Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

I found this episode of the TTAC Podcast to be incredibly elitist and stunningly ill-informed.

ToolGuy Doesn't matter, EVs don't work, even if they do I mean did they won't I mean wouldn't have the range to drive to the track. Plus the world is running out of electricity (and there is no way to make more). The panel gaps on EVs are aerodynamically problematic, especially Porsche. No one can afford EVs. There is no place (literally -no- place) to charge, and even if you do I mean could it will I mean would crash the U.S. electrical grid and there is no way to restart it, ever. Drivers will grow old and die waiting for the vehicle to charge. EV racing will never benefit the environment the way that ICE racing does and has and will. The batteries cost more than the vehicle and that cost goes up every minute. All electricity is dirty and nasty and not wholesome like petroleum. EVs are slow (as in the opposite of quick) and the point of a drag race is quick. I can't hear well because of ICE and what happens when a silent EV runs over me at the track? It is a good thing that the EV thing ended when it did and will never return. I for one am relieved.
