    You are ignoring the reason why we aren't mining, our laws limiting what we can and can't do to our environment not to mention health and safety. Are you aware that graphite mining is as hazardous as coal mining? Think of the poor people who will be putting their health at risk so that the upper...

    Beg to differ but production is usually the bottle neck to supply so they are basically one and the same. Another mineral used in lithium ion batteries is graphite. Up to 30 times more than lithium content and the US has zero production. Guess who does, China is a major exporter of graphite...

    Sorry but I believe you are wrong again North America has only one lithium mine while we have a vast supply of oil. But really we are lucky not to have those mines in our backyard. Lithium is extracted from brine that is evaporated leaving behind many hazardous byproducts. As it stands much of...

    Everything is finite. Are you saying rare earth metals aren't finite? And water supplies once they're gone they ain't coming back. Is it easier knowing it isn't in your back yard?

    Petroleum has a diverse supply though only 3 producers with China dominating control more than 80% of the world's supply of “energy transition minerals,” or ETMs which could increase our risk of conflict should China ever try to leverage us over Taiwan or other territorial conflicts. You brought...

    Yours is an absolute non answer and a sophomoric attempt at debating. I asked you not to waste my time and you couldn't resist. Have fun, evidently that is your intent as you have evaded every attempt to discuss feasibility of a new technology that is supposed to save the planet and end all wars.

    Why is it that none of you proponents care to respond to the subject presented. It's as if you have an agenda and anything that doesn't support that agenda must be avoided. Why else would you try to redirect attention to my concern about the environment, is it your intention to imply that since...

    You probably won't like this either, it doesn't meet your standard of confirmation bias. "The IEA stipulates up front one underlying fact that advocates of a transition never mention: Green-energy machines use far more critical minerals than conventional-energy machines do. “A typical electric...

    2021 Tahoe RST Abismal mileage

    Having owned 2 other very similar models and assuming driving habits haven't changed it sure sounds like something is off . Hoping you get it resolved and let us know what was found. I will bet that it will be a problem as it can be blamed on the owner and will be almost impossible to get...

    Thanks and BTW I agree that GM's tracking should be better. I suppose we could blame that on the covid also. haha Also enjoy the heck out of your new vehicle. There's nothing like a fresh new ride.

    And rather than comment on any of the points delivered you can only voice your overall dissatisfaction with the tone of the author.

    I'll wait another year, after all, I've waited two to see the new design and I'm not thrilled. I started a little savings account and invested it, it's still growing by leaps and bounds and I figure by next year it will be time to cash out before the next crash. I'll drive away in my new car but...

    It's all opinion and when you just hop from claim to claim nothing gets hashed out. But perhaps that is just the inherent nature of forums. For instance your claim that somehow adopting EVs will reduce war. What?

    Back to the war thing after evading it, oy. You keep making statements then avoiding direct responses to those statements. The modern highway system was a boon to industry and our quality of life. It was from an era when government was more sensitive to the actual needs of the taxpayer. It...

    If only government would step back and let market forces lead that change and not promote a technology that is still developing. If instead they proceed with making car makers go all electric by 2030 those gassers will be a coveted commodity.

    A 2016 study argued that oil wars were largely a myth. But if they exist and are endless as you claim where are they? For extra credit look up the meaning of pragmatic. As to the price of gas, it does matter but not as you claim. It matters that the price of gas is too low so regulations and...

    Is this what you call unemotional and pragmatic or do you actually believe that driving an EV will change our geopolitical stance?

    Not as cool as this. It seems the internal combustion engive won't go away without a little coaxing. They can't sell an EV without incentives plus artificially raising the cost of ICE vehicles. "The actions the administration plans to take on the side of raising the price for internal...

    Tell me how do I get a tax credit on a gasser? Are you saying the electric industry doesn't get subsidies? EVs are the boondoggle of the century. They're the dog that won't hunt. I did see one at the Audi dealership tethered to the charger by its umbilical cord. Haha, what a joke.

    Did GM stop taking orders for 2021 Yukons?

    I know a guy. Find a GM town whose dealership depends heavily on employee's sales. It's really simple if you try. They were, don't know about now I'm not in the market, listing internet prices for vehicles in transit. When I buy I'll get the employee discount and a rebate or I'll buy a...
