You said the prices were too high, here is proof that the prices are coming down, almost 20% in a year.
You said American manufacturers aren't making cheaper EVs, this article talks about cheaper American EVs.
You cried that American EV manufacturers are going to try to trick their way around regulations, while apterra is making 400 to 1,000 mile range EVS with solar charging 40 mi a day, a very clear example of auto innovation.
Don't throw a tantrum because your complaints were so flimsy.
20% down after increasing overall for the last decade is not proof. You sound like some marketing manager telling me how the price of cereal has dropped by 20% afte you rose the price for the last 5 years by 300%...
No where did I say that ..
Yeah didn't say that either...and aptera is a tiny company that doesn't even have a final release on the car from their website... it's probably going to be vaporware just like most of these EVs that sport massive mileage claims.
Lol yeah I'm the one throwing the tantrum...you EV militants are hilarious.
It's very clear you find hard evidence hilarious.
'Vaporware".
Don't use words you don't know the meaning of because you're embarrassed of being proved wrong.
Lol ok kid, please show me this ev that's in production and has been tested
That's what the entire article i provided is about. Don't blame other people because you never learned how to read.
You didn't provide an article on the magical ev you keep yapping on about. And as I said before you provided an article on how prices have dropped even though the last 5 years was just constantly raised prices. I'm not the child simping for a ev maker that has no products on the market or any real world data.
We got it, you don't like evidence, numbers or reading.
Noted.
So you can't provide anything that the car company you keep simping for is legit and has a car...got it.
You're wrong again!
But at least with you reiterating that you don't know how to read, nobody else has to bring up your sad fact.
Uhh ok kid.
Don't worry squirt, once you learn how those big scary books work, things won't seem so daunting.
Kk kid
You got it sport.
Just an honest quick question. Do you hate on EV's because fox "news" tells you to?
I don't hate on EVs, I think they're great. The applications they have are for city drivers not for rural and long haul people or even people who live in apartments. They're getting there but right now isnt the time to try and push everyone to EVs forcefully.
Fair, I do think however, more people could use them but are falling for the propaganda. Apartment living could be an issue, especially if you can't charge it at your workplace. Almost anyone with a house though, could get one and likely benefit from it.
O absolutely, and I'm sure they'll continue to get better, but telling people who can't afford them or can't use them because of the lack of infrastructure where they live doesn't help drive the conversation in any meaningful way. Which unfortunately you can see from some of the replies towards me have been.
