Tesla Cybertruck: The Future?

[Mike W.]

A million+ EVs on the road and you say that I'm the one who needs to get out more....********!!!!!!!!

Also, for Q1 this year it was 1.5%.

So that's add up to 946 million gas or diesel personal cars on the road and 1 million EVs..Again not many people drive or even have a desire to own battery operated cars..

It is very much not what doctors do. There were no pyrotechnics in the briefing on my upcoming surgery and my surgeon and anesthesiologist hold actual medical degrees.

It is uncanny to watch people contort their minds to praise and defend a confidence man while dismissing easily verified evidence of his deception or - barring that - just outright defending that deception as normal and commendable. Seriously how in the "four asterisks" did we arrive at this point in society?

What did he do to you?

I disagree, people want to own and operate cars that are cheap to operate, reliable, and look good. EVs are continuously improving and meet all those requirements. Unlike you, most people could care less what parts are under the hood, and as such have no bias for or against EVs.

Considering battery tech was not capable of long range reasonable priced EVs 10 years ago, its surprising there are 5 million in service! In 2007 only a few thousand production EVs were sold by the major MFGs. In 2018 sales exceeded 2 million!

So the question is, should we trust the biased ramblings of trolls on the internet? Or should we trust the evidence in front of us?

Luddite Automotive Experts been around since they invented the car..

Real cars have to be cranked to start.. nobody is gonna buy an electronic start just to get stranded in the middle of the Mojave and end up a fossil.. wha'da all want, women to start driving or something? smh..

********!!! Look man... What ever you have to tell yourself is fine with me... It appears that you are just here to argue.

EVs are becoming more popular every year... That's a fact that not even you can deny...although if you did I wouldn't see it thanks to the "ignore" feature.

If you wonder why some people can't assess their own lack of knowledge or competence... I will just leave this here. Then again some are just trolling cause it makes them feel good.

The Dunning-Kruger Effect Shows Why Some People Think They're Great Even When Their Work Is Terrible

If you’ve ever dealt with someone whose performance stinks, and they’re not only clueless that their performance stinks but they’re confident that their performance is good, you likely saw the Dunning-Kruger Effect in action.

In other cases, some just know more than the people who are proud of their ignorance - you know; people who thinks something despite the evidence.

For some reason certain trends threaten peoples masculinity. Remember when you had to actually call someone on the phone? Or write a REAL letter?

Hopefully you aren't going in for surgery on a meniscal tear. Apparently the placebo is just as effective as actual surgery

Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy versus sham surgery for a degenerative meniscal tear - PubMed

In this trial involving patients without knee osteoarthritis but with symptoms of a degenerative medial meniscus tear, the outcomes after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy were no better than those after a sham surgical procedure. (Funded by the Sigrid Juselius Foundation and others...

Its fascinating that many arthroscopic procedures are no better than placebo.

Yes, 'placebo surgery' is a thing. And research shows it works.

For some surgical procedures, a patient's outcome might be explained by a placebo effect stemming from the surgical "ritual" rather than from the procedure itself, Christie Aschwanden repots for FiveThirtyEight.

Yes, let's abandon medicine and surgeries because regardless of what's wrong, you're just as good if nothing is done. And let me repeat that you are pro letting corporations cheat and lie as they please all in order to make a profit - apparently including the pharmaceutical industry.

 

[djfriimixx]

It is important to distinguish that musk, tesla, and ev's at large are three separate topics

Good point. The thread is labeled Tesla. So trash Elon somewhere else.

I agree 100% about plug-in hybrids being better. But noone is making a plug-in hybrid truck. So it's not relevant.

Afaik. No one was arguing the limitations of battery technology.

And again. No one has stressed any concern on what means charging stations are powered. There's fundamentally little difference between a diesel generator and coal power plant.

Oh come now. You know I didn't say that. It's important to analyze what works and what doesn't though. I am sure you agree with that.

Same with trucks and EVs...

I was trying to bring this back to Elon and Tesla, but I can't. Please someone tie these two together.

 

[djfriimixx]

I like how fans of the dude are always on a first name basis though.

That's your best rebuttal. That I used his first name. Smh. You got me. We had brunch last week. Then I fondled his balls.

Elsla? Teslon? Etleosnla?

You argued that it's okay to deceive and lie in order to make a profit. That means it should apply across the board if it was to be a valid argument. Now you're saying that it can't possible be applied to other (types of) corporations.
