Featured Another Spike in fuel efficient vehicles

I already did on the local runabout, but replacing the hycam for our annual Florida trip isn't likely, unless it's with a phev.
still, depending on ones circumstances, it could be more costly to switch than to hold.
but I would love to see a huge jump in ev sales, talk about a silver lining!

 

It's funny how so many people with big gas-guzzling SUVs, pickups and sports cars start complaining about fuel prices every time they go up. People seem to not think about how things can change.

So far, it's not really affecting me that much at over 40 mpg. If I could get better fuel mileage, that would be nice, but I don't see any cars that get that much better fuel mileage to the point to justify a car payment.

 

I'm seeing more and more EVs on the roads around here, even the more expensive ones. I drive past the Tesla staging area just about every day and watch it emptying out faster than it has before. One thing I'm not seeing is people slowing down on the highways. I guess they're getting used used to the gas prices again.

 

This is why Tesla is valued so big. It's not just dominating EV sales but taking over the future "gas stations" energy pie and now humanoid robots into the service sector. No car maker like Toyota would ever consider building gas stations for EV because it's not in their business model. But that keeps them in their box. Both Toyota and Honda has dabbled with humanoid robots but never did anything further toward mass production. You can like Elon or hate him, but he is pushing us into the 21st century whether we like it or not. He is creating the building block for the Matrix with rods inserted in our brains with Neuralink.

 

I'm afraid the future of humanity will be depicted as shown on Wall-E. Lots of fat people who has lost motivation in life except to consume and entertain.

 

what we need is robot farmers
