I'll bet that's a gem.
Also, look how densely populated and focused Chinas communities are by and large. Most commuted by bicycle because they live close to where they work. As they started earning more, they bought cars. EVs slot in beautifully to how they have structured their society.
In the US, we built the suburbs, and spread out from each other (families and work). This was freedom for us, but it actually makes a lot of things more challenging. Most people have a decent commute to work, especially in CA where lower wage workers have to live further from where they work to afford it. EVs don't slot in to how we've structured our society here very well.
I think we need to spend a bit more time at the drawing board before mandating shit.
Look at NYC subway, it is ancient, but still does an incredible job moving massive amounts of people around. I commuted on it for two years when I worked at MakerBot in Brooklyn.
Look at LA, it is a newer city with a terrible public transportation system. And CA is obsessed with building a shiny new bullet train. For what? For who? It doesn't address the root cause issues in the slightest. But CA loves innovating, which is great, let's make sure it makes some fucking sense though...
CA tries to be a leader, and these are the examples. Force EVs down peoples throats where it doesn't make sense, nor does a damn bullet train.
Ford Maverick is a good example of US company making sensible progress. Affordable, small, good on gas, etc.
And safe, too! 🤣
Not sure about that particular new model, but most accounts are that BYD makes a fantastic car even without taking the low price into consideration. It sounds like they are basically jumping to the Genesis stage of production without spending too much time in the early Hyundai stage.

The person who needs help is the cult member who has defended, and will continue to defend, a sexual predator till his dying breath. You’re too far gone to save. Maybe it’ll take something personal. If your daughter or sister brings home a man exactly like your cult leader to meet the family. Maybe then you’ll realize how deep in the cult you are.
The Ford Maverick is great. I've had mine for over 3 years and it's surprisingly capable if you need to move furniture or other modest tasks, and it's great on fuel.
Having a centralized government mandate things for a large, diverse country doesn't tend to yield sensible results. We feel that pain in Western Canada frequently, dealing with a Liberal federal government that seems to forget that Canada extends beyond Ontario and Quebec (though they remember us when they want our oil revenues to redistribute in equalization payments).
The CEO of a large American manufacturer drives one soo…
By many accounts the BYD are better than any electric vehicle we have in the states currently.
I'm not a big fan of the EV mandate, either. But I'm not sure it's a big deal. EVs are popular, and look to be the vehicle of the future (technically it's a requirement for zero-emission vehicles, so there may eventually be non-electric possibilities?). The full mandate doesn't take effect until 2035. By then, I would expect the vast majority of new car purchases are going to be EV anyway. And your concern about EVs being too expensive for some people is valid, but by 2035 there will be plenty of used EVs available. And only NEW gas vehicles would be banned. So lower budget people will still have the option of gas vehicles.
Yes. States can have laws that are more stringent than federal laws. This is how Texas is able to ban abortions, and nearly ban online porn.
Just dont get in any accidents in one.
If somebody had an $8k budget for a car, and their options were that electric vehicle and a 2010 Toyota Camry with 175,000 miles on it, the budget EV is probably a nicer option.
In all fairness, can you get a Camry with only 175K that cheap?!?!?!?!
So to recap, your whole disagreement was that I used the word "all"?
So before I start, I haven't posted in quite a while, I don't recall any interaction with you in the past.
I really don't care that we disagree on "ideas", I think it makes for healthy discussion. I don't consider myself the smartest person in the room. I like to discuss ideas and debate content of posts, not the quality of the poster. In this particular case I'll tell you where I'm coming from. I thought it was a very petty thing of you to want to debate. Why? You want to dismantle my statement for using the word "all" as an absolute term while you use the term "perfect" (to be fair you actually used "perfectly well". Mind you, without the qualifier of "some basic news". Perfect is just as absolute as all. So you want to hold me to a standard that you don't practice yourself. Then you make the point about being "pedantic". Again, I gave you a quote and your response was "I don't actually see what you're referring to. " If you were truly "pedantic" you would have written "I didn't see..." which is entirely different than having a closed mind to not acknowledge the quote. Yes words have meaning, and using the right word changes the meaning. Having said all that, my grammar is shit, Falcon can back me up on that one. Of course CNN puts out a nugget of truth here and there, but, by and large they have gone from a "news" reporting outlet to a public influencing outlet driven by leftist ideology which is typically at odds with reality. And you helped make my point with your example, thank you.
Pretty sure we could have reasonable discussion. We all good?
TM
All fair points. There was a lot of unnecessary confusion about that CNN quote - I used present tense because I was reading the piece and looking for the quote as I was writing. I should have made it clear that I wasn't disputing that they'd said it.
"Pretty well" would have been better than "perfectly well"
Yes, I do get hung up on words like "all", and it was petty of me to make so much of it. I try not to be a dick but don't always succeed. A more charitable reading would have been to interpret you as saying something along the lines of CNN having a flawed set of assumptions that inevitably tend to steer their narratives in the wrong direction. Would that be a fair reading of your post?
Your grammar isn't shit. I don't see anything wrong with it.
All good.
From the Talking Heads...and put here with love and respect and an expectation for Canadians to get shit done and straighten Ottawa out, EH!!!

I have faith in Canucks like you...even if you do still have those royal fucks on your damn money! 🤣
Only the 20 and 1000 have Elizabeth II. The rest have former Prime Ministers. So we're slowly crawling out from under that tyranny! 🤣
Liberals trying to claim Trump has cognitive issues while they kept saying Biden was fit for office has to be the dumbest thing they've said yet. Fkn stop! Trump is very aware and very sharp. You guys need to start watching his candid clips where he's quicker than most people on his comebacks and responses. Just go watch the clip from him reacting to Kamala's speech. He was on point, never hesitating.
Pit Row
Could you list 10 of those lies you speak of ? I’d like to see them.
We're all good. A charitable reading would be TM thinks CNN is not trust worthy but they need to throw out a bone here and there to keep their "freedom of the press" privilege. I do quite enjoy watching a clip here and there of Scott Jennings pointing out their "inconsistencies" I use that term loosely LOL

Ideal city car, where you are stuck in traffic jams and don't get over 30mph.
BYD does make ICE vehicles, even a pickup...
These are growing in popularity in Australia, build quality and price are better than Ford.
Remember when people said Trumps declining, and the best excuse was, he’s better than dementia Joe. Pretty sweet that we’re happy that the president is better than a brain dead former president.
I failed my math test, but my friend failed it worse than me, I should be rewarded!
BwaaaaaaaHaaaaaaaaHaaaaaaaaa
Bring that POS to Baja all loaded up and chasing us down the peninsula. Be sure to bring those awesome scooters in that ChiCom ad, too.
BwaaaaaaaHaaaaaaaHaaaaaaaa
Go Team China
Dude, you’re priceless.
Go drive a Ranger Raptor…even the diesel with the mis-located steering wheel that you guys get…and then drive that ChiCom Piece of Shit and get back to us.
BwaaaaaaHaaaaaaaaHaaaaaaaaHaaaaaaaaaa
Damn. You’re too fucking funny.
I know for me, when Biden announced he and Harris were taking another run at the presidency, I was like, really, seriously? Y'all think that's a good idea? LOL I'm sure I wasn't the only one. Then after the disaster debate with trump they pulled out the Harris/Walz ticket and I was like oh great, it's McCain/Palin 2.0. The DNC is a joke.
But…I can see Russia from my front porch!
My neighbor's a builder, he had a Raptor, replaced it with the BYD, he's impressed, I'll take his word over yours since you haven't driven both.
BwaaaaaaaHaaaaaaaaaaHaaaaaaaaaa
WTF is that, a poofta mobile? LMAO😂😂😂
I can see why you like it, LastButtStroke, a man’s vehicle is a reflection of his personality! 🤣🤣
What a POS🤮😂
Let’s review indeed.
They’re sure trying REALLY hard over there in Democratville to avoid what’s going on within their own shit show party…maybe they missed yesterday’s episode of Spartacus Fails…?
