegal non-citizens and they will exceed call capacity even with petrol powered vehicles.
    1
  108. Both the government and city dwellers haven't thought it through. I need to get a T-Shirt saying that I am an "Extractivist"!
    1
  109. Imagine going to a petrol station and finding the hoses all cut off.
    1
  110. I suggest the noise makers for EVs sound like playing cards in a bicycle's spokes.
    1
  111. Biden is the ultimate lame duck. No one cares what he says anymore (except for Kamala, who's campaign he is torpedoing.) Volkswagen workers are "worried" that they will get a plush termination packaged that will allow them a lot more time to look for new jobs than Americans get.
    1
  112. It's a tax on people that feel rather than think.
    1
  113. I strongly suggest that Victoria residents "work on" their own government by changing out the defective parts.
    1
  114. Someone needs to rent diesel generator trailers for EVs.
    1
  115.  @Shawn-c2i  I'm sure they will have a charging port that allows you to use your phone or laptop to power the plane for a few more feet.
    1
  116. I'm waiting for the videos of "Flash Charging" stations going up in a flash when something goes wrong.

  117. Jag-u-offs

  118. Seems that all you need to know is the name and contact information of the vehicle's owner so you can ask them the make and model of the torch was.
    1
  119. I would have moved the car closer to the house.
    1
  120. What will they do when the tarps are made of soy?
    1
  121. You can bet that $7.5B is paying for a lot of new government employees that basically do nothing but shuffle papers.
    1
  122. Part of the concerted effort to dumb down students is an absolute failure to teach them about basic logistics and the enormous scale of supplying all the goods and services we now enjoy. And there is nothing and no one (other than the elites and their pets) that will not be sacrificed on the GREEN alter.
    1
  123. A damning expose of cell company failure to provide decent service.
    1
  124. Like "bringing back" Maggie Thatcher but totally woke and pro labor.
    1
  125.  @Audioremedy0785  You cannot be serious.
    1
  126. He would do well in government. And the story reminds me of the firms Barry Obama threw money at. Money that disappeared into his friends' pockets before the companies went t*ts up.
    1
  127. I worry about my ICE vehicle because of its "safety feature" that stops the interior door handles from operating the door in certain circumstances. Who knows what might make the doors inoperable in an emergency.
    1
  128. The people pushing EVs are also pushing to put people in congested multi-unit dwellings in congested cities, where they are likely to NOT be able to install a decent charging station at home.
    1
  129. If I was less than honest, and really jonesing for a nice set of panels, they might disappear from an idiot's car.
    1
  130. "...what the hell they should be doing." They should be convincing people to vote the insane left out of power.
    1
  131. I wonder if the Land Rover brand will distance itself from this dreck, or become assimilated into the Borg Collective. The tyranny of the minority cannot end fast enough.
    1
  132. Using regenerative braking to extend your range when you are already at risk of not making your destination illustrates your lack of understanding when it comes to basic physics. You waste energy when you brake when you don't have to slow down because you have to accelerate again and no system is free of loss.
    1
  133. Battery manufacturers don't have to "care" because they are part of a "green" industry. Just like wind turbine and solar panel manufacturers.
    1
  134. The Cyber Truck makes the Honda Ridgeline look almost as good as a real pickup.

  136. Banning classics in Kalifornistan may be the final straw for voters there.

  137. Just like the wireless charger for my phone.

  141. That Labor managed to win is proof that the voters aren't sane.

  142. That propane canister fire is years old, and obviously PROPANE canisters. 3:52 That guy wasn't thinking straight, or he would have reversed out of their inside of his protective cage.
    1
  143. Why were there TWENTY ebikes in one garage?
    1
  144. Maybe Tesla should clear out the blocks the protestturds live on instead of forests.
    1
  145. Some living there needs to buy a generator, mount it on a trailer, and add charging cables to it. Charge them double to skip the que.
    1
  146. Anyone that watches the "Wham Bam Teslacam" channel on YT KNOWS how ridiculous repair costs are for them.
    1
  147. I'm confident that they will eventually create a smart enough AI to safely drive the car. Unfortunately, many drivers will hop into their vehicles and program a destination, only to hear "I'm sorry Dave, I cannot do that." followed by a protracted argument.
    1
  148. China is raising rates for utilities through the roof right now. They even have gas meters that keep increasing with the gas shut off.
    1
  149.  @TheRealWindlePoons  I would guess that the short answer is "Net Zero".
    1
  150. Well, they already fell for the EV propaganda, proving they are not great thinkers.

  159. There must be videos out there of how to make your own lithium smoke bomb from smaller batteries.
    1
  160. It costs a lot for the rental company to charge an EV because their employees take forever to figure out how to plug the darned thing in.
    1
  161. My brother had a subsidized Nest thermostat from the electric company in his house until he learned that it could be used to limit his air conditioner.

  162. I already listed "eclipsters" as idiots. Tesla eclipsters are double idiots.
