- So the Diesel Brothers are doing something illegal and Elon is not.
Are you insane? - Because Time, you are saying how bad the DB's are for deleting a few diesel trucks but you give your hero Tusk a pass when he pollutes on a level of 100's of times the magnitude of the DB's just with on one flight of his jet.
Hypocrite much? Turtle n Peeps wrote:
So why hijack this thread about diesel tow vehicles deleting emission controls?
You see, I'm not a hypocrite like some on here or like some that proselytize how important electric cars are and then fly around in a jet that uses more fuel in a day then I use in years of driving my RV.
I have no problem with people that own RV's. I have no problem with people that own jets. I have a BIG problem if you're a hypocrite and try to proselytize about how bad I am by driving a 42 mpg fossil fuel car when I should buy one of your electric cars for 100 grand+.
I have a problem when I own a 1,200 sq/ft house and you proselytize how bad I am because I don't have a solar system on it when you own 5 to 10 mansions and your wine cooler cellar uses more juice in one month than I use in a year.
Ya, i have a problem with hypocrisy.
I don't care what you drive or where you live as long as you are no intentionally polluting or helping other pollute like the Diesel Brothers.
Maybe start your own thread on this.- We all need to go back to the CaveMan days where we had a fire going all the time and wildfires were the norm.

You all play the green game and I'll keep putting my used drain oil on the dirt road out front of the farm to keep the dust down...Thank you.
Only do it at night so no one sees me. Snitches are everywhere...
No different than the roads we ALL drive on! Asphalt would NEVER be allowed if it were invented today.Lantley wrote:
How Ironic that RV'ers of all people are complaining about the fuel consumption of others.
There are a lot more efficient environmentally friendly ways to travel than by RV.
It would be very easy to draw a map and showing RV'ers criss crossing the country in 40 diesel pushers and big Diesel pick up trucks wasting lots of fuel.
Would we feel better if Elon traveled commercially in a 747?
How about all the charter flights in full sized planes to the Dominican republic and Mexico to all inclusive resorts. I don't think they are very environmentally friendly. Or do you have to have a Gulf Stream to be a serious violator?
Until we all decide to rides skate boards and carry our camping gear in back packs I don't think people in glass houses should throw stones.

Time why don't you ever criticize Tusk? Here is one day (today) of using his Gulfstream 650 as his private Uber.
Do you know how much a Gulfstream burns in fuel / hour? I do. It's almost 2 TONS of fuel an hour. Yes, I said tons!
On this one 9.5 hour flight he used around 38,000 lbs of fuel! Or rounding about 19 tons of fuel! Tons!
Unlike my truck, his toy jet has no pollution control systems at all. NONE.
I would have to drive my truck for years to burn what this world saver did in one day!
About time the fan boi's start seeing and acknowledging things like this.
Man, it would take me a lot years of driving a deleted truck to put that much NOx and PM into the air. And this is not even considering his rockets.- How Ironic that RV'ers of all people are complaining about the fuel consumption of others.

OK and I believe there are better ways to protest the EPA regulations than starting a business to defeat the OEM emission control systems.
This has nothing to do with SpaceX or Elon Musk. Two wrongs do not make a right. Protest both if you have the drive.

What has Musk contributed to society that the Bros haven't?
Vast increase in knowledge of propulsion systems.more efficient transfer of research and communication satellites
from earth to orbit and back.
, bringing battery technology light years ahead of where we were 20 years ago, providing employment to thousands,putting millions if not billions into our economy.
The bros, not so much 20 or 30 jobs, hundreds of happy man child running around in the desert blowing smoke, grinning and getting DNA samples in their jeans- So buy a Gulfstream already. This thread is NOT ABOUT ELON. Can you post on subject?
