Fusilier On Hold???

[Zimm]

I hope they do a redesign so the Fus doesnt look like it was penned as the next Stelantis econojeep compass.

Thomas Friedman was warning the US about Chinas dedication and eventual dominance in electric vehicles a decade ago. Our response was to elect a real estate grifter that would sell the Whitehouse to Oil.

China has already won the game. It's been called. Americans are just to worried about who is pissing in what toilet to know it.

As opposed to the community activist we had for 8 years and his career politician VP, whose only skills are lying and falling going up stairs, that sold us out to China that continued the last 4 years…

Without a massive and sustained whole of government approach to support the EV industry in the USA the game is well and truly over. Masters of I.C.E. you will be (I mean internal combustion engine, not that other one).

Given the threads on extended fuel tanks, gerry can carriers and the likes to extend our range, how exactly do the folks here think EVs would be a viable solution?

And since Friedman warned us "a decade ago", that was before the real estate mogul switched political parties, but hey, it sounded good.

Personally not a chance.

Interestingly, one of my neighbours has a new Defender. If the family go on long trips he takes his wife's EV as it is much cheaper. Seems almost counter intuitive.

For general and day-to-day use, OK. But for planned and unplanned extended travel, NFW.

My brother is on the EV kick (works for an auto manufacturer and drank the koolaid). When they can get to the point that a full recharge can be done in the time it takes to fill a tank, then maybe I'd consider it. The only time is about the journey and not the destination is when I'm on my motorcycle or overlanding. I don't want to have to plan my routes around charging stations.

Unfortunately the Mrs. thinks it's cute. But then she does still love her 25 year old TJ so ...

Its been suggested before but if Ineos built a rugged little electric Jimny/Wrangler/OD90 equivalent I would be tempted. Maybe offer two different battery packages like a short range with a higher payload for farm use and a bigger battery travel version with all the amenities.

As great as a grifter he is he is even better at getting free rent in the head of you dolts.
