I can confirm that one can never reach a level of excessive heavy duty trucks, whether an individual or a nation. This is a natural law.

My comment wasn't about the number of HD trucks, it was about the number of idiot HD truck drivers who squat in the left lane and apparently are too stupid to 1) use Bluetooth with their phone and 2) understand the "left lane is for passing only" sign.

PLEASE eliminate the CAFE standards that Obama/Biden put in place. Codify this with legislation.

It's caused so many problems with new vehicles, even one's that have been historically reliable vehicles. It is AWFUL for the consumer.
Hell Yes.

So much for Elon running the show
I don't think Elon wants this program.

Elon has chargers in Washington

Why would he want the govt to subsidize chargers for his competition?

The world needs mean tweets

My experience has also been that trucks are the worst offenders of obstructing traffic in the passing lane

I seriously think that we should have a separate, stricter driving test for pickup trucks. Prove that you can actually handle and park a taller and heavier vehicle, so you're not a threat to everyone else on the road.

Trucks are great when they're actually used as work vehicles, but nowadays there are way too many suburban office drones who just use them as male compensation devices.

Cutting the waste is a great thing. Here's one of the commie's favorites, Lion electric school bus outfit, which is apparently giving up after swindling investors and tax payers for the past several years. Naturally, Kamala/Biden loved them.

If someone wants to drive a golf cart, fine, but we shouldn't be subsidizing them or the plugs etc.

Now, do those ****ty induction stoves.


Sorry you don't like power and precision when cooking
Precision? What does that even mean? Power? If you want power then get a gas stove or get outside with the propane.

Just build more Buc-ees. Win/Win
Are those diesel generators powering the chargers?
Does it matter? It feels good because many EV owners "believe" they are making a difference.

Induction ranges can pinpoint the level of heat you want digitally and almost instantly change it to another or turn it off. As far as power, they heat the cookware itself directly, so more energy is transferred without loss so whatever you're heating arrives at target temp faster than comparable gas.

I had a gas thermador. I pulled it for induction and won't go back.

That's one way to do it. I guess. Maybe just get better at cooking instead of hiding behind some unnecessary digital technology?

Chefs like Kenji Lopez Alt are also pro induction and it's gaining popularity with others. You probably say the same about sous vide cooking too.

Hell take a look at the number of posters on the outdoors board using pellet grills and digital probes to dial in and control their cooks.

Wipe out the EPA regulation preventing cars getting high mpg like the CRX 51mpg or the euro avail Jetta 45mpg. 50-80mpg is possible. Let the goobers virtue signal with beep beep cars.

Bring back the stick and V8 muscle.

How about we start with doing something about the nearly 10,000 traffic deaths in the last three years directly tied to cell phone use.

Elons position is that all subsidies are bad. He will be in favor of this because he generally seems principled. He also knows his company is best positioned to thrive from this over competition.

Seriously? OK……you have two options.

1. Having both hands (or even one hand but the other is free) on the wheel and conducting a conversation using Bluetooth.
2. Having one hand on the wheel and the other is holding up a phone.

Which one allows you to focus on driving better AND allows you to react better if you need to maneuver in a react type situation?

It'll be interesting to see what Elon has to say about this.


Elon has already said that it will hurt Tesla some, but hurt his competitors more. He already got all the free gov giveaways he needed, so he's happy to take a little hit to make sure his competitors can't get off the ground.
what's a little quid pro quo between friends to protect your monopoly? he deserves to benefit from kickbacks for being such a patriot

You've never hear of Kenji Lopez, one of founders of Serious Eats and author of the Food Lab?

Gotcha, that makes sense. My old truck doesn't have Bluetooth so didn't know if there was something I was just missing.
