Why build shitty vehicles that don't last and cost to damn much?
@HumanEarth Obviously you have never driven one. lol.
Electric vehicles (EVs) typically last 15 to 20 years, depending on factors like battery maintenance, driving habits, and climate conditions. Most modern EV batteries retain 80-90% of their original capacity after 8-10 years, making them quite durable.

Again shitty vehicles. A good vehicles would last 50 to 80 years

Make them so anyone can rebuild them, make huge aftermarket parts, encourage engine modifications, and more
@HumanEarth Destroying the planet for 80 years. Yea, great forward thinking. How about a car that has zero emissions, no exhaust system at all, no radiator, no transmission, no shifter, no oil, no fluids other than windshield washer. You save a ton of money on maintenance. It also regenerates the battery when you slow down making it a one pedal system. Accelerates instantly from a light or when in traffic going 100 mph. Super fun to drive.
@HumanEarth Why did the electric car feel discriminated against? Because the rules weren't current.

Destroying the planet is just what they are doing with their toxic batteries, rare minerals, the spying, government has control over them by remote control, government, google, and other corporations has access to cameras and microphone.

I prefer vehicles without that. I prefer vehicles without electronics
@HumanEarth Regular cars also have batteries, and Li-Po batteries can be recycled. Spying is an american invention to try to turn people away from China products. Why would China care where you went, and besides, how would China even know who was driving?
Government does not have control over EV cars lol.. pure fantasy.
It is true that Google might listen in if you had your phone on while driving. Turn it off.
Our EV only has a backup camera, so when you buy one, make sure there are no cameras pointing at your face sending the information to China so they can clone you and steal all your money.

Don't carry a cellphone

Our vehicles are all from mid 80s and older. Everyone is rebuildable. So which one is better for the environment. A throwaway or a rebuildable vehicle
@HumanEarth It isn't throwaway, it is recycled. Battery tech is changing fast, soon an EV will go 2000 miles and take 9 minutes to charge. Your old gas cars will become junk, no more parts, no more rebuilding, just rusting slag in the yard.

What about our 1939 ford deluxe or the countless other great old vehicles that are so much stronger, better made, last longer then that electric garbage. That's why they gave up on them in the early 1900s. They were underpowered and couldn't get the job done. Just like today.

Today they always down for repairs, mostly electronic problems. My two kids think you do, well did. Till they got tired of always dumping money on payments and cars not even lasting 5 years for used less then 10 for new. And here we are - the parents still driving the same 1984 Chevy pickup when they were grammar school and we bought it used. Between the two of them they must of had 8 vehicles in 5 years. Because they thought they needed a newer reliable vehicle.

My daughter finely wised up and bought herself a 1986 Ford Bronco. She said she was done with buying vehicles that don't last and done making payments.

I agree
