riverc 1,106 Posted May 9 How many of you guys plan on buying one in the next 2-5 years? I don't want one so no plans to buy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,435 Posted May 9 I'm with you..... Don't wont one... I see a big problem over all especially when rescuers have to deal with these type vehicles involed in crashes.... Not. To mention .... What problems already exist ... Finding places to charge them up, here's a tid bit... We all know (most of us) how bad rodents can be damage wise .... What's going to happen when rodents get a taste... After all ... Some people say rodents are drawn to electrical devices i tent to agree... So... That could also be a very big problem... If anything the whack jobs out there screaming global e warming should be the ones forced as test subjects 1st.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ATC4ever 1,014 Posted May 9 We had a $300,000 electric school delivered to try out for a week or so, was only 100 miles away. They had to leave it over night 1/2way here to charge the battery! 😤 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
retro 3,880 Posted May 9 Electric vehicles are for slaves. Free people shun them and educate their brainwashed buyers. Look up the total cost of manufacturing plus cost of ownership. Then look up the mining costs and the impact on the environment per battery, per vehicle. Then look at the limited range and the centralized recharging requirements and excessive costs. It's incredible how many people there are that can not think critically for themselves. Mock them to wake them up. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
56Sierra 1,812 Posted May 9 If they made an electric TRX300FW I might be interested. Electric conversion of RC airplanes works real well. Lighter and easy to start. But I don't fly them non stop for 6 hours either. I don't ever see an electric car in my garage. Just not practical. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishfiles 19,770 Posted August 13 I have a friend who is a traveling tech , he was just telling me a story about Blue Oval ( or maybe it's Blue Opal City ) , it is the town where Ford builds the Lightning trucks , second hand info , he was flashing numbers at me which don't quote me on , but the numbers were 7and 5 , the plant is like 750 acres and one of many buildings is 75 acres under one roof , or maybe it was 7,500 acres with 750 acres under one roof and multiple buildings , they get the steel frames shipping in , then every other part is built there , they stamp the sheetmetal out of aluminum and make the batteries there also ....but one number thing I do remember was the guy he was working around , told him that right now Ford loses about $30K on every Lightning they sell , but they are trying to learn to save cost , I would " Guess " ..................

riverc 1,106 Posted September 11 ^^^^Expensive most people will not be able to afford without taking out a loan for replacement cost. I hear a fender bender is totaled by insurance company so financing a EV would be risky if it gets totaled 3 months after you buy without full replacement coverage. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
