And theyre supposed to fly too. yes and manufactures can no longer throw money to make sure they don’t happen and are finally embracing them, btw there are flying cars too. ---

Embrace the future or live in the past. Electric cars are the future, whether anyone likes it or not. Many major companies now have at least one fully electric car, and most have a hybrid of sorts. I was considering leasing a Nissan Leaf since the lease on them is stupidly cheap and I wouldn’t have to spend a cent on fuel for it, but at this point in time it’s just not practical enough for me. ---

It’s going to be a rough future. Most manufacturers are pretty much forced by the government to build electric cars. The timelines that they are given are too aggressive IMO. ---

Most manufacturers are pretty much forced by the government to build electric cars. The timelines that they are given are too aggressive IMO. I agree w/ the aggressive timelines. But, it’s the government. They can set aggressive timelines for stuff, we just can’t expect them to follow their own deadlines (like a budget). ---

and they will extend them or allow manufactures to buy and trade credits, just like every other environmental regulation. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/saw-a-tesla-model-s-today/266880.md?page=1)
