    I guess I did.

      It is the engine temp, and red is overheating which damages the engine.

      So if you knew that you could have made a joke about one fewer climate destroying engine. Know your enemy!

        I did not know that. I don’t think I’ve ever owned a car that had that or I never noticed it.

  Hey buddy, I’ll gladly swap to electric if you’re willing to foot the bill!

    It’s the part about being happy about it that I don’t like. I drive a hybrid, but that’s about saving money more than anything. I’m not happy to see the tank at full. It just reminds me of my contribution to making things worse.

      Aww man you’re falling for their bullshit 😞

      The biggest impetus to change isn’t your personal consumer habits. It’s industry. And they want you to feel like YOU aren’t doing enough while they do jack shit except fuck over the rest of us every day so they can jerk each other off with their quarterly earnings reports.

      (I’m not saying we should all be rolling coal, that’s stupid and gross and childish. Just that we shouldn’t internalize anxiety about ‘doing enough’)

        to me it’s funny all theese climate protectors beleave the proaganda of oil companies the normal human ilhas all the fault not the companies. pssst we should start at the companies then go to the everyday human. and on the topic of ev’s i would rather drive a hydrogen car swap out the tank of your combustion car and all that comes from your exhaust is water without having to produce millions of new cars and without having the drawbacks ev’s have

        Not my fault 🤦‍♂️

        An entire generation that’s fully educated on the matter and still punting it down the road. Classic.

      Let’s all live in shame because we can afford electric. I hate to tell you the huge amount of emissions that go into producing the electric cars in the factories too. Also the new renewable resources that go into them.

        Again, it’s about being happy about it. You don’t have to live in shame. There are other options.

        $300/year to drive 10,000 miles per year feels pretty good though. Also, zero emission at the tailpipe.

        Everyone will be driving ev within 10 years.

      I mean, having to worry about getting around all month on a mostly empty tank, side-eyeing the gauge at every traffic light at the commute to work isn’t that great.

      I know a few people that had a hard time paying for gas to even get to work and when they managed to fill the tank they felt relieved, so I can understand where those people come from.

      I personally am glad I can work from home, just saves so much gas. Fill it up, use it for 1-2 months to buy groceries, visit people, drive to the few work appointments that don’t work over Teams.

        You still realize that electricity isn’t free and in many places is close to the cost of gas, especially at super chargers?

      I drive a plug-in hybrid and a full tank means I accidentally overfilled since it’s just going to sit in the tank for months at a time.

        It doesn’t go bad so fast though.

        As a rule of thumb: gas is good 2-3 months in a car tank, before it’s ability to properly combust deteriorates. It wont go bad immediately, but it’s power yield worsens over time, so does your car’s mpg, because it needs more gas to compensate.

        Just don’t let it sit there like half a year

    Hopeful they’ll get cheaper quickly

    • zurohki@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      They are, but not quickly enough.

      Ten years ago we got the Nissan Leaf, and now you can buy cars with 2x the range for almost half the price.

        It’s the technology curve. We’re now at the iPhone 3GS stage. The iPhone 4 of EVs is just around the corner. It will only get better (not cheaper) from here.

      Chevy bolt is $26k out the door

      source

      • EatMyDick@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

        27.5k And you’ll get less car for it. It’s small, and bumping it up to 2lt puts it over 30k. Every EV it’s still more expensive, even with credits most of the time, then it’s equivalent ICE competition.
