Where was the fact check for the original post? What was its source? It’s a random meme probably harvested from Facebook or Twitter. So words on a picture and it must be true? No one questioned for a second if it was real.
It's not just batteries that are an issue, a guy that works out at the gymn I do just had to replace the tires on his Tesla at 24,000 miles. When he checked into it that is pretty standard tire life for electric cars. So about twice the tire consumption for these green machines. And the tires cost him almost $400.00 each!
I agree. A feller I grew up with always has to drive a full size truck, he doesn't have a pot to piss in, and I always ask him "...how the hell do you keep gas in it?..it must cost ya 100 bucks every time to fill it?"In 1979 I drove a car that got an honest 43 MPG.
It ran on leaded fuel, no cat, had a carburetor and points.
It got my *** from point A to point B reliably for over 10 years with one engine rebuild.
No one can tell me that with today's technology an internal combustion engine and car can't be made to beat that by 100 percent.
The bigest problem is people want to drive tanks to haul one person around.
Bad drivers all too.
We are dealing with morons on the roadways.

There was a time I cared about gas mileage...and at this point in my life, I simply.ply dont care
I honestly couldn't even tell you an estimate on what each of my vehicles gets in that department
I'm notI thought we were focusing on using less gas for environmental issues.
on the other hand...that is twice the miles i get out of a set of rear tires for the duster

I truly don't know...it was the first GIF that I liked when I Googled "duster burnout"Isn't that a member on here? Car looks like one I have followed in a build, can't remember the member's name.

I bet even the guy shopping for the cheapest 4 cylinder hooptie is looking at the HP specs and influenced by the 0-60 time compared to the other cars in the same class. I know I would be.

Yes, very expensive stuffLike an old timer told me when I was young, just more stuff to break.
Agreed, I have an electrical issue on mypeople these days are too lazy to use a hand crank for windows, too lazy to operate a manual trans, the need a knob to turn to put the car in gear, and a button to push to start the car....I was peeved when they started putting electric switches in trucks for 4X4 I like the big lever coming out of the floor...of course realize I'm old...but the point is, all those gizmos make the car expensive and unserviceable for the average working fella or gal
What was that?
I'm pretty happy with my 35 MPG six speed manual turbo Renegade.
...and it has better power to weight than a 318 duster.
