You are after all, supposed to be a moderator, leading by example.
Rather than attacking the arguer (a formal logical fallacy - ad hominem), why not just address the statements made?

Please send me your “research”. Preferably not something already debunked by the research I sent to you sourced from multiple PhDs whom have more experience and decades of academic rigor than you have years of existence.
Do not delay.

I don't believe I mentioned climate in this thread. As far as circles go, I can't help you there. Research, however, I can provide, were you open and receptive to it. I'm not the one trying to silence anyone by removing comments.
That is one opinion, and a forward looking one at that. Another opinion, forward looking, is that once more and more electric cars are available and their sales continue to falter, the unrealistic standards will be rolled back to more reasonable levels.

Dodge musclecar sales did well in Q3, despite the age of the platform (shooting to death the rationale of some that the cars won’t sell until the platform gets updated), which seems to be causing some to resurrect...
Southern Europe has the entire Mediterranean Sea, but central and northern Europe do not. The differences in temperature are not that significant. It still gets cold in central and Northern Europe, they still get snowfall.
Something else he didn’t mention was if you are driving an electric car in heavy rain and you have to drive through a low spot in the road where the water level is high, an electric car will experience complete electric failure leaving the car literally “dead in the water”.
To be fair, I...
