If you took the time to actually read what is posted here, rather than confect your FUD nonsense, you would see that most of us see good in EVs in their place. That place is not here with me. That's my choice.

So no reply on the FUD "Ev's are more expensive to fuel" yet?

Or "All EV's are full of cobalt" FUD?

Maybe if you keep at it some will believe you. Me.. I do make an effort to objectively look at things.

I'm not that fussed on being forced to breath known carcinogens either.

I don’t recall those exact questions being asked but yeah if that have then fine to call them out but you cry FUD on everything that’s bought up that you think is anti EV even when it’s the truth.

FUD sprayers don't like being called out!

Tell the truth, educate people accordingly and people can make their own mind up.

Funny, I carry jumper leads if this happens to me.. or someone else.

Meanwhile I've heard multiple reports of people with discoveries and Range Rovers who get cascading whacky faults when 12v batteries aren't right. One gent I know was told by LR he needed a new gearbox. He saw another Brisbane LR specialist who also told him that he needed a new gearbox. In desperation he phoned another LR specialist who told him to "replace the battery". Which saved him a 13k gearbox replacement. I guess that's ok.

Meanwhile one guy in the UK has had a battery fail and the car has told him it needs to be replace. And because people on this thread go looking to reinforce their views there is always someone you can find who will have had something bad to say. In this case scouring the UK looking for horror stories.

Meanwhile I know now 9 people with Teslas personally (and know them well). They've all had their car delivered within the last two years. And the only single "tesla please come and fix it" was one who picked a car up and it had a slow rear window. Which they came and fixed no questions.

The only thing with my car in nearly six months is they sent me a notification in the app that a speaker grill might warp which won't look the best and we'd like to come and replace it so you have a great experience. Arranged in the app and they turned up at home replaced it and was gone in 10 minutes flat. And the other one was perfect I thought..

Man I'll roll those odds any time compared to LR.

Best you get rid of the Defender 110 then, and, according to your conscience, best you have it crushed. Can't be passing it on through the market, can you?

As an Electrical Engineer all I’ve ever told is the truth. With facts, science and physics - bloody inconvenient for you I’m sure but you can’t dodge them - if you don’t want to hear it or call it out as FUD then there’s nothing else I can do - people are making their minds up - and you seem to get upset this is mostly falling on the ICE side of the fence. If you get upset by this and want to go stick your head back in the sand and pray to Electric Jesus, I’m not stopping you. It is you who’s the FUD sprayer, not I.

Do you have 30 years of Electrical experience with Power systems, generators and power distribution networks? Oh that’s right - that’s me…

Right now I guess all the major car companies are "FUD sprayers" as well. It's all there for those who can be bothered to look. Even Tesla dropped prices, and likely will again. Sounds like FUD to me.

Speaking of diesel and carcinogens.
