End of Toyota Reliability???

Let us know how your battery is doing after 150k miles; that is, if you’re willing to have a car more than 5 years like us peasants…

 

Canada , the EU and a bunch of the rest of the world have already mandated no new ICE vehicles after 2030 , and I believe California has as well , its already happening bro , you better buy 2 or 3 trucks now while you can

 

Trust me, there will be MANY ICE vehicles far after 2030 passes. 2030 is much too soon.

And thank God I don’t live in California

 

Very unlikely that will happen with me but you can find plenty of examples of long term EV owners elsewhere. As for peasant, even when I was well within the lower class income bracket I still swapped vehicles around every year or so. I worked hard to make more money and continue to work hard to afford the things I want as an average middle class earner.

 

sounds to me like you ain’t married.

 

current engine formula is a 1.6L V6 turbo hybrid making 1000bhp . Its the most thermally efficient ICE engine out there right now , 50% IIRC

currently the hybrid generates electrical energy in 2 ways , kinetically with brake retardation and also uses the turbo waste gasses

2026 they up the hybrid electric portion and switch to 100% sustainable fuel but drop the MGU-H which is the turbo heat recovery portion of the hybrid system

 

yeah I know , I already said that about 400 times , they're not coming for your ICE vehicles , they just won't be selling new ones

 

nothing surprises me In California these days. Their comrade Gavin Newsome is

 

Not anymore, played the married game for a long time but still was frequently changing vehicles.

 

hey I'll give you a freebie , don't mention politicians by name here

 

gotcha.

 

Oh and I have to correct myself , the California CARB ICE sales ban is 2035 not 2030

 

and I have wood heat in my house , while we're all coming clean

 

still too soon IMO. EVs may work for city folks when commuting short distances with readily available charging stations. Different story for us country folks.

 

Interesting, seems very complex.

 

I rest my case. I would say something more but I’ll keep my flapper shut. You have a good night.

 

yeah , they're dropping the MGU-H because its really complex and F1 hopes to lure some more manufacturers to the sport , Audi has already signed up , Honda likely to return and Andretti motorsport is trying to add a new team with GM / Cadillac

 

They aren’t just short distance machines though. You could commute 100 miles each way to work everyday and charge at home without difficulty.

 

Dude, go to bed already. Have church in the morning. Y’all all have a good night

 

I drive 2 hours up into the mountains to snowboard every week and the parking lot has plenty of EVs. They're not all lined up at the charging stations either. They drive up in the morning and drive home in the afternoon..
