In order to feel safe they have to project the idea that Tesla owners are all liberal greenies and not normal people that simply made an educated decision to buy a vehicle that fit their needs.

Libs try so damn hard to convince others a product is as good or better.

It's simple. It's an inferior product right now, and there really isn't much argument. There are a ton of red flags and concerns that need to get ironed out to believe this is the best way forward. Maybe in 10 years, it will be the better product, but I'm highly skeptical. I'll stick with gas now and likely for my next vehicle purchase as well. Hoping that's a long way off since my truck is paid off.

To each their own. I'm all about choices. Nothing against EVs if that is what someone wants to do. I just ask that the government doesn't influence those choices (laughable), but rather stays the hell out of it and lets people make their own choice based on accurate information given and what their needs are.
What does driving an EV have at all to do with being a lib? Please educate me.

Inferior product? What an asinine and uneducated statement. I could have bought any vehicle I wanted to get to work and back. The EV is the best choice I could have made by a long shot for multiple reasons.

Do you take the home owner's mortgage deduction on your taxes? Charity deduction? Do you put pretax dollars into your 401 K or use pretax dollars for your health insurance? Then you are a hypocrite for complaining about an EV tax credit..


Never let a bad analogy keep you from posting my friend.

Any house qualifies. Any legit charity qualifies. Etc

Now, if they only allowed a deduction for giving to Christian churches, and I chose to give to a Christian church, I guess you could call me a hypocrite.

Some people don't want to drive an EV, shocking I know. And those people are not getting the same benefit. Those people are paying for part of your car.

That's ridiculous. Not all people buy a house. Not all people give to charity. The gubment decides they want to encourage some specific behavior, rightly or wrongly, and you decide if you want to participate. My guess is all the EV haters are just lol poors that live in a trailer and spend all weekend fiddling with their carburetors on their old truck because fuel injection is the devil's work. I'm truly sorry their life decisions made it impossible for them to enjoy the latest and greatest vehicles. Time to do better, my friend.

There should be no tax credits for EV's. Tesla proved they weren't needed. It was simply a gift to the auto union and why Tesla was excluded from them in initial legislation.

Tesla doors have a mechanical emergency release
And when they're all bent up from a wreck…
Or the sheet metal has warped from that battery fire that can't be extinguished with water…

I mean that can happen in any serious accident.

Keep a sheet metal punch or winshield breaker in your car.


That's what happened in the Salt Lake City fire I cited earlier. 3 occupants, car drives at high speed (characteristic for Tesla drivers in my experience) on a curve and leaves road, hitting a tree. The flames were so intense that the fire department couldn't extinguish it for an hour and a half, leaving the 3 to die. They basically had no chance to escape and the fire commander said that such batteries can produce a 5,000 degree F burn. Plus the pollution to the crash site.

I'm going to seriously ask for facts regarding the crash, yes. There is nothing in that article that says they were killed as a result of fire. For all we know they were killed on impact at high speed. Which happens every single day in every type of vehicle on the road.

Quote:

A woman and three passengers in a sedan were driving south Tuesday in the northbound lanes of U.S. 441 when the vehicle hit a northbound SUV driven by another person, officials said. All five died in the fiery aftermath of the head-on collision near Lake Sinclair, north of Milledgeville.

The crash happened just before 1 a.m. on a four-lane stretch of the highway, Putnam County Sheriff Howard Sills told local news outlets. He said the Honda Civic, driven by 22-year-old Hailey Brooke Hayes, appeared to have been on the wrong side of the highway for more than a mile when it hit a Nissan Xterra driven by Mayla Dostie, 44.

Showing an ICE vehicle crash really doesn't help your argument though. Yes, all vehicles crash but the point you're refusing to admit is EVs have a far more dangerous fire threshold and some of the software can be dangerous too.

I didn't say they were alive because I don't know. The article and the fire folks say the flame onset was so rapid and intense and widespread that they had no chance to escape if they were alive.

No I didn't. They were "left to die" regardless of whether anyone was alive or not because we don't know the passenger positions nor do we have publicly available data on the crash physics. We DO know that a very quick and furious fire ignited because of the batteries and that forced any would-be rescuers to postpone any rescue attempts. If you want to dispute the extent, onset and intensity of the fire, maybe you could cite a firefighting source to repudiate what the on scene incident commander related.
