Never made lot sense to me either.... of course you do know that OnStar only works over Verizon cell service.. Customer here locked his car keys and had to have it towed 60+ miles to get in OnStar service range...
At my age I will never own a electric vehicle.
Same as this. Goods and materials in America are delivered by trucks and van. We use cars for personal/personnel conveyance.
Hate to spoil your fun, but that vehicle is stuck in mud. Has nothing to do with gasoline
Hate to spoil your fun but I think the point he was making was sometimes and in some instances old technology is better suited than new technology. A horse is much better than a car or truck for traveling on a muddy dirt road. I can remember in my youth people using a team or horses to pull a horse pulled heavily loaded wagon out of the mud.Hate to spoil your fun, but that vehicle is stuck in mud.

Nice try though…
Doh! Ya got me there!Hate to spoil your fun, but that vehicle is stuck in mud. Has nothing to do with gasoline

Battery cars aren’t new technology, it’s actually older than gasoline powered vehicle technology . I’m sure there’s an old photo of horses pulling an early electric battery carriage/car out of the mud too.Hate to spoil your fun but I think the point he was making was sometimes and in some instances old technology is better suited than new technology.

And yes the horse could have carried gasoline to the vehicle as well as extract it from the mud.
The automobile and truck have evolved over the years. Four wheel drive with differential lock will allow cars and truck of today to go about anywhere the horse can.
Who knows what the future automotive industry hold for us? Toyota says they are bringing a 800 mile battery for vehicles on line in the near future and are spending over 6 billion dollars to construct a manufacturing facility in Randolph County NC. Will vehicles with a 800 mile per charge get us out of our internal combustion driven vehicles?
Our forefather embraced technology that would improve their lives and life styles. It seems the people of today prefer to go the opposite direction and resist new technology and say why change something if it was good enough for my grandparent it is good enough for me.
I do not. I live in a cold climate out in the country. EV’s would be a step backwards for meDoh! Ya got me there!
Car gets stuck. Some people look at it and say "My horse never got stuck like that".
Transition to new technology always has some resistance.
Do you own an EV?
so any opinion you have on EV's is based on conjecture, speculation, and 2nd hand news.
See if I got this straight.
I’ve seen that argument thrown around here by you and another lately to attempt to diminish the opinion of non-owners. Me personally, I know more about electric systems, motors, electronics, and vehicle systems in general, than most average EV owners , so I guess I’m kinda qualified to have an opinion.
The “logic “ is: you’re not qualified to form an opinion on battery cars until you buy one.
Like I said I buy a car for long term (decades)Yes.. you’re discouraged from having an opinion, till after you’ve spent your money
Again, you don't own an EV so your opinions about the pro's and con's of owning and operating EV's are pretty much worthless.
You can form an opinion on anything. Just that forming an opinion without personal experience won't be taken serious by me.The “logic “ is: you’re not qualified to form an opinion on battery cars until you buy one.
Reminds me of the not to distance past famous political stunt : “We need to pass this bill, to find out what’s in it”
