    Interesting Articles Relating to EVs

    But does anyone really think all those scientists and government agencies telling us we need to get off oil and coal are really stupid or ill-informed? Or worse yet, part of some global conspiracy? In that case, I can see we never will be able to discuss this and I'll just pick up my marbles and...

    Interesting Articles Relating to EVs

    Yah, I don't want to get into dueling links either. But, I would ask does it make sense for a lot of pretty smart folks to spend their time and money building or buying EVs for more money than ICVs if they were not better in some way or other? That doesn't make "common sense" either. Then...

    Water Powered Generator, Converting H20 into Hydrogen as fuel & O2 as Clean Exhaust!

    If we can safely and efficiently extract H from H2O and use it for fuel directly in our vehicles, it sounds like a pretty good idea to me. Or, maybe do the same to produce electricity in bulk instead of using coal and other fossil fuels and use that energy in some way to power our...

    Happy, Please do not take this wrong.... Do you fact-check articles you see in the NY Post? I do and this story does not stand up to the rest of what science has to say. If you want I can provide a list of sources that say otherwise.

    You are correct. I thought that would have been obvious. I guess not. Also, I didn't want to have to explain AGAIN about the difference between commercial fast chargers and what we could get from an on-board 240v level 2 charger.

    Interesting Articles Relating to EVs

    My opinion is that in this country, companies produce products to make money. Period. If Henry Ford had been a successful buggy maker he probably would have never made the cars he did. If the Wright brothers had made more money making bikes, we would have had to wait for someone else to fly...

    Interesting Articles Relating to EVs

    Happy, I can't argue with that. However, if some of us want or like EVs for environmental or climate reasons, that is certainly as interesting to talk about as maintenance costs and problems.

    Interesting Articles Relating to EVs

    We were talking Env Damage and now it has become hybrid and EV mech problems. Seems like some"moving the goalposts" to me. But, OK. Since hybrids have BOTH IC and Elec, I would expect them to have a combination of both vehicle's problems. So, no surprise there. And, as "Jake Fisher, senior...

    Interesting Articles Relating to EVs

    Yes, VW was fined for hiding their true emissions, as I recall. But I was talking about the Environmental Damage coming from ICV tailpipes that we seem to forget about or just accept. I think if we stepped back and looked at the big picture it might look slightly different. 1. We have one EV...

    Smashed my Pixel 7

    I would do a local net search for cell phone repair. If or when you find one compare their price to your alternatives. I once cracked an iPhone screen and was able to find a local guy who repaired it, despite all the roadblocks Apple puts up.

    I just reread the above and do not see where I defended Tesla's violation nor did I see any explanation of exactly what individuals were responsible. Tesla was fined and they both cooperated and paid the fine. I'm totally OK with that. I might object to certain biased reporting though. This...

    Interesting Articles Relating to EVs

    Carla, Not once did I defend an environmental violation. I simply pointed out that there are many reasons some industries might have to attack Tesla. I'm fine with fining Tesla for any violations. I want any manufacturers held to higher standards. But, on the general topic of EVs vs. ICV, I...

    And you probably don't think this is a personal attack either. <Shrug> But I do agree that an honest discussion with some people is not possible.

    AC In a Camry or trade for Prius

    I would double-check if whatever Jackery (or other power station) you might be considering can run an AC. Offhand, I don't know of any. It's not the voltage that matters, it's the surge wattage to just start an AC compressor. That takes a lot! Then whatever station or battery setup you have...

    Interesting Articles Relating to EVs

    So.... Here are my objections. 1. I posted about Tesla, EVs, and other related subjects. G8 made it personal and posted about ME and what I should have done differently. I think that is worth a little reconsideration. 2. I previously said I dislike videos for TWO reasons, not just safety...

    G8, I don't understand THIS post. I don't feel defensive, but I suppose I could ask you the same. In one post you said: "Ron, 2 clicks on google proves it in way less time than it took to type your post. Why didn't you just check before the lecture?" In this one, you asked: "Why didn't you...

    Secure Phones?

    dhuff, I was an MCSE (back in the day) but I am not well versed on today's security problems for individuals. So... as a Cybersecurity Expert, I'd like to ask... Assuming I don't believe or care if there is some global or US government conspiracy leading up to the Apocalypse, what should I...

    I read your link - and others as well. The counties accused Tesla of violating state unfair business and hazardous waste management laws by improperly labeling waste and sending the materials to landfills that cannot accept hazardous material. The district attorneys' statements said Tesla...
