Nope - no debate. My 21 Bronco gets much better mileage than my 1973 Bronco.

Sorry but this is simply not true. Here's the math:The capability to generate the bulk energy to power the national (less international/global) fleet at this moment DOES NOT EXIST IN PART MUCH LESS IN TOTAL. This is why Russia is murdering innocent Ukrainians RIGHT NOW...
Our lack of real, physical generation infrastructure is why we fight wars for the last hundred years for resources. JAPAN ATTACKED PEARL HARBOR OVER THE UNITED STATES CONTROLLING PETROLEUM IN THE PACIFIC. We couldn't charge 1/64th of today's fleet domestically on current power transmission infrastructure without significant rationing of other energy consumption. Heat/cool your house and charge your phone or charge your EV so you can go to work in the morning. Choose one.
Well said!Way overthinking it. Get a vehicle that fits YOUR needs and don't worry about accommodating others. You want a 2DR, get a 2DR. You want to drive an SUV on pavement 90% of the time, just like 99% of all the other SUVs, do it. When it no longer fits your needs, sell it. This isn't a marriage. Live life. Enjoy life. Don't overthink the small stuff.
Kind of like your Suzuki Samari?Well said!
A big part of what makes the Bronco so appealing is how it makes it easy to get out and enjoy life.
I wish Cappuccinos came in LHD, I want one but not bad enough to sit on the wrong side.Kind of like your Suzuki Samari?
I think Doug Demuro did a review video yesterday on your Zuk too - Should check it out:
His numbers were incredibly optimistic, 100 mpge average across a range of 68-141? For all 12 months? In every grid region? Surely you jest... IEA says EV sales grew by 3 million from 2019 to 2020 to 10 million, a 30% increase. If that trend continues, rolling blackouts and rationing in Texas, the northeast and southwest with very fragile grids, forest fires and other calamities will only exacerbate the marginal conditions we now see. Take the decrease of one of the only carbon neutral generation capabilities, nuclear, from about 20% to an estimated 12%, and we have a disaster in the making. Solar, wind and other sources cannot scale in an increasingly difficult regulatory and litigation climate where any power project is delayed by punative legal delays and other shenanigans. He paints a very rosy, optimistic view of shifting carbon emissions from point sources to remote sources... I think he's more than 100% optimistic.Sorry but this is simply not true. Here's the math:
Anyone who thinks we are anywhere near capable of supporting large scale usage of battery powered vehicles isn’t worth taking seriously.His numbers were incredibly optimistic, 100 mpge average across a range of 68-141?
