old habits die slowly.. the sound and smell of a petrol engine.. like an old cuban cigar (well maybe not)
I am just touting the benefits & power and simplicity of that electric engine but
I could care less that electricity is used instead of petrol
if it were true that the electricity that powered Teslas came from clean sources like solar/wind/wave then I'd be all for it
but.. no.. most of it comes from oil/gas/coal
so we are simply converting fossil fuels into electricity where the conversion is inefficient and wasteful
then allowing alot of it to waste in electrical resistance thru long dist ance transport wires
hardly clean.. mostly wasteful.. but the oil/gas conglomerates love that.. and the fckin Saudis
