EV sales are generally down. I reckon pretty much everyone who wants one or can get one to suit their needs, has one already.
Loads of places now (at least over here) can't even install home charge points because the electricity grid is outdated and under dimensioned for the added demand.

100%... I love my Tesla, it's a blast.

My issue is all of these nut jobs making/assuming that EVs should replace all other technologies. Frankly, Toyota has been very smart... They are working on three separate initiatives: EV (solid state), Hybrid (they own that market), and Hydrogen... we should be diversifying... not hoping on one technology.

Then there are those idiots who seem to thing killing off all the nuclear power plants was a great idea.... You want EVs? You need alot of power.

Don't get me started on the killing off my natural gas stove or hot water heater.... assuming there is enough capacity: Who the fuck is going to pay for my upgrade to 300-400AMP service.

Etc... etc... etc...

Then there are the anti-EV people, some of whom are actually violent. One of them required the police to get involved, and was unluckily enough for me to be traveling and packing.

MONDAYS: CAN BE GOOD, BAD, OR FLAT OUT WEIRD...

Today's presentation: Impulse Research Wildebeest Big Bore cyberpunk pistol.

Like something that would be carried by a dapper gangster in a futuristic cyberpunk city, who ends up being one of the good guys and opens up a can of whoopass on the killer robot spiders and the tyrannical state cybernetics firm that released them to suppress dissidents. Developed by Australian firearms designer Bernard Besselink, the low bore axis profile Wildebeest is reminiscent of futuristic looking low axis revolvers like the Chiappa Rhino, and it's main purpose is to sling HUGE projectiles downrange.

With a few prototypes made upon the conception of Impulse Research in 2023, the gun seems to be a very limited production custom order only, chambered in .357 Magnum since the company's designated market that is Australian gun owners are legally allowed to own handguns of .357/9mm or lower. The company, which now has a US patent, is also hoping to release an entire line of Wildebeests for the American market, chambered in .357 Mag all the way up to .480 Ruger.

The only way these cyberpunk semiautos and revolvers would actually look cool and fit in, is with big, jet black leather greatcoats, Neo haircuts, smart glasses that project a blue holographic interface in front of the wearer, and starships docking and taking off every minute from a colossal orbital station on the horizon LOL. That is why the market for the Rhino and other similar guns remained on the niche end of the firearms world.

The only exception to this are KelTec bullpup shotguns. THESE look cool anywhere, anytime. :ROFLMAO:

Aw, is your widdle toesies and fingies cowd? I spent that afternoon snowmobiling in the mountains, and it was 15 degrees

Fo' realz man... Anything down to 28°F, my regular Line of Trade waxed ranch jacket is more than adequate, and no lining inside either. Only when it gets lower than that with significant wind chill is when I might have to put on layers or get the PolarForce. The Inauguration of 2025 was a level-1 big chill but it did not stop any Patriots from going to DC for a whole day of celebrating...

"...Oh, how simple minded we were, looking back to when they first started building these towers for their cities. We just thought they were for their skylines..... It was only after Ishtar-2B had been nudged out of it's orbit in the Kuiper Belt and was headed into the inner Solar System, with a 100% confirmation of striking our world with an output of 1 trillion megatons, that we realized how wrong we were... They were ships, not towers. Not just colony ships, but terraforming ships... And they simply packed up and lifted off even before our planetary railguns came online to engage the approaching reaper..."

Would love to see that Ferrari Monza and the Porsche 981 Bergspyder actually entered into a hill climb event! Maybe even just do Goodwood. Would love to see an entire class of these creations actually compete like they used to do in the old days.
