EV's & Tundra's

Those are few and far between these days?
Kind of like being polite,

 

and I hope the sun does not set before they get help

environment changes drastically


The freaks come out at night….so to speak

 

And if I’m not mistaken

there ain’t a whole lot of decent chargers on the island

14kw charger is the biggest they have

most are hotel based

 

Not even close!

 

last week we took the MS to Dallas.
this week we took the Tundra to San Marcos*. 400miles round trip

The tundra did fine. avg 18mpg 65 cruise control

but...as spunky as the tundra is, it does not hold a candle to the MS.

The Tundra is damn near a perfect truck for us. we don't tow.

This is where I tangent off to the CT.

see...the CT is all that a Tundra is +90%. it's a MS & Tundra combined.



*it was all fun & games till the giant hail storm hit. I'm now dimpled. but according to mythbusters, I should get really good mileage now!

 

Ah shit!
That's part of living in Texas right? My first and only time seeing hail repair shops was when I was in Dallas for work
Pics?

 

pics of before mentioned rim rash & hail damage forthcoming.

I can only do that kind of technical shit at my desk.

 

Lol gotcha

You've never uploaded a pic from your phone?

 

yes

once

and it was not pretty.



my process...
email the picture, on my phone, to work email
open attachment
copy it to Word
size it down
screen snip it
copy
paste to forum message.

the world is still generally flat to me.

and I like it.

 

for theatre of the mind

I'm on the garage computer*.

its car wash day
mom's day meal
Dynamic squat day


Garage computer only does weather in Firefox & Tundras.com on Google chrome.

and pandora if the firestick fails.

 

oh man, that's so much more work!

Can I run you through it one time? You'll never do it on a computer again

 

Sure

run thru it & I will practice with the rim rash pictures.

 

ahhhh!

I copied multiple pictures!!!

from my phone. It’s going to be a good day

anywho

this, gentlemen, is rash. At its best

Home Depot flat black exterior acrylic is the answer

each rim is affected.

You would think she uses it to rob banks

 

LOL

it's been like this since '93.

the MX will NOT have the low profile rims.

I may swap CT tires on it!!

 

for the record....I drive a tundra. <and I'm about to throw that damn wireless carplay dongle out the damn window. it stops every 20 miles.>

Sometimes I get lucky. (no pun intended)

 

<arms still crossed>

the market is coming after S/C's

next chess move...Gov backed funding.

They snuck the gov funding in at the end of the article, of course.

 

I get annoyed with uploading pictures via IPhone because it’s like 2-3 steps. You’re doing like 5 more!

 

Right... because electricity just magically happens and requires no "mining" to be viable.

Some of these shitwits have no gag reflex when it's an EV dick being jammed down their throat. They just ask for seconds.

 

I'd hate to disappoint you.

 

Clean your biased glasses off, good sir.
He's saying it takes 30T of CO2 to build a Tesla battery. Long term it's less CO2 pollution

 

He's talking about ongoing "mining" to fuel ICE rigs. Then he says the EV cost is one time and paid up front. At best its an ignorant argument. At worst it's willfully deceptive and disingenuous.

 

It's estimated 90-95% of a battery can be recycled to build another, where's the ignorance or deception?
