The fake sounds are the gayest thing ever created...... And the thing is ugly AF. I think they will come out with something electric that will blow ppl's minds.....

There are already electric vehicles making 5000 hp and available to buy and shit Rivian says their new truck will have 1025 hp the same as the Plaid so we know the potential for an EV has really no limits once they master the battery thing and that company has very deep pockets. ICE vehicles cant keep up.....

It took ICE vehicles 75+ years to produce a car that makes a 1000 hp for sale as a car to the public. It was the Bugatti in 2006. Tesla did it in with their very FIRST EV! First try.... Imagine in just 10 years how much power EV vehicles will be making.

The Rivian is an incredible vehicle. Has a crazy stiff frame, electro-hydraulic roll control with the front sway bar, very low positioned shocks, crazy front end with double wishbone control arms, air suspension to control ride height, crazy fast dampening. Thing handles almost as good an a modern day sports car does! Then u can take it off road and its even a bigger beast there the thing is freaking awesome!

The new Hyundai Iconiq 5N has the fake sounds to but they dont sound fake but still gay AF. Shit, that thing makes 650 hp and is one the best handling cars u can buy right now either gas or EV its an incredible machine! Has a motor at each wheel makes TQ vectoring possible and it works insanely well. Watch ANY review on that car on the track or spirted road driving and ull see for urself.

I’m not interested in a EV but a friend recently rented a Tesla. He’s a farmer from deep in Kentucky farm country but he is a motor head. Everything he has is a diesel or a big V-8. He loved the Tesla! He’s probably going to end up getting one of those Hummer EV pickups with the front and rear steerable wheels. Just the one weekend with the Tesla and he seemed sold.

You can refer to fake news CNN and i'll refer to Bloombergs report..... Investors that actually know WTF their talking about.. EV sales predicted to 30 million by 2027.

Yea that turning radius is sick! That is one thing I absolutely love about that vehicle I mean it makes shorter turns then most compact cars do its crazy.

Its just so dam wide! I mean it takes up like the whole lane and finding parking is a nitemare. Those sorta things turn me off but its really beautiful but another deal breaker for me was those stupid 1987 Grand National T-Tops smfh. Are they serious with those smh. Ppl want retractable sunroofs not T-tops that rattle and leak over time its just a dumb fuking idea and how do u block out the sun. Dumb.

I gotta unlatch them, get the covers out, place them in the covers then put them back in the frunk its just plain stupid for a 2025 vehicle. Im sure it was much cheaper to design then a retractable sunroof but its a $110k car and u get 1980 parts smfh.

... I think they will come out with something electric that will blow ppl's minds..... There are already electric vehicles making 5000 hp and available to buy ... Rivian says their new truck will have 1025 hp the same as the Plaid ...

World's Fastest Batteries-On-Wheels
Rimac Nevera .............1,914 "hp" ..... $2.4 million US ..... 8.4 sec quarter mile
McMurtry Spéirling ... 1,000 "hp" ..... $1.2 million US ..... 8.4 sec quarter mile

World's Best Battery Flashlight
Maglite ...................... mega lumens .......... $40 .............. 1/4 mile beam distance

All three are about as equally exciting, the flashlight can save your life ...

Yawn ...

In equally tantalizing news ...

It was the future, but things have changed recently.

There is a new Sherrif in town.
People are starting to wake up from “woke”.
The greenest state in the union has undid 50 years of environmental efforts in a single week because of gross mismanagement. If CA never went green, the air in CA and the entire U.S.A. would be better than it is now. AND, we would have saved a few TRILLION$$$.

For the last 25 years or so, the man-made Global Warming religion has dictated the so-called “facts” and dissenters were defunded and cancelled. This may be the beginning of the exposure of the Junk Science and return to SCIENCE. I am by nature not a hope person, but at this time I see more reason for hope than ever before.

Maybe we'll see some high HP V8's in the future, but they won't be anywhere near $60k minus power dollars!

I still think it is the future

The market is moving that way. Just not as fast as Biden and the dems hoped.

 

[Detroitboy]

I dont know why they went to the straight 6 turbo 3.0 motor in my new 25 laramie. I was getting better gas milage with my 2015 Longhorn 5.7. I think the new motor is more powerful, but it certainly is not a gas saver.

 

[RetiredFirefighter]

WTF

Exactly.

The idea of Flashlights-On-Wheels taking over ICE vehicles is DOA.

The world's power structure can't even come close to supporting a significant number of them.

The notion that they can replace ICE is a massive illusion, perpetrated mostly by liars/thieves (i.e., wicked politicians).

You beat me to the punch by 38min. There is no possible way to fuel the "future" of EV's in our lifetime. Ain't gonna' happen. Anyone convinced it is the future, should be buying stock. Nothing stops BS faster than putting $ on the table!

Every moronic politician at every level decided that they could control technology and the future of the world through legislation. Pass a bill, and it will happen! Which of course has lead to many problems, including LA burning down... I expect the next administration to be more realistic.
