We had a semi across the road getting work done on it Wednesday, so he unloaded his trailer. He was hauling a bunch of Lucid Motors cars. No I’d never heard of them, I could have sworn they were rebadged Kia Stingers……anyways I proceeded to fire up the Google machine, not the most favorable reviews, and the price hikes for the trim levels, HOLY GUACAMOLE Batman……I did feel better knowing that the upper models that have leather, have ethically sourced Napa leather. I was worried.

Scared of the future? You're the only person that bought an EV and DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT! That only makes you trendy and a Kardashian!

You constantly forget the factual and empirical proof that the EV isn't viable. Strip the rebates and government backed incentives like the Chinese do the Earth to get the minerals necessary for your fart car and it's a terrible option. I'm not even talking about the recyclable catastrophe the batteries are going to create but gloss them all away with the notion that "future" is here. Then again, you were the one crying about the lockdowns, masking up, destroying worldwide economies, vaccination papers and killing grandma over Covid so don't you dare lecture anyone about being scared of the "future"! Ignore the facts and tool around making fart noises. Its a "Look at me" vanity product that sensible people laugh at.


How's that power grid now?

PSST...they use copper in them.

I would point out, my Luddite friend, that I am impressed by your strong believes against something you admittedly know almost nothing about.

The number 1 selling car in the world is a full electric EV; the Model Y.
More proof of non viability?
The stock company that makes them has risen for $10 to $250 a share.
Oh, EV's will never catch on....

But we both know that this is about your unfortunate case of Madagascar syndrome. And apparent copper fetish.

Maybe if you started off small, like an electric toothbrush, you could ease your way into this whole twenty first century thing.

Hardly Kim.

Once again you try to make claims that are absurd from the beginning.

You're here defending your pious belief that you can see how beautiful the emperor's new clothes are. Standing in judgment of the sullied due to their lack of sight of what you claim to see. Just like Covid, you were the rabid dog at the gate doing anything for your master...now because they say jump...you're saying how high you can. WTG Kimmy.

No copper fetish...thats a stupid claim to ever try to make. It's called common sense. The guy you voted for that shut off the pipelines and closed down the mines...is in bed with the CCP! I'm merely pointing out that you can't get mining to any profitable level with the administration you put into power. I'm so happy you're doing your part in trying to create brownouts if not a complete power down with your fart car.

Great. Now DMV will cut and paste a diatribe about how we are running out of Napa Leather.....


Lucid offers one of those with a 516 mile range. Just to prove that EV's are "not viable".

The claims are easy to verify, by the news and stock market- granted that might make them “absurd” to you.
However:



DMV, on this 4th of July holiday I would like to thank you for all the long grins and honest entertainment you have given here. While I smile at your ongoing conspiracy theories and assertions that opinions equal facts, I know that you truly believe them. Good for you. Keep those flags flying.

You are our social justice worrier, forever vigilant against the evil cabals that would have us put on a solar roof, drive EV’s, get inoculated, or (god help us) think that science has merit.

Thanks again, and happy 4th Doctor MaddVibe.

Absurd? Worrying? Naw. Just able to apply critical thinking skills with the ability to think ahead. Moves ahead. I liken it to a survival skill that I learned while playing chess in elementary school, but some are never able to use these skills and apply them in Life. They would rather be told what to think, do and purchase. Oh well.

So, now that we're all bought in with Pedo Joe's Green New Deal and there won't be any ICE's on the road in 2030...he's put into place a huge backstop that government will have to fill. Have no fear, taxpayers will be paying that! It started with incentivizing purchases that weak minded claim as tax write-offs. Never thinking much further than they can piss now the Department of Defense has gone into "worry mode". Like some "Dr. Strangelove" plotline to usher in a new war, would you believe they don't have the minerals and metals locked down that are necessary for their "toys"? No? Think it's just me on some "conspiracy" bender? Nope. So, remember you heard it from me 1st when you want to claim something that you can't fathom. I'm still scratching my head as to why we had to bailout the auto manufacturers in the 1st place. Now as they lose billions of dollars and 10's of thousands of jobs they'll be pining for a Bailout 2.0.

Every time you claim a conspiracy, I get proved right yet again. You need to try harder. Might want to lay off the boosters. They don't do anything but harm you.

I'll have to think on that for a bit.

Yeah... a Tesla beats an M3 and then you wake up and have pop tarts. What a fktard.

That was a Model 3 Performance (one of three versions sold “off the lot”). Because Tesla production is now in full swing, that car now retails for $53,240 and is eligible for a $7,500 government subsidy at taxpayer's expense. Factor in gas, maintenance and BMW “reliability” (😂) and it stomps a mud hole in the M3.

But ymmv…
