A lot of opinion stated as fact, out-and-out lies stated as fact and a complete disregard for what's really happening. I actually didn't know Motor Trend was still around. Now I know but I don't care.

As soon as they said the manufacturing of EVs is better for the environment than ICE manufacturing I knew the writer was just completely FULL OF SHIT!!

 

[DGatzby]

This is NOT true: “They're quantifiably better for the environment…”

I stopped reading basically after that bullshit. Because they expose their pure lack of facts and that the article is opinion (fake news) at that point.

I'm with you guys 100%!

What kind of bullcr@p are they trying to sell, and why?

Incidentally, my toilet paper was personally insulted when I compared them to this trash.

[BULL]

The bullshit about battery range being a safety blanket was particularly annoying.

When I'm towing in my truck, my range is ~300 miles, certainly dependant on conditions and load, and when I fill up, I can do that in ~5min, and I can fill to 100% capacity, AND I can do it without compromising the life of my engine (unlike what happens to a battery that is charged to 100%, especially "quickly").

I would NEVER chance a 300+ mile trip (that included towing)..with ANY EV vehicle...talk about rollin the dice

Clearly they've gone full woke. Never cared much for their rag anyway, was more of a Car & Driver guy.

I think they’re happy their name will finally be right and they’ll be able to stop dealing with online comments once the EV motors take over. Maybe they’ll split and we’ll get Engine Trend for ice

Man, glad you didn’t get hit. My head is always in swivel for other drivers in front behind next to me. I’ll blare the horn if they aren’t slowing down or veering into my lane. Glad you and the cars are alright
