Fuel prices are making gas theft more common. Another win for EVs.
>EVfags are going around vandalizing peoples' cars now to fabricate arguments.Very strange behavior, OP.
Another win for gas theft
>>28951667Remember anon, you got more precious metals in that silly little skateboard than any amount of value in gas. One chop shop is all it takes to make a fortune off you>You can literally put a locking gas cap on and have 0 issues btw
>>28951668>a wealthy EV owner would steal 5 gallons of gasoline, not some poorfag ICEV owner
>>28951714The car's gas tank was drilled from underneath.
>grug thief drills into tank to steal>catches fire>grug thief drills into tank to steal>it's actually LNG>explodes
>>28951746lng are inside, thats why everyone is afraid of them going boom, you arent exploding if you hit a rock retard
>>28951754>lng are insidethere are cheap donut shaped ones that sit in the spare compartment. if grug doesn't see a tank on the outside grug may drill into the next best bulge it sees
>>28951740I'm well aware, it's a byproduct of living as rural white trash. There's plenty of ways to prevent it, like owning a gun.
Bidirectional charging is getting more common as well. Soon they'll be stealing your soc.
>>28951765>get phone notification that it's started>they get 5 cents of energy before the police arrive
>>28951766What's stopping thieves from snipping your antenna?
>>28951767The car alarm going off while they're doing it.
>>28951766>he thinks the police instantly arrive on sceneslmao, how fucking naive you are.
>>289517825 cents of energy equates to about 10 or 20 minutes of charging.
>>28951740That's why you get a sedan or a hatchback instead of a fuckhueg trukk with an 8 inch lift kit. (Absolute necessity for that daily commute down the highway!) Can't drill into what they can't get under.
>>28951738His gasoline generator still needs gas thoughbeit
>>28951738Reading comprehension, Paco.The joke was they do it to spread memes about ICE cars, not to get the gasoline.
>>28951667That has been a thing for a 100years anon.Crack heads or meth heads be doing their thing.
>>28951738>a wealthy EV ownerWhat's that?99% of EV owners think saving $100 a month on gas is a huge benefit.I see section 8 housing getting EV chargers as well.
>>28951667>Another win for EVs.Are you sure?>Electric-Vehicle Chargers Are Being Stolen at Record Rateshttps://www.evshift.com/458240/electric-vehicle-chargers-are-being-stolen-at-record-rates-how-to-protect-yours/
>>28951667>stealing fuel from consumer carsThat's pussy shit, anyone serious about fuel theft generally isn't going to go popping holes in commuter cars.Usually what actually happens is some guy with a slip tank pulls up to some laydown yard in the middle of fucking nowhere full of fleet trucks, generators, and fuel tanks, with anything from a powered siphon to just a hose and good lungs.Then they just pop open any equipment and tanks, siphon what they can, and fuck off to re-sell it on some local classifieds site as "surplus fuel".t. worked remote security and used to deal with that sort of thing any time fuel prices spiked
>>28952130I'd considered buying a knockoff bosch fuel pump and just pulling gas out of dead cars off the highway, they're most likely going to impound hell and auctioned anyways.
>>28952132Not a terrible idea.Ideal setup is a pickup with a small tank in the back, only takes a few minutes and if you paint it white and throw a beacon light on the cab no one's gonna question what you're doing.
>>28952132How do you even siphon gas anymore?Gas tanks since the 2000s all have mesh screens to keep tubing from getting through.
>>28952063blacks and mexicans love ICE cars lmao
>>28952214I don't know, might not work, I may be willing to steal gas but I'm not quite commited to destroying peoples shit for 28 dollars worth of 87.
>>28952063>99% of EV owners think saving $100 a month on gas is a huge benefit.So lets do a bit of math. I used 5226kwh of electricity since January.I pay 2.5c/kwh from 11pm to 7am on an ultra low overnight rate. $130.65 in electricity since January.My car averages about 20-22kwh/100km. Meaning I drove about 24,000km in that time.A similar awd gas crossover would get about 10l/100km, meaning it would use about 2400L of gas in that time. At $1.80/L that would be $4320 in gas. Meaning just since January alone ive saved $4200 in gas, not including any maintenence I've saved on.I'm on track to save about $9000 this year on fuel and maintenence costs alone not including the fact that a similar sized vehicle getting 10L/100km with awd is going to be a fucking slog as opposed to me having 400ft/lbs of torque on tap.after 4 years this vehicle will literally have paid for itself in fuel savings alone. It could be worth 0 dollars at that point and I wouldnt care.
>>28952250I'm not reading all that.Saving $1,200 a year on gas after buying a $47,000 EV is retarded.Also, only reddit fags do the "math"
>>28952221they also hate troons
>>28952277>can’t do math>is financially illiterate >opposes EVs for unexplainable reasons Checks out
>>28952315Who are you quoting Reddit fag?
>>28952250I'm not going to nitpick every point, but>Meaning I drove about 24,000km in that time.You're saying you, a European, drove more in 5 months than the average American drives in an entire year?Seems either you're full of shit, you're an outlier, or you're using it for some commercial service.
>>28952380i did that in straya, 50k km on two years, but that was largely because i manual swapped my car and drove the absolute snot out of it. so much fun with that thing as a daily and fun car...regret selling it fml.
>>28952431but yeah i dunno if he's just driving to a lot of places or something. i definitely wouldn't drive an EV for fun for that long. just launching it would get old pretty quick for me.
>>28952435EVs are nicer to drive in long sessions since there is no engine noise giving you migraine. Insanely nice quiet and calmness in EV cabin.
>>28952470We know. You EVfags keep repeating the same surface level things everyone learned about EVs 15 years ago as if it's supposed to blow our minds.
>>28952472Your other post implied otherwise. I have more fun driving an EV than engine car. I hear more distinct road sounds, can do precise maneuvers and do instant accelerations and deccelerations at a whim. It's simply superior to ICE in every way besides "muh revving up the engine feel".
>>28952475That wasn't my post, I just popped in and saw your post.Everyone knows they're quiet, 15 years ago the news made a big deal of it and it was one of the most normie selling points.Sorry bud, I don't like driving them. Shill your garbage somewhere else like reddit. I wasn't going to shit on them until you started bullshitting about "superiority," don't make me laugh.
>>28952470damn i pity you. the l6 and v8 i had/have sound extremely comfy and when you let it rip goddamn did they sound great
>>28952476It's ok to be poor. I will wave when I pass you by in my 400hp instant torque EV on the highway. All without the slightest sound. And then I go home and fill 'er up again for near free of charge.
>>28952483>Resorts to "b-b-but, actually, I'm rich for buying (leasing) product!"Cute. Also, you'd be too bored to do it. I have never seen an EV accelerate quickly or drive over 80mph IRL. Not once.
>>28952475Imagine driving an EV and claiming to be a 'car guy'. You are a shit driver who comes here to brag about your mediocre purchase, sitting in your silent juicero appliance, fuck off.
>>28952488>>28952486Seethe, 120hp hybrid drivers thinking they are OGs.
>>28952475>I have more fun driving an EV than engine car. I hear more distinct road sounds, can do precise maneuvers and do instant accelerations and deccelerations at a whim
>>28952489This is just sad. Nobody is going to jerk someone off for posting an M5, 911, or twin turbo shoopa on here. We definitely aren't going to jerk you off for leasing a boring, locked-down, and surveilled 4,000 lb+ battery pack on wheels. Go to the bathroom and jork it while repeating "I drive an EV" to your reflection in the mirror for better results.
>>28952491Show us your Taxi driver hybrid
>>28952495I'm pretty sure I know who that anon is, and you're really asking for it there. ;3
>p/oo/orfags still pretend they drive Porsches
>>28952489projection, you bought a model 3 fagmobile and drove over from reddit to brag about it on 4chan. you don't actually like cars, you just want to troll randos because you want to be vindicated in your purchase of a soulless grand canyon panel gap touchpad shitbox
>>28952498That Model 3 dabs all over your 120hp Goyota hybrid requiring Youtube videos just for an oil change. You're not driving a Porsche shut the fuck up.
>>28952501lol, bingo. there's lots of people way much more expensive cars than your shitbox. tons of techie scum use 4chan. why assume that you are somehow 'wealthy' when you are literally driving the toyota camry of the ev world? are we supposed to be impressed by your '400 hp', lol, fuck off, your car is a pigfat appliance
>>28952501I drive a 140hp miata. I drive faster than you do, guaranteed. I'm also wealthier than you are, guaranteed.Enjoy your apartment and leased zogbox.
>>28952505how can you hear the road for precise maneuvers with the loud engine of the miata?
>>28952504Model 3 > That riced out hybrid Goyota of yours
>>28952506Because I have hydraulic steering and double wishbones on all 4 in a car that weighs under 2,300 lbs. I *feel* it in my hands and feet.I also have eyes and know to look as far ahead as possible and turn my head toward where I'm going in corners.And, I have a real mechanical differential that's predictable so I know how much throttle I can use in a given corner without guesswork. Intuition gained from experience. That Tesla will randomly decide to dump torque to one wheel and the aids kick in.Also, what the fuck is this "hearing the road" bullshit anyway? You're just making stuff up now.
>>28952509miata might as well be a hybrid goyota with that stinky gas burning engine. why can't you charge your car like me? i got sentry mode so i can see when people key my car, i watch it always on my tesla mobile app, which is like a command center for my car. does your miata have sentry mode? Didn't think so. i purchased all of the tesla dlc to make my car faster too. Please pay attention to me.
>>28952512Pathetic bait
>>28952513just goyota driver seethe. busy silently passing you on my way down 405. bet you can't even use a supercharger
>>28952512Hey man, tone down the satire, it's too obvious.
>>289523801. I'm not european2. I drive about 200+km a day to get to work. My commute is 90 minutes one way. 3. The days i'm not driving it my wife is driving it to save on gas. Hence why I bought the thing in the first place.
>>28952529>I drive about 200+km a day to get to work. My commute is 90 minutes one way.Sounds like a personnel problem.
>>28952380>a EuropeanI'm euro-poor, this is all I can afford now, russian sanctions, hormuz blockade, gibts for ukraine, inflation... just nuke us already.
>>28952470>there is no engine noise giving you migraineI think you might have an autistic sensitivity to sound.
>>28952611Who isn't autistic?
>>28951667I imagine trucks are going to be targeted most. They probably have the biggest tanks and high off the ground so you don't even need to jack it.You can steal the cat while you wait for it to drain on top of that.
On the roads it was a white line nightmare. Only those mobile enough to scavenge, brutal enough to pillage would survive.
