Can you imagine getting stuck behind 2 people at a charging station? Even if it takes 20mins to charge to full, it would be a gigantic pain in the arse. There’s no way this is feasible on a mass scale

It’s not feasible to build more charging stations?

Have you ever heard of daisy chain chargers?

You plug in one battery to an outlet. Plug the other battery into the he first and on and on and All the batteries get charged.

There’s simple solutions to every impossibility you’re stuck on.

We go green or the planet heats up and all the crops die.

Take your pick.

It’s about serviceability. Say you replace every single fuel station with ev chargers, you are still going to have chaos given it takes 2mins ish to fill up a tank vs 20. Also, people are going to be pedants about their chargers, extremely fast chargers are just going to chew the batteries. A car with a shelf life of 8 years? Where the second hand market blows? That equates to far more problematic mining of lithium, which is definitely not good for the environment, plus producing a tonne of car waste. Then there is the reality that every single city in the world is packed to gills already, what you going to do? Bulldoze parkland for ev stations?

Put solar panels on the 53’ trailer and you increase the range considerably.

There’s solutions to every problem.

Before airplanes we were building tall buildings for blimps.

We will solve every problem. We have too.

I’m not denying there is a problem, but the reality is that you (we) are being SOLD the “solution”. Aka people are profiteering and shifting the burden of responsibility onto the general public

Look up the original Tesla, Nicholas - the Wardenclyffe Tower. This new Tesla shit is a scam and is intentionally masking the real solution, so people that laugh at you (us) can profiteer

If you buy a gallon gasoline and burn it who is responsible for those emissions you or Exxon? What about for the food you eat? What about for the clothes you wear? At some point you need to take responsibility for your actions
