i was wondering how long it would be before that article showed up in one of the tesla threads.
Is that even bad compared to the Normie death toll? I feel like I dodge texters daily on 95
Driving is literally the most dangerous thing any normal person does

Driving in Miami is great compared to nyc - tesla will not be an independent company much longer
Merger with ford or gm coming soon
No way. Ford / GM adopting charging from Tesla. They are the leaders in EV.

He’s a media guy now
Mr bean touched a nerve. Mass media doing damage control on Rowan Atkinson is actually hilarious. Must not bash their agenda…

Google it quite comical the damage control retorts from industry insiders
I think evs have great potential as well. But agree with most of what he eloquently says, I was just never duped by it
There is a lot of overthinking in that article. I don’t think people are buying EVs for environmental reasons, not anymore at least. Well, I’ll just speak for myself. I don’t lease EVs because I care about the environment. I actually went from an EV to ICE and then back to EV. I have never nor do I ever plan on taking a road trip in an EV, not as long as we have a gas vehicle in the household, at least a PHEV which will still be allowed after the gas car ban. I just don’t like doing things the hard way

I have two EVs. The environment never factored into my decision. $6.00 gas did, however.
Most wealthy environmentalists are among the world’s biggest hypocrites…multiple homes, thousands of hours in the air, private jets, yachts…
A garage full of Hummers would do less damage than a private jet trip to Aspen.

The Toyota guy calling out an article that concludes hydrogen is the future… Which completely ignores the concept of EV battery recycling.
I converted to BEVs because of economics, not environment, but I sleep well at night knowing that instead of supporting big oil my cars are powered by the sun.

Wouldn’t it be wild if Toyota was just faking us out with this hydrogen nonsense and was really working on solid state batteries that are commercially viable?
Hopefully the case but not holding my breath, I’m losing faith in the company that brought us the first legit mass market hybrid.

The truth is that even if you have solar your car really isn’t powered by the sun due to interconnectivity as the overwhelming majority of the grid in the US is powered by fossil fuels (60% as of 2021). There are almost zero “environmentally friendly” aspects to the manufacturing and disposal of your BEV battery as well.
No gas is a reality though.
Nothing against the world of BEV/EVs etc., but you have to be realistic about what is really going on.

Shhhh…don’t let anyone know Toyota holds the most patents in the solid state battery space.
