Toyota Pricing WOW!!

But you are helping the environment by sitting 30-45 min

 

Yeah none of this is about the environment.

 

100% agreed.

 

Lol, yes!

It's worse than Florida! When I visit Florida, I have to refrain from getting too excited about hitting the state line because it's still like 7 hours to the house!

 

Or bring a gas generator….
I saw a review/test on using a Lighting to power a house, not quite all its made out to be. When pressed the truck had trouble keeping 60Hz.

 

You have done nothing BUT argue. You and @TRDLE.

Once again. I have not seen a single post bagging on EV. It is a wonderful evolving technology that even Elon Musk thinks is not the future (he thinks it’s solar).

We get your point. All we ask is you get ours. Tech is not advanced enough. We are jumping into an area we are not ready for (tech and infrastructure) We are jumping ship from a reasonably good energy solution that works for everyone to get into one that works…..for some people. I can’t personally use EV. While I would love to, I would be one of those sitting and waiting for it to charge because of my commute distance, calling my boss telling her that my car is charging.

And just because, I will give you a pretty picture.

 

Yep, he keeps responding with awkward statements that aren't even remotely related to the topic being discussed. And yet, he's the one with all the memes about missing the point.

 

One of the best things about getting older is perspective.

When I was younger, I could be very judgmental. I thought I knew the right answers and everyone else was just living in the past. Now that I'm " middle-aged", I can look at the hackiest electrical work and a lot of times I can figure out why they did it that way. LOL

But, some people can't look at things that way. I don't think young people can be as open-minded as they claim to be. All they have is numbers and facts, but they have no life experience to give them perspective.

 

Wisdom.

 

Not to be confused with intelligence.. (at least in my case)

 

That's just idiotic. Seems there's a bunch of conspiracy theories rattling around behind such a statement. Maybe having to do with a "new world order" and pedophiles at pizzerias. We already know you think masks are part of a conspiracy. Give us a break.

 

Yep.

Hopefully this posts. Good read. How much is your time worth?

“The F-150 Lightning was able to travel about 90 miles before needing a charge, but they didn't run it until it was completely dead. Efficiency came in at 0.7mi/kWh. Meanwhile, the GMC Sierra covered nearly 160 miles, and the dash display showed 8.9 mpg.”

“It cost Tommy less than $30 to charge the Lightning, though it took a good amount of time. The gas truck used about $100 in fuel, but you can fill it up almost instantly.”

 

I'd like to know more specific information about what they were towing, how fast, etc.

 

oh agreed. I assume it was equal grades, weight, etc…..and color

Just time. I’m sure many more tests will be done.

 

On a side note. What will it cost an electric semi to transport goods?? Not in fuel cost but in time. Most truckers get paid by mileage at the moment. If it’s not efficient, demand goes up. And prices with it. Just food for thought.

 

Watch the video. Looks like it’s all even. Long video but good

 

Identical 6K# toy haulers @65mph

 

I believe the general plan is to twist legislators’ arms into approving driverless semis. No labor costs, except for maybe paying somebody to plug the trucks into chargers at evenly spaced charging depots. Wait, they could do that autonomously too. Local drivers would do final mile deliveries, Im sure using an uber style system to squeeze every last drop out of anybody trying to make a buck.

 

Good conclusion to that article:

“Are you considering an electric pickup truck like the F-150 Lightning or Rivian R1T? Is towing a concern? If so, what's the solution? Avoid an electric truck entirely, wait for the technology to improve, or simply live with it and make it work for you?”

 

Yeah I don't think masks are part of a conspiracy. I just don't think they work. We clearly see the world different which is fine. I didn't say what you said is idiotic. I said I disagree because where I live its a completely different world. Enjoy yours and I will enjoy mine. This thread is not about masks. Its about the stupid pricing of Toyota’s. I’m actually thinking about buying a 3rd Gen local to me and selling my 5th Gen and have no debt if it’s worth a shit when I look at it.

 

You want to help the environment. Get rid of a billion people or two billion. Problem solved.

 

Yep and even the Covid plan is falling short on that number. Thankfully

 

6th gen doesn't really matter to me since I'm not getting rid of my 5th gen for 10+ years

But I'd rather see a hybrid, or just a v6 turbo..

 

Yeah riding a bicycle is hard for some of them so I highly doubt they can make EV infrastructure a reality. Then the next administration will halt that program and then next one will halt what the previous administration does. I will be done driving by the time they figure this out so I'm not worried about EV.

 

So facts don't count if they don't align with your perspective? Ok bud

 

What facts?

Where is there any fact posted in this entire thread that I have disputed?

 

I think someone just wants to argue with you for the sake of arguing.

 

I think you are correct.

 

Unfortunately, a lot of what many people call "facts" do not meet the definition of the word "fact". I would guess that an implicit part of Thatbassguy's statement regarding people relying on numbers and facts, is that they often do so without confirming the legitimacy of said facts or having a solid understanding of the numbers they're using to support their argument.

Just a guess though!
