I’LL STAY WITH MY GAS GUZZLER, THANK YOU VERY MUCH……


From an anonymous Wisconsin State Trooper

I'm not a fan of all electric vehicles. Too many variables affecting
battery consumption. Definitely not suited for cold climates. The
following experience just cements my distaste for EV's, especially
Teslas.

I get sent to a motorist assist the other day, at the start of our
snowstorm. Tesla on the side of the interstate, dead battery. So, I
arrive on scene and the occupants have the right-front door open. They
tell me that they can't open any other doors, because the battery is
dead. Sure enough. Can't open the doors from inside or outside. The
driver also can't get her license out of the glove box where she put
it during their trip. Because the glovebox opens electronically... and
the battery is dead. You actually have to use the computer in the
center of the dash to open the glovebox.
They said they had 10% battery left, should've been plenty to get from
that location to the charging station nearby. Then all of a sudden,
the whole car shut off and they coasted to the shoulder.

So now I have to find them a tow. No one wants to tow EV's. Finally
found one company to do it. 8-mile trip to the charging station in
Tomah. $1,000! Normal vehicle on the flatbed would've been $150.

So now we're at the Tesla superchargers. Guess what. Can't open the
[beeep] charging port because the battery is dead!!! The ports open, you
guessed it, electronically!!! 🤦🏼‍♂️🤬. And we also can't open the
doors now (had to close the one open door when it was loaded onto the
wrecker). The owner's manual is in the on-board computer, but the
battery is dead.

I got the occupants to a store where they'd be warm while calling the
rental company to figure out how to charge this (&^$, so I'm not sure
of the outcome. I had to leave for a crash report.

EV's may be the way, someday, but certainly not today!! I'll stick
with my dinosaur burner.

omg that is funny. the scenery in the cab wasn't bad either. oohlala

Lol, they both kept a pretty good sense of humor during it all, at least on camera.
 
Of course they do. He owns 13 super cars including 2 Lamborghini aventadors, a twin turbo Lamborghini Gallardo, and a Bugatti Veyron. Oh and a multi million dollar custom home.

She's just along for the ride.
 
read an article the other day about a guy who bought a full size heavy duty electric pickup. He found out without a dedicated charging station it takes a full week to charge.
 
The whole point of this for politicians, isn't saving the planet from climate change(because they know it's been a lie since 1969). It's a path to prevent citizens from traveling and INTERFERING with a political agenda, the dismantling of the constitutional republic and replacing it with a world GLOBALISM "economy" where you will not have any private property(including firearms). Called the 2030(year) Great Reset. This will include a central bank digital currency, which can be monitored and your spending controlled(food,fuel,every manner of goods and taxation).
 
Electric vehicles are not any more "sustainable" or "greener" than gas and diesel operated cars and trucks. It's all BS. The batteries are full of toxic compounds an windmills and solar panels that blanket the country side do not provide enough energy.

This is all one big scam.
 
It’s all a ruse to spend taxpayer money and progress an agenda, and corporations go along with it for the tax breaks and fall in line.
 
Setting aside the politcs of it all, I know people who drive EV's

the technology has reached the point where it's pretty impressive & there's a lot I like about. But it's still an emerging tech & there are significant things that I don't like yet & it's just not at the point to be the solution for everyone, with every need & use, in all climate zones in this country.

At this point my next truck, if I ever pull the trigger on one, will be another ICE engine, not an EV

There is always some truth in every big lie. Like always follow the money.
