Ford made another bad decision, like they often have in the past, to focus on shifting all their vehicles including the F150 over to electric. This was about 15 years ago when Obama was president right at the beginning of the Green New Scam. So instead of focusing on good quality ICE engines and vehicles they put their money into EV tech.

Same as if you were in parts of Africa today where you had to refuel using liter containers with limited supply. Most people will only need to charge once a week or so and that they can do that at home. When infrastructure is built out it may be at work on a slow charger in the parking lot. They may go years never having to stop to refuel. That's a lot of time saved. But, my comment was comparing ICE car infrastructure at the turn of the century when they were wasn't much there yet to support them. Gas was often dirty and hand-pumped. I remember even in the 60's where remote stations with the older single walled tanks would often have water in the gas. This would end up leaving you stranded a few miles out even though you just filled up. Battery recharge speeds are getting faster. A 6C battery can be recharged in 10 minutes. 4C and 5C batteries are common. Power density is getting to be so good now that same physical size battery can get 700 to a 1000 miles of range on a single charge. Probably see those in 2025 in US cars.

It's hard enough to find a good mechanic these days to work on a gas powered car let alone an EV. The price of used EVs will go even lower. Most people in the market for used vehicles want a cheaper reliable car and as EVs age the potential for a huge expensive battery failure rises.

Cars in general have gotten so complicated, it’s one reason to buy a Tesla. Ridiculously simple, it has a few dozen moving parts in its driveline vs over 3000 in a gas car. The Model 3 batteries are proving to go past 200k so it’s starting to look like the fears are just that.

Breaks on the Tacoma just stay normal and stiff a little. Any ideas Scotty?

Bought cheap after market valve covers several years ago, repeat leak, 3 times. Camshaft position sensors, steering pump, alternator, radiator, you name it. But, it's running, engine seems to be laboring in gear at idle, lost a couple three miles per gallon, need to check the fuel pressure next, BUT I have no car payments, and haven't had for several years now.

Other than Toyota, the new vehicle dealerships in my city stopped selling EVs and Hybrids years ago. They keep one best selling model on hand as a demonstrator then order the model desired from the factory. Most salesman try to steer them into leasing on so the customer won't get stuck owning an out of warranty vehicle that nobody wants to buy unless it's dirt cheap. Toyota has sold wiite s few since the dealership is fully capable of performing all repairs plus has plenty of replacement parts. One Prius owner told me that their service department has special pricing for EV and Hybrid repairs so they can afford to drive those until slap worn out due to being extremely difficult to sell used.

There is a reason the prices of EVs are dropping - they were too high. But the same thing was true with big screens TVs, they used to cost well over a $1000 and now they cost $500 or less. That is what happens when new technology is introduced. That Tesla price drop has had a significant effect. Two of my friends three sons, who are in their 20s, recently bought used Tesla's because of the lower prices.

the cost of the batteries were significantly higher a few years ago, and the manufacturing process was still being streamlined. All of those lead to a higher cost. BEV costs are lower now because of improvements in material sourcing, processing and manufacturing. There is a great deal of improvements yet to come so expect more price reductions. And isn't it a good thing to see in the automotive world, pricing moving in the negative direction instead of the direction ICE vehicles have been going that past many years?

Years ago, I lived in a house right on the corner and my mailbox was right next to my driveway and people kept hitting my mailbox and then driving across my front lawn to cut the corner. I decided I had had enough I put in a concrete mailbox post, but people still kept going around and cutting the corner across my lawn, so I had an old anchor and some heavy chain which I tied around the electric pole that was at the corner as well and laid it out so that anybody coming across would run over the anchor. The anchor would probably grab a hold of the rear axle it worked, I had a guy race across my front lawn. It was a car that hung pretty low to the ground. Well, the anchor did its job and pulled the whole rear end out. He was pissed, but he never came after me and no one in the neighborhood ever ran across my lawn again.
