Lol itā€™s all good I still have plenty of Ice around me and always will. Itā€™s always about the adventure for me in life. Life becomes to mundane as you progress and we get stuck in our ways. I love challenges and I never give up thatā€™s why I am who I am. if I ever listened to others opinions Iā€™d never be who I am. I have always prevailed in life when the odds were against me. And my saying in life is I dont give two shits what others say unless there paying my way. But the last time that happened was when my Daddy raised me and said good luck son 40 plus years ago. No college handout either just a High School kid.

I'm quite surprised that Stellantis (indirectly, but still) haven't sent me to the grave yet.

But that has more to do with how I drive when having over 700 hp on tap than anything else.
Of course, I'd be even more likely to die in an EV. From boredom.

If you're old enough to remember the exploding Ford Pinto gas tank lawsuit. Ford just upped the game installing a Thermoplastic bomb disguised as a battery pack in their new electric vehicle, only this time dead men tell no tales.

We can only hope Stellantis shows us the next Hellcat generation being a Hybrid set up all wheel drive vehicle. Otherwise total spit in our face IMO change of direction. After owning just for a few days the Mach-E GT I can honesty say it would be a huge failure to the Mopar Community for an all Electric replacement. Interesting times upon us for sure and even though those here think I have turned into a GREENIE guy uhm yeh not so much. An adventurer guy yes for sure and if you watch my videos I go into depth on what is talked about being the reality to the Electric Vehicle movement as well.

Forced, coerced innovation rubs me the wrong way to no end. I know the time will come when I have no choice and that will be the time I purchase one.

The only way I see it to be forced into the unlikely situation, there's no way. Is to be tax to death at purchase and or at the pump. This would produce gas engines to be worth $$$. Biden has already started at the pump. He did that exactly a year ago Memorial Day Weekend. Wemt up and never came down. Now he has some one to blame and has jumped all over this situation. But not opening up domestic supplies is going to bite his ass. Still emporting from Mexico is wide open.

Gas Prices will not sustain being just too many variables and too many cut throat suppliers to give the oil away in the long run. Its as usual the GREED on the Stock Market manipulating the markets to advance their wealth. I worked in the Oil industry and I have seen this exact same scenario play out numerous times. And to only eventually totally reverse itself and the markets crash on Oil Futures. The Truths shall Prevail and always do in time which usually fixes things in the end.

Oh, it will sustain it self due to mid terms are coming. The cut throats are already there. They are in DC. Even Ma Nancy is jumping on the high gas priced band of thieves band wagon. There are a lot of young talented minds running for office. The head idiot has already spoken concerning gouging at the pumps. So, Mr Prez, start by retracting the federal gas tax. I hate to say, but I would rather have Obama back in office if we don't have a choice of a Democract prez. He is smart and was not afraid to actually DO something. Trump is coming out.

I can't help but wonder what the guys that were waiting for their Bugattis to come ashore think about EVs. VW ones in particular.
That one sure didn't do much to help save the planet. Not that any of them do.

It creates a huge land field of dead batteries. The Tesla purchasers are getting hit hard with the nickel increase this week. The batteries are going sky high. The by products that come off of the batteries after the recycle, separation of lead and nickel and plastics, is just as bad. If not worse than fossil fuel emissions. Just where do these batteries come from and their concerns for the environment?? China- India.

My point is that they are slowly pushing me out. I am agreeing. Donā€™t group everyone. We all just donā€™t think much of EVā€™s yet. We appreciate you leading and showing us some real info. This Direct Connection failure is extremely disappointing. I donā€™t like the new owner, nothing good has happened since they bought Dodge. I really do not like what they have done with the Jailbreak model, its apparent limits on allocations, and the discrete method of shutting down options on Widebody Redeyes. Plus, others have exciting alternatives. If money is tight, and recent events and inflation continue, I might just off the SOB. I am going to add some expensive fuel to make it believe itsā€™ food is choice. If this thing wants to buck, fart, and hiccup, I could get real tired of its shit long before I die.
