Cpvr Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I’ve never driven an electric car before. I’ve always been a fan of gas cars, but one of my sisters owns a telsa. It drives pretty good. I’ve rode in it before. What do you ya’ll like though? Are you a fan of electric cars or gas cars? Do you ever see yourself buying an electric car one day?

Soulwatcher Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I am still a fan of gas cars because if your battery dies you have to get it towed. And if you have a gas car, you can have someone bring you some gas in a gas can. And one day we're all going to be forced to have an electric car.

Demon_skeith Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Never driven one, hope to never do. I'll stick with gas cars since they are reliable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gas cars are also a lot cheaper than electric cars. I don’t see electric cars outlasting gas cars. On 3/28/2024 at 12:54 AM, Demon_skeith said: Never driven one, hope to never do.

Demon_skeith Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 If they ever hope for me to drive one, they need to make cars be able to drive in sub-zero temperature. Not sure if that can happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure that a Tesla battery is $20k for a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortie Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I wouldn't say I am not a fan of electric cars as I do believe they are better for the environment but I feel at the moment, the power grid is not coping with the demand from the charging of electric cars. I would consider an electric car in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually they aren't better for the environment if you consider they need more tires often and no best practice for recycling the battery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has to be the biggest problem with electric cars, what to do with all the chemicals and battery waste after the battery is no good anymore.

And we already have car models that no longer get parts, so the whole thing is trash. We're jumping too fast into electric. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 100% agree, how many people that buy a used Electric car are going to be able to whip out another $20k for a battery? Tesla has financing for a new battery, how crazy is that?

People have already bought first generation models that are paper weights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is really sad considering how much they cost new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This I never thought of but you are very right. I guess because it is pushed at us so much that using electric is better, you forget about everything else that will cause issues for the environment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm right because it was a story going around last year, glad I wasn't the person stuck with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
