Fingers crossed, I have 14,550 shares of fisker.

I'm aware of that. But 99% of these vehciles, especially performance and high power ones, do not have lifepo4 batteries. These are lifepo4.

Alright, I'm sold. The ocean I ordered is going to soon have a retrofit available called the Force-E, which will raise hte suspension, chunky tires, wider stance, fender flares, and skid plates.

I am genuinely concerned about pickup's and off road vehicles that have battery cells on the bottom, when a puncture could be thermal run-away and a fiery death for the vehicle. Not even a puncture, but a dent or bend.

Most every ev person I talk to thinks that everything should be ev. Yes, the infrastructure is at MY house. The problem is most people are poor and do not have houses. Apartments and condo's and high rises. Do we just tell those people sorry, you are to poor to drive?

The problem is, the ev people think ev's can replace every vehicle on the road, and that just isn't practical with current technologies. And may points that out. I dont' think most people are opposed to ev's in general, just ev's at their current technology and infrastructure level.

Audi has a diesel that will do 1000 miles on one tank, and takes 3 minutes to refuel.

Here we go, james may chimes in.

Got the fence up, posts, gate built. I've had chicken cleanout composting for 3 years now, 3 yards, so I think I'm going to spread it around, then make another pass at tilling. I have to say my harbor freight post hole digger sat for 3 years since I last used it, and it fired up on the 3rd...

Longevity of battery packs with current technology will never not be a concern. From anyone that's seen my projects, I run machines from the 1950's through the 1970's. Maybe in the future they'll figure out a compact and easy replacement battery for the battery machines they built today. But as...

They can't be real time, joints are already cut when the pour pix were yesterday, and the concrete is dry. I kept my concrete wet for a week during cure. Still, looking forward to seeing more pictures.

I have a reservation for a cybertruck. I'm pretty far down the list, but after seeing these early releases, the build quality is pretty poor. Sure they have the software pretty well figured out, but the hardware quality control is not great.

I'm not saying everyone should do this, that would leave less for me. But if the past 3 years have taught me anything, it's that there are troubled times ahead. And I'd like to not get caught with my pants down.

I have solar panels that will charge it up. I have a lot of real estate that I'm working on filling with dirt cheap panels off marketplace.

What happens if that delivery truck were to stop coming?
