Cuba is struggling with devastating nationwide blackouts as the United States’ effective oil blockade strangles fuel supplies. But this crisis may also be accelerating a China-backed clean energy revolution that’s been quietly unfolding in the Caribbean nation.
Go test drive one and you’ll understand. Seriously.
Cars are pretty much the same, EVs are a different animal. No shifting, instant torque, full torque at all speeds. A Tesla SUV can out-accelerate many gas-driven sports cars. You put the hammer down on the highway and you’ve got instant 1st-gear-level acceleration.
Most people just want a reliable safe car, not a high-performance penis extension.
Teslas are some of the safest cars on the road. And guys who want penis extensions buy big noisy trucks not silent electric cars.
Or you could have both. According to all the testing agencies, modern teslas are among the safest most reliable cars.
And it’s not just the huge amounts of instant torque that can be a blast, but the noise, or lack of! The silence even under hard acceleration just makes it seem effortless. I also used to feel a thrill with the noise of a powerful gas engine but that feels like an awful lot of effort just to not accelerate well. I seriously feel Ike it’s similar to a stream engine train: “full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing”
It doesn’t matter. I’m NEVER buying a car from that psychopath, at least not until he’s been imprisoned, and his companies nationalized (we paid for them, after all, they’re ours), and most of the profits gone to the workers who built it, and the remainder to a government account to fund social safety nets.
That’s fair- I encourage you to always vote with your wallet. I don’t think your analysis of the situation is factually correct and I’d encourage you to do your own independent research on each of your assertions. But you should always back your convictions up with action.
