EVs aren't for everyone, but if it meets your daily needs, it is great. The techs are great, too. AP is useful in Atlanta hwy traffics, think of it the better version of Adaptive Cruise Control. Our 2nd MYLR has FSD so it's used more for state to state travels.

Just dont get trapped in a carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide gass cloud that concentrates in an area like a cave when it naturally is coming up over time from deep umdeeground or for example your garage with the engine running and the door closed. Carbon dioxide or monoxide you cant smell you vant tell you feel funny then youre unconcious from oxygen loss and die but as long as that doesnt happen carbon dioxode is not that bad.

    It seems that so many things are built to the absolute minimum estimated stresses and loads. If wind turbines were built with components such as bearings were larger and stronger, the turbines would last longer, but no, they are built to a price point and no one will admit that. It reminds me of how transmissions are built now. Everything is engineered to the lightest and lowest cost possible, so they are usually the weakest part of a car.

    The problem with nuclear power is that the fuel for them is also not available in unlimited amounts. The more nuclear power plants we build, the faster we'll use the fuel for them and we'll be looking at renewable power sources again like wind, solar and hydro. Meanwhile, there are areas of the country where they are pushing to remove hydro-power dams. The answer is using a combination of all sources and looking for more. Conservation is also a very viable option.
