I like the EV i got and i like the idea. The idea of the fast growing rate of people buying EV's are proof people are on the same page. Obviously you'll have your doubters, like yourself.

BUT AGAIN WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT IT?

Not a damn fucking thing. Accept it already. You're acting like you have the answer. You don't. ANd if you did, you can't do shit about it to change what's to come.

Now which EV are you going to buy in the future?
So you just want what you want and don't care about the consequences. Did you not earn enough participation trophies?

I accept whatever is going to happen.

Not like there's a booth where you can vote or a petition you can sign going against this. Wait actually you can, you can vote for the right guy at the next election. Might make a difference, might not.

This thread was made to mock tesla and/or EVs. The shit got shot down quick.

The thread was made as a singular case to make a point. By your logic if driving is outlawed... no wait thats not realistic. If driving comes to a screeching halt because we totally fuck up our infrastructure, you accept that too.

Sorry I am not a drone citizen of the republik.

Have you seen the movie demolition man?

Don't worry it won't be like that in our lifetime.

If the ban does happen in 2035 (again we don't even know if that's set in stone), the used market will still allow people to drive ICE cars.

When elon makes the first flying car, then start to worry. His AI robot that debuted is very impressive lol.

The worrying about this whole thing is amusing. Cars are supposed to be a hobby. If this hobby fails find another.

They are supposed to be a resource/tool to support yourself and your family. That's why people get very interested in regulations that impact this resource.

I don't need to have the answer. You are asking questions that shouldn't be answered. This isn't a vote on whether what is happening is better for our future or not. They have mandates and restrictions set in place (again not sure about the 2035 date) and that's that. You ride with it or not. The inevitability will still take place.

That's like saying why does x NBA player makes x amount. 100k people might say yeah he's getting paid accordingly, x amount of people might say why would NBA players get paid that much.

Your last comment is proof that one person isn't enough to make a difference.

Everyone loves the EV's they buy, doesn't necessarily have to be tesla. Every car maker has an EV in their fleet now. This is so different than what you know if that has taken place in the past.

And the ever growing rate of EV purchases are proof.

Not sure why you're having a hard time understanding this. You're doing a bunch of typing asking questions regarding politics but that's irrelevant.

So ban every hobby that doesn't seem sensible in modern times?

People still collect baseball cards.

Cars are an appliance FIRST, anything else after that is secondary and not a priority.

We make up the small percentage in car ownership. Car makers don't care if we're mad there's no more engines. If they can sell 1 million EV's, while ICE heads cry, they'll continue to sell EV's.

They are in this game to make money.

Because I already typed questions about solving the issues this plan has with the laws of physics, and you don't answer. It seems you not only don't have answers, you don't even think you need them : "I don't need to have the answer".

You ask what anyone can even do about it. The answer is to use the political process. That's how this whole mandate got started, isn't it? A elected politician made a mandate. There is a political process to un-do that.

If EV's are inevitable, why mandate them? Like what fucking backwards logic is that? I'd say Everyone loves the EV's they buy. The ever growing rate of EV purchases are proof. that we don't need a mandate...

Right. I already said to the other guy when the next election comes up, make that vote and make a change.

I'm saying you're talking about politics HERE as if THAT'S going to make a difference. If you want to make a stand, then go to a place or source where you can make that difference. Complaining and whining about it here doesn't make sense.

We all know EV threads never play out well.

Regulating what kind of car a company is allowed to build shouldn't be on a political platform. Seriously why not just let the market and current tech of the day decide?

Whats next, no meat products allowed?

I'm not talking politics at all, I'm explaining that there is a process that can be used to dismantle an ill-advised mandate that you say can't be stopped. A mandate is a political tool to accomplish a political goal.

I don't see this discussion as a political ideology, but there is a process whereby these mandate things start and end. I even went so far as to prove the process works. Stop saying it can't be stopped and I'll stop saying it can.

I'm only Complaining and whining about how this is being implemented, not whether or not it will ever happen.

Everything you guys are talking about involve politics.

Be honest. You know damn well what would transpire in this thread before you opened this thread for the very first time.

It was an opportunity to showcase hate towards this movement and it backfired. You then resulted into talking politics so you can have a say in this discussion. It's the only way for anyone to participate.

Hate EV's? I know, let me talk my shit in that tesla thread. It's very easy to read.

It can't be stopped. You can keep saying it can until your eyes bleed. But it won't do anything. You're one person i don't need to convince.

Time will convince you.

Even what is in your water or what you can eat involves politics. That's a cheap cop-out, but that won't stop you it seems.

If you've been driving a lot and have used up a lot of your driving credits, better figure out another way to get to your destination.
100% agree. This will be just the beginning. The EV zealots have no idea what is coming for them. Misanthropic machinations wrapped in compassion pushed by narcissistic sociopaths hell bent on control & domination topped with greed. They think they are geniuses...Mao and Stalin did it better and long before. This is more the same, just a different paint job.

Ill break it down for our resident Tesla fan BGM-M3COMP (hey do you own Tesla stock or something?) who doesn't seem to understand:

The EV mandates have fuckall to do with the environment.

It is about power, control, greed. Same as it ever was.

You will soon be taxed on how and when you drive. EV's are the gateway.

You will be limited in how far you can drive and how fast you can accelerate, after all you don't want to consume more KW then is needed and you want to help the planet don't you citizen?

How much you eat and what you eat are next. After all, consuming to much meat or the wrong types of food wastes energy. You want to do you part to help the planet don't you citizen?

Your hobbies are next. They are unnecessary. After all you want to save energy and help the planet, right citizen?

Lets have a conversation about your home. Is heating and cooling 3000sqft for you family the right thing to do for the planet and society? Don't worry, keep going down this path and the bartenders like AOC will decide for you how much space you will be allowed to live in that has the least impact on the planet and society. After all, you want to do the right thing don't you citizen?

All of the above rules will not apply to the elite.

Do you see where this is going? A dangerous rabbit hole with no end. Will you continue to cheer lead all the way down BGM?
