Thanks for your response. Given Alphabet's history of distorting search results I don't like to rely on Google searches though I do use them myself.
Based on a little research I have to concede that you are correct. The Model Y outsold the F series trucks. I was pretty surprised to see how poorly the F series does outside the US. |

This one had me rolling!!!
Buy an EV, but we may take control of your home heating to make sure you’re not using too much electricity. https://www.americanenergyalliance.o...ackouts/?amp=1

It also says "risks blackouts" rather than "will have blackouts". And heres a factchecked article about it: https://www.nationalgrid.com/gridlin...-fact-checked/ Sorry, who is actually terrible at debating intelligently? Jesus wept. |

b) Are you familiar with the American Energy Alliance and their mission statement? c) Do you know who funds them? https://www.greenpeace.org/usa/fight...-alliance-aea/ Again, Jesus wept. |

Jim I will say I also appreciate your ability to discuss topics like an adult. However, we’ve had discussions before and I must say you think very much like the engineer you are. Not a bad thing, but I’m reminded of the character of Howard Wolowitz on Big Bang Theory. Most engineers I’ve met have grand ideas and care about their projects, but they have little real world grasps on the implementation or common sense. I will use your dead solid belief that these active driver safety systems and future autonomous vehicles are all about “saving lives”. I’m sure in your head you think that. I will tell you after 28 years in Law Enforcement people are stupid. Really stupid in some cases. These systems that push the car back over the lines aren’t saving a diabetic that’s grasping to consciousness but for millions of idiots texting and driving. I see it EVERY DAY! Cars meandering from lane line to lane line and the people barely look up from their phone. I do appreciate you saving me from being rear ended by these asshats, but all these things have done is enable a bunch of morons to continue to be a risk on the highway. How about a system that deactivates a cellphone when the car is in motion? That would be nice.

https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.c...crisis-3888951 Maybe this didn’t happen this winter. I don’t know if it did. Want to guess what will happen with a 40-50% increase in EV charging?

But we buy more electric vehicles than the US. Probably not anything to do with energy prices then, is it? Quote:

I don't think they or we are getting much honest democracy. Homeland Security views the cognitive as infrastructure. I may start looking to see how used Y and 3 compare to things like Equinoxes and Camrys. I have the impression the price gap will narrow toward an equilibrium of sorts. Not a great direction for profit margins. Martinjlm may have perspective here. Even when prices for green tech decline, I would suspect it's from disadvantaged labor cost, or dumping, from places like China. China has positioned supply strength between the ore acquiring and final assembly for EVs. Though the recent spending bill has put some hurdles against it for the USA. Tesla appearing increasingly dependent, is sending Shanghai builds to Europe and Canada. |

You could actually practice on some of the older streets of Philadelphia. I had an H2 as an assigned vehicle for a while and went to visit a friend in Philadelphia. There were streets that I could only go down if there were no cars parked on the street. Including his street. Had to walk three blocks to get to his house, and not because there were no parking spots. Because I couldn’t drive down the streets where the spots were.
