Hi All, 500 mile range loaded to 80,000 pounds. 30 minutes to recharge to 400 mile range. It may be self driving, too. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1113863_tesla-semi-500-mile-range-lowe...
MY complaint is about government -- far too much, too intense, and utterly ignorant
And constituents who heads are stuck up (clouds)
Electric cars have been MANDATED for California. Ever hear of a mandate -- like the one forbidding the sale or importation of an old fashioned battery charger?
Governor BROWN set a date. Fine. Now they're latching on to halving the time of implementation of 100% electric vehicles
I KNOW The People's Republic, after implementation they are going to TAX the living beejezus out of petroleum cars
Let's see some BETTING ACTION on the above point
California is the hub of "With a quarter-pound joint, there are no problems"
So residents reject creation of ALL NEW FORMS of energy production except solar panels
Windmills kill birds
Dams kill salamanders
Nuclear? Coal? Fuel Oil? Shirley you jest
California government will grow another 25% to "regulate" electric cars
It's about energy WASTE, Global Warming and above all REVENUE
In Yuppie hives, like Sausalito and Silicon Valley they do not want to see above ground distribution lines never mind transmission towers
They don't even want to see them on their way to work or on their way to the mountains to camp and eat synthetic organic dehydrated food
This means the yuppies want the impossible dream and government "will pay for it all"
Not one millisecond has been devoted to figuring out how this titanic new power grid and distribution network can be implemented
Creation of kWh will be magic - like solar panels the province of government
Weight reduction of recreational vehicles means extensive use of carbon graphite, aluminum and even magnesium to offset the weight of a four ton bank of batteries
Motorhomes and trailers in excess of 30' will cease to exist
Want something longer? A bus? It will be liquefied natural gas powered
IF you think $200,000 base price for a 30' RV is expensive, just wait till you see the price of a bus
Then the People's Republic will "Do The Right Thing". Put a four dollar per gallon environmental tax on gasoline. This will force refineries to raise their price
This ALL sounds absolutely ABSURD. Yeah, until you look at what reality is comprised of in Europe. Stick your finger in the side of one of those babies "Ka-Boik Ka-Boik flimsy" garbage made for a long trip in Europe border to border, 290 miles.
It's not the cars I'm worried about it's the government that intends to bloat and essentially end the "hideously irrational" RV lifestyle. Lobby groups like the Sierra Club wield an enormous power in Sacramento. On their way to the Sierras, they sneer and gag as they pass RVs in their BMWs and Mini Coopers.
And the way California goes, so goes the rest of the nation.
This ain't a bit goddamned funny.
