If this is a Camaro
only discussion why all the comments on side issues like mandates by law and electrical grid and overall mining or power supply pollution being brought up?
EV or at least hybrid isn't new. "Early adopter" doesn't apply for eg Tesla which started 20 years ago! Their roadster
in 2008 was an early product and wasn't great at all. I agree with hesitancy on early products especially by a new company. There are plenty of examples even GMs first EVs and their problems despite having the advantage of a Tesla and many chinese BYD to copy. A plug in hybrid might be an ideal solution for the masses and trucks.
I might note the irony of those who argue the loudest against changing the Camaro have not voted with their dollars to get a 2023 or 2024 Camaro. So you're saying privately they aren't worth buying. I have after some many years upgraded to 3 new cars in the last year. Sales decide, not opinions or loud forum comments. I wanted to stay with GM and get a 2024 Equinox EV and waited and waited and waited (they STILL aren't available until someday), and with Y dropped prices and rebate not gone away which could happen any day as those things change with the wind I had to go with a brand that has a track record in EVs but not as long as GM in longevity.
Mandates won't happen, none of US are for that anyways, preaching to the choir.
Pollution yes that's debatable if you do high pollution mining vs drilling and accidents and coal fired power vs hydro or nuclear power and the list goes on. I don't think any of us cares to dive deep into those debates on this forum and this thread on
ZL1 vs EV, which was the whole point of discussion. People who have longer experiences with both to compare. Tesla Y is the highest volume selling single car label in the world, Camaro is going out of production because of low volume sales.
Yes the market dictates. Does that say to you the Camaro needs to catch up and make some changes? helloooo
Do you have an oil well on your roof and a refinery in your attic to fill your tank in the garage as you sleep? I do, got the
big rebate on the EV and the solar panels I put on my roof a couple years ago after the technology greatly improved on them and price makes them worth it. Same issue; we aren't here to debate the
fairness of rebates. I paid for others to get them for so many years, I'll take it now since they are handing it out,
my turn and I should have no shame.
A few people don't want any changes or improvements to their lives or products. Fine but the
products will then be unsellable. If someone doesn't want to entertain how an EV might improve a sports car or fit into their lives fine, don't think about it or read an EV thread or news article.
