    I think it’s funny how Honda and Toyota have all but ignored production of EV’s. They know it’s not the future.

    I think the new S2000 will be a hybrid
    Hybrid rech make sense for 90% of cars. Going full EV, like GM is hell bent on doing, does not. Until you add in politics, of course.
    I disagree. You’re still on the hook for gas but you also run the risk of battery failure. Worst of both worlds IMO.
    If there were mass examples of battery failures in hybrids, I would agree. They're also typically warrantied for 100k or more miles. Hybrid vehicles are a pretty mature technology at this point.
    No problem with hybrids if you want to buy one. My problem is the big federal tax credit for plug-in hybrids. If it needs a federal credit, it's an inferior vehicle.

    Fair enough I guess. Still don’t want it on a 2 seater sports car due to the added weight. I’ll have a Supra.

    Yes but what about Matt Gaetz’s potential underage sexual assault???

    You support pedophiles just the union boss

    I think you might be the pedofile supporter. I still have yet to hear you condemn the case I brought up
    The guy that votes for all the Epstein client list weighs in on pedo's news of the day!

    There are definitely cars that the tech needs to stay out of. The 10% would be sports cars / muscle cars.

    Those batteries are about $8,000. I looked at some Priuses, but if the battery isn't very new, no way in hell.

    So not as bad as a Tesla, but still pretty pricey. That’s about what I would have guessed.

    On the other hand, there are hybrid supercars and if someone can afford it those are pretty cool. I think it was Koenigsegg that has one with a regular motor and then 4 individual electric motors that provide power to each wheel individually. The electric motors adjust the wheel spin using the computer to provide optimal grip on a race track, and that’s cool as hell.

    Hybrids give people a chance to feel good while having a vehicle that actually works because it has gas in it


    All good with me but they get banned in 2033 too
