They'll probably get huge tax credits for doing this. Believe it or not the average MPG of every model a company manufactures is how they're ranked and favored for tax credits. These car companies know what they're doing and they don't want to lose money to go green. They know you and I the taxpayer will make up for those loses not them.

Look at the curb weight of an 89 Dodge Ram 3500. Now look at the curb weight of any modern 3500 series pickup. And towing capacity is pretty much the same

And they are fucking BIG!...new Ford ranger is the size of an old f150..I guess since they gotta reduce weight to get mpg they have to make bigger for collision mitigation?...I don't know but new f150s are as big as Mac trucks

That's part of it, but the bigger part is the size arms race. People don't want to be in the smaller vehicle. That's why SUV's, and pickups keep betting fucking bigger and bigger. Nobody will buy something the size of a Nissan B3000 anymore.

Even Toyota has gone this route. The Tacoma used to be a compact pickup. Now they're essentially a full size truck (with a cramped passenger compartment thanks to 'safety regs).

They need to increase the size of the vehicle footprint to meet emissions standards. The bigger they are the more inefficient they are allowed to be. So small duty trucks are impossible now.

If you see him stop for gas and he has to climb down his tire to get out, and he’s not driving a monster truck then you’re probably right. Those of us who are 6’5” or so kinda need some room in the truck to fit pede. I don’t step up into my truck, I slide into it sideways. And yes, it’s been used for work. 560000km and counting. I enjoy the fact that I’ve bounced 5 deer off my push grill and I’m still driving just fine. Try that in a fuel efficient shit box that’s basically a glorified office chair and enjoy your Bambi lap dance while I keep driving home and wash the fur off later.

Car manufacturers are shifting towards becoming integrators vs. vertical manufacturers. It's been happening for awhile with car interiors. Cars have ceased to become transportation and instead have become entertainment centers for the same bugmen types that wait for the latest iPhone releases and live inside their Oculus worlds.

Financing here starts at 7% with good credit in the present climate. 0% is a thing of the past. And that's for a vehicle you don't even really want since to get the options or model you want (aka whatever the lot doesn't have) there's a 1 to 2 year wait due to "supply chain issues"

Well it's bad, but it's not THAT bad. I'm in the middle of this process right now, and for a limited production car. An Audi RS3.

I put the deposit down in March, and it's expected to get here in October. And a couple of those months were due to the dealership I ordered from waiting for an "RS slot", because Audi dealerships can only order so many RS cars, based on their sales numbers.

So the car was available to order in May, then I got my slot in July, and the car should show up this fall.

the resell price of the vehicle at that time will be significantly less than the price of Battery Replacement (Repair will not be worth it as batteries of that age will just start dying frequently). 10 year old Tesla Model S sell for 8-10K.....battery replacements start at 22K-27K. That doesn't take into consideration other looming electrical issues in the vehicle. EV's are a very bad purchase once they get past the 5-7 year old mark.

iirc the truck thing in particular was because of a trade war over a tariff on chickens. One of the things that ended up happening as a result was the tariff on foreign trucks was massively increased meaning companies have no reason to try to import trucks to the US for sale because they'll hardly make any money on, which means local manufacturers have no real competition and can charge whatever they want.

The government deficit is a perpetual mortgage on the tax payers of a nation. The gov't increase it's spending because it is betting on two things, an increasing population and inflation. In fact that is the guarantee that ensures gov't can run deficits of 2-5 years their total gdp. Back during the gold standard they assumed the deficit was high at 50% of a year gdp and at 100% it was seem as the nation is about to collapse. No faith whatsoever.

Remember 10% inflation means around .7-1% more in sales taxes, for example something you like costed 2 bucks you may have paid 2,20 at the register now it costs 2,20 and you're paying 2,42 at the register. If the total sales in the u.s. is 1t that 1% is a 10b increase in taxes collected just on sales so instead of collecting 100b out of 1t they'll collect 110b out of 1.1t if spending habits remain unaltered. Inflation isn't a bad thing to gov't or bankers just for the middle class. If you want to see the fed scramble to stop something you need to wait for a deflation, when the dollar starts being valued more they'll literally start printing money non stop until they get a 1-2% inflation going.

– ThorsonTT 5 points 1 year ago +5 / -0

The Government is running up inflation to do two things. #1 Is devalues debt. Who is carrying the greatest amount of debt in the world? The US Government. Debt is a paper asset, so when you devalue the USD, you also devalue said debt. Anyone who holds debt benefits from inflation. #2 it blows up tax revenue (as you point out). Because wages cannot keep pace with inflation, the Government gobbles up more of the money in circulation. This is especially hard on property owners. If you own property your taxes increase because the assessed value increases (because the USD has lost value). Retired property owners are hardest hit because their retirement pay (especially SSI) is always woefully behind inflation. Eventually owners won't be able to afford to pay taxes and will either sell or default.

What the [shadow] Government is betting on is making everyone poor and dependent. The State (and its proxies) will own everything. More and more people will own nothing, live in a pod, and eat their alloted portion of bugs.

they're not even that good cars

but say goodbye to people who travel a lot buying your Dodge chargers. no one's got time to sit at a fucking electrical outlet for 3 hours every 200 miles when ur on a road trip

electric vehicles can never replace gas powered vehicles so long as it takes 300 times longer to charge your electric vehicle than to refill your car at the pump

it's the difference between a 500 mi trip taking an extra 15 minutes total because you had to fill up three times or taking an extra 3 hours total because he had to recharge five times

electric cars are quite literally worse than gas powered cars by every metric in every single category except one: they're greener

electric cars don't go as far perfect. they take longer to recharge. there's a much more significant reduction in fuel economy when running the heat or AC in an electric car versus a gas power. simple things like music air conditioning charging your phone and headlights which are usually handled by the alternator are significant large drain on an electric car because it has no alternator..

there are some there are some more expensive to buy. more difficult to repair and more expensive to fix. there's a huge market for aftermarket parts and do it yourself repairs for regular cars but for an electric car it's much more difficult than costly to replace batteries and other things..

they don't do anything better than a gas-powered car. there's nothing in electric car can do to gas powered car couldn't be made to doo

so they are a worse product that costs more money to deliver worse performance all to solve a single problem that won't even be impacted much regardless

they created a worse product just to solve one problem

electric cars are like the Apple watch: completely useless but a status symbol for wealthy middle class suburban knights who don't really need it other than occasionally driving it to and from the store

edit: and before some Tesla Fanboys try to claim that Tesla has a bunch of features that other cars don't- there's absolutely no feature in a Tesla or any other electric car that couldn't also be ported over to a gas-powered car. none of the features that Tesla has require it to be an electric car..

They aren't even greener. The manufacturing of the battery is equivalent almost a decade of gas emissions alone. Once you factor in the strip mines and industrial waste there is no possible argument that they win out.

Of course, the people pushing them already know this and that's why they have already openly stated that it won't matter anyway. They do not intend for the unwashed masses to drive at all.

I couldn't agree more. I used to work as a mechanic before when I was younger. I was/am certified in electrical systems. An electric car might be fun for some small purposes. like if you don't ever plan on going for a long trip. Just like a grocery getter. I love going to K1 and racing the electric go karts indoors. That's a lot of fun. And another thing, our modern gas vehicles are so damn clean. You can't even commit suicide by running them in the garage anymore.

lol you think electric cars are for travelling. the goal is to keep you autonomous with a vehicle within 50 miles of your home. If you have to travel you'll fly (boost airline stocks), there you'll rent (boost rental company stocks), on and on. Meanwhile they'll let highways deteriorate and save billions in maintenance costs by having less cars travelling. The government make billions on gas taxes but the problem is that money is spent in road maintenance so in a politician hand it's not money easy to steal.

the whole objective of this futuristic future is to make money go around, but instead of you buying things you're always spending to maintain a certain standard. hell i can envision a future where you don't even buy electric cars anymore you buy a subscription to use them and everytime you go to your brands charging lot it'll be full of cars charging so what you do is swap cars instead of waiting it to recharge.

You go to some cities and there are shareable electric mopeds, cars, bikes, electric scooters on and on. It's a fucking mess and all those things edge cars out of the roads and out of parking spaces.

edit: just to add some real life reasons why they want to push this. In Europe there are countries where groceries are more expensive across a border so many europeans will travel to go shopping in a neighboring country specially those who live near borders. Canada does that with the U.S> the U.s. does it with Mexico (medicine) and I am sure people in expensive u.s. states do so as well. This is all an attempt to keep tax cows corralled to their tax designated areas.

The goal is to end road trips.

Between EVs, fuel prices, "mass" transit, light rail, self-driving cars and every other gubmint-subsidized freedom-stealing boondoggle, the goal is to make you as dependent as possible on others (read: the government) for transit.

Honestly if you drive a lot it can be worth it. One of our vehicles costs $500 a month in gas, also our insurance would be half. So I would save 600 a month if I got a Tesla. That’s a huge chunk to offset the cost of a vehicle who’s payment would be $1000 a month. My current cost is $1500 for payment plus gas.

It's really more about battery cycles and time than miles. 7-10 years seems to be about the expected lifetime in the real world. This is also about what I get out of good quality 18650s I run in my flashlights that I take decent care to not over/underdischarge and are never put under extreme loads.

Batteries just have a fairly fixed usable lifetime and there's not much anyone has done about it except for really exotic types designed to be long term storable. There's a lot of materials in em that will tend to degrade over time just left on the shelf.

Teslas have a battery blowout valve now. Teslas battery packs are assembled from thousands of individual small cells each of which has a built in "pressure relief" feature which basicly ruptures the cell canister in a controlled manner and location. It is not a resetable feature, its a safety relief to prevent a explosive failure, and it renders the cell effectivly permanently defective. Think of it as like the "ring pull" on a soft drink or beer can,...but on a much smaller scale.

Wouldn't really say it's a bad thing either, it's more just what's in and out of fashion.

When musclecars were in their golden age there were no forced induction I4 engines that could put out 350 horsies, it was a 350ci V8 that was pushing maybe 200 on a really good day.

Now when you build a factory musclecar it's MUSCLE to the point of not something I'd want to drive daily. Base V8 charger has 380HP, next step up has 485, and after that it's 700+. When I was growing up 400+ was a "wow" number in the Mustang zines after people built and tuned their shit, not off the shelf.

Around 300 has felt like the sweet spot to me, you have plenty of power, can do all the retard parking lot donut shit, but it's not unmanageable even without a computer deciding when and where to put it down.

Refuse to buy electric vehicles and they will get the message. The manufacturers have gotten us to drive trucks and SUVs in place of cars, so they can make more money. EVs cost more than an ICE truck or SUV. Vehicle payments are now as much as some mortgages. Why be a slave to what they want. EVs do not help the environment as much as they told us. The waste from spent batteries plus the way lithium is mined prove that. Research your next vehicle carefully.

They employee strip mining and the waste from chemical refining is just dumped into the nearest river. The environmental impacts these have is pretty well documented now.

The Camaro is a typical GM bad decision story. The 6th Gen Camaro is ugly as sin and generic to most people, isn’t a very nice daily driver, and is harsh with poor visibility. The 5th Gen was a real success, what were they thinking? Meanwhile the Challenger and Mustang S550 are good looking, comfortable cars that you can live with every day and still have a great time driving. The Camaro already died once too. GM has the Corvette that is their real sports car focus, and I doubt it’s going anywhere any time soon. Also, the Mustang S650 is coming soon, with a proper V8. The Mach E is just piggybacking off of the success of real Mustangs, it’s just a badge after all. Stellantis killing the Challenger/Charger at this point is just retarded though. It sells well and is a unique, fun car no matter what the haters say. All that said, even if all the muscle car nameplates disappeared tomorrow, there’s still lots of fun to be had. There’s the Supra, GR86, 400Z, WRX, various BMWs, various AMG Benz, MX5, Audi S4/S5, upcoming GR Corolla, Kia Stinger, muscle trucks like the Raptor, hell even a regular cab F150 with anything but the base non turbo V6 is pretty pissed off …it really isn’t all bad. Honestly I’d say for car enthusiasts today is a better spot than 20 years ago was. Beyond that, even EVs and hybrids can be interesting, it’s just the fact the fact that Democrats are trying to force them that is the real problem. Keep an open mind and don’t forget to have fun and stop dooming once in a while.

No, fifteen minutes of charging after 6 hours of driving. And the US has a hell of a lot more coal than oil, and it is cleaner too - why do you hate the US energy industry?

Whats not shocking is the complete lack of facts about EVs. Teslas can charge 200miles in 15min. Unless you are driving 100mph and then plugging into a 240v outlet at home, you are just a liar.

Yeah, and omit that using superchargers like that hasten your already decaying battery capacity.

Let's do a 2000 miles road trip and see who gets there first. I'll take my slow as a dog 1998 4runner with 350k miles on it.

Which is why you use superchargers during road trips, for every day you drive less than 400 miles you charge at home. Now how many days a year do you drive more than 400 miles?

I know that I would do a 2000 mile road trip with a 6 hour drive, lunch + shitting (1 hour total), and another 6 hours of driving before sleeping at my age. Gas or electric makes no difference doing that

Give it a few years. They're trying to offload the remaining models off the lot by creating a sense of false urgency. Then later on, they'll bring them back in electric form, sort of like what GM did to the Hummer.

this is the way. hydrogen internal combustion that can use the same infrastructure as hydrogen electric cars. hydrogen ice setups dont require much change to current ice drivetrains. 5 minute fuel ups either way. Need to be generating hydrogen with nuclear energy and we are good to go.

Its already happening in CA. Toyota and Hyundai have hydrogen electric cars & they both give a $15000 credit towards fuel. I'm on the other coast, and there is 1 hydrogen fueling station in my state. Probably doesnt get much use, I was surprised to see it, but its there.

Edit: took a second, but I got the hydrogen take off joke. like a blimp.

Current hydrogen cars are stupid. Go look up the cost of the fuel source. I'm betting on pure EVs running on batteries today and mr fusions in the far future(half joking).

Problem with gas powered engines: you only get 20-30% useful work out of the potential energy. You have to go to a gas station to get fuel several times a week/month.

Benefit of gas: its available everywhere and can refuel in a few min. Under Trump cost was reasonable and can come back down.

Problem with hydrogen: the cost of hydrogen is $17 a gallon when non-subsidized, complexity of design, requires batteries if powering electric motors, good luck finding a station.

Benefit of hydrogen: potential to fuel up in a few minutes and can get large tanks and range if needed. Has the benefit of electric motors that have full torque at zero rpm.

Problem with BEVs: the current power source is batteries that lack range and add tons of weight. current batteries wear out and suffer from temperature ranges. Finding a level 3 (super charger) can be hard and often times are in sketchy locations. Current EV's only hold about 66kwhs of energy while a gas powered car holds about 500kwhs.

Benefit of BEVs: Insane power when needed. $5-25 a tank to fuel (home vs public) to drive 250+ miles. You can charge at home and never need to visit a public fuel station again unless you are on a road trip.

Explain how exactly it is better. Electric costs $.05 per mile in fuel, hydrogen costs $2.50 per mile

And it isn't net zero, they get the hydrogen from our oil fields - it is a natural gas byproduct

The auto industry as a whole is still reeling from the coof and shortages. Can't get the chips, can't build the cars. Plus...I think they've sold new cars to everyone that wanted one. The last 10-15 years is was extremely easy to buy a new car, they gave credit to anyone. But now that the recession is starting to really cook, and gas prices, most people aren't thrilled at high car payments anymore - and it's been long enough since cash for clunkers that decent used cars are on the market again. I think the auto industry as a whole is looking at serious contraction across the board. My current car is good to go another 10 years. So glad I didn't pull the trigger on a sports car, like I was about to when covid hit.
