PEOPLE WHO PURCHASE GAS-POWERED CARS: ‘SORT OF LIKE BUILDING A HORSE BARN IN 1910’

https://apple.news/AJEBFK1xYRkqFj-Us9kwNoQ

The CEO of the fast-growing electric vehicle company Rivian Automotive has shared some strong statements about purchasing a car with an internal-combustion engine (ICE).
In conversation with Robinson Meyer of Heatmap, Rivian CEO R.J. Scaringe suggested that those buying an ICE vehicle would be ignoring the progress being made in the EV space and would soon experience regret for their decision.*
“I think the reality of buying a combustion-powered vehicle … is sort of like building a horse barn in 1910,” he said. “Imagine buying a Chevy Suburban in 2030 … what are you going to do with that … in 10 years?”
“Gas stations will be slowly disappearing,” he added. “It’s just weird.”
With shifts in consumer attitudes, positive policy decisions regarding EVs worldwide, and improved drivability, Scaringe told Heatmap that the increased interest and uptake in EVs is “awesome to see.”*
“If you’d told me just a few years ago,” Scaringe went on, “that Europe would be committing to 100% of new vehicles being electric … that California would be making that commitment in the same way, that the United States, through EPA regulations, is going to be 60% EV of new sales by 2030, I don’t think I would have believed it.”

Poor MAGA. They're running out of Depends.

ALL-ELECTRIC TESLA SEMI GO HEAD-TO-HEAD WITH A DIESEL 18-WHEELER: ‘IT’S GOT TREMENDOUS POWER’

Medium- and heavy-duty trucks in the United States send nearly 920 billion pounds of pollution into the atmosphere.

Scalable, sustainable trucking is one of the final frontiers for cleaner road travel, and a new video has demonstrated just how game-changing Tesla’s electric Semi could be.
In a video captured by Zanegler and posted to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, a Tesla Semi is seen passing a similar-sized diesel truck with ease on the Donner Pass.*
The X user noted that the trailer is carrying “a significant weight,” which makes the performance even more impressive as it tackles the road’s incline.*
According to Tesla, the Semi is capable of reaching 60 miles per hour from standing in just 20 seconds, while the estimated range on a full charge can be up to 500 miles. It reportedly consumes under 2 kilowatt hours of electricity per mile and can recover up to 70% of charge in just 30 minutes at appropriate charging stations.*
Per Ian Tiseo of Statista, medium- and heavy-duty trucks in the United States send nearly 920 billion pounds (417 metric tons) of pollution into the atmosphere. Compared to similar levels from 1990, this marks an increase of around 78%.

I assume you mean, as most of us use the the word "gas" to casually reference it, gasoline, right?
Not propane or anything like that, I'll assume.

Building a horse barn in 1910 is a fairly good analogy, I think,
because while 1910 was admittedly late for horse barn building,
it still wasn't completely unreasonable to build a horse barn in 1910.

2023 is probably just a little bit late to buy internal combustion engine motorcars,
but we still haven't reached the point where it's unreasonable to be buying one.

Building an urban horse barn in 1940, however, would raise a few eyebrows, and maybe, eventually,
it will be that way with gasoline fueled cars.

IOW, the CEO of an EV company is bragging up EVs.... So?

If you buy a gas car now, you're gonna have trouble selling it in ten years.
It'll be obsolete.

Do people buy ten year old cars if they're not classics worthy of restoration?

Let's say that they do, in fact.
Maybe they're kids buying their first jalopy.

That brings us to the second question.
Do people my age worry about ten years down the road?:laugh::laugh::laugh:

How much does/will it cost?
Why is this article intently focused on bragging up acceleration? (I already know why)
How is it being estimated to "have a 500 mile range"?
What is "a significant weight"?
Is the 2kWh/mile usage claim referring to just the semi itself or with a trailer under "a significant weight"?

Only a handful of the MANY questions.........

I keep all my cars for at least ten years. I had a 1988 Acura Integra stick shift for 14 years. Loved that car.
When I posted it for sale, I couldn't believe the interest in it. People were knocking down my door to buy it.

Interesting.

If it works out for you, Joe, thinking ahead is the way for you to go.

Yeah that poster isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. Remember leftists view the world through the filters of skin color, party affiliation and genitalia. Thats all they need to know about you to know what you like, how you think and how you behave.
