Literally every single person that I talked to that seriously tried an EV (like, as a daily driver for some time, not just the rental you had for a day) said they were never going back to combustion engines.
“I tried to remain inside the triangle, sir. Gravity, however, pulled me towards the door until I was firmly pressed against it.”
Especially battery electric cars that burn without oxygen should do that to contain the fumes which otherwise would endanger people nearby.
That’s a great idea that’ll absolutely save the day!
causing the wheel to fall off, increasing the likelihood of a crash.
I agree with that assessment.
You still explaining your analogy implies that you still think it’s applicable though. My point is that it isn’t.
Except that in your analogy, the carpenter was working on his own passion project for free.
It’s not.
I work in software. We recently banned that shit. “It’s not going away” my ass, so far all I’ve seen LLMs do is produce a lot of crap nobody could maintain afterwards while seemingly making the people using it dumber in the process.
But I already had my pitchfork ready!
Sorry, but can’t relate. Had that feeling for the first few trips until the first one where we drove so much more efficiently that we deliberately did not take the first planned stop. I rode shotgun, so I then looked for alternative spots to charge, just to see that there are so many in my country that having planned those routes in the first place literally doesn’t make sense.
Since then we just drive. Once we get below 50 km remaining range, we check some map app for the next charger. Like we did with gas stations.
Also, coming from practicality… it’s just so nice not to have to use gas stations. Like, you usually just always start whatever you do with a full battery because you just charge it overnight. No gas stops on my commute is quite practical.
