Automakers and consumers alike have lost out on federal support for EV adoption.
Tesla bucked the trend, seeing registrations for its vehicles rise.

Once my 2007 Grand Prix expires I’ll be going backwards, looking for a nice Pontiac from the early 2000’s or older. I prefer to do all my own maintenance as much as possible, and the new vehicles are concerning to say the least. They can keep all their electrical gadgets that will be non-functioning in five years or less.
I have zero desire for an EV. If they can shut off your power they can keep you from being mobile. They could do the same with ICE vehicles but it would take more effort to get that done. I’ll be using older ICE vehicles until I’m gone or they force me out of them.

Watching train wreck crossing videos. One guy in a tesla had a camera in his car filming this. Coming up to a RR crossing , tesla going about 40 mph, car would not come out of some mode,train going thru crossing gates down he swerved down the stone's beside the tracks. Car showed some front end damage. He said this is not the first time. Thinking about a lawyer.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
