    Before I became a mod, I went in there exactly once and I knew it wasn't the place for me. Since I've become a mod I've only gone in there a handful of times (maybe 5) and it still isn't the place for me.

    i don’t go there, tried a few times, no one likes it when you tell them they’re just mice, stuck in a maze, and they’ve ran into a wall.

    They could open new truckstops to only permit full electric trucks. Heck, they can make current truckstops electric truck only. Give them massive incentives from taxpayers and close off the diesel pumps.

    Cali has a couple of these under construction. Big signs touting them. Not putting in any fuel tanks. Be interesting to see how long it lasts, before they put in fuel tanks.

    Check out Lucid motors. An electric car 9 seconds in a quarter-mile.

    Neighbor has a Saphire in his garage tonight, he has it for the next week or so for an evaluation. It is very very fast but speed comes with a price, energy. I get to take it this weekend and going to race it against his Tesla Plaid drag car if I have time. I would not get one because of the price, $250k is just too much for a car.
