I'd buy one for 4-6k.

Welp, @oldshurst442has fallen off the wagon again. Go take another sabbatical. Nobody reads your 5000 word rants anyway.

What is actually wrong with you? If I don't agree with somebody that means I'm trolling? Would you prefer this site to be a big circle jerk and everybody just agrees with everything? @oldshurst442, but nothing to say back to this?

How exactly do I not have an open mind? You took what I said and immediately assumed I crossed the whole idea of battery swapping bikes off my radar. If you read exactly what I said, "Swapping batteries, sounds oh so slightly more of a pain in the @ss than filling up at a gas station on a road trip." It was JUST about road tripping a motorcycle and you will not convince me that bouncing from dealership to dealership on a road trip would be enjoyable. But, as it stands, you can't hardly road trip an electric motorcycle anyway so the point is moot. Nobody in their right mind would ride ~90 miles to park and charge for an hour or three depending the rate in which the charger is charging. Oh, such a convincing argument. You two certainly know how to talk the talk but neither one of you have walked the walk.

So then Mr. @oldshurst442, does David's quote below sound like a realistic venture on a road trip? So what EXACTLY are YOU doing to not let the "world pass us by"? What would you, personally, suggest me to do more to "understand". I certainly have never drawn a hard line in the sand against EVs. Exactly like @ykXsaid last week, I have previously stated nearly the same thing. I thoroughly believe EVs are the future but there are some hurdles to cross yet before they will really take off, the biggest of which is price that's been hashed and rehashed dozens of times already.

I'm not talking about the scooter article and I thought that was obvious because people don't road trip scooters. I'm talking about the Autoblog article which is very much about motorcycles AND my comment was immediately after David's which was quoting the Autoblog link.

At those prices and range, I could definitely use one of these to just stay around town going to the bus stop for work, grocery store, gym, Rural King.

Yes, I read the link/article. The idea of it is good for around town or a couple hour day trip with friends but you cannot expect to attempt to road trip and pick out dealerships to swap batteries. There was also zero talk of range but They're likely small batteries with not-a-ton of range. The Harley Davidson LiveWire has a range of 95 miles combined or 146 miles city. I very much expect a battery/bike situation where batteries can be easily swapped to not have the capacity of the LiveWire, having less range.

Swapping batteries, sounds oh so slightly more of a pain in the @ss than filling up at a gas station on a road trip.

I had to look it up myself. This is what I found. https://www.goodcarbadcar.net/chevrolet-malibu-sales-figures/

...as the GT-R 13 years ago. It's been left on the clothes line to dry for a bit too long now. 200k and vehicles that sold 200-300k each have been dropped from the segment(Fusion & Malibu). 200k looks pretty bad when you realize that, imo.

Classic Nissan, LAST.

Sorry, not ocnblu, smk. smk, not ocnblu.

+1

My assumption would be the entire fleet may take 30 minutes in total. Then why do you give ocnblu such a hard time for being a Benz fan?

My in-laws are from India. Sure have owned a Mercedes. No, I don't currently own one. The difference is the blind defense of them. There aren't great Mercedes and there aren't good reasons to buy an EV or convert everything to electric. At least ocnblu puts his money where his mouth is an owns a Benz. ..just say'n..

And every MAJOR city in the US is a shtstorm during rush hour as well, what's your point? I posted a population density map. Smoke and mirrors. Neither will own one anytime soon. It'll be some excuse after the next.

Population density (number of persons per square kilometre area) in States/ Union territories in India

That's like showing a picture of Times Square and saying it's easier to get around on bikes in the USA. Not all of india is that packed.

This was my first question, where are they recharging these things at? Oh that's not more complicated than just filling tanks with diesel. What's the actual benefit here? Emissions? That's literally the only benefit because the rest is way more inconvenient to the end user.

The admin wanted it in so it gets a pass.

Redwings fan?!? Back when we were in the same division and it was a great rivalry, home games against Detroit were known as "punch a Redwings fan in the face day". ? That's just absurd. It's a cool car and all but there's no reason for a market adjustment on a Mach 1, imo. I just cannot see it holding its value without a Shelby name on it.

Do you ask the other the same question...?
