I searched "YouTube addiction" and it came back "See jasin1@ Keystoneforums ..."

everyone is addicted to something in this world…some it’s booze..others it’s oreos
being a youtube addict isn’t so bad in the grand scheme of things…i don’t watch any other tv for the most part at all…youtube let’s me actually learn something while being entertained.

Don't take chiding as criticism or hating, it's actually quite the opposite personally speaking for myself.

Obviously we are a loooong way away from these being row vehicles. Love how they sacrificed 100 miles of range in the hybrid to gain 24 on the lightening.

I doubt if many of us come here all excited about reading of other's RV troubles. We need a few videos and funnies, even some strong debates to keep our interest.
But I will say that I hope no one posts that video of the truck pulling the Keystone through and around the Dairy Queen again. It made me feel badly that a Ford struggled to get the job done....

I’m not a Ford lover by any means, in fact I doubt I’ll ever own one., but In the trucks defense, it was the tires that failed, not the Ford. He was smoking them, so the issue was not power, it was grip. Need a close up to see what tires he had so I know not to buy those.

With 402 miles of I-80 running across Wyoming there will need to be 8 charging points. And at $500K for each charger, just how many can the state afford? And based on the video of the Lightning making it 86 miles pulling a 6000 pound TT, I'm doubtful that 50 miles is adequate over in some of the mountainous areas for an EV towing anything. And we know some of those counties just don't have the resources to pay their "fair share". And just how did we arrive at the $500K price per charger in the first place? I have a feeling that some palms are getting greased here. I guess Washington needs to print some more money.....

How many amps does it take to charge the Lighting?

[Canonman]

OK, here's something I really can't wrap my head around.
We are currently exporting an average of 270,592 Thousand Barrels of Liquid Petroleum each month since January of '21 thru April '22. Total exports during that time was 4,329,472 thousand barrels.
Fuel Shortage??? I don't think so.

Here's a link to the numbers. Please let me know if I've got this wrong. https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/pet_mov...EEX_mbbl_m.htm

The real problem is the US refineries are running wide arse open, about 95%. One little hiccup, one bad hurricane, one bad fire and we are up excrement creek without propulsion.
Also depends on EIA definitions. I think we just legalized a few years ago the exporting of the first liquids off the wellhead separator. Something about the definition of "refined" products.

Campers beware! The EVs are coming to the campground near you. This video is hilarious!

I love clueless people! I would guess that at most the pedestal is on a 70 amp breaker, more likely less! Older parks may have eight 30 amp sites on a double 70 amp breaker four on each leg.
The thought is there is four outlets on the pedestal I can use them all!
It is bad enough when you have people the don’t understand the limits of a 30 amp outlet, compared to 50 amp outlet and try to run the AC along with the water heater, and microwave!

Say it isn’t so George. There isn’t a 2 for 1 deal in interventions.

I just thought that it was a funny video. They looked like folks who would go all in on an EV. Plugged their 50A power cord in without first turning off the breaker and thought it was a 30A outlet. I have a sneaking suspicion that campgrounds will have to be monitored in the future if EV owners look at them as a source for a quick charge up so they can get down the road.

I feel sorry for them. They have no clue what they are doing and yet they got you to spread their message. This is the downside of YouTube IMO.
