after 70s, 80s, … ev was the best car I’d ever driven. try one for a week. i was more pissed car makers have been repackaging oil-burners since 60s. basically same accessories without a clutch.
The only thing preventing me from getting one is that I don’t want another car payment and my condo doesn’t have electric charging because dumbass boomers here don’t realize EVs are the future. We could easily have a charging station installed and it would increase everyone’s property values. These same boomers vote against electronic door locks because they can’t be arsed with learning even simple technology. Now I have to hide a key outside like 1980s in case I lose my outer door key.

World’s most contemptible belligerent asshole, and also, unintentionally, world’s most effective EV salesman.
Does anyone think… gas prices… are going to meaningfully go … down, in the future?
If so, well I know a guy who can offer you a timeshare on a bridge he sublets from a travelling used car salesman.
… the best bridge.
Need WAY better infrastructure for charging, better batteries, a way to cheaply replace those batteries, a faster way to charge and most important - cooperative prices.
like everything, “better” is relative. if they could simplify them enough not to be distracting during operation, that would be “better” imho. but as we have seen, theyre trying to shove ai into literally everything everywhere and it seldom benefits the user
I think a better way to say it is that change takes time, and large-scale changing of long-established ways takes longer.
EV drivers have realized this over 10 years ago. It’s the ICE and fossil industries that are trying to delay everyone else from realizing the same. They want as much of your money as they can get before you realize EVs are better.
Thats absolutley true, but I live in an apartment complex that wont even fix the elevators, there’s no way in hell I’d ever be able to charge at home and for that reason… I can never have an EV.
Just one of the many ways society will improve as easily programmed boomers fade into history
Top gear surprisingly had good insight here. They compared ice engines to a mechanical watch. Sure it’s beautiful and technically tells the time and you can respect the engineering but with ev it’s more like respecting the construction for why it is rather than the future of transportation
The only problem I’ve had with the EVs we’ve been leasing for 5 years now, is unsolicited criticism from EV haters. They seem to ignore the fact that I’ve been driving various diesel and petrol vehicles for decades. If my own lived experience of EVs was less rewarding than my previous ICE ownership I’d switch back. It’s not like a football team that I’m wedded to. They’re just generally better cars in terms of driving, torque, maintenance, cost to run and basically every metric that matters to me as a driver. Quite why that annoys people who in many cases have never even been behind the wheel of one is beyond me.
Ehh, I feel like a lot of people in here are arguing just for the sake of it, and because the guy who said this is from a car company.
Yes, of course electric cars are better than cars burning fossil fuels. EVs being too expensive, too few buttons and too many touch screens has nothing to do with that. The same goes for the also obvious fact, that we should focus more on public transport because it is much more efficient in moving people around than cars.
Since when did they start calling them ICE cars and not EVs. In America, ICE fucking sucks, but EVs don’t.
Is this a propaganda trick or has it been used abroad a lot?
Make it illegal to include touch screens, tracking, no buttons and no handles. Then I’ll consider getting a loan for one 🤷♂️
Not long time ago the ceos of european companies said that evs are just conceit
