The HARD TRUTH about EVs

[Weather Man]

If any OEM had done this they would have been fined out the ass and early.

Here’s what we know: 10 years ago, Elon Musk directed his team to rig his vehicles’ dashboard readouts with “rosy” range projection. Why? “Elon wanted to show good range numbers when fully charged…When you buy a car off the lot seeing 350-mile, 400-mile range, it makes you feel good.”

The V8 is still dead though, sad. Im curious how the turbo6 is gonna do, performance and reliability wise.

Dead for dodge in ‘24. My guess if they find out what makes them money in ‘25 they will continue to make V8s. Which will make every retard that fell for “last call” by dodge lose tens of thousands of dollars. Suckers I guess.

Not so great.

That’s what she said.

Hate to say a turbo 6 in a car like that may as well just be an EV.

It's just not right

Saw a headline that Ford postponed a $12bill EV investment as well. Love that they are all saying "postponed" when we all know that really means they cancelled the program.

And this is with infinite subsidy of both production and consumption. It is impressive the degree to which consumers have rejected EVs.

In economics there is a concept known as "price elasticity." Essentially it is the math behind the increase in demand exhibited by a decrease in price. EVs appear to have no price elasticity. The price could be lowered to 0 and there would be no response in demand. I have never seen anything like it.

It will be fun to go back and look at what a **** up this will have been.

LOTS of articles out there that nearly all manufacturers are starting to say EV's are not selling.

Such great news.

I always go to this thought experiment: Would you still want an ev vehicle if there was no more free charging at the places you visited??? Would you want an ICE if there was free gas at the places you visited???

The pushrod equipped, port injected Hemi V8 is dead.

The EPA is still full steam ahead and that won't change unless D's pay a price at the poll for limiting choice among consumers.

Forget the UAW strike, the real crisis may be a lack of demand for EVs

Toyota continues to look like the geniuses that they are, and the only voice of reason in an industry that has gone full retard.

Most likely, my next purchase will be Toyota.


Emos hate high 5s, they are always left hanging.

If there is any sort of a pivot to back hybridization (either traditional or on board generator type), they'll dominate the world.

What engine will go in the Dodge trucks? 1500 series at least.

 

[GTSpartan]

I'd imagine that new I6 they're coming out with will go into pretty much everything that can accept it. They have a 4cyl version of it that will be used as well.

Why would any repair shop accept one for repair? And this is in the EU! space is at a premium!

British government guidelines insist damaged BEVs awaiting repair should be quarantined in a 15-yard zone.

I dunno. If I were given a Plaid, I'd use it, but I'd never cosider buying one - I sure as hell wouldn't park them in my garage where the "normal" cars live.

That inline 6 turbo is referred to as Hurrcane and produces 500+ HP. It is way behind schedule and there haven't even been sighting of mules with this drivetrain in the 1500.

Could this be it?

God that sounds awful

The only 6 cylinder engine I have ever heard sound good was a Honda CBX.

You think thats bad, wait until they start throwing aftermarket exhausts on them like all the HO Raptor bros lol.
