2025 EV Tacoma thread.

hummm…My sarcasm seems to have backfired. It was beyond imagination that people still believe cell phones cause tumors. 10/10 on the meta analysis find. No consideration of correlation vs causation in that “meta study “. Statistics sure can be fun tho. I mean a meta study may find when the rooster crows the sun rises , thus the rooster makes the sun rise .

if you think the less than 1Watt of low energy radio waves coming off the cell phone are bad , I recommend avoiding the sun just to play it safe.

 

It’s a valid peer reviewed study to consider even if it goes against your sarcasm. But you do you.

 

Is this imaginary world after the entire power grid has been redone and all trucks, trains, heavy machinery, and ships converted from gas/diesel?

 

Not that I'm saying there will ever be a worldwide ban on ICE vehicles, but why would you assume that any ICE ban would have to coincide with diesel trains and ships being removed from service? Respectfully, that just doesn't make any sense.

 

Where are people going to charge their TevRD Tacoma's?

There are a lot of Tacomas on the road.

 

Home, public charging stations, work, businesses that offer charging, portable charging companies. Do you think they built all these petrol stations in one year?

 

I saw some Teslas charging the other day at WaWa. I doubt if they hung out at WaWa while charging their vehicle. Where do they go? Do they Uber back to where their vehicle is charging?

 

If they are superchangers they are probably hanging out in their cars checking out Tesla World for the 10-15 minutes they are there would be my guess.

The point that I keep seeing made is that they will be stopping the refining of fuel to force people to abandon ICE vehicles due to high cost or no fuel. They cannot make them illegal. The poorest would be the first to suffer as they can't just go buy new. Messing with fuel production clearly creates supply issues, so there would be no other alternative.

 

Actually saw a rivian down in the eastern Sierra this past weekend. They are super small in person. Not sure how good they will be for overlanding / camping. Dudes cooler took up a ton of space in the bed.

 

Wait… did said guy have an electric cooler? Or was it conventional an iced down like a caveman?

 

Don't forget that they can stow more junk in the frunk.

 

Please post the source for these facts. I’ve never heard of that.

 

WaWa as in Wawa, Ontario Canada?

 

EV Charger stations are popping up at many businesses and office locations. Can't say the same for Petrol stations.

 

They are a little larger than a Tacoma and plenty of people "overland" in Tacomas. The bed has a very slight (2 cubic foot) advantage over a Tacoma short bed but the rest of the truck has way more storage options.

 

Don’t know if it’s the same or not but there’s a gas station chain in Jersey called Wawa

 

Yep, NJ, PA, DE, Northeast states and some in the south.

 

Ha no Wawa ON is a town.

So is Wawa PA, where the convenience store Wawa is named after
