Check another "build it and they will come" pipe dream paid for by higher prices for consumers and taxpayers hoping to undercut big oil kingpins who hope to extend their reign another 100 years or at least until most of the earth's surface is below sea level thanks to global climate change.

Fracking.
ReplyDeleteEV mecca my ass. I had a Prius for a while. Got rid of it because even though I have a lead foot and drove in my usual way (5 to 10 mph over the speed limit), there was no end to aging white male rednecks in big-ass pickup trucks getting on my tail and blasting me with their horns, or passing me and pulling in front of me very closely and aggressively.
ReplyDeleteThis place already is a mecca for fat white trash. That's not compatible with being an electric vehicle mecca.
LOL.....nothing more fun that smashing a Prius with the Monster Bear Truck.......
ReplyDeleteSeeing a hipster's eyes bug out just before impact is a Visa moment.
Then watching the tow truck operators having to clean up the "kale laced shit stains off the street". Priceless.
1038, if this was supposed to be edgy, it failed.
DeleteLike I said, this place already is a mecca for fat white trash. And your average KC hipster can't even afford a Prius.
ReplyDeleteSUVs, Garage Mahals, far flung burbs, accredited schools near McMansions--wouldn't want UAW, builder trades, and soccer Mommies to miss out on the hip and diverse density of downtown.
DeleteToot, Toot....dome the Arrowhead, ALREADY!
Smart GM bought Toyota component manufacturing long ago. The products the big 3 assemble are part Asian under the hood. Argue all you want, the Camry that served my family 13+ years had low maintenance outlays.
ReplyDeleteWe bombed and rebuilt Japan's factories, setting up an electronics powerhouse partner to the West.
True, EV prices are too prohibitive. The big, strong workadays prefer their boats and bikes, and cargo beds.
Gotta have tow capacity too--for the granny stuck in the ditch when her Prius slid on snow pack.
Which electric cars are you speaking of, the ones in 1904 or the ones people are trying to invent today?
