how is it any different than a lifted pickup truck blocking an electric charging station?

while I don't agree with the method at all, There are too many people who need trucks and suv's daily and can only afford the one vehicle. I do see the similarity how others are getting attacked the other direction.
It may be because I havent had my coffee yet but that statement made no sense and it is different than the idiots blocking chargers because that doesn't involve tampering and damaging private property

I don't disagree but unlike the members of that party I like to follow the very reasonable rules ie the forum rule about avoiding politics
You make a valid point.. there is a fine line . however,
I'm just saying that the thread may belong elsewhere, since " the Vandals Targeting Gas Guszzlers" is a 100% politically motivated group and can only be addressed in kind.
Leaving any discussion of resolution moot (or at least difficult) without addressing the cause.

The very definition of "politically correct" has always been that...
"You are not allowed to speak the obvious" :lipssealed:;)

From my point of view, I really didn't see this thread as inherently political, at least, not from the standpoint of creating tension and discontent between members with differing political viewpoints.

Like pretty much every other thread I have read on this forum, the members here (even the ones who want to create good natured tensions) are almost without fail courteous and respectful of each other.

But I will admit, I may be the most insensitive to hurt feeling of anyone on the planet, so take what I say with a grain of salt... :)

It is here cause our vehicles could be considered gas guzzlers and are likely targets

Mine isn't a gas guzzler yet, but by the time I get it leveled, get those big old K02's mounted up, it will be a lot closer to the definition.

Now, if I could just find a convenient Supercharger location I could park in, maybe I would have earned somebody's wrath, hope they only let the air out of my tires, this is Idaho you know... :)










You all know I was just kidding right? ;)

This whole thread is like asking a politician a question and getting an answer that does everything but answer the question.

Talking politics is tough to do now a days and even tougher on an open forum as there's to many opinions. With that said even though the article was political this thread hasn't crossed any lines. Mentioning the word government is ok and while some links and conversations walk a fine line I think MOST here know when not to cross it. Like the old saying goes "some things are better left unsaid". :wink::lipssealed:

You mean that I cannot charge my gas guzzlers battery or my boat battery at a charging station? How far will a $1 worth of 110v get me. ROTFLOL

I service a lot of bicycles so I usually have a 12V compressor and a couple of valve cores in the truck.
May not be a bad idea along with a plug kit.

Yeah its a good thing to have in general or you could go full send and use this as an excuse to get an onboard compressor and tank
