True true. Toyota should have demolished the factory with GM supplying the charges.

After reading all 150 posts again and removing out all the posts from people who posted repeatedly over and over I am not seeing much "hate" at all for EV's.
Plenty of people dislike them for various reasons but "hate" doesn't look to be the majority IMO, ya'll be the judge.

Add- seems avaiability of EV's people like and can afford seems to be a big issue, I can relate to that.

He may have a point. If you remove all the repeated political grandstanding, all the hate is gone

Yeah if you remove the hate, there's no hate lol

What people hate is political, its not the product itself at all.

That's why I've stayed out of Politics most of my life, I don't let it ruin my happiness or rule my emotions. I don't blame any of my shortcomings on it, if I do have any, that's on me. But my biggest surprise is that this thread is still open for business LOL

I miss the debate forums, but I get it. However I didn't agree with them being shut down, but at the same time I'm sure it drove mods crazy.

The problem with that type of forum is people can get very personal. Even if 99 percent of participants remain civil, all it takes is one person (on either side of the spectrum) throwing a virtual fireball to derail the whole thread. I don't mind a good political debate, but when it gets personal and everyone is shouting over each other, than it defeats the whole purpose
