onion_grower: All the major manufacturers are working on a battery powered car and a hydrogen. The hydrogen Toyota Mirai has a longer range than the Tesla and takes much less time to refuel than the battery recharge. In five years, I am betting the hydrogen car will have won the contest.

onion_grower: The Mirai goes on sale in CA this fall. http://www.forbes.com/sites/matthewdepaula/2015/06/30/toyota-mirai-fuel-economy-numbers-are-in-it-gets-67-miles-per-gallon/

ProducerBadBob: On the other hand, swappable battery packs will close that gap. pull in, drop out the old pack, install the new one in less than 5 minutes. The packs are then checked and recharged for the next customer.

Sungold: A friend of mine in Kansas has a Tesla. she and her husband love it. Drove to CA for a running marathon in Big Sur this spring. She plugged in Google to locate all the charging stations on the way out and on their route back. Had no problems.

Jarhead: thats nothing....My jeep stops at bars and cigar shops...automatically

Sungold: Mine goes to the grocery store all by itself,

Jarhead: lets ban 'political correctness' as years from now its going to be one of our biggest embarrassments in our history....our over sensitive stage when more metrosexual men were created than anytime in our history

Sungold: Well, I had to Google metrosexual men....had no clue!

Sungold: Some men could take lessons from them!

Sungold: Need to get going...sun is coming out...ugh!

Jarhead: nothing matters until we rewrite the campaign election laws and find ways to take the money out of politics and the eventual post careers of politicians to lobbyists

Jarhead: this wouldn't be difficult if the people moved it...no campaign contributions, no signs on yards etc...our community has 5 or 6 debates some are televised or on radio and each is bid on by the station and at the convention center and ads could be sold or sponsorship with all monies to back to the ci

Jarhead: but that should just show people how far we have progressed...not something to be hidden or forgotten

Jarhead: how do you know where you are going unless you know and embrace where you came from !!!!

ProducerBadBob: revisionism

Jarhead: glass half empty
