Drivers Are Abandoning EVs. The Reasons Make Complete Sense.
Hello; A few new to me points made in this story. I was not aware of insurance costs creeping up on EV's. Since my ICE insurance went up slightly, I wonder if this is part of a general trend or are EV's going up more?
The EV reliability and costs more to maintain points are new to me. I suspected such but did not know.

More Scientists Now Doubt Climate Alarmism Claims
Hello; Some may note as to how folks (scientists included) seem a bit freer to publish findings which question tenants of the climate change agenda. Of course such is the way things like science ought to be. Differing opinions ought not to be suppressed.

California’s gas-car ban fight with the EPA just roared back
Hello; Not sure where to post the above link so decided on this old thread. Not exactly on topic but related. I imagine most of us breathed a sigh of relief when the EPA changed hands about a year & 1/2 half ago. Some of the more onerous existing & pending rules were reversed or in some way negated.
My hope since then is manufacturers will be able to tune transmissions & engines for durability rather than ultimate MPG's and low emissions. There is a school of thought such tuning is behind the problems with the ten-speed auto trans. Let the companies build less troublesome transmission the way they know how to do.
To some degree similar for the engines. maybe have sensible oil weight recommendations and more. But the point of the link is the anti ICE factions have not given up. for sure in Cal.
I got in a habit of listening to C-Span's Washington Journal for some years. While most of the crazy rants are about the political scene, there are some rants about global warming and related rants about ICE.

I had the 7.3 in my F250. Was a phenomenal motor. However, the 10 speed was so bad pulling 10k that I had to go back to a diesel. Letting the truck decide the gear in rolling hills, it would drop to 50 mph (cruise set at 70), before shifting into 5th.
If I controlled the throttle, it would either bog down like cruise did, or rev to the moon.
10 speeds is too many speeds. The germans stopped at 8, we should have too.
