[Tigers] The answer to a question that no one asked...

[GARY WINBLAD]

This same thing happened when horses became obsolete, some people just don't adapt
to modern technology.
Nothing wrong with electric cars except the price and fear that the power grid won't support
all of them.
Most of us Tiger guys won't live long enough (unfortunately) to worry about this one.
Most of my miles now is our Prius Prime running on solar panel charged electricity.  All
our local trips can be done with the 30 mile ranged but it gets 70MPG on trips, great
transportation device!

Oh, I like that sound device, I have been thinking of how I could build one myself.  The
Prius has the worst worn out brake pad sound of scraping, screeching sounder to warm blind
pedestrians.. where the heck did they come up with that, a V8 burble would be so much
better.

I did hear somewhere that “some” people are worried about deaf and/or blind folks not being able to hear an approaching EV. From experience, I can tell you that NO ONE even hears my F150. Many people step into traffic around here without even looking. We will probably replace my wife’s compact SUV with an EV in the near future. We already have a solar array designed to make up for the juice required and I plan to install a level 2 charger in the garage. We almost never travel far enough in that car to have to look for a charging station. As for us California guys, speaking for myself, I think I’ll be long gone before there is absolutely no petrol to be had. Somewhere down the line, it will probably get very expensive to buy (as if it is not bad already) but, I have to actually make a point of driving the Tiger and my big block Ford just to keep em running right. Car shows and Sunday drives are the norm.
