ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

[jasonwx]

Let's stop with this nonsense
Honda and Toyota have had their share of MASSIVE recalls as well. Honda is losing market share day by day.

I assume you’re being sarcastic

Eatin beans helps to release it too.

Plants also release ethylene vapors as a phyto-hormone.
It helps to ripen fruits and veggies.

The Origin of Fruit Ripening

A gaseous plant hormone turns off anti-ripening genes, enabling fruit to mellow--and taste good

Shell buildin a hugemongous plant on the river near Pittsburgh to crack natural gas into ethylene then onto polyethylene (plastic).

No, not at all
I'm being serious. They certainly put out a great product, but by no means do they rule the auto world. It's an extremely tight race out there. IMO, to rule the auto world you have to have truck sales. Neither one of them hold a candle to Ford or Chevy when it comes to truck sales. Subaru has, and has had, the highest residual values for years. Again, they put out a great product but most certainly have had their share of massive recalls. In fact, Toyota still holds the #1 spot in the USA for the biggest recall ever.

I perused the owners manual posted above for the new Rivian.
The Subie Outback has many more features detailed in it’s manual and it’s a couple years older, not that I read all of it.
I’m still a learner.

Didn’t Toyota have to replace the frames of multiple years of Tacoma’s recently? That must have cost a few bucks

Yes
Nissan had a similar one as well

That blew my mind when it happened. They must have been completely rebuilding those trucks by hand at the dealership, right? It almost seems like giving everybody a new truck might have been cheaper.

Airbag recall but I get your point. The established auto companies are doing the same old same old with electric vehicles.

Of like 15 year old trucks
