You saying Warren Buffet invested in a scam over the last 15 years or whatever it's been?

Maybe it’s time to pull on the reins over this reluctance to accept new technology. Did you figure in “road apple” street pollution from the horse-driven carriages? I bet you forgot about the air pollution of horse flatulence piercing tender nostrils of those riding behind, too.
The car actually put some people out of work in cities. There was so much horse shit on the streets in Chicago and New York that every corner had a guy you'd pay to shovel the shit out of the crosswalk so that you could cross the street without ruining your shoes and work clothes.
You can’t overrule physics. It takes a given amount of energy to move any 3,500 pound vehicle 1250 miles. The source of energy makes no difference.I don't know if this has been independently tested, but if someone can produce an EV with 1250 mile range this is game over for gasoline. I suspect though this is just hype with no basis in reality.
These new cars can drive 1,250 miles without refueling
A new hybrid EV design from BYD can drive more than 1,200 miles without refueling, and two cars using the design will launch soon.bgr.com
40 gallons of gas would do it. Slightly less with diesel. We can manage 40 gallons in a car. Electricity? I can’t imagine the size of battery that would take. We would need a huge breakthrough in battery chemistry. Moreover, where does the electricity come from to charge such a battery? The amount of electricity required for such a journey is constant. All we are talking about is how to store that electricity. We don’t have enough of it now.
But yeah, electric vehicles definitely have a place, and that is short-run urban errand running.
*I understand the efficiency argument. More efficiency means less energy is wasted, not that less energy is necessary to do the task.
As has been said many times in this thread... This is a hybrid vehicle that can appearantly go 1250 miles 'without refueling'. I'm guessing that means 1250 miles on a single tank of gas.
Charging station can be in your garage. That’s what we will do when we switch both vehicles to total electric.
BYD is the Chinese Tesla but it’s still made in china. Don’t believe any of this hype.I don't know if this has been independently tested, but if someone can produce an EV with 1250 mile range this is game over for gasoline. I suspect though this is just hype with no basis in reality.

I understand. The energy required is the same. So the vehicle needs a big battery and a highly efficient ICE. Using the ICE to charge while en route can’t work.
A Chinese Tesla rival, backed by Warren Buffett, is buying back its own shares to stop a stock-market slump
BYD's stock price has tumbled 22% this year, even as it closes in on overtaking Elon Musk's company as the world's top EV seller.

Elon taking them pretty seriously these days.
He should be concerned. It doesn’t mean that at the end of the day the vehicle won’t stink. But LMIC markets will gobble them up.
Some of the BYD’s I’ve seen are carbon copy ripoffs of Land Rover Defenders but with Chinese junk mechanics. These people are shameless.
I wouldn't trust a Chinese manufacturer for something that important or expensive.
The faster multinational companies pull out of Chinese manufacturing, the better. The amount of onshoring, nearshoring and even Asian transfers (Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia) is insane right now.
Yes I don't think you'll see BYD having any success in the US market anytime soon.... But they will be able to sell the shit out of these elsewhere around the world.
Let's see. They cost as much as German cars in Europe, so without their price advantage, let's see how many Europeans are willing to take the chance on cars from a country who's quality has long been a disadvantage.
Hey either tonight or tomorrow night I’m taking the kids to a new pizza place. They only serve Detroit style. I’ve never had it. Good stuff?
Do you like quasi-fried dough? If so, good stuff.
Think Noble Romans Sicilian back in the day.
Ha no. They have those here tho. Isn’t that like fast food pizza? Dominos etc? I’ve never had it
It's great lol
Thick slices of of pan pizza oozing with cheese. Made and eaten by true americans
My oldest son lives in Southern Michigan and said Jets is pretty good.
Buddy's pizza is probably the best representation of detroit style pizza.
I assume by True Americans, we are excluding those that drink foofy Starbucks drinks with milk, cream, sugar, etc.?
They really grease up the pans and the corners especially are crispy edged deep dish pizza dough that is almost deep fried as a result. It's not deep fried, obviously, but that's the best way I can describe it.
AFA Jet's, we do it occasionally. It's much better than a dominoes or papa john type fast food pizza. They actually do an 8 corner version for a premium because people like those crispy corners so much.
We don’t have buddy’s. So this new Detroit pizza sounds like it has weird cheese: brick, provolone chihuahua, or cheddar.
Detroit style is better version of the place that used to be in the Gables, Garcias. Denser and less like toppings on a piece of texas toast.
That's a good comparison. Detroit style can fire if you find the right ones.
Weird place that has fire Detroit pizza. Bad Dad Brewery in Fairmont Indiana.
I've never heard of this place. We lived in Kokomo from 91-97. Was Bad Dads there then?
I need to make it up there. We have a pizza place here that will have their beer on tap sometimes, and it's usually pretty good.
