I've yet to smell a diesel that doesn't smell like a diesel.

My '97 F350 psd smelled like propane for a long time - probably because of the catalytic converter.

It's got a fuel leak right now though so it really stinks....

Solution pretty simple, STOP sniffing exhaust pipes.

I'll let you in on an apparent secret, the exhaust pipes, exhaust into the air.

Then you have not been paying attention. Examples are plentiful in suburbia. Any unmodified 2007+ diesel pickup truck exhaust will smell like a large propane heater.

You do not notice because they do not smell like a diesel.

Good point, that could be exactly why i don't notice those. I have notice some vehicle smelling exactly like that, it reminded me of a propane work truck i drove many years ago.

Tesla And Toyota May Be Working On Potential Future Partnership

Reports started trending on social media late last night stating that Tesla and Toyota have been in talks about a potential partnership for some time.

I don't see Toyota and Tesla doing another EV partnership but is a rumor it seems.

Son-in-law reported tonight that his drive to work in his Tesla cost him around $0.30 to $0.40 daily. His 2007 Dodge pickup burned three+ gallons on the same trip. Hmmmm, electric looking better for the daily commute. He also has a KY license plate ordered with a picture of a coal mine and "Friends of Coal" across the bottom. That is an official KY state license plate.

Daughter has a Four Runner for gas powered trips.

I'm curious about the math; this implies that on his drive, which sounds like about 36-45 miles (assuming that pickup got 10-15mpg), the Tesla is using about 4kWh.

The Teslas get about 30kWh/100mi according to the epa (+/- depending on the model); at that rate, 4kWh would get you about 13 miles.

So, I'm missing a factor of 3 somewhere.

I don't have a clue. He was looking at an app on his phone which shows his energy usage.

Nothing wrong with coal. In USA coal-fired electricity fuelling a power hungry Tesla Model S has similar emission as a gasoline automobile at 30 MPG. A Tesla Model 3 would be similar to 50 MPG.

My Tesla license plate states, “SILENT”.
