Buttigieg ‘astonished’ that Americans don’t want electric vehicles: Chasten & I bought our 1st plug-in hybrid EV 5 years ago, It cost us about $14,000

[otto105]

No thanks. I’ll stick to Porsches and American muscle.

A Tesla of any other EV are faster than a Porsche.

LOL no they are not.

A Tesla of any other EV are faster than a Porsche.

Which EV do you drive?

 

[pknopp]

Again, what make and model of EV could be purchased in 2017 for $14K?

A used one. It was a plug in hybrid. I bought a Ford C-Max in 2017. It had around 30k on it and I don't recall the exact price. Around $11,000.

Man you are shit simple

 

[Natural Citizen]

They're just not practical, there is no infrastructure for them and they are extremely toxic to the environment. No thanks.

I say no, thanks, just because I do not want one.

I couldn't care less about practicality, infrastructural capabilities or the environmental narrative. Pft...

 

[otto105]

Man you are shit simple

They have faster acceleration and soon will be faster at top speed with a better transmission.

Pete Buttigieg Tells Americans Struggling With Gas Prices To Just Buy Electric Vehicles

He lied! In 2017, the cheapest plug-in hybrid was $28K and it was a small Ford that you have to step out of in order to change your mind!

I would call him a cocksucker but that would be redundant!

Chasten and I bought our first plug-in hybrid electric vehicle five years ago, used. It cost us about $14,000.

Why is reading comprehension so difficult for so many?

Yeah, pretty much same here. I've been drilling holes and extracting that bad black stuff for 10 years. lol

Really. You work in the oil fields?

 

[Seymour Flops]

He noted it was used.

yeah, I guess you could have bought a used electric vehicle. But why? Used vehicles go down in value almost instantly, because the batteries are huge and expensive and don't last. Why get one, other than to someday say that you bought one for that price?

I'm guessing that he walked the short distance to work and used the gasoline engine when he had to go somewhere longer. But, by doing that, he became fully qualified to be Secretary of Transportation!

Hey, Mayor Pete! I bought a gasoline-powered Chevy Suburban in 1985, for eleven hundred dollars (talked them down from $1500, whoop, whoop!). I could easily afford the gas, even working part time and going to school on the GI bill!

I'm astonished that you and your husband didn't do that instead buying an electric hooptie for 14K. You could have gotten (pauses to calculate) a dozen Chevy Suburbans for 14K and had almost $800 left over for gas, oil, and baby formula, if you could find any.

Sometimes I wish I could put my ethics to sleep just for one year, and make a fortune duping people with liberal logic and fuzzy math. I gotta look my kids in the eye, though . . .

Operations geologist mainly in the permian right now. I go out to the rigs every now and then and get laughed at because my hard hat is too clean.

Always amazed when when you become rich enuf white enuf and liberal enuf and gay enuf to tell me what I should buy

Which EV do you own?

Don't have to own one to learn about it.

I bought one because I thought the technology is pretty cool. I ended up getting a free nights stay in a state lodge as can be seen in the video I posted.

Also.......I worked at a chemical plant. I talked to the plant manager about putting a plug in for me. I lived around 20 miles from work which is around how far a C-Max would go on electric power alone. I had planned to then plug in at work and drive home on their dollar. The plan was for the company to use the whole thing to boost their poor ecologic record. Well, they never did install the plug and the car was rear ended.

Yes they work just like a regular hybrid after the electric runs out.

If people only bought $1100 vehicles we would quickly run out of them. It's a good thing for you that people buy new cars because without them there are no used ones.

Fair points.

Yes, that is exactly right!

Nobody drives a new car very far, anyway. Pay for a new car, and it becomes a used car as soon as you drive it off the lot. I have never bought a new car, and I never will. I buy cars that are a couple of thousand miles to twenty thousand at the most, still under warranty.

I have a truck I bought at just over 2K miles, that had some cosmetic damage from being repo'd. There was resin spilled on the bed liner, and the passenger side window had obviously been broken and replaced. No new car smell, darn! But I got before it needed its 4,000 mile oil change. It was way cheaper than a brand new version of the same make, model and year.

So, yes. I let the new car buyers enjoy their vanity and debt they can't afford and then I benefit from their foolishness. I don't know, though. With even used cars being so much more expensive, under Biden, I think my next will be a chip-free classic.

GOP dupes believe that EV's are communist and anti American....

And the rest of us KNOW they are over-priced pieces of aardvark shit.

You need a new trick, moron. "Idiot-Gram" was only useful (not to mention never actually clever) the first five hundren times you used it. It's like "racist". It doesn't work any more.
