You expect a FREE RIDE?

You would think you would be more thankful to the people that are helping lower the price of YOUR gas.

My gas prices are going up because the number of sheep that have switched to electric isn't big enough to cause dent in demand.

EV is not the future. They are never going to replace IC engines. Let me know when hydrogen, or some other "clean" method that mirrors IC, starts becoming a mainstream push. Then I might take an interest.

Ah yes supply and demand does not exist? It is true that gas is extremely inelastic but I assure you if Tesla, Prius, and other hybrid/electric cars did not exist your gas prices would be higher.

Just say thank you. Its ok. Gas serves a purpose as do EVs.

Like that has any impact whatsoever. I am going to stop now before this thread ends up in D.C.

As calculated earlier, the energy cost of producing the Tesla Model S Long Range battery pack is equivalent to about 15.76 barrels of oil, or about 2,675.2 gallons of diesel fuel.Feb 26, 2023

Are you under the impression that other cars don't take any energy to make? I don't understand what you are trying to prove here.

Maybe if I had underlined, bolded and italicized BATTERY you might have understood better.

Gen Ex ends in like 1980. I am a Millennial or more accurately a Xennial. A millennial but not a pussy. I grew up in the good ole days where we used to call each other bundle of stickss for no reason.

Also, any manufacturing costs for the creation of the batteries can be greatly offset or reduced in the future being that 90%-100% of the battery can be recycled.

Please don't be mad. I'm not mad at you for driving an ICE vehicle.
