Certainly doesn't inspire confidence that grille cover.

Ouch. I really enjoy Savage Geese. I find their reviews pretty honest, and this one doesn't make the Mustang MachE very appealing.

Hertz CEO doing damage control over how their EV fleet has been a drain on the company in terms of CapEX and OpEx. The increasing rate of depreciation of EVs along with price slashing by Tesla on new car prices has killed Hertz's ability to sell their EV cars when it's time to refresh their fleet. And the company wasn't prepared to deal with the higher cost of maintaining these vehicles.

Not only has the gub ment or whoever is the pol icy maker got the manufacturers in a stranglehold to sell a percentage of ev's or be fined hugely if they don't meet sales targets which they make, do you think they'll care when they give up and return to normal, scrapping the '35 deadline and then saying 'oh well we thought it was a good idea at the time' being non accountable to the car makers and 'sorry but we keep the fines anyway'...as he puts his Ray Bans and black baseball hat on.

I'll bite on the capacity and range but I don't want to be any where near a battery pack that is charged to that range capacity in 10 minutes.

Sounds promising, but I'll believe it when I see it.

In 2027 Toyota plans to announce they are excited about offering solid state batteries in 2030-2032.

And Tesla will have full autonomous driving "any day now", since 2019.

My wife and I were talking about that yesterday. She spent some time in the Government Transportation sector. It was pretty clear then about 2019 that there were too many obstacles for full autonomous cars to make it realistic for well over a decade, maybe more.

I wrote this many times in the autonomous threads. I spent 15 years in the government transportation sector implementing new technology for the FAA. I worked directly with the FAA/DOT. I said then and I'll repeat what your wife has espoused, there is no way on God's green earth that the US DOT (or any Western government) will let private companies develop and implement Level 5 autonomous driving without government intervention.

The Government literally dictates EVERY aspect of automotive design, operation, manufacture and recycling (safety, emissions, and manufacturing environmental impact) down to the violates content of automotive paint. Thinking any government will not be directly involved and not develop regulations of the machine driving itself is more nearsighted than Mr. Magoo.

Interesting video I ran across. The guy decided to use his Model 3 for ride sharing. Said the operating costs were much cheaper than his ICE Camry. He put over 100k miles on his Model 3 in a year with having to fast charge his car twice a day. He said after the battery crossed 100k miles in usage the range fell off the cliff. It forced him to have to pay $9k for a "new" battery. He speculates the "new" battery Tesla installed is actually a refurb because the estimated max range on 100% charge of the "new" battery falls short of a brand new car. In addition, Tesla is only providing a one year warranty on the battery. The speculation is the numerous fast charging he subjected the battery to and the fact he charged the battery up to 90 to 100% each time. He says now he charges at home and only charges the "new" battery to 80%.

While this is might be an extreme case that most people will never see, it foreshadows the stupidity of forcing commercial haulers to go EV.

But even after all of this, the guy still worships at the church of Tesla.

I did not watch the video. I wonder how much he saved/lost using gasoline cost savings, electrical cost, new battery. He probably still came out ahead

I suspect the trade in/re-sale value of his car is rubbish. When he sells it he'll need to factor that into his operating costs.

Honda has been advertising electric lately talking about how they are working on an electric airplane. Hell will absolutely freeze over before I step foot on any electric airplane.

Refurbishing a LiPo pack is a fools errand. Replacing out single cells with new cells with higher voltage, lower internal resistance and higher capacity will leave the packs out of balance and there is NO way to address that with pack balancing used in EV's. The batteries will only perform at the level of the most depleted cell in the battery pack.

Interesting facts:

Why, what could possibly go wrong?
