It's nice to know that Toyota still kind of have their senses about them and won't make the new Celica and new MR2's hybrids or electrics . I know a lot of people are going to be happy that the Celica is returning !!!!!

Who wants to pay $100,000 for any pickup truck much less a stupid electric pick up I guarantee you I never will I'll probably cap it at about $10,000 ole '97 Ford F-150 still that's probably still get another 25 or 30 years left in it ... Trump was talking today about how the infrastructure wasn't beefy enough to handle going all electric with the vehicles not only is there not enough electric to go around all the major long span Bridges would have to be reinforced or rebuilt to handle the extra weight

Is that per liter or per gallon? Incidentally, Ecuador and Colombia are the two most beautiful countries in the world. We have friends and relatives in both places. Political situation is touch and go sometimes, but the people, the climate and the landscapes are unmatchable.

What about salaries? Do you earn as much money to afford it and don’t affect your family necessities. I’m telling you cause my mom is Mexican, their gas prices is over USA ones and people struggle to fill up their cars, they don’t earn enough.

To charge a battery in 15 minutes you still need a ginormous amout of electricity input -- where is that going to come from? A nuke behind each charging station? EVs versus the laws of physics and economics -- physics and economics win in the end every time.

Exactly! It reminds me of the situation in 2020 or 2021? When Texas had those BAD storms and a lot of people didn't have power, and as a result people couldn't charge their EV's. It really showed the weakness and massive flaws in EV's.
