Nobody’s Perfect: Toyota Prius VS Chevy Volt
Nobody’s Perfect:
It’s not rocket science: When Obama and his green buddies decided to throw “stimulus” into GM to make electric cars, anybody who had any sense would have said—-Uh…Thomas Edison tried to make a battery driven car: Been there, done that. You remember Thomas Edison don’t you? The progressives want you to forget him because he was the quintessential entrepreneur…He only lit up the world as we know it, and because he invented the motion picture, we get to see Obama and Michelle this week on the View!
Lucky us!
If Thomas Edison thought it wasn’t worth the effort, what makes you think Obama could do it? After all, in my 50-year old house, I cannot turn on my computer if my printer is on. And god forbid someone decide to vacuum the rug on Christmas Eve…all the outside Christmas lights blow out.
A Chevy Volt plugged into my garage would blow out my whole neighborhood. I’d have to buy a new house to just plug the Volt into….and it’s been known to blow up a few houses.
Hey…didn’t that brilliant mind of Obama’s job Czar Jeffery Immelt–didn’t he realize we’d have to rewire millions of homes to use these worthless electric cars? NO…all he saw was big electric bills coming his way. That’s what’s your suppose to do when you’re CEO of General Electric. Build everything in China, and get our government to fund electric cars.
Obama insisted on making those electric cars..so he doled out the money….
Washington agreed to provide $25Bn in cheap loans to the companies who make electric cars. So far, $8.4Bn has been committed. The rest of the money will be doled out before 2019. The money is being lent by the Federal Financing Bank (FFB). Because the loans are guaranteed by DOE, there is no risk of repayment to FFB. As a result, the loans are excluded from the calculation of the debt limit. The 25 ‘large’ is all “off balance sheet”. A very neat trick indeed!
People aren’t stupid—So, it came as no surprise this week when two companies who had been trying to force electric cars onto the market have decided to take their losses and call it quits. Guess what? Nobody is buying them. What are Leonardo DiCaprio, Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper, Dustin Hoffman, Harrison Ford and Tom Hanks going to do when they want to trade in their old Prius’?
Yes, after all the taxpayer’s good money…GM is dumping the Chevy Volt. Buy one now, and get a big discount…
GM’s discounts on the Volt are more than four times the industry’s per-vehicle average, according to TrueCar estimates. Edmunds.com and J.D. Power and Associates say they’re about three times the average. Discounts include low-interest financing, cash discounts to buyers, sales bonuses to dealers, and subsidized leases.
And Toyota is right behind. They are getting rid of their electric cars:
“The current capabilities of electric vehicles do not meet society’s needs, whether it may be the distance the cars can run, or the costs, or how it takes a long time to charge,” said, Uchiyamada, who spearheaded Toyota’s development of the Prius hybrid in the 1990s.
How do you like that? It took those two companies THIS long to figure that nobody was going to buy a car that had to be charged every 50 miles, and plugged in?
What? The Japanese are just as stupid as GM?
I don’t know which company is more lame. Toyota didn’t need an electric car, and it doesn’t make me feel any better that these great minds running the world are such idiots.
Nevertheless…don’t think they’ve given up. Remember…they passed Obamacare, which now means that our government can force us to buy anything, according to the Supreme Court.
I expect that IF Obama is kept in office, we will see….
The OBAMACAR. Probably a variation of this Nissan.
Nissan aims to offer its electric cars globally by 2012, in its long-term plan.
Nobody plans to put my mandated electric car on top of my house at Christmas time, with a Big Santa Claus sitting in the seat, decorated and lit up with my finest Christmas bulbs…
And then…I plan to vacuum.
Land of the Dweebs, Home of the Slaves…
Nobody Flashes
King Obama has announced that you can’t change Washington from the “inside.” You have to change it from the outside…and you start with redesigning the American flag.
Yes, it’s true. Obama has decided to put his OBAMA Logo on the American flag. You don’t have to go through Congress to get this change. After all, Congress would never do such a thing, put ONE President’s logo on the American Flag..the people would start burning his flags, right here in their home towns.
Obama would then have to make it a crime to burn the New “United Obama” American flag…if you were an American. It would be quite alright if you were an “outsider” because as you know, it’s the “outsiders” that are going to get the real changes in this country, and THAT’s why the Muslim Brotherhood get a first-rate ticket to the White House. No doubt he had to ask their advice on its new design.
So…what’s next? A new National Anthem?
“Oh say can you see…by Obama’s guiding light…
What so proudly he hailed, at the White House’s last gleaming
Through broad stripes and Obama’s Ooooooo’sss, and the perilous fight
Over Libya’s bombing we watched, while Obama lay sleeping..
Then Obama’s red glare…the drones flying thru our air!
Gave us peace through the night, that Obama’s flag was still there.
Oh say does Obama’s New Flashing Flag of America doth wave………..
Over the land of the Dweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeebs….and the home of all…his slaves!”
