I've tried putting people on ignore, but it makes the website look unreadable, at least to me anyway.

Plus, I don't want to be like Tom and put every single person on ignore.

I don’t want to change your mind, but if you spew lies I’m going to correct them. Just stop making up lies and presenting them as a fact,

I'm going to keep spewing lies and presenting them as facts.

If it gets your panties in a wad, I'm all for it.

Admitting you are blatantly lying because you are a troll is certainly a good first step.

You’re becoming Tom?

I'm all for fighting fire with fire.

I wish others would do the same.

You calling me a troll doesn't bother me.

You're an ant to me.

BTF,

Tom and I are essentially the same person.

haha, no you aren't. Not even close.

At least you don't see it that way.

Checked my EV efficiency for the last year.

3,873kWh to travel 11,342 miles with a spend of $603. That’s a mix of mostly home charging at 13.5 cents a kWh and some super charging that averages out to 35 cents a kWH.

So at $4 a gallon gasoline it’s like driving a car that gets 75.3mpg. If all my charging was at home it would be the equivalent cost of covering the same ground in a car that gets 89mpg.

If I had a car that averaged 30mpg my costs are the equivalent of paying $1.59 a gallon to cover the same distance for $603.

Will you sell it before the batteries go out?

I wish people wouldn't quote them.

People are stupid.

And they say I have no control.

Yeah right.

Battery is at 96% health at three years without me babying it (I’ve just been charging it to 100% at home as it’s LFP). I will return the lease and get another new EV, but the battery warranty is 8 years 120k miles so better than the warranty on my trucks cam phasers or 10 speed which have been giving up the ghost at a rapid rate in 18 to 22 model years.

Don't call my dog stupid

I get the old heads screaming about EVs. Old trucks were built to last. But screaming about EV batteries doesn't mean much with what the Big 3 are putting out. My 2021 ford 10 speed **** the bed at 70,000 miles. Thankfully what I thought was the gimmick lifetime powertrain warranty replaced it.

And while many poo poo EV's, if there were none or even way fewer EV's, there would be a much larger demand for gasoline...and in case you're not aware...a much larger demand would result in a much higher price for gasoline.

Dont care
