Aren't electric cars over-hyped in the 2020s?

[paledreams]

Surely gasoline or petroleum cars brand new are the wiser choice. Duh.

[jshm2]

Don't be daft.

Only buying Elons Tesla shit is overhyped. But the proper manufacturers are producing decent EV stuff.

Another "issue" is people think EV should work exactly as liquid fuel cars. When it's silly to say the least. You get more for your money in electric, provided you're not a long distance driver.

However, you can charge an EV like you do a mobile phone. You just need to get the right charge cable. But you can also fit a full speed charger at home or work too. The main issue is government and utility corporations not upgrading the networks as they should have been.

Hence the drawback of not enough charge spots out and about. Its not the fault of the car makers.

Eh... my real objection to the electric cars (besides the environmental war crimes committed in manufacturing the vehicles) is the fact they're just super ugly. They don't look good to me.

So we have the infrastructure problems of a power grid that can't support EVs. Manufacturing that does far more harm to the environment than any good that driving an EV would provide. And poor styling.

Having an electric car requires a charging station installed, as well as paying for charging in parking soaces that is more expensive than gas. And rechargeable batteries degrade very quickly, which means the value and function of the car will be close to zero in no time. Gas cars are still the better option until they find a way to reinvent the battery and charging system, which will not happen because they would not profit.

Sorry, *spaces

[paledreams]

Not to mention the tires tyres

[paledreams]

Gas cars rule sir

[getpucksin]

100 percent

[paledreams]

Gotta thrive on the brands we all know and love like Chevron, Mobil, BP, Shell, and the independents of the globe of oil producers

[getpucksin]

It is unfortunate that drilling oil has its own problems, but as of now it's still much more convenient than electric vehicles

[paledreams]

Do you have a fave oil brand? Or are you a 7 Eleven guy?

[getpucksin]

Ah, just whatever I can get Premium. Its better for BMWs

[paledreams]

Lol I'm a guy who's not a cheapskate as such - I'm a humble guy who drives regular and opts for regular - obviously premium cars should only take what's recommended - hence I don't drive premium cars

[getpucksin]

Haha I got my first good pay check and went for something expensive. I like less flashy cars though they often work more reliably than newer models

[paledreams]

Okay then. Well enjoy your BMW or prestige brands then. I for one am the kind of humble guy working class straight caucasian humbled guy to just "opt for a simple Mazda hatchback" and not the large one nor the micro one either lol 🚗 red not required lol

[paledreams]

The wing mirrors or side mirrors on those little adorable cars 😁 makes a man cry ♂️ even me

[paledreams]

They're so big and might 🤗😁

[paledreams]

Mighty

[getpucksin]

Mazdas are charming cars, I do not blame you for preferring one -- I only drive my current model because I am somewhat in the public eye playing hockey

[paledreams]

Will you get a Mazda2 hatch? Go on. The side mirrors are like awesome as big natural pale tits ♀️👠

They made more news about this. There were many competitors to Tesla.
