    Hope that's not in California.
    Soon that generator might be illegal.

    You're in luck, it doesn't look like a California plate.

    They drive on the opposite side of the road in India, it being a former British colony.

    If you've ever been to India you'd know they drive wherever the hell they want as long as the horn is used, which is pretty much nonstop.

    I would like to know why they thought it was a better idea to use a generator, which would take an hour to add just a few miles in range, and would probably require some sort of special adapter to work, rather than just call a tow truck.

    Probably a fake photo anyway, intentionally edited to troll the EV haters.

    Most of us are not EV haters. We just don't think it's end all solution, and for many of us won't fit our lifestyle. If it works for you ...go for it!!

    Just because something doesn’t fit your narrative, that doesn’t mean it’s automatically photoshopped, fake news, or trolling. Like it or not, the vast majority of people/places are not ready for EV mass consumption - they (EVs) are still in the novelty stage.

    How about this - is it photoshopped too??

    I like Tesla's since they look and perform nicely. Not a fan of the rest.

    EV's are nice but there's many problems that have to be addressed to make them mainstream. And to call them "green" energy is a misnomer since the majority of recharging power just comes from the grid which most markets are predominately fossil fuels.

    Greta is a real hero. Why all the animosity towards her? She tells it like it is.

    I just asked a simple question. It looked like her and I thought maybe someone could confirm whether or not it was just similarities and not the actual climate activist herself.

    Keeping in mind I own one of the vehicles being discussed in this thread and still don’t feel the need to cram my *opinions* down everyone else’s throats. 🤷‍♂️

    I, however, do feel the need to cram my *opinions* down everyone else’s throats.
    In fact, because of my superior power of mental percolation, I'm legally required to do so.
    ....pretty sure about that, I'll double check on it.

    As for Ms. Thunberg I'll keep my opinion to myself.
    On a sidenote, I hear that they're doing wonderful work in the field of autism lately. !

    To me, as others I'm sure as well, is the fact of "it's your money, buy what you want, DO NOT, however, tell me what to buy, period". For now, anyway, we still have the freedom to choose. The whole climate issue is a different topic, however intertwined with this it is...
