Seeing as China still burns fucking coal, I don’t see how there can be a problem.

The pancake tortoise is a fast and agile climber, and is rarely found far from its rocky home so that, if disturbed, it can make a dash for the nearest rock crevice.[6] Since this tortoise could easily be torn apart by predators, it must rely on its speed and flexibility to escape from dangerous situations, rather than withdrawing into its shell.[10] The flexibility of its shell allows the pancake tortoise to crawl into narrow rock crevices to avoid potential predators,[6] thus exploiting an environment that no other tortoise is capable of using.[11]

Don’t see anything about heat.

You have an incredibly adversarial tone with that “actual numbers” as if mine aren’t, so I’m not going to continue.

But I will point out I’m using averages and you are cherry picking low mileage per year, low fuel consumption, and low gas prices. And I’m guessing funny electric numbers to change 1/4 the cost of gas to nearly 2/3 the cost. And funny enough you are combining low mileage per year with moderately-high battery replacement rate. You are picking and choosing.

Some quick math from this https://www.realclearscience.com/articles/2022/09/22/how_expensive_is_it_to_charge_an_ev_in_europe_and_is_it_really_cheaper_than_gas_854618.html#!

Puts slow charging at 1/4 the price of gasoline. That’s substantial.

Other searching says average of 18k km per year in Europe. With 6 l/ 100 km average age 1.76€/ l, gasoline costs €1,901 per year. Vs €475 for electricity. Saving €1,426 a year (1,527 US) Do that for 10 years and that’s €14,260 saved ($15, 270 US). I can only expect that savings will increase as gas prices go up.

As for maintenance anything with a timing belt is going to have a massive maintenance cost. There’s just no comparison in the design of these things. Electric motors have such a simple design. ICE cars have oil changes, transmission oil changes, coolant changes, spark plugs, starters, 12 v battery, accessory belt, timing belt, alternator. Yes EV’s have a 12v battery and coolant but these are not taxed nearly as much as ice cars.

EV motors are so simple they’ll handily outlast ice engines. And no transmission either. Boy if you’ve ever had transmission problems you’d never want another, EVs don’t have that. Tesla used to be on about a million mile drivetrain warranty because it really should be feasible. Ice cars can’t ever get that (on average).

Batteries yeah we’ll see how well new ones last. For a mile miles you’ll go through a few batteries, which get better each time.

EVs are more expensive up front, then cost less as electricity is cheaper than gas. And cheaper maintenance and longer lifespan.

Set it up to a mic measuring decibels lol.

Really? I thought facebook martketplace was the big one.

There’s no barrier? I thought they’d be in a cell with the person watching outside.

It went about how you would expect the hundreds of times I watched it happen.

So what exactly happened?

Comment was removed so I took part of it out.

God what a whole lot of mental gymnastics to get a clickbait headline. The article is 95% “Hillary Clinton bad” and then backflips to try to associate it to Biden.

Which community?

All of them, that’s why I can’t do horror.

Should be 100%. After the 70s oil embargo we should have had ungodly research into nuclear, fusion, solar, and batteries. Good time to build more metros instead of asking more car lanes. We could have also kicked coal in the 80s. That’s 40 to 50 years of no political will.

I can only think it was when the lumber mill was the dictator of terms. That’s what they put out, so that’s what it was.

Le groan.

Refer to Google and YouTube.

The convention is 2" before milling. Milling takes off 1/4"on each side, so the result is 1.5".
