Flintstone cars are better and we can use it to fix pot holes.

OK I'm old but there is NO WAY I'm going to get rid of the sound, flames and fumes!

 

[Russk]

A hybrid still has a gas powered engine & sound, as in the H replacement and the A replacement. So yes I will buy a hybrid. Full electric is another story.

 

[Billionaires]

Interesting on the Ferrari forum. One camp says people will still buy F-Cars on the name alone while the other camp says there will be nothing to differentiate F-EVs from other EVs.

I agree with Russ, Hybrid yes but full electric is a bridge too far at this point.

 

[Adrenalista]

Hybrid maybe. Full electric and you’ve lost me on so many fronts. Including the “better for the environment” since VW research proved that’s not true.

Do you have a link to that study?

Thx

WDYT about what people said on the Ferrari forum?

I believe 50,000 pounds of earth needs to be mined just to make the battery pack for a single Tesla. So all those tree huggers that are driving Teslas should look into a mirror and see if their faces are melting.

In my home town they reopened the lithium mine, Trucks the size of buildings and down they go into the pit. Environmentally friendly? No F-N way. This mine is a pilot project to see if it's viable. Then they plan to deforest the entire region. I won't go into details all the problems it creates. If it's anything like gold mining, the rock dust is thrown into the wild, creating miles of slab, a quick sand sludge toxic as hell and nothing will ever grow again. Check out the waste mountain out back.

Till now the only “electric” voter! 🥳
50 years ago we wouldn’t buy cars we’re driving today either. Planning to stay on this planet for an extra 50 years, so yep… I’ll buy electrical Lambo’s by then…

It's very profitable business: rare earth materials for lithium battery and bottled drinking water from that fresh pod of green water

Yes they probably sell that water into water bottles for fancy people called "Alkaline" water.

As a young man I used to work in a lot of mines and one day I stumbled on 3 rusty and dented buckets filled with what looked like mud, I was curious and I approached them and all of a sudden a security guard popped out of nowhere with a shot gun and told me to stay back.. I thought he was a little nutty, I asked why he was guarding buckets of mud, he explained it was concentrated gold slurry and was going to the last process to turn it into gold bars.

I’d be 100% for that kind of mining if only it was at Martha’s Vineyard

By then, everyone will be forced to only use mass transit. No cars, no personal transportation. Another form of government control.

 

[Shark01]

Anything not a full ICE in a fun car is a non-starter for me. For a boring as crap daily, I'll buy a Dyson.

First, correction the study was from Volvo and can be found here
If you don’t want to read the 50 page report, CarScoops has a short summary article. Volvo Says Manufacturing An Electric Car Generates 70 Percent More Emissions Than Its ICE Equivalent

And this adds a bit more color to the picture.In the tight race to market, EVs are becoming less green – research report

This research hasn’t even broached talking about the lifespan of a battery pack and replacement costs (carbon footprint or $$) which should also factor in. I’m sure someday manufacturers, our power grids, and everything else may align to actually benefit the environment. But it’s not now.

I was hoping Lambo would back off the move toward hybrid/electric and back up the bandwagon. Here is hope they do
