No, you misunderstand. You are coming up to the lights and you see that it will change to amber/red in 5 seconds. A fast instant accelerating EV can get you safely past within those 5 seconds, thus saving you minutes, waiting for the lights to change again.

I find having factory installed software to locate the vehicle an excellent feature of my EV. I’m able to see where my car is at, anytime I want. No need to call up the driver as to where they are. I also have zero concern that the CPC wants to know where my car is at any given point in time. Or that they know I listen to 80’s music while driving. As for OTA software, such a great convenience, not having to bring the car into the workshop for major/minor improvements. I also need a phone signal to refuel my ICEV, to scan pay the exorbitant amounts they charge. As for minor repairs that can be easily done by any mechanic with just a few tools, I like that EVs don’t need minor repairs. Very few moving parts and all that… And to answer your concerns about the spyware aspect, I have zero concern.

Fair point. But tell us why they aren’t for you? Range anxiety? Chinese made? No electricity where you live? Knowing why would contribute to a more meaningful and interesting discussion.

Not sure where you live but could be Bkk or Pattaya by the sounds of it but here in CM, there is hardly any traffic congestion outside of the old town. Most of the roads are rather free flowing. The big issue are the traffic lights, they take a long time to change. This is where the instant acceleration of EVs come into their own. It allows you to be quicker by a couple of seconds which then saves 3-5 minutes otherwise spent sitting at the traffic lights. Not sure how long you have been driving but any good and experienced driver will tell you that it’s always better to have good acceleration when you need it rather than top end speeds which can be nice in Germany but only on some Autobahns.

I don’t know what the adverts told me as I don’t watch adverts (I have a YT premium membership). What I do know is that dollar for dollar, my EV is a far superior vehicle to any ICEVs I have previously owned. I also know that not everyone is in favour of EVs and that there are certain downsides. Every EV owner acknowledges that. What is sad is that there are some who are so blinkered that they won’t accept an EV is a good choice for some. Their only argument is that EVs are rubbish without being able to say why. Just from what they read, if you know what I mean…

From what I read so far… Therein lies the problem. You come on here knowing only what you’ve read and tries to debate with actual owners who have first hand experience of owning and driving both EVs and ICEVs. Your 20 year old car may not be a pile of rubbish to you but… compared to a modern EV… it is, sadly.

Good for you. Good also that you have the time to post in a forum that you have no interest in. Or is that sad?

As usual, apart from making things up, you have no idea what you’re talking about. ASEAN is a bigger trading partner to China than the U.S. There won’t be any winners in such a trade war but one side will end up the bigger loser. Only the really dumb will think that is China.

Looks like Trump issued XJP’s posterior in order to get a meeting with some Chinese officials. A deal will be had eventually, but not before Bessent is publicly humiliated for his nonsensical and ludicrous statements.

How stupid (or desperate) does one need to be, to knowingly take poison or to experiment with it? However, from the videos I’ve seen, they don’t look like kids who don’t know better. They are adults…

Really? What other countries have this problem?

Well we know the Venezuelan Govt is sending in their gang terrorist insurgents!You wouldn’t know this because the legacy media trys to misrepresent the truth by using rogue intel sources. I’m confused. Do we know or don’t we know but you know? The CCP sending in Fentanyl to the western Hemisphere Why are so many Americans addicted to fentanyl yet this problem doesn’t seem to exist in other countries?

American lives won’t need defending if America don’t poke their noses where it’s not wanted.

Lol. And that’s why Trump has removed the tariffs for about 40% of its imports from China and talking about lowering tariffs for the rest. Look around your own house and see where the stuff you have are made. Boy, are some people dumb.

So much winning reversing. We are winning reversing on the tariffs and trade deals. We are winning reversing on visa issues. So much winning reversing…

And Trump is hoping the rest of the world will buy American cars lol. What a joke.

You sound like one of those enemies of humanity. You talk of China’s intolerance but your post is a classic example of intolerance. Despicable…

Not all Americans but a lot of the uneducated (and even some educated) politicians are and certainly the deep state.

Considering that there are more Uyghurs today than when Xi took over, it seems like he’s not doing a good job. Just saying…

I’m wondering if the main Trump supporter on this thread (and a few others) is actually nothing more than a troll/shill or whatever the latest term is, making ridiculous claims just to get a response? After all, it’s inconceivable to me that someone that can read and write could defend the orange man’s actions when even the average American (hillbillies included) is starting to see through his empty promises.

I know that you mean Trump but I think the same can well apply to Cameroni. Both he and Trump obviously lives in the same alternate universe to the rest of us.

The IMF has forecasted that China will only lose 0.6% of previously forecasted 4.8% of GDP while US is forecasted to have a drop of 0.9% of 2.8%. I’m no mathematician but these figures seem to indicate that although both sides loses, America is going to lose much more than China. China is not going to initiate any negotiations until America has truly tasted its own medicine and come to the table, hat in hand. What Cameroni especially, does not realise, is that China will not easily forgive the American insults and malicious intents it has against China. This is a tremendous opportunity for China to cement its position in the world and bring America down a few notches, ably assisted by that moron in the WH. His arrogance and hubris is offensive to Chinese culture and he will be made to eat his own words. How the world will rejoice… lol

I would say that it’s America that’s stuck in the past, thinking that they are powerful enough to do anything they want unilaterally. Not sure which MSM sources you follow but the heads of state including the King of Cambodia personally welcomed Xi as he stepped off his plane. This shows to me that Vi’s hold over ASEAN countries is growing ever stronger. The world is splitting into USA vs ROW and current indications are that the USA has been losing every round.

👍 How does it feel to be told by your own side that it’s your brain that’s one sided… 🤔 😂 Shame that you were so easily baited…

I’m not going to bother debating with him anymore, partly because of this Gish gallop technique (never heard of it before, thanks) and partly because he’s just putting things out there as facts when they are most likely a figment of his imagination. He’s convinced the whole world will succumb to Trumps’ demands. Lets see, time will tell, although every indication at the moment points to the contrary.
