Overview:

Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

Ford killed the F-150 Lightning because nobody wanted it. Tesla's Cybertruck is selling even worse—but Elon Musk refuses to let it die. In this documentary, we uncover the hidden truth behind the spectacular collapse of the Tesla Cybertruck, how a promised $39,900 revolution turned into a depreciating six-figure nightmare, and how Musk is quietly using his own private rocket company to buy up unsold inventory just to keep the numbers from cratering.

I drive the dolphin from the company work this week, it was the first i drive a EV and automatic car at the same, it feels weird the lack of hand break but it does fine, only reforced to me buy a EV as my next car

Few hybrids have hand brakes these days, and even many combustion powered vehicles

It has a hand brake, but it's electronically operated and I have it set to automatically operate, because there's no benefit in not doing that
