Yeah, because the people you trust have never been wrong before on massively important worldwide things right? Never?

We should just stop man. However, I appreciate you proving my point. Thank you.

and what would those things be and who are these people?

yeah you should just stop..the only thing you have proven is your ignorance when it comes to EV's and the effects carbon emissions have on the planet.

god forbid you actually look into it

I have a feeling that everyone one the planet that disagrees with you or holds a different opinion is ignorant in your eyes.

Keep in mind those same people that you seem to look up to absolutely insisted we were going to go through another Ice Age not too long ago. There are many articles from them in the late 1970s and early 1980s. So there’s that.

It's short sighted and misses the fact that it's a continuum of change, it has already begun, and some of these adults in charge are morons.

You have that in writing? I'll surely be alive in 2060.

Do you really think we should just ignore studies by NASA, MIT, EPA, etc just so you can keep buying what you want for the rest of your life? Should we just ignore speed limits and drive as fast as we want also?
Or should we try to what is truly best for this planet ?

Don't be hyperbolic please. I'm not ignoring it. I'm studying it, and all the proposed solutions. EV's aren't the best answer to the problem, but it's the one that's getting the most effort, laws, and taxpayer funds. What is truly best for our planet is a whole slew of other things we aren't doing or spending money/effort on.

Cobalt is being phased out of battery chemistries anyway.

If cobalt mining is the worst thing you can pull out here, then it seems like a clear winner. The global impact of climate change is going to be destructive to far more people. I never heard a peep about cobalt, tantalum, and other conflict mineral mining (both widely used in electronics for 40+ years) from this crowd until EVs became a political item.

Tejas1836 · 03-02-2023, 01:38 AM

Just keep your head in the sand and keep pretending it doesn't exist. Not your kids, so what.
First time I've heard child slave labor "a clear winner".
Lithium mining is raping the earth.
Windmills are killing whales and endangered birds.
Over 20 million American families are behind on their electricity bills.
Utility companies will need almost $6,000 per EV to upgrade the infrastructure.
Damn sure it is a political, social fight.

You'll be older and wiser to stick with the M3 and dump the EV before it becomes worthless and pollutes the planet with dead batteries that can't be re-cycled

I don't give a fucking shit about the planet. You guys are probably right about EV's being worse for the environment. That's not why i got one.

It's happening and there's nothing we can do about it. Might as well just try to find one you like and accept it

Wow, how sad

M5Rick · 03-02-2023, 07:16 AM

Very good differences of opinion from everyone, we're getting into every nook and cranny about the pros and cons of EV's and from my perspective there are far more cons.
To recap, the biggest con with me is the way the EV programmes were brought in with many underlying issues being steamrollered over and blatantly ignored.
Keep them coming guys

We’ll all be dead by the time you see any effects from the “ev world”.

I don’t have kids so I couldn’t give a shit less. Even if I did I’ll be long gone before anything worse happens to this world.

What’s worse is what’s going on in the world with wars and all that shit not fucking electric cars wtf lol

There you go. Having children or not but not caring about the well being of others, especially children, is very self centered, narcissistic and one of the reasons things seem to be pretty screwed up right now.

G35POPPEDMYCHERRY · 03-02-2023, 08:19 AM

you know even after me attacking BGM which is probably deserved. I think he's probably a chill guy. He's doing all this because yall are getting so triggered by it. feeding the troll. hes got plenty of different cars in his stable so clearly he likes both types of car. alas I tip my hat to you BGM, epic level trolling.

Well, I mean you're not wrong.

Caring about people doesn't pay the bills nor make you money.

There's a reason why you have millionaires/billionaires. You start caring about people and their wellbeing, and you're no longer a millionaire/billionaire

This is how the world currently operates, you gotta backstab people to move further up the chain.

The people who has some sense of morals or any care, aren't super rich.

Although most of the stuff I say I mean. Like what I said above about the planet. Like who the fuck cares in 50 years? I’ll be 90. I hope to be dead by then. I couldn’t care less if aliens came and destroyed every human they saw the first 24 hours lmaooooo

Good luck to everyone’s children children lol

And making fun of ev isn’t trolling?

You’re trolling a subject you have NO CONTROL over.

So you’re basically posting in these threads to whine and complain .

That’s amusing lmaooo
