No argument there. I’m in the north and they’re the same here, just less willing to openly share their “views”. I think the only real difference between the south and the north is that up here they still (somehow) maintain the slightest amount of shame- at least enough to mostly keep their mouths shut about it.

I would agree if we lived in any form of a reasonable world. They are NO WHERE NEAR afraid enough.
I say temporarily allow it. Let them out themselves in public as much as they like for a while. Let them fuck around so that they might find out.
You win.
I’m not convinced it’s practical to even BECOME a lawyer without lying.
I drive a 2024 and it has absolutely no internet connection what-so-ever. I’m glad it works for you. I rent and so do most of my friends, so from my point of view it’s completely unattainable.
So- genuine question here, not baiting. So assuming your 4G/etc (telemetry soaked) connection is working, how often would you wind up stopping to charge “up another X percent” along the way? It sounds like it would be having you stop more often than every few hundred miles?
The home charging scenario is great, near perfect experience FOR SURE, but there are cases where it’s not possible, like renters.
So I’m not at all opposed to electric cars, but I’m on the old side and what I’m not “for” is spending time charging enough, planning my next charging stop, rather than “filling up” and “there’s one on any exit, whenever I see fuel is low again”.
Maybe it will reach that point some day, but if I want to go sightseeing or go to somewhere interesting, I don’t want the whole trip being highly stressfull stops of “OK where do we plan to stop next and for how long”.
At that point I’d much rather take a train, and yes I know how insulting that is considering it would be AmTrak here in the united states of late stage capitalism.
7 MINUTES?! 7 minutes. To full. FROM EMPTY?!* 7. minutes.*
I don’t believe you. The last video I saw about road tripping with an EV was last year- this one.
That’s not unreasonable but I’m in a mood today so Get the heck out of here with your REASONABLE ARGUMENTS! :)
The problem is that what you actually do a roadtrip, (and you’re not charging at home on a normal “commute” day) is sit on your ass and do absolutely nothing for 45 to 90 minutes at a gas station in the middle of fucking nowhere, hoping no hick “jeds” see you hanging out at the Tesla charger and approach you to tell you that “yuu got a perddy mouf”.
Do you remember this scene in the admittedly pretty weird movie Waterworld?
That. Bring it.
If there were an alien craft hovering in a corn field I’d sprint to it with my thumb up screaming GET ME THE HELL OUT OF HERE
Let it burn.
Yes that’s understood and particularly great, leaving orgs/people to self host. I’m all for it.
My first gut reaction was “Neat, but no thank you” but the more I think about how many clients COULD be using a cloud hosted privacy respecting platform instead of 365, I quickly bit my lip.
Good
