Is TESLA the new surfmobile? ERmag looks to find out...
- Thread starter casa_mugrienta
- Start date
Kevin lived in California and was a lifelong environmentalist. He was sick of the world; of Covid-19, Brexit, Russian belligerence, global warming, racial tensions, and the rest of the disturbing stories that occupy media headlines.
Kevin drove his car into his garage and then sealed every doorway and window as best he could. He got back into his car and wound down all the windows, selected his favorite radio station, started the car and revved it to a slow idle.
Four days later, a worried neighbor peered through his garage window and saw him in the car. She notified the emergency services and they broke in, pulling Kevin from the car.
A little sip of water and, surprisingly, he was in perfect condition, but his Tesla had a dead battery.
This is to be expected from a California (enter your opposing political party or sexual proclivities here).

They don't have their brights on, they just didn't aim the lights again correctly after lifting the truck.
My problem with Teslas - or any electric car - is that they cost more to charge at home at SoCal electricity prices than that Prius does to run on gas. When we build and subsidize enough infrastructure to make the tradeoff pencil out, then I'll consider one. As long as it has a manual key for surfing.
The normal lifted trucks are a minor inconvenience when they're just behind and alongside during overtaking. I'm talking about flood-lighting the car cabin, sides of the road lit up.....
was digging thru some old video and forgot about this.....we were on the beach in SE NC a couple years ago and there was a Tesla on the beach, driven by a couple of Tesla engineers. they let us poke around in it a little and we were wondering how they even got as far as they did and whether they would make it off. this is a beach with very deep sand and is notorious for people getting stuck (even in 4X4's). they were a little nervous as well (i believe they were mostly concerned about the embarrassment that might ensue if they got stuck)....but they just zipped right off, with no problems whatsoever. if the Tesla car can do that, imagine the truck will do it better.
Fisker Ocean seems more appropriate for us.
$37,500 and 300 miles. Looks sleek. Perfect name.

With no engine to get fouled with sand, are electric vehicles the perfect vehicles for the dunes? Although with no loud engine, people couldn't hear you coming so that would not be good.
Fascinating history actually involving all kinds of struggles.
Fisker Automotive founded in 2008. First model delivered in 2011, the Fisker Karma (pic below). Only about 2000 made due to bankruptcy of key supplier for batteries.
2008, Tesla filed lawsuit against Fisker and lost.
2009, Fisker received a US$528.7 million conditional loan in September 2009 from the Department of Energy's US$25 billion Advanced Technologies Vehicle Manufacturing Loan Program (ATVM).
2012, Hurricane Sandy flooded and destroyed its entire European shipment of 338 Karmas at Port Newark, New Jersey
2014, Karma vehicle design, tooling and a manufacturing facility in Delaware were purchased by Chinese auto parts conglomerate. Founder kept trademark and logo brand for 'Fisker', and launched new company called Fisker Inc.
I think you misunderstood the timeline of events. They only sold the KARMA to the chinese. The new OCEAN is being produced by Fisker Inc. which is based in Manhattan Beach, CA.
She’s dressed like someone from nyc who‘s trying (and failing) to look like a Californian.

It is worth noting the author is hip (she will teach you "how to dress like a Californian" )
and woke (white privileged ally) .
I don't know any California girls that dress like that. And her outfit total is over $900. Go back your 'bu.
