Please, many here have multiple vehicles. There are some really wealthy members here.
That is lame! I have a truck, full time use capability. My wife's car is also full time use capability. We go as needed or when we feel like it, electric cars, not-so-much...

This thread is a riot! I can't believe how much time Coal has on his hands to write all this. He apparently has nothing better to do than to attempt to re-educate us.
He does have plenty of time while his EV charges.

LOL that they put a tarp over the car like it's a dead body.
Did you see where they buried it to smother the fire?

Hmmm, you are saying the batteries are made in China? Volkswagon ID.4 batteries are manufactured here, hyundia batteries are made in South Korea and they are building a battery plant here. The Tesla (North American) are manufactured here.

Maybe the components are from China, there are only a few EV's that qualify for the $ 7,500 tax credit due to the following requirements;

The vehicles must be manufactured in North America and have an MSRP below $80,000 for an SUV and $55,000 for a sedan, wagon, or hatchback. To qualify for the first $3,750, a portion of a vehicle’s battery components must be produced or assembled in North America. To get the second $3,750, a portion of the critical minerals used in the battery must be extracted or processed in the U.S. or in a country that is a U.S. free-trade agreement partner, or they must have been made from materials recycled in North America1

The above may not be 100% accurate because it is from Chat.

You are correct, the components are from China. There was a documentary about how China controls most of the precious metals in electric car batteries and many other components related to the operation of electric cars. China has control of most the batteries in electric cars. Don't that give you a warm fuzzy feeling...

Lame or not, it is the truth, go to a Modern Street Hemi Shootout if you want to see some wealth. Trucks and trailers worth over 250K, cars built and tuned by race shops. Big dollar race cars that is the scene since at least 2015

Now ask me how I know.

A enormous lithium deposit was discovered in North America, the 3rd largest known, as I recall. Things are changing at a rapid pace

The green crazies deny most of the mines/drilling permits in our country, bad for the environment.

What does MSHS have to do with an EV?

Normally I would agree, but, I could see this administration using an executive order (probably executive order # 950) to declare lithium critical to national defense.

It is an example of the wealth in the hellcat community (and here).

It's fun. Not as competitive as other series.

I agree, I won the hellcat shootout at Maple Grove. The wealth is on display at the event.

Are you kidding? It is very competitive at least in the classes I compete in. The point is you get to see the wealth some have at the track.

Yes, Hellcat had there own class up until 2019 as I recall. I had the A8 hellcat world record for a number of years at 8.79 @ 156. That was in the late 2017, ancient history now the A8 world record is 7.7 or so.

It just hit me, this is liberal projection. He is assuming everyone is as wealthy and care free as he and he is therefore entitled to dictate his views on the masses. He owns 2 EV’s and considering buying a third, plus owns multiple ICE vehicles!?!?!? WTF!

We are dirt, we just need to do as Coal says because he knows what is best for US! Thank you for trying to save us poor ignorant bastards! God love you Coal!
