Ya any gas f150 can pull a million pounds easy.
we have a Ford assembly plant literally two kilometers away from here and a lot of the line worker buy Fords because they get good deals on them. We see and hear supercharged F150s blasting up the plant entrance road.

Motor heads.

Holy crap.

They sound like those old radial engines in big Yankee WWII fighter aircraft.

Electric is not all it's cracked to be.




Oh that DEPENDS on your point of view!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


If you re an ordinary tax payer and regular commuter.............................................


then LIE-beral electric TOYS are a costly DISASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


But if you are a LIE-beral.................................


then the electric TOYS ARE WONDERFUL THINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Just THINK of all the BENEFITS TO LIE-berals that such TOYS can PROVIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


First the age of the average gas powered car on our roads is over 11YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


But by the TEN YEAR MARK an electric TOY car battery has LOST AT LEAST FIFTY PERCENT .............................


of its charge holding capacity and range........................................


meaning the ten year old TOY IS NOW VIRTUALLY USELESS...........................................


its SHORT RANGE that is INADEQUATE RIGHT OUT OF THE FACTORY...............................


will be FURTHER REDUCED...................................


BY RAPIDLY CRIPPLING AGE AND CDN COLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



UNLESS YOU PAY huge money for ANOTHER COSTLY BATTERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And that assumes that "PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE" is not blocking you..........................................



meaning WILL YOUR BATTERY still be IN STOCK in ten years??????????????????????


One has only to look at the number of computerized electronic sensors that are NO LONGER AVAILABLE..............................


for gas powered cars to..............................................



recognize car companies LOVE planned obsolescence.........................................


because it FORCES OLDER VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


LIE-berals ARE DESPERATE FOR MORE GRAVY.........................................


and the chance to COMPEL YOU to replace your car way more frequently than you want to..........................


will pay MULTIPLE DIVIDENDS TO LIE-berals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


There would be SALES TAX if you bought a new battery for your toy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Abd he cost of the battery IS MORE than the money spent on maintenance for a gas car in ten years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Or there would be SALES TAX if you gave in and bought a new TOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And you would NOT have needed to replace your ten year old gas car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



There will be INCOME TAX from all the electricians installing the chargers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And there will be all sorts of sales tax on the charger parts and sales!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And MORE TAXES on the CONSTANT REPAIR of the SHODDY chargers LIE-berals have bought......................................


and are roughly installing AT TAX PAYER EXPENSE...........................................


for the dubious benefit of a PRIVILEGED FEW TOY owning LIE-beral PALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



BEST OF ALL..................................


from the LIE-beral point of view...................................


forcing us ALL to drive electric TOY vehicles........................................


means that LIE-berals would be LEGALLY ABLE to snatch away ALL THE REVENUE.................................


that currently flows to oil companies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And LIE-berals would be able to KEEP THAT REVENUE FOR THEMSELVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


If LIE-berals can force us to buy electric TOYS............................................


just think of all the COSTLY electricity that they can sell to TOY OWNERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And JUST THINK of all the PRICE GOUGING that HYDRO HOGS can indulge in...................................


robbing their CAPTIVE AUDIENCE of TOY owners BLIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


As it stands now.......................................


the price of oil DOES FLUCTUATE A LITTLE as various pressures affect the markets...................................


but the price of electricity NEVER FLUCTUATES.....................................


UNLESS LIE-berals are SCREWING WITH IT FOR THEIR PROFIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The LIE-beral promotion of electric TOY cars.................................................


is THE WORST AND MOST DECEITFUL of ALL disgraced LIE-beral policies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the 150 ev is faster than any of those dinocars
What can a Ford pull? With those ancient gassers and diesels?



Here's a GM chart.

The ev just pulled a million pounds with a pickup truck wheelbase.

25,000 vs 1,000,000

That is the sort of technological advance we are talking about.

Maybe we should start with the electric chair and reserve it for Politicians that commit treason and Bankers who are loyal to the banks and not the country they are in.

Porsche Says the Electric Taycan Will Outsell the 911

Porsche has already taken about 30,000 pre-orders for its all-electric sports sedan. The car has not yet been seen in final production specification, but simply the idea of an electric Porsche has people all over the world champing at the bit to get in line for one. The car won’t even be shown until September’s Frankfurt show, but Porsche has already increased scheduled production output for the sedan to 40,000 units annually in preparation for the surge.

Porsche set an initial target of 20,000 units, bumped that to 30,000 a few months ago, and has now further increased the number due to demand for the car. Porsche currently sells about 35,000 911s per year.

I doubt if electric vehicles should be a serious consideration for the next 10 years...………………...if then. My philosophy is if something works leave well enough alone. IF after 10 or 15 years there is an indication they are an improvement...………..go for it. Let the dummies wade in until the wrinkles are ironed out.

So, no sale to you.

Do you reckon that others should be actively discouraged from buying "electric"? ... or is it up to individual consumers how they spend their money?
