Well here’s a story to gladden the heart of any petrol car driving cynic like me:
Yes, a 3 hour wait to charge your show off car. Did these daft cunts not realise how inconvenient being a virtue signalling prick was going to be? A two minute wait to fill my petrol banger at the local filling station represents a major hold up for me.
But there’s more. I found the following pearl on the Tesla Owners Club UK Shitface page, which I copy verbatim:
‘I’ve just been speaking to a friend who owns a garage.
I won’t name places but he said the auction house he uses has over 160 electric vehicles, 52 are Teslas, and no one is bidding on them. They’re being listed thousands under book and not getting a single bid.
A fully electric mini yesterday with a book of £27k couldn’t even get a bid of £20k.
I recon (sic) the bubble has burst.’
I would feel really sorry for Tesla owners if I wasn’t so busy laughing my cock off. Stupid cunts.

And here’s another example, this time from Fuglyucker
Smugg Tesla driving cunts need a full charge cunting, these cunts are doing their best to Lord it over everyone else whist driving the most badly built, unreliable pieces of shit on the planet, whist on the pretence of saving the planet.
These poxy cars, their range, charging system, dealerships and owners are all bollocks, even the company owner is an uba cunt, you would think rather than shooting his substandard cars into space and spending millions doing it, he would have tried to help out his band of fuckwits customers to have a real world usable car, that works when you need it to.
Long live petrol cars and fuck the government for trying to push these electric cars on the eternally stupid…..

And Jeezum Priest has something to say about EV charging…
EV charging.
There was quite a good opinion piece in the Telegraph, of all places, that pointed out the one thing that everyone who is urging folks to go green, greenish, greener, greenest has failed to mention.
EVs use electricity. Manufacturers who make EVs produce vehicles.
They don’t produce electricity.
Future sales of EVs are falling, after all, who wants a coal fired oven if there’s no coal?

And there’s more: this one from Mikdys
We all know, by now, that electric cars aren’t really a very good idea for a host of technical, political, infrastructure, practical and even environmental reasons. Also, that the UK Net Zero target can’t possibly make the slightest difference to the worldwide situation whether or not you believe in the CO2 demon. I’d like to set all that aside and look at some verifiable numbers instead:
Type: 2022 sales: 2021 sales:
Diesel 82,981 135,773
Petrol 682,473 762,103
MHEVd 72,373 98,753
MHEVp 219,701 198,025
BEV 267,203 190,727 (Battery Electric Vehicle)
PHEV 101,414 114,554
HEV 187,948 147,246
TOTAL 1,614,063 1,647,181
UK car parc size 35,023,652
No SMMT breakdown available (free to the public) for types of vehicle within the overall parc. BEV sales increased 2021 to 2022 so, being generous, let’s assume they increased by a similar percentage year on year since 2016 when the SMMT last split the market out to AFVs (alternative fuelled vehicles), rather than Battery Electric Vehicles ,with sales of 88,919 (which would have included “dual fuel” and “LPG” etc). I calculate, being generous, that there are probably c 1,000,000 pure battery electric cars on the road currently.
Now to my main point: Sales of new petrol & diesel cars are to be outlawed as from 2030 (hybrids as well from 2035). Thus there are 7 short years to replace 34 million cars with electric ones. That would mean BEV sales of 5 million a year, whereas current sales are just 5% of that. Not at all likely.
The average UK car age at scrappage is 14 years. So, being generous again, and moving forward 14 years from the hybrid ban date (yet more generosity), gives a total of 26 years for another 34 million battery car sales. That’s 2.5 million BEVs a year. Taking into account that potential buyers not only have to drink the Government’s Kool Aid but be able to afford an horrendously expensive electric car in order to increase overall new car demand 150% this scenario isn’t very likely either.
Keeping that generosity hat on let’s assume there exists a big enough supply of, rich, Kool Aid fans out there to keep BEV sales at .25million/year. To replace the UK car parc would therefore take another 136 years (that’s 2159 – not 2030 not even 2035).
The push for electric cars doesn’t add up whichever way you look at it – no wonder Richy Rich is advocating more maths lessons (he should start with his fuckwit Government)!

And supported by: MMCM
I would second this excellent nomination. The truth is that the technology and infrastructure won’t be in place by 2030 to support the transition to electric vehicles (AKA milk floats). It also has to be considered that the production of EV’s is environmentally damaging. For instance, EV battery manufacturers produce up to 60% more CO2 during fabrication than ICEV engine production. Once EC’s are manufactured in huge volumes that’s going to discount a high proportion of the supposed environmental gains of switching to EV’s. And most of these batteries are produced in China – which relies on coal to generate its power.
I have no issue if people want to buy EV’s but to outlaw the reliable ICE by 2030 is sheer madness and eco-authoritarianism. I’m not giving mine up.
I’m waiting for the first report of ‘losses’ on Snowdonia when an EV in Winter at night with heater, lights, satnav, fully loaded and going off road simply runs out of charge half way up the mountain to save a load of day trippers in flip flops and shorts.

youre all cunts.
no one but no one does maths.
Electric car efficiency ‘90-95%’
Electricity to your house 50% lost in wires getting it to you. Meaning that whether it is fossil fuel, or gae wind powered etc it’s maximum 50% efficient.
meaning your stupid electric car is 45-47.5% efficient.
Translation about as good a diesel or petrol if they could be fitted without a retarded catalytic converter which people steal and produces nitrous oxides known to cause respiratory problems. However, we’ll blame it on gas which heats homes and cooks food much more than the 50% efficient electricity journeying to you house. Utter fucking bollocks. The world is a cunt, media are cunts and climate experts are retarded cunts.

You forgot the herd of elephants in the room.
Stick half a ton of battery between the 50% efficient transmission and the 90-95% efficient motor and you get 30 smug cunts in a row (on a good day)

The ban on cars in 2030 is not a ban on cars. It just means that something far better in every single way and which, as a minimum, can do anything that your current real car can do, will be readily available. just get rid of your real car and get a milk float. Nothing to see here.
This is the party line. This is the fantasy endlessly repeated (who actually believes it?)
The milk float fantasy has just imploded. Anybody with a single functional brain cell and even a single molecule of critical faculty can see that (anybody with a single functional brain cell and even a single molecule of critical faculty as always known what absolute, intergalactic bollocks it always was).
Have to confess though, that I didn’t expect it to happen this early.
Hindenburg – sorry, hydrogen is bollocks as well.
As for tossler hypercunts? I’d have more sympathy for pol pot, mao, stalin, vlad the fucking impaler, linecunt, jeremy vine and fucking lenin put together! (than for ONE of these cunts).
If there is an actual ban on sales of cars in 2030, then it will have to be done deliberately in the full knowledge that it is the wilfull removal of personalised transport with no alternatives on offer. No pretense, no fantasy alternatives to hide behind.
We’ll see

Airships, blimps are coming back, but with modern technology, modern aviation safety standards.
20-minute video on new airships:
https://youtu.be/h0hpcpnWAsQ
Airships were amazing. I think there was a plot to kill that industry and let airplanes have the monopoly.
I hope they allow private, small, 4-person, 8-person mini airships and we can cruise the skies in comfort. THERE are your, “flying cars” that were promised, they will just be slower, but why rush around like a cunt in this glorious new century?

If you are offered a ride on an airship full of liquified hydrogen at about 3000psi though, I’d give it a miss.

You ever heard of the Hindenburg disaster?

Oh, Harold, oh Harold, oh Harold.
Have you ever heard of the endless PLANE CRASHES, Harold?
https://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2017/03/01/how-many-plane-crashes-have-there-ever-been/?sh=6abd388f7f34
Yeah, there’s been quite a few. Over 3,000 in the 1970s alone. Almost 2,000 this century so far.
Airships of this century will be amazing, they will be seen as sexy as fuck. Luxury, relaxed, smooth, spacious travel, bereft of loud thicko people.
Life is changing and mostly for the better, but if you filter life to only doom, dinghys and death in 2023, then you’ll be miserable not cheerful. Your choice, I know what choices I am making this year, decade, century.
Peace! 🙂

You are in the sky, not flying at 300 mph, you’re chilling in a Jacuzzi with a beautiful woman, drinking champagne, watching England play Italy in the World Cup Semi Final. You then retire to an incredibly comfortable bed in your cabin, you make passionate love and when you wake up in the morning, you are in Mauritius. You have been in the air for 48 hours, but you’ve had an amazing, amazing JOURNEY not a “flight” yuck, a FLIGHT, in a smelly, crowded metal tube filled with assholes, the toilet is gross, that’s if it’s free, the flight crew are annoying and stressed, sleep-deprived, jaded, harassed. Okay, it’s only a 12-hour flight to Mauritius, but it’s HORRIBLE.
Why not take a 38-hour, ULTRA-relaxing, ULTRA-fun, ULTRA-sexy-romantic AIRSHIP JOURNEY?
You getting the picture? 😀

Sounds rather like the same sort of fantasy world justification/rationalisation as for milk floats to me.

But don’t forget, folks, you won’t need a car, because you’re going to be living in a 15 minute ghetto, sorry, City.

Glad I don’t live in Oxfordshire.

buy a Unimog get it registered agricultural, no mot, no tax, insurance £130 . Bit thirsty , put straight through exhaust on it make it noisy being old hes bit smokey like a destroyer laying cover.
Fecking poncy right on cunts hate me round here, which makes I very happy.

I posted earlier about manufacturers, are and will offer subscription services to the optional extras you pay for when you buy a new car. Difference with EV’s though is the manufacturers can take them away at will.
I have found the video I was referring to. Now this guy is generally a bit of a cunt when he comes to his food reviews, BUT he also has an all electric Porsche Taycan of his own. He is so fucked off with his decision to buy/lease it he has done several videos on his experiences with it.
Here’s one, but there are a few others. I found them very informative from a real world perspective. Do watch it all the way through- very interesting.

That’s the best article I’ve read on EVs.

Judging by the advert for it on tv, I thought it was only for sale to darkies.

I have a hybrid currently but going back to a petrol car soon. In Summer the EV only has a range of about 30 miles but oddly goes down by about 2 miles for every mile driven and in the cold snap recently , the range with full battery showed as 13 miles.
God knows what this would do to a full electric range but I shudder to think
I tend to go on long road trips around the Scottish Highlands . In my old Audi diesel that I had, I could get 600 miles per tank reliably so never worried about being stranded .
I wouldn’t risk such a trip in an EV . I’d end up beached in Tongue getting bummed by the locals when I ask if they have a charger for my stupid car

2030 ban on petrol and diesel? I bet they put it back. These people are cowardly shits.

Reported last night on the BBC that Elon is reducing the price of his milk floats, er electric cars by more than £5,000. Now, Elon may be an arsehole but he is not thick. There is no way he would price his cars below what the market will stand. This can only mean that he is struggling to sell them or at least sees that he will be very soon. The BBC twat did not even hint at this basic fact and said the price cut indicated that Tesla was planning to move more into the mainstream of the market rather than just selling to wealthy prats. Either he was intentionally talking bollocks or was repeating what he had been told and being insulated from the market by the television tax/licence knows no better.
