Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

Meanwhile, other studies say they wear tires out way faster because they're heavier, and rubber tire dust adds quite a bit to the emissions as well.
Pick up trucks are the same weight or more than most evs sold today. The tire wear discussion was on weight of vehicles, not evs. Other sites reported on it and grossly overestimated the average weight of an ev.
Have you ever stood next to a Cybertruck?
I have. Those stupid sharp corners are close to the height of the average person's fucking heart.
And they're glued together no less. Like WTF, real vehicles secure everything properly with threaded nuts and bolts.
You can't even get out of a Tesla on fire unless you know how to disassemble the door panel to access the emergency latch. WTF?
Also, vehicle weight scales are pretty damn accurate, even mandatory in certain industries. I'm pretty sure nobody estimated a damn thing, they literally weighed the vehicles.
meanwhile, my ev weighs 1340kg.
sush, only EVs are teslas. No other Ev's exist. Stop fighting the narrative.
Ow, sorry 🤐
Okay, not bad. For those that measure in giraffes, that's about 2955 lbs.
It would be nice to know what model EV you have for reference. I'm sure it ain't a Tesla..
Bmw i3s with 120ah battery. Really good car tbh.
I'm not even mad, I assume it's a good vehicle for you..
It is. Thank you 😊.
