Hell yeah man. I felt incredibly empowered during Helene and Milton with our Tesla’s and EVs even helped rescue folks while everyone else was out of gas.

I will always choose a good EV for these instances. Home backup, reliable transport and plenty more lol.

You're doing a great job debunking these lies! Nicely done Mr Sullins

Any car submerged for a significant amount of time will be ruined….gas, diesel, or EV no matter

[OasisAmps]

In Sarasota Florida after both hurricanes. The only people that didn't have range anxiety was EV drivers. There was no gas anywhere a week after the hurricane passed. No services dependent on gas worked either. Uber Eats, any delivery service all down. Only delivery services was Amazon in their electric Rivian Van. Gas was a complete failure when everyone need it at the same time.

As a retired technician I can assure you the last car you want to purchase is ANY CAR OF ANY DRIVETRAIN that was submerged in saltwater.

As a trial lawyer I have litigated cases where ICE cars caught fire in a garage and burned the house down.

[humnpwr]

I was driving an ice vehicle which caught on fire. I got out before the flames completely destroyed my car. Also my late father in law had his garage burn to the ground from an ice vehicle fire. Further more I sold a Harley 1200 to a friend in the sixties. He had it in his father’s garage while adjusting the carburetor, it caught on fire, destroying his father’s garage. I have never seen an EV on fire in all my years.

And on a day when Honda announced the recall of 700, 000 Civics, Accords, and CR-Vs … because they can catch on fire because of faulty fuel pumps.

Sadly, the people that watch those shows are the same that think it's ok to lie about anything.

[bigfish]

I wonder how many of them people in that gas line had a change of heart about EVs when they saw those Teslas charging up.

[billrumbley]

Wow. I have a model 3 and a Y, both bought new. Neither cost us $50K.

[RonBme]

Apparently saltwater and EVS don't mix. Last time I checked apparently water and gas powered cars don't mix either

[MickMcGuire]

I live a little south of these geniuses in Florida. It's amazing the bs you can see on social media and people believe it. Thanks for the fud fighting!!

[mikeshafer]

I love all of the EV haters who start by saying “I don’t hate EVs but….” It’s like saying “I’m not racist but…”

[dreamburn]

Thank you Ben for fighting against the liars and ignoramuses.

I learned two things by watching these guys: 1. Florida is on the east coast. 2. Florida is near the ocean.

Solar and batteries are the game changer for EVs. Those good old Florida boys, like 90% of humans, live in areas where, averaged over ten years, it costs less to power your home with solar and batteries than to buy expensive electricity from your corrupt, local utility monopolies. For the self reliant and intelligent Americans who are home energy independent, it is a small step to buy an EV. You can then become mostly vehicle energy independent too, and stop funding Exxon climate change disinformation and Saudi terrorism. As worldwide demand for electricity (data storage, crypto, AI, electrification of everything) and gas (the world population is still growing which is increasingly causing resource shortages and conflicts), prepared people will generate and store their own energy.

Australia had "gas" (petrol) rationing in the 80s to deal with strikes by tanker drivers. You need to see the queues outside gas stations when there's a tanker driver strike in the UK. It's hilarious.
An example of what happens when everyone tries to refuel at the same time....the infrastructure can't cope. Sound familiar? 😂

[tedfigler]

I live on the East coast of Massachusetts where coastal flooding, unfortunately, is becoming common. I was driving along an ocean front road and was confronted with a few flooded areas. My depth estimation was at least 2 feet deep. I just went ahead and drove my Model 3 right through it. No problem. One bit of advice, if your car (or anything mechanical) is immersed in salt water, give it a good rinse with your garden hose or hit the car wash.

Change is scary. EVs are change. They feel threatened. That must be really hard for them. They should each get a cookie.
