Hi Scotty I used to have an Ebike what a disappointment, no range to speak of, slow to charge, and really hard to peddle with a dead battary. So being a mechanic and welder/fabricator i built a gas powered trike with a cargo basket over the engine and rear wheels. way more reliable and efficiant.

This was in 2018 and in 2020, I got let go. All the employees knew we were done despite what the bosses were saying. Today 2024, where's our company? SHUT DOWN and gone!

Evidently you missed the point.

If you're actually replacing a car with an e-bike, then you're an exception to that overwhelming rule. Exceptions don't negate the general rule, so what he's saying is still 100% correct. It'd be like if your local pizzeria said "80% of people who order delivery from us choose pepperoni as their topping" and you replied with "that's not true, I've been ordering sausage for 4 years now."

Which aren't all bad.

I think the idea is you can ride an electric bike to work instead of driving a car. Peddaling a regular bike to work 10-20 miles isn't practical and you will be all sweaty, but you can easily do this on an ebike if you have a good path and longer range moped style ebike.

At my work, someone bought a Alfa Romeo Giulia nice car Royal blue with Red Leather interior. I have 2016 Chrysler 200C AWD I read some where those two cars share same platform Probably true?.

That's fine by me. I was never planning on buying an EV, and I got rid of my X account two weeks ago. Let X and Tesla both go under.

I love this guy, don’t know anything about ev and Tesla companies, when the company start making the cheap Tesla will love to see the face of scoty.

Should have been announced 2 years ago if there was any plan to ever release a compact vehicle. Even if the "Model 2" was announced this very day, would take 2-3 years to get it to market. Cars are not shadow dropped on the market my guy, if there was even 1 prototype car, we would have seen it.

I’m NOT an American but I live and work here part time to full time year to year. I must say it’s people like this and those who follow that bring so much humor to my life. YOU DO REALIZE Tesla is a major company with most of it sales outside the United States of Lunacy. Last year I believe internationally they outsold Toyota for the most popular model which was the Y. I don’t think they are going under I DO THINK the US will be in financial turmoil very soon though. Btw, 700k on EV’s little to no problems.

Umm things have a non shelf life though so 🤷 it makes sense to study the gasket life span based on self use of the vehicle which also includes injector fuel intake amongst air intake through the air filter and noticing how finicky the mass air flow sensor is and how the chip can send Multiple codes just because the mass air flow sensor needs cleaned and has sensory issues example includes subaru. That mass air flow sensor is so delicate that it can triple Multiple codes, cause your vehicle to idle extremely rough and make your vehicle even go 10 mph at the least with your foot not touching any pedal and that's after changing or checking the air filter.

Scotty as a long time bicyclist commuter prior to owning full on loan cars, i respectfully offer you my opinion. My decision came down to getting a vehicle or e-bike but the risk of it getting stolen and occasional need to haul bigger volumes of things swayed me to get the vehicle. It could be a life decision for die hard frugal people. Gj Colorado I suppose. Also, if i had my way, id like a hybrid bike with miniaturized systems for observational learning. Could offer a stepping stone opportunity to qualify people to work on electric vehicles.

I commuted to work for years, about 50 km both ways, and consumed about 1000 calories more per day to do so. The extra food had to be produced, and its production would produce pollution. Someone more competent than me should compare the pollution caused by electrical bikes and regular bikes.

On solar panels. The Diodes under the back panel is where you modify the solar panels. The majority of the time when a solar panel doesn't work. One is burned out. There are 4 or 5 per panel. Buy 30 amp ones. Then buy. Alaminium heat seankers. When you solder on the new one. You're not burning it out with the hot iron. I have about 4 bags of them. They were cheap.

Gotta say, where I'm at Fiats aren't bad at all. 500s are a common mini car model here, and the owners I've talked to are quite happy. The Tipo is great too. Might have something to do with where they're made, here the 500s are made in Poland instead of Mexico in the US

Back in the 1960’s and 70’s Fiat sold cars here in America. As a big manufacturer in Europe and elsewhere they I am sure expected success. They weren’t a good fit. For many places here mostly cities and medium sized towns. But for reasons unknown the cars constantly broke and rusted away even worse than domestic models. We used to joke that Fiats just couldn’t cross salt water. If they did something happened to them. And yes, I did own a few in my youth.

I'd say it's mostly the technophiles being obsessed with cool features. In general the main selling points of Teslas are that they're faster and more powerful than cars of the same size and price bracket, smoother from the lack of a motor shaking the cab, have sporty suspension so you can take turns hard, and the built in computer doesn't lag or stutter from the simplest of uses. In general I'd say half of these are very subjective value with only the first two being a value to most. The Tesla fans really seem to praise that last point though which to me makes little sense. Yeah it doesn't stutter and lag like most built in computers, but you also lose things like Android auto and need subscriptions to do much of anything.
