If I buy the 2021 instead of 2022, will the 5.7 litre be worthless in 10 years?

Toyota is jumping headfirst into this tech. But they are approaching things differently. Search how they are going to revolutionize battery technology. Batteries with 600 mile range, 30 year life spans, and recharge in 10 minutes. Hopefully they pull it off.

 

Agreed and these cars when they are produced are actually worse for the environment

 

One thing we do have to keep in mind is that we need to be looking 30 years into the future with this stuff too. Toyota just came out with this 3.5 liter tt. We know they are going to keep it around for 10-15 years. Those trucks will then be on the road for 20+ years. So we are still looking at 30+ years of gas engines being around.

 

The 3.5 TT has actually been out since 2017.

True but it has been reworked to work in the trucks. Toyota will keep it around for a while.

 

I see the distinction here…. I feel that Toyota isn’t putting all their eggs in one basket and betting on it. That was what I meant to get across. Additionally Toyota has not set these unrealistic goals like the domestics have. Personally I feel that is a poor mindset because it closes the door for other opportunities. Because for Ford and GM, EV is going to be their ONLY option.

 

EV as the only option will never, ever happen unless we start building more nuclear plants. The current coal/oil/gas/hydro generation is only adequate for our current household and industrial needs. Solar and wind are a complete boondoggle - yes they're a factor but only on paper. They require massive subsidies to even exist, they are not truly a viable energy source.

Not being political, but now a days we seem to act first and then think about it after the fact. (After it fails) Kind of the cart before the horse. Watch the 1993 movie demolition man. It kind of gives you an idea what society will be like in 10 years. this is not a political post. Just an observation with a comparison.

 

Exactly, there is reality (nuke plants) and then there is fantasy (solar, wind).

^^100% Truth^^....but the TRUTH is very rarely talked about, the BS climate change agenda keeps chugging ago....sadly!

 

Almost inexhaustible supply of hydrocarbons? I don't like solar/wind all that much but that statement was ridiculous and without any backup for such claims, for a long time we've known we have about 50 or so years left of oil. Solar and wind are only viable in isolated areas where powerlines wont reach... ever or in 10 years.

IMHO, SMR's are the future.

 

"for a long time we've known we have about 50 or so years leftof oil."...LOL...this BS is nothing but what the Climate change crowd wants YOU to believe...but because the so-called "Experts" say so you go right along with it, the fact of the matter is this statement and other like it has been being preached for the last 70years.

 

I'm not that old

Lets say you're right, however, theres NO study saying Oil is "almost inexhaustible"... so are both claims false?

 

The fact of the matter is no one knows just how much/many reserves are available, but the fact I was conveying is the 50 or so years fact is definitely false....for decades, energy producers have continually identified new fossil fuel reserves and developed technologies that enable people to economical recover O&G from deposits previously deemed too difficult to access. That has enabled cumulative fuel production to greatly exceed previous estimates of reserves.

 

Sadly theres a lot of guessing, yeah I don't doubt there's probably more oil than advertised, perhaps it's too expensive to get to the unaccounted wells and simply not worth it.

Only time and greed will tell. If its really all that abundant, then I guess we can continue turning tires to smoke.

 

I still think (in other words probably complete BS) that the powers that be (the govs) will need oil for a very long time, an I mean a very long time, cuz again, F-35's and other war machines are not EV's. So if there perceived cutoff that they need to maintain power is getting close..... Say within 50 years or whatever, then they need to implement other ways/fuels/whatever for the population. Again, I am probably wrong here but it makes sense in my mind.

 

The World can't function without Fossil Fuels...Period!..another dynamic not discussed is the products made from Fossil Fuel by-products- let that discussion begin - the sheeple don't even realize that practically Everything they use on a daily basis was made via Fossil Fuel by-products
(Out of 42.6 barrel of oil, only 19.4 gallons are used to produce gasoline. Almost 60% of crude oil goes into manufacturing different products, the bulk of which are plastics). I'll stop there!

 

Q: If I buy the 2021 instead of 2022, will the 5.7 litre be worthless in 10 years?

A: No

(close thread)

 

Thanks for Closing this thread -

 

Yeah I don’t anticipate that a functional pickup truck is going to be “worthless” anytime within the foreseeable future.

 

Yup. The 2gals of gas burned a year is devastating the planet… However, I wish someone would outlaw gas leaf blowers. Damn things ruin my naps.

 

It will be worthless Only when there is no more gasoline for it!

Just think, someday in the future, way, way, way into the future,
Someone will be driving the last 5.7, Wow!
