[QUOTE="PBramble, post: 3634302, member: 5778"] LOL. Electric bills. California is already saying to not charge cars over night due to power shortages. The real test will be when these electric truck owners realize that their range is greatly decreased by hills and even further reduced when you add any weight to it. There's gonna be a market for generators when everyone's vehicle runs out of steam pulling the boat to Eufaula only to get to Okemah with dead batteries. And then there's this gem: How much water does it take to put out a Tesla fire? "Normally a car fire you can put out with 500 to 1,000 gallons of water," Austin Fire Department Division Chief Thayer Smith said, per The Independent, "but Tesla's may take up to [B]30,000-40,000 gallons[/B] of water, maybe even more, to extinguish the battery pack once it starts burning and that was the case here."Aug 17, 2021 [/QUOTE]
