The Boring Future

[JohnS]

Rip Curl Bells Beach in ON.  For my .02 surfing buddies... 1st priority surfing, 2nd, .02...

I may not be on the EV car thing yet, but I'm all over these for camping "glamping" in the 2002.  

 

You've got to keep dem coldies cold.  That's important... and the food...

 

I see a rear seat delete in my future   My camping buddy of 40+ years just bought one of these for his Toyota Tundra and now I want one...

 

 

 

 

 

I always felt part of the fun in camping was getting the car and going on a beer and ice run.

Love it…I never surfed Bells but got to surf Winkipop, if you’ve heard of it…right next door.

Need pics of the aussies and the 02’s

or the face of something that's just had an anal suppository administered.

 

What's funny is to watch the newest generations of ICE cars trend toward that same look...

 

BTW, I tend to agree- BEV is not a 100% solution.  But a 72% solution now is far better than what we HAVE been doing.

 

t

was once quite excited about an electric Focus until it turned out to cost more than an RS and not

actually have the real- world range to do his 60 mile freeway commute in the winter...

 

Hmmm, someone seems to have an anal bum kink?

 

As with everything, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and fortunately for EV's, form follows function for aerodynamics and efficiency.

 

The future is now old man! (stolen from Malcolm in the Middle)

I'm with Toby. I think many of the new designs, including EV cars look as if they were shaped by human bowels .

The soft blob form is simply reflective of the appliance owners and operators... Those POS turds will still be offgassing when they go to the crusher. Eco my ass.

So instead of methane being released millions of years from now, the underground pockets will be Chlorine and Benzine.  

 

Greta's grand children will be even more angry.

What makes you think a EV has more plastic in it than the same year ICE car, there all plastic now.

I don’t know…I sorta think the Cybertruck is the only Tesla that isn’t boring😂😂😂

[bob02]

SOM, my point is simply that there won’t be a message board dedicated to teslas or any other ev 50 years from now. 10 years and they’re obsolete the same way a laptop is. To me, buying any new car is an environmental crime. Ok, I’ll shut up now.

This is probably more of a comment on our economic system than just autos...we're always pushed to have the newest newest stuff. 

 

No disagreement. Hearing people's car/maintenance payments makes me love my 02 even more.

Bob, I'm in agreement with the new car thing, just say no to planned obsolescents.

I admit that I'm ignorant about the latest electric cars.  What happens to the batteries when they give up the ghost?  They don't last forever do they?  How much does it cost to replace the batteries?  Is it like rebuilding an engine in terms of cost?  Can they be recycled?
