Uh, about EV battery fires ....

[5spdCab]

I think what is missing from the EV/fire debate is you don't have people driving around very many old EVs yet.

Most vehicle fires are from poor maintenance. One truck I bought had the rubber fuel line so ethanol rotted it was squirting fuel 2ft in the air with each pump of the lever arm, onto the engine and accessories.

As evs get older you'll see plenty of people not spending on preventative maintenance, not follow schedules, and, see more fires.

Musk is a moron. Yes, I know how many years tesla has been building contraptions. But to illustrate a point with equally absurd numbers to what he tries:

Product A has a sample population of vehicles averaging less than 5 yrs old, with 95% of net "miles driven" being within a couple years of manufacture.

Product B had a sample population of vehicles averaging somewhere around 15-20 yrs old, with 90% of miles driven being outside a couple years of manufacture.

But it's fair to compare incident ranges side by side because... derr. Sheeple don't think for themselves anymore.

They buy teslas for the utility? (NSFW-ish)

I'm thinking the same as you. They aren't telling us the average age of the gas/diesel vehicle fires vs the electric vehicle fires.

Whatever happened to the Stanley Steamer? There's a guy in this area has a service by that name, will come clean your carpet. Not many of the cars on the road, though.

They are a fairly big company here in the Seattle - Puget Sound area.

I cannot wait to see what an EV riding mower is going to cost to purchase and maintain. Because 3/4 of an acre takes a long time to cut without gas...

F*cking tree huggers.

Maybe I should get some goats... but, then there is the methane emissions.

You've got kids... labor is already paid for.

They are here in NJ too.

As for EV mowers there won't be any because there will be no need for them when everyone lives in pods. Some of the top models will even have standing space.

Following D.C.'s Lead, Montgomery County Residents Petition To Ban Gas Leaf Blowers

They say the leaf blowers are noisy and bad for the environment, and want to see a ban imposed like the one D.C. will have in 2022.

The funny thing is that the people pushing for mower reform don't even cut their own grass.

It's the f*cking pathetic urban creatures who unwittingly demand things with a child's mind, and then walk back their decision when they are forced to address the matter like an adult.

Agreed, and that is because sheeple parents believe the government's lies that government is the best teacher/babysitter for all children.

They are using goats around here as a wildfire "fuel reduction" strategy. Turn a herd of 'em loose on a hillside. No one has expressed any concerns about the methane -- until you, that is -- and the goats are happy.

That's our boy. I wonder when those trucks will go electric? They certainly are not steam powered now, but if you think about it, they could have been, since they have to generate steam anyway, right?
