Just what the world needs - an overly expensive, foreign rare metals/minerals mining environmental disaster, fossil fueled EV, for the elite.

Pocket change, might get a couple. It will have to be 1000% better quality then the rest of their junk is. We test drove a new Blazer, road like a wagon and rattled everywhere, $53000, NO

Well, it still just looks like a car.

It's based on the Ultium platform, the same thing the new electric Hummer uses.

This guy gets it. Let’s save the environment by employing child slave labor in foreign countries, to mine a rare earth metal!

And then because we can’t recycle it, we’ll just dump it in a cave somewhere !
:rofl:

This is an excellent TED talk on the fallacy that electric cars are zero emission. When you take into consideration the carbon impact of the initial manufacturing plus the difference in energy required for travelled range, then of the three choices you see that a hybrid is the most efficient.

The truth of electric cars vs gas vs hybrid

Coal and oil built this country to the number one status in the world. Or You could also be still kissing the King of England’s butt.

I don't think there was much of an oil industry when the USA gained independence from England. :)

Stuck in the past, just North of Montana....
Reality. Coal and gas will produce the electricity for the fools who are swallowing and buy into this bullshit. Solar and wind will never do it. Unless of course you live in a 15 minute city and all the cities around the world are converted as well. You will need all that space for panels and turbines.........Oh where oh where will we grow food?

Propaganda is amazing. It has educated so many.

Sorry you missed the point, The British Empire was number one until WW II. Oil and coal did make us #1 but if you hate the US turn off the electricity and whatever you heat with, sit in the dark with not even a OIL lamp for light, dip water from a well you dug, eat raw whatever (no fires) no internet (no electricity) no ‘modern’ conveniences. Let us know in a month or two how that works.

If you hate the US, you must eat raw food? I guess I missed whatever point you were making here as well.
