Most people (not all, just the general public) do NOT know how most things work in their life.

Where does electricity come from?

The wall.

The tractors were easy for me compared to the grain trucks I drove before I had a license. Easiest to most difficult were:
75 Ford cabover
41 GMC
43 6x6 army truck with gravity bed/box

friends who drove family heirloom grain trucks said “can’t find em, grind em” a lot lol

Well, there's that whole bursting into flames thing, but whatever.

I did say when the technology matures. Especially if solid state batteries are perfected.

Tesla and Other EVs Catch Fire 19x Less Often Than Gas Cars

There is a report that shows that Tesla and other EVs are 19x less likely to catch fire than a gas car.

Yeah Hard pass the the Tesla. It’s going to be a cold day some where when I would ever purchase a vehicle that can be disabled remotely . Sorry that is a situation that would be ripe for abuse.

Propulsion method has ****-all to do with the ability to remotely control a modern vehicle.

But are 100x harder to put out.

From several different types of production methods.

Got an oil well and refinery in your backyard, sparky?

Correct, with current lithium-ion batteries.

Also irrelevant.

A lot of internal combustion fires are due to E85. It deteriorates the hoses and creates leaks. Even the E85 approved hoses.
The rest of them, are just idiots that don't understand gasoline is flammable.

Do you, or 99.5% of the population?

If I did, I would have my supply of gasoline.

That's my point. There are several ways to make electricity. You have no way to make gasoline. You have to rely on someone else.

I'm not sure what's wrong with people who think that there's some master plan to remotely control EVs, but they will be allowed to drive around in ICE vehicles with impunity.

Most of the population can't generate electricity either, and a high percentage of those people, wouldn't even know how.

A good friend of mine who I still know was learning how to drive a stick. They went to pick up manure for the garden with
an S-10. His dad was in the bed with a pile of manure and wanted him to pull up a bit. He popped the clutch and down
went his dad. Right in all the cow We still laugh about that story.

So true. They have NO CLUE how anything works today.

Not sure what to think about this? But the mere ability to remotely shut down a vehicle would never be abused . All one needs to do is look at Bill Gates and draw your own conclusions from there.

I learned to drive in a 68 chevy pickup with 3 on the tree. That was a breeze compared to teaching my oldest son to drive in 95 F150 manual, good lord, THAT was a nightmare!

Yep, they often did not have synchronizing gears so it was the operator that had to shift in sync…

 

[Bugzilla]

I heard that the emissions are what caused the demise of the manual tranny. Not sure if that is true or not. All my pick ups had them but Ford hasn’t offered one since at least 2016 in the Superduty.

 

[oze]

I'd like to see youngsters drive 3 on the tree.

Man, that was a long throw from 1st to 2nd!

I had an ‘89 F-150 with a manual trans. Sold it to a guy who was buying it for his 16 yr old son. Told him if he could teach his son to drive it, he would be able to drive any manual out there.

Are you saying that modern vehicles that run on gasoline cannot be shut down remotely? Never heard of OnStar?

Once again…propulsion method has nothing to do with electronic control of modern vehicles.

And if you think the government control of electric vehicles is going to be implemented, but not ICE vehicles through either electronic means or regulation, permitting or licensing, then I don’t know what to tell you. They can shut down your gas pump with a ration card or regulation just as easily as they can remotely shut down an EV or ICE vehicle with modern electronics.
