This fits right in there. I?ll keep my big diesel. I?ll laugh at the electric truck that is on fire or overheated or who knows what on the side of a mountain road....some driver begging me to stop and plug in his truck to my battery with truck running for half an hour to get enough juice to make to to the next charging station. Or the guy who is up camping/hunting and his truck runs out of juice and wants to borrow my gas powered generator....nope, best get to walking with your sandals in the snow.

Well, looks like I'm a d-bag then.

Idiots. We needed a Supercharger to get home to my wife's family out-of-state. If we pulled up to a scene like that she would've whooped their asses herself. I would have let her too.

Nissan Leaf EV gangs might just park all their vehicle on ONE gas station nowhere near major interstate highway.

That last Tesla article is authored by someone so innocent that they don't even realize why someone like those truck drivers would hate Tesla. I laughed when they tried to take the American Made path.

I don't understand the Tesla hate, enlighten me.

Tesla isn't American made? That's news to me.

I don't get it either. Why should I care what kind of car someone else drives? If you want to drive an EV, knock yourself out. It's your money, your choice. If you choose to drive a Brand X, same thing. Why can't people just say, "EVs aren't for me. I prefer my Ford (or whatever)", and leave it at that?

It's not about American made, AFAIK.

Understand the hate for ICEs by elitists, and you're on the right track.

I'm in no way endorsing "icing" or whatever they want to call it that makes them feel superior.

I believe most humans like conflict at a sub-conscious level, so if there isn't something real to fight over, they will manufacture something unreal.

Apparently that's too mature of an attitude to expect from adults.

But he just said "I laughed when they tried to take the American Made path." as if it's not. I would think that this group, if any, would still care about something that's made by American hands in America for an American company that is actually innovating. Nah, we hate that. I don't get it at all and can only think it's all the untrue FUD that is being spewed as fact among the unwashed masses that lack two brain cells to run together.

I think a big part of it is in what you just said... anti-EV people see an EV (specifically a Tesla) and they assume some Elitist is driving it along with his political stance and hopes and ambitions in life. That's an awful lot to know for sure based on the car they drive. That's a you problem, not a me problem. I drive a Tesla Model S because it's hands down the best car I've ever driven. If you want to assume my ideology based on that I'm not going to lose much sleep.

We can at least agree that this ICEing thing is idiotic as a basis for agreement. If you can't at least agree on that then you're irrational and we don't even have a starting point from which to discuss. I'm glad to see we at least agree on one thing. lol
