What are they going to drive if there is only electric?

Why a horse and buggy of course…. Hmm maybe all those buggy whip companies will come back.


My kid just bought an Ebike,it’s more bicycle than scooter as it’s easy to pedal and has pedal assist modes to increase range. It’s supposed to go 40 miles on a charge and up to 70 miles with assist.

If you put it in off-road mode it will go about 35 mph but that reduces range,it’s regulated to do 27 mph to conform with local laws when driven on road. That’s why it has an off road mode,I suspect he will use that mode and just press the magic button if he’s pulled over for some reason.

Hoping the streets in our cities look like those in India and say Vietnam...when everyone is riding bikes and super crowded mass transit...that should save the planet...

Private transportation will be the very rich only when all this all pans out

You will be happy in your driverless electric cab ride sharing with stinking ppl you don't know wearing your useless mask as it will be free with government subsidizing...oh and hurricanes floods earthquakes 110 heat index days will be a thing of the past lol

Er you missed "not"

Some/many put their egos in their cars or trucks..

As I drive a 2013 4 cylinder Tacoma I am not in that crowd :)

I drive a nice truck because I can. You can drive whatever you want. If you think people drive nice vehicles because of their egos.... I'd say your just jealous. Some folks just like nice  things. I pull trailers from time to time and don't care to have a bunch of vehicles. My wife drives a SUV. My brother on the other hand has several vehicles. Two corvettes (2006 C6 and 2018 C7), a 1941 Willis with blown 502 (show car), a ZL1-1LE Hennessee 850 Camaro, and a 2015 Denali 2500. He has ordered a new C8 Vette and is about to order a new 2023 Denali.

Different strokes for different folks.

Zinga! Lol

I like nice vehicles too but I stand by the ego comment

I don't think I am jealous by stating that....this day and age I don't think I am jealous of anything materialistic

Many are over financed in the car department just to impress
