We Don’t Need No Flaming Sauna Cars

Reader GregN, in the comments;

We were stuck in an 8-hour travel stoppage on BC 97C Connector last night. EV drivers were sweating it out in the heat, poor dears. Quite a few tried backing up or turning around to drive against the stopped cars on the shoulder. Fortunately for them the incompetent Mounties and BC road crews were nowhere to be seen to keep them from blocking or jamming up the stoppage any further. We had no worries with a 500 km range remaining in our natural recycled dinosaur derived hydrocarbon fuel.

    1. Most of the females I know won’t have a car in the winter without heated steering wheel, seats, heat on high.

  1. The business opportunity continues to expand.
    One may have to seek out highway closures and extort,I mean help out these poor enlightened persons..so “ahead of their time,so misunderstood by the peasants”.
    When travelling we can carry a Honda generator and Jerry Can,just to sell in emergencies..
    Taking highest bids from the gullibles in the E car.
    I wonder when these virtue signallers will realize that they are donating their time to a farce?
    If ever.

  2. I was at a 711 and parked my truck beside a tesla when the the owner came out, I said these things are fast. He said very. I asked if he wanted to race and he said you don’t have a chance,I said Sarnia to Toronto and back. He smiled and said touche.

      One of those assholes tried beating my sports car. Off the line he went ahead, but not enough to pull into my lane. Then my turbo hit full boost, and bye bye asshole, he graced my rear view mirror:-))))

      1. Geeez, GYM. Way to go! Lucky you and the other twit didn’t get pulled over for stunt-driving, or worse yet, you could have done a Marty McFly, and wound up getting fired in 2015.

  3. Yes, its been HOT the last week here in the beautiful OK.

    Poor Tesla owners. Lots of Supercharger stations in the area, our resort has chargers for the roller skates as well. Still, I can sit in the parking lot waiting for my wife to shop her heart out, running my cool AC, listening to Sirius, without an effin care in the world in my dinosaur recycler

    This while watching the Mexican labourers walk on by, wearing jeans and hoodies, at 35C, and not breaking a sweat……

    EVs only functional use is in short milk runs, in town. Sure, a Tesla can make the 350km run from the Vankonger burbs to the OK valley, under PERFECT conditions. The use of any auxiliary electrical system (heat/AC) deteriorates the range significantly. Silly Liberal lefty urbanites

    1. Don’t you see it yet? They don’t want you travelling! That’s why the airports are such a mess, and you have to literally pitch a tent if you want to get a passport! They want to keep you confined to your own neighborhood.

      Why do you think they want to ban ICE’s? Do you really believe it’s for the cause of saving the planet?

  4. EV owners had better get used to hand fans when it’s hot.

    When it’s cold? Wear lots of layers and travel with a parka.

    Better yet, just don’t travel.

  5. Saying petroleum was derived from dinosaurs is no more inaccurate than telling us wind turbines and solar panels are our redemption from carbon criminality.

  6. The road closure on the connector illustrates the woeful dereliction of duty by the RCMP.
