I have never seen an electric car on fire. Seen plenty of gasoline cars on fire, though.


Wait until the number of EVs gets close to gas cars then we'll talk.

Jerry;

Iā€™m not sure where you got the information, but some of the numbers are suspect. I drive a Tesla Model 3 which I can charge for about $15CDN. This gives me about 300 km of range. If I were to drive a gasoline powered vehicle, assuming a fuel economy rating of 9 L per hundred kilometers, it would cost me about $36 to drive that far using gasoline costing $1.35CDN per liter. This would be approximately $3.75US per gallon.


And driving around with a lithium battery the size of a mattress doesn't worry you? If the EMF emitted from the battery your sitting on doesn't bother you then the fear of a collision should.

That's funny. There's so much negativity about EV's and yet more fires are created from Hybrid cars. The next one is regular gas cars and followed by EVs which is way at the bottom.

I currently own a used Tesla Model S since 2017 and the only reason I bought it was the free supercharging. I was able to travel to a lot of places for free and it was very enjoyable and worry free. Yes, the charging part was a downer but I took it as a time to rest and stretch out and enjoy the scenery. As for EV fires, well, they happen but not as often as a gas car or a hybrid.

And since Tesla made the offer, I'm getting my free supercharging t***sferred from my old Model S to a new Model X. Say what you will but look at the reasons why EVs are getting such a bad press. It's because people don't like change. They want everything to stay the same. So go ahead and enjoy sitting in line waiting to fill up your gas tank at the local Costco filling station. All I do is unplug the my Tesla from home and enjoy my time walking around Costco and eating up all the free samples.

I love it when I tell people that I haven't been to a gas station in 7 years!!!

A gasoline powered car will not burst into flame by itself or when filling the tank.

I get one spam call a day from Nikki Haley. Luckily my T-Mobile spam app deals with it. BTW political ads are exempt from the "Do Not Call" list.

Look at Thinkware. I have a dual camera setup. They have good ratings and have been around a while. Better dashcams use a capacitor instead of a battery.

Just don't buy anything directly from China. It's not a guarantee against fraud, but it's a major step.

I have State Farm for over 30 years with no complaints. They're rates were the lowest when I signed up. I made a claim about 10 years ago. They made a generous settlement and called the next week to offer more money if I needed it. Right now I'm very happy with them.

I take my Nikon camera and cell phone everywhere. I often run into what I think might be a good shot. I always ask permision to take someone's picture.
Here is what I am now dealing with: Recenty two older women ( ages 81 ans 92) asked me to take their photos for a project they were doing. I replied "Sure", They came to my home where i have some plain background set ups.
The shoot went well. They wanted themselves in a very close up pose cheek to cheek.
One of them came with me to get it printed. She was very happy with way it prints came out. She framed it herself and put it on display at our City Hall Art Gallery. The other lady is now very angry with me for making her look old.
She is 92 and does have some lines on her face. Now she is ending our friendship,
I did tell these women that I do not do much photo shop stuff except cropping. The 81 year old is OK with the photo.
What can I do ?
we know most people are NOT satisfied with the way they look in photos.

I would explain how aging works as far as wrinkles go.

I wonder if this is just a local thing or if it is becoming a trend. Many local drivers have their high beams - usually LEDs - on day and night. It seems to be mostly pickup trucks, which are higher than cars, so they're lights are at eye level for oncoming drivers. The idea behind DRLs was to make cars more noticeable in the daytime. GM had the high beams turn on at 50% power. Honda still seems to do that. Headlights have turned from a safety feature to a hazard. I guess that's what you call ironic.

One of the problems with DRLs and LED bulbs is that they operate at full luminance with only 8 volts. This causes DRLs to be "full on" in high beam mode. If you cannot shut off the DRL feature, LED bulbs are not for you.
