Car Mechanics Speak Out

Car mechanics are leaving the industry. Cars are now too complicated, they're also junk, and the manufacturers don't want to pay a fair rate for repairs.

New Age of Crap Cars

Automobiles these days are more expensive and unreliable. Who will go back to making a simple car?

Stellantis Layoffs

I wonder how much the EV nonsense had to do with the world's fourth largest car maker laying off staff?

EV's lock you up

In the embedded video, the woman speaking makes my argument exactly. EV's are being promoted to lock people up. Consider women with an abusive partner. If you cannot travel far and your partner controls access to energy, you're trapped. Think about it.

Pure EV's No Good - For Now

 Here's a different way of looking at electric vehicles but he comes to the same conclusions I do:

Automobile Innovation

Here's an idea I've had concerning electric cars. This has probably been thought of before, but my version goes like this: the problem with electric cars is range. Fine for around town stuff, but between cities the electric cars run out of juice.

What about cars that run on roads with an electrical supply reticulated into the road itself. Steam trains used to have water towers for refuelling, then a trough came along placed beside the track, a scoop picks up the water and the train never has to stop. Well, how about zones on highways where there is a live rail and the car lowers a wand to charge the batteries as the car drives along. Solar and wind could be added as a source of power as well as the surface also generating power from the wheels rolling across the surface.

Then what about nuclear cars. I currently have a car sitting in the garage with a full fuel tank. If invented today the set-up would probably be illegal. So what about a safe steam car, the heat coming from an on-board reactor. Within the useful life of the car it would never need refuelling. Think like a watch on the wrist glowing in the dark. As safe as that watch would be the design brief.
