The rolling virtue signal. Maybe they should just get rid of turn signals on EVs altogether (because obviously the right turn signal would be capitalist and the left turn signal would be socialist) and go with a standard virtue signal that flashes whether you want to make a right or left turn.EVs are not environmentally friendly. The pic is a joke, but the resources required to build those feel good machines are significant and totally left out of EV discussions.

That's the funniest thing I've read so far today!California is the ultimate HOA (Home owners association). Self important people coming up with and enforcing ideas nobody wants.
Okay, so they recycle the metal. I began to reply that much is plastic, then reminded myself that we are discussing the trucking industry in this post. They are still mostly metal. But, even the metal recycling process creates carbon along with the process of creating the replacement vehicle, which has a ton of plastic on it generated from oil. These policy makers are dumb and short-sighted.Metals from automobiles is recycled. Not sure about tires/etc.
I think the bulk of most automobiles is metal - at least for now.
Lithium from EVs is a recycling issue.
When biden went to Europe a few days ago they brought 80 vehicles, many were electric. They fed the diesel generators they brought with them "green" biodiesel.. that they also flew over to charge them with.EVs are not environmentally friendly. The pic is a joke, but the resources required to build those feel good machines are significant and totally left out of EV discussions.

The cab/body of most modern trucks is plastic/fiberglass now. The bulk of the weight is the frame & drivetrain (whether ICE or EV powered).Okay, so they recycle the metal.

Another thing they conveniently leave out...the roads they complain about as their rolling virtue signal blows out a tire. Both these items have petroleum as a primary ingredient.EVs are not environmentally friendly.

Hah! The only slow destruction with a Prius is how it destroys my inner harmony as it moseys along blocking the passing lanes on roads and highways.
You're driving slower too b!tch, get outta my way.
My brother is an OTR trucker for decades. He runs between Sparks and LA, and he says these supply chain excuses comin' from DC are nothing but BS.Where Are All the Truck Drivers? Shortage Adds to Delivery Delays
The trucking industry has churned through drivers for years. The pandemic has made the job even harder, and businesses say the worsening shortage is holding back the nation’s ability to keep goods moving.www.wsj.com
WHAAAAA???? Say it isn't so! Brandon would never lie to us.these supply chain excuses comin' from DC are nothing but BS.
They are going to get busier with a lot more opportunity. Container ships that used to go to California are being diverted to Texas and Florida where they ARE getting unloaded. Haven't heard if Seattle is picking up any of that action, but what used to get railed and trucked out of CA will now be headed west instead of east.My brother is an OTR trucker for decades. He runs between Sparks and LA, and he says these supply chain excuses comin' from DC are nothing but BS.
He also says it's a drivers' market out there right now. He likes where he's at, so he's not looking to change outfits.
Well.....I could see that The CCP doesn't want to buy products from us (the USA). So.....Empty shipping containers pile up in LA while China has shortage
Los Angeles ports are buried under 40-foot shipping containers, but across the sea, Chinese businesses are begging for them.news.yahoo.com
IMHO....FACEPALM: Los Angeles Will Fine Cargo Ships That Can't Unload
"Los Angeles ports will fine cargo ships waiting to unload their goods in an attempt to relieve congestion that is as desperate as it is gobsmackingly stupid.It's a fine so pointless and wrong that, of course, Presidentish Joe Biden has chimed in with his support for it.According to CNBC, the White House is "hopeful" that fines will "ease the intensifying logjam of cargo ships" waiting to unload at Long Beach and the Port of Los Angeles. Together, the two account for 40% of the country's seaborne imports.Carriers will have to pay "$100 per day for each container lingering past a given timeline" starting on the first of the month. Containers moved by truck will have nine days before they'll start paying, and containers moved by rail will have just three days. ..."
Ironically enough, Prius appear to be targeted more than others for cat converter theft. So…about that destroying the environment thing…
