A. One of my current cars (courtesy) is a plug in hybrid (330e),the ride quality is nice and the electric miles are quiet.
B. I've driven the model 3 and y. Ride quality is not my type. Too much road noise and transmitted noise into cabin from imperfect road surfaces. C I've travelled in a friends model s for around 2000 miles. Ride quality ok but interior is mondeo/skoda level. D. When I step into my US built German SUV's all is forgotten. Enough power Enough convenience Enough comfort Enough space etc. The only thing lacking is that I pay more per mile and in a straight line I'm.slower but those really don't matter to me at the moment. The biggest worry is the write off rate of ev and that no one wants to buy a second hand one and dealers don't wish to stock used ones etc. |

![]() Just cuz I have ICE cars doesnt mean I'm naive to the fact that EV's are the future and much better for the planet at the end of the day...I have kids and hope to have grandkids someday....would hope they will have same beautiful planet that we got to enjoy I will be fine if those are the last ICE vehicles I ever own....to be honest, I hardly ever even drive the 718 anymore and will probably sell it soon...the M3P has been an eye opener for me and has completely jaded my senses of what a car is supposed to do when you hit the gas pedal and not going to gas stations with these gas prices is just a bonus at this point |

"Enjoy the same beautiful planet we got to enjoy"
I just don't understand verde priorities, or maybe beauty is in the eye of the beholder? Hey, y'all check boxes for it. Rock on!

Over the course of the Earth's 4.5-billion-year history, the climate has changed a lot. This is true. But the rapid warming we're seeing now can't be explained by natural cycles of warming and cooling. The kind of changes that would normally happen over hundreds of thousands of years are happening in decades. https://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/ |

The only reason Fed is pushing EVs is greater control of the public. BTW those gas taxes will need to be replaced soon once ICE starts to be less than 50% of new car sales. Will be interesting to see how they will “monitor” miles driven and then send you over nice tax bill. EV power baby! |

I somehow feel that planet earth and mother nature decides the fate of inhabitants and not vice versa.
A mega volcanic eruption and a nuclear winter that follows can easily cool things tremendously. Plus solar panels won't work in that scenario if we become dependent on them alone etc. The Chinese car making industrial machine can make a killing while the west plunges into a recession. |

Let's say EV was never happening, and they kept on improving and evolving ICE, you don't think they can't control you then? With the new cars being able to receive OTA updates, i'm sure that update can trigger some sort of fault into your car if that's what they want to do. And even if you are correct about all that, i honestly don't care. You're thinking of a scenario that's so out there and something you wouldn't be able to change, TODAY, even if you were right about the future. Let's go EV!

Mark Twain would even say today.. 'twas a moment of madness at the time when some fat-so in a house by the river said first 2040,then 2035 then 2030 that fuel vehicular sales would cease'.

I don't think there is much of a market nor will there be for used EV's (I could be wrong), but I don't see much of a market for used electronics, and frankly ICE is becoming very efficient with MPG, so I am of the view that EV's and more likely PHEV's have a place but the notion that a wholesale banning of ICE is a bit short sighted, and is putting the cart before the horse. |

I never disrespect anyone for the car they choose to own, but when people who drive ICE clamor on about globalwarmingclimatechange, then I have to call them on it. Pet peeve of mine. |

![]() I've actually read on the internet where the imbalanced distribution of humans on the planet is the cause of the Milankovitch Cycles, which causes real climate change. LOL. Once Yellowstone lights off, whoever is around at that time will then quickly and fully understand the Earth dictates what life lives on it.
