A cross the country, towns and cities of various sizes envisioned an electrified public transit system that could shuttle residents with vehicles that produced no carbon-filled exhaust.
Many of those communities purchased buses from Silicon Valley-based Proterra, which was able to produce 550 buses over its 19-year existence before it went bankrupt in August. More
Who could have seen this coming?
Welcome to the club, dumbass. This has been SOP in the Solar Panel industry for years. Two neighbors found out the hard way. The amount of money they had to pay contractors wiped out all their potential savings. The smarter of the two decided against an EV.
Good. Now Kamala Harris can suck all the bus drivers’ dicks.
The stupid shall punished. Sucks to be you.
…so good…

It’s gonna take awhile….a very long while for me to work-up some kind of ‘give-a-shit’.
Theeeeeee wheels on the bus go round and round…
Oops, no they don’t…
Gimme a nuther hit of Diesel brother!
Wait’ll the batteries ignite and burn the whole shit show to the ground. I sure hope the green genius governments didn’t also buy electric fire trucks.
I wouldn’t be above charging some fool in a hurry an exorbitant amount to get them where they’re going when the bus quits.
We had a massive infrastructure of electric trollies at one time in our major and even minor cities. Local governments happily took bribes from the big three automakers, ripped up all the tracks and other infrastructure, and saddled everyone with their horrible diesel busses. Now governments are screwing us all again for bribes, kickbacks and more. Government is the greatest evil ever created by man.
Interesting. 120 miles to the east of Proterra lays Siemens Transportation. They use to manufacturer LP powered public transportation system. Buses. Now they manufacture electric buses only. They’ve been hiring non stop since Captain Brain Dead was installed. My next door neighbor, a mechanical engineer, hired on there early on. The feds are pouring money into the place. To date they have delivered zero buses. The way it works out is, if it has to be subsidized it’s not a viable product.
Aaaaaaaand itz still a product in search of a market!
How ’bout a retrofit? Let the bidding begin on my old worn out 318 Detroit Diesel that still runs better than your new ‘lectric voodoo bullshit.

This is a huge win for the EV industry. Has the Govt ever abandoned a program with so big a budget, much less one intimately tied to the governing party’s ideology?
No, my friends, this is not a problem, but a glorious victory. You just have to put the right filter on your goggles.
