You're mantra has been that you "accept whatever is coming." But what is your position / opinion on how California and the federal government are setting the stage for the electric future?

That’s why New York is second state to do a no new gas sale ban by 2035. 2 big congested areas. Cali, and New York, or nyc the 5 boroughs etc. It makes sense for them to do it this way. You can argue about politics again how they’re forcing this and I already agreed that it should transition naturally but at the same time I said what can we do about it? Nothing. That’s why I said if you guys want to make a difference, at the next election vote for someone who can “reverse”, or “prolong” this process. It’s gonna happen regardless but when exactly is the real question. If there is no push back you can be sure this is going to happen very soon. And yes I do “accept whatever happens”. Just for reference, I have NEVER VOTED IN MY LIFE. That just cements how I don’t care what happens and that I agree with whatever happens. |

Funny how we lived almost a century without needing to depend on the internet to refuel. Road signs such as "gas, next exit" got the job done.
Now according to this article https://www.jdpower.com/cars/shoppin...ic-ev-chargers, not only do you need nav to find a charger, but you also have to find one with the correct fitting for your vehicle and hope the charging station is operational and not approaching technical obsolescence. And then you can get 3/4 of a "tank" in half an hour. What wonderful progress we are making.

But in general, getting up-to-date location information will trump old folding maps and BS like that from 50 years ago. That's also why car nav systems are a losing battle, since updates on phones on construction and businesses are generally real-time, vs. what's stuck in a nav database. But yeah. We should go back in time to when tech and life was worse.

I do not care for politics. So if the government is doing this the wrong way I don’t give a fuck. I like ev, I like the idea of it, I love mine, and I’m ok with this “ban” that they want to put on ICE. |

Online stores have taken over putting some businesses in jeopardy. Soon dealerships will have no salesmen. You buy your cars online. This will be more apparent once ev fully take over. Since all of them will “be the same”, there is no need for a test drive. You get your economy ev, performance, high performance or a supercar ev, all a click away from your home computer and the car arrives at your house. The future is looking awesome! |

That said, by "depend on" I literally mean being able to reach your destination in an unfamiliar area without totally discharging your battery on wheels depends on web-enabled routing. With gas you can get off most any exit on most roads and find a gas station within several miles. Charging stations? Good luck with that. And as I understand the old New England mantra, "You can't get there from here." holds true in some cases even with routing.

Aye, it is scary how many people have this attitude. Looking back at history, it appears to be part of the endless cycle of human nature and I question if we will ever evolve past it: Peace & prosperity breed complacency & arrogance, despots rise, the dystopian spiral, revolution, war, death, rebirth, peace, prosperity, complacency & arrogance, despots rise, blah, blah, etc, etc. The broken record continues to play.

Which (besides your bodily functions) would be what? Because when left to fate, we really we don't control much of anything. You can choose a different route home and get killed in an accident - or on your usual route.

230 mile semi truck range? Sure to be an economic boon for truck stops and freelancers offering happy endings at the charging stations there.
