"Electric Vehicles are Actually Worse for the Environment than Internal Combustion Cars"

[Jer]

Um, I'm pretty certain CO2 is what plants crave. Obama's EPA and the UN designated it as a pollutant for global political purposes - doesn't make it so.

Gas cars do not use the same batteries as electric cars - thought you'd know this. I have yet to read about a gas car's battery spontaneously combusting and remain burning for a period of days. Plenty of articles related to EV battery safety issues.

"outdated opinion" is a term often used by high-minded progressives, and nope, facts make me "more right" whatever that means.

No, electrolytes are what plants crave. Duh!



I'm not talking about a 12v battery in a gas powered car. I'm talking about the gigantic liquid bomb underneath that people said would kill everyone if we used it to power our vehicles.

Why do I feel like i'm having the same damn conversation with the same damn people?

I honestly don't know who is more annoying. The EV haters or the EV evangelists.

Its like watching people argue with Vegans, Apple users or CrossFitters.

I listened to the Joe Rogan with the guy who has a YouTube channel around him rebuilding Teslas from salvage and that guy was like, "Tesla owners are like Apple but worse because there is a green element, and you live inside the product as well." I was going to post the link here, but they only talked about Tesla for like 20 minutes out of 3 hours. Basically the guy bought a few from salvage and made one working car. Even completely totaled Teslas go for at least $15,000 in salvage. He sold a non-working motor that was full of salt water on ebay for $5,000.

That can happen when you talk religion with non-believers.

Except it assumes I'm gung-ho about the planet saving element which I'm not. I've made that clear numerous times. I'm not trying to convert anyone I'm trying to correct misinformation. I don't care if EVs aren't for you or anyone else but people should at least be allowed to make a decision based on actual facts and not FUD and made up bullshit that gets parroted as if it were fact.

Rich Benoit is the guy that was on the Joe Rogan podcast. He's the same one that has the popular YouTube channel called RichRebuilds that most anti-Tesla people assume I've never seen and use as proof that you can't buy parts for Teslas. They don't realize how old those videos were and how much has changed since he started that process. I tend to agree with him on most things though as he's not a Tesla fanboi nor am I. The problem is when I get into a room of Tesla haters the optic is that I am a Tesla fanboi just trying to defend the FUD, misinformation & hate.

It's actually a lot like trying to convince an anti-gun person that guns can't kill people themselves and require bad people with bad intentions to kill innocent people. They dig their feet in based on a movie they saw once and there's no convincing them no matter how much fact & proof you beat them over the head with.
