EV topics in general.

I've had people try to drive me off the road and while coal rolling me. That's happened 4 times in almost 3 years of EV ownership. Some people are unhinged. Most have been people waiting to yell at me as I'm getting out of the car or blocking me from backing out while yelling some political anti EV nonsense. It's been calmer lately though.

I'm sure it wholly depends on where you live. That's what I used to get here. It's been a bit since that stuff has happened. I have a guess to why it stopped, but I don't want to make a political statement.

News flash, Jeep’s also get treated like crap by the coal holes …
 
I had only one thread I started here get locked… It was about the 0.5 alcohol standard being pushed for giving people a DWI. Which was the right decision. It took like 8 pages to eventually get there. And truth be told yeah… that is about “ policy change “ has well..

DNewton3 did lock it. Which made sense.

A thread with a “ policy change” given what happened months ago… It is 1,000 percent chance it will go really bad almost instantly.

And locking mine and then doing the same thing is something you remember - but nothing you can do. Nothing.

Just because you do something doesn’t mean I do.

In public I’m a mute unless I am spoken to, so in my case it goes one direction.
People around here get their panties in a bind if your vehicle is extremely old, extremely ugly, if your going too fast, too slow, if you fully stop at a stop sign, if you don’t fully stop at a stop.
If you accelerate too slow, if you accelerate too fast. In many cases your just existing will do it , was behind a car at a red light, guy started honking at me constantly, then driving aggressively towards my pickup as I accelerated after the light finally changed
only being about 4’ away from the car ahead as I was blocked in by traffic.

My goal is to get where I need to go with zero interactions.

That is always my goal,
can’t help if sociopaths are driving into each other or going the wrong way on the highway, just gotta avoid them as much as reasonable.

Yeah, that wouldn't end well for them here. People here are much more polite

No politics needed, we all know human beings, a significant percentage of them are defective, regardless of political affiliation.
They will look for any reason to create a confrontation

I don't mind being quality control. I think people sense that and just avoid it in public.

Alcohol 0.08 has been the 50 state standard since 1984. Looking at DWI fatalities by graph, since 1982, it's had zero effect.

100%. I don't make prolonged eye contact. I don't speak to people unless spoken to, and I move with purpose. I'm typically pissed off and while I don't see it, other people say I'm a big guy. I guess the latter depends on the observer.

1. That was a generalized statement…

2. That was not directed at you as an individual.



3. I DO NOT start useless, mindless nonsense with other people who have different views than I do…

I do not believe in doing that either while out and about in public… That’s just downright unnecessary, foolish and stupid to do.

I take care of people who have different views than I do… And even if they watch looney tunes news from certain outlets.. I treat them very, very well. Got lots of good experiences with people with different views than I do.


You are the individual who made a garbage remark about me on here before..


I didn’t go to the moderators on here…

No…

I sent you a direct message…

Gave your my DIRECT phone number…

Which I told you you might just be surprised when or if you had the cajones to actually send me a msg or call me.

I called someone who did that on Facebook once. Turns out it was some drunk idiot who just wanted to tell me their life story. I'm never doing that again.
