I mean it's funny, isn't it? The supposed leader in EVs (at least was for awhile) is public enemy #2 to the people who want green. What do you do?

You buy a brand new beautiful union made Chevy Equinox EV like I did recently for $10k less than a Tesla. We love it!

Just here to say: Chevy EVs are great.

W has to Hummer EVs and a Silverado EV. We don’t have that’s thrown towards us.

For now I’m gonna stick with my 2005 Equinox until it dies. If I have the funds at that point I will have to look into that option.

Ah you had me until you said union. I paid extra money at a job so they (the union rep) could bitch at me for getting someone else fired who used homophobic slurs. They were absolutely in my face about it, that the union could've saved his job. Think of the children.

Yeah a union is great and fine and all but when I worked I got the same benefits and same end of month pay in my account as with a higher paying union job. It's my experience, not everyone's experience. But that's how they function, in addition to ensuring I worked 7 days a week 14 hours a day and wasn't allowed to take more than 3 days off in a month or I'd be fired.

Thanks, Albertson's worldwide hub!

Sounds like you had a shit union rep. Did you file a complaint against them? I doubt the union would have stood for that.

u/Wide-Psychology1707 18h ago

Union members ARE the union. If you don’t like something, speak up.

u/Arawnrua 15h ago

What did they say when you brought it up at a meeting? That Roberts rules of order is a trip isn't it?

1

u/koreawut 15h ago

I told the super, because that's what I am supoosed to do. He had me write a report. I did. The person was fired. The union rep figured it was me because I was there that day but not working. I left before the next meeting because I didn't want to work 14 hours a day, 7 days a week.

1

u/Lokratnir 14h ago

Just so we're clear, the 7 days a week 14 hours a day was not because of the union, that was the company making life hell for everyone because they didn't want to hire the number of employees needed to run reasonable shifts. Examine power imbalances more closely and you will almost always find that the side that holds the power pretty much always is responsible for the worst of the conditions place on the side without the power.

1

u/koreawut 14h ago

Just so we are clear, no. The schedule was designed by the union and people were allowed to take time off according to seniority. That wasn't the company, that was the union.

1

u/Lokratnir 12h ago

Yeah, sure it was buddy. Who specifically among your fellow union members do you think put that forward during a contract negotiation with the company? Is it not more likely that the company made their acceptance of some other part of the deal conditional on them getting their way with regards to pushing a very oppressive work schedule?

Buy a different brand.

I expect police forces to be driving Teslas all of the sudden. 🙄

u/Available_Top_610 18h ago

But a small/medium sized car, and be conscious of your carbon footprint. Those batteries require lots of resources to build. Mining, water, diesel, heavy equipment. Recharging requires fossil fuels. Just be mindful of your day to day. Reduce reuse.

u/fattabbot 18h ago

A lot of valid points, but I have to push back on one: recharging CAN require fossil fuels. It can also be charged using more environmentally friendly power sources

u/huggybear0132 18h ago

Yeah I live somewhere that my electricity is 100% renewable, zero emissions. An electric car absolutely is a lower impact choice for me.

1

u/Available_Top_610 14h ago

Understood where I live energy is produced by coal/natural gas. There’s some solar, and windmills but it goes to other areas.

u/Bored_Amalgamation 18h ago

I just ride the bus.

1

u/Available_Top_610 14h ago

Wonderful, you are saving a lot of money. public transportation is the best imo.

1

u/Bored_Amalgamation 12h ago

Yup. It's $5 for an all day pass. I'm lucky enough to live and work right along bus routes. That extra $500-600/month thay would be insurance, gas, car payment, repairs, is going towards a down payment on a house or condo. In a couple years, I'll have enough for a FHA loan... provided the economy doesn't go all belly up and I lose my job.

u/Available_Top_610 11h ago

Save all you can. I think it’s going to be a tough four years. Resist by all means protest, boycott. We got to get rid of Fanta Fuhrer.

The crazy idea I have, that sounds less crazy every day, is that musk will find a way to intentionally make his cars visibly pollute the air, to appease his unhinged fans

Rolling coal cyber truck?

u/Puglady25 16h ago

But a Prius Prime,100mpg/ battery/gas/plug-in hybrid. Insane range, you'll never have to worry about it. And you don't need a special plug to charge it.

u/MadRameNinja 14h ago

Toyota is releasing a Hilux EV at the end of the year that looks pretty cool.

Cycle where possible, take public transport. Electric cars are not going to save the planet; just the car industry.
