        yes the tech will improve but so will the number of BEVs on the road. already the Telsa lines from Vegas to LA on highly traveled weekends are bananas - hollywood big shot Aug 11, 14:10 4
        
        But it's fungible! The roads themselves could be upgraded to charge them while the cars drive. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 11, 14:15 3

  - I hope that the EV switch leads to a thousand flowers blooming - Reagen Aug 11, 14:11 1
    - one would hope. devil's advocate in me still thinks US automakers (and Germany/Japan to lesser extent) just don't want to go EV except at gunpoint - hollywood big shot Aug 11, 14:24
  - You did not just take a shot at Ford, did you? -- nm - crash davis Aug 11, 13:41 8

      - I read his post as everyone should drive a Leaf, and as a shot at the F-150 lightning. Which I might have misconstrued, because that is dumb -- nm - crash davis Aug 11, 14:02 2
        
        not that they should or shouldn't. just that whenever Detroit has had a choice, they've always gone for big and inefficient but pricier than competing - hollywood big shot Aug 11, 14:07 1
        
        We need those trucks in flyover country. BTW, it is great to see you posting -- nm - crash davis Aug 11, 14:08
    - the same Ford that wanted to be Volkswagen before there was Volkswagen? -- nm - hollywood big shot Aug 11, 13:52 3

- I don’t know that RC has even been to a Vegastravaganze. -- nm - Mop Aug 11, 13:10 1
