Im more likely to spontaneously combust in one of them which makes me very interested in them

Apparently there isn't the resources in the world to replace our current cars with them, so they seem a bit like luxury items.

Frankly I'd like to buy a horse.

Seem mostly fine to me, although I don't trust self driving features much yet. That recent vid of a Tesla randomly slamming brakes on a highway and causing an 8 car pile up reinforces that for me.

They definitely need to solve the issues with batteries though. Lithium and cobalt mining aren't exactly green and sustainable the way people like to treat EVs as.

i kinda like them. i could definitely see myself owning one, but maybe someday when the technology is even better, or if they havent been outclassed already, by, say hydrogen powered vehicles

i appreciate that theyre quiet, i fucking despise loud, annoying, wannabe racers with their fast & furious cars

Well, I'm poor and I live in a shithole that's frozen for eight months of the year, so no, I won't own one.

Only time I ever rode in one was with a client I got friendly with through a contractor working on his house and boat. He had an early days hybrid. Electric for most things, but ran on gas once the battery needed to charge. The thing had a stupid amount of acceleration to it and it always just felt weird to see the thing start moving without a sound.

Honestly though I don't think there's much that's "green" about them because they don't address the actual problem of pollution. Manufacturing batteries is a dirty process and we don't have decent containment methods for the waste of production.

A big chunk of the electric charging stations run on electricity created through burning coal or other shit. Real green, that.

And long term, EV's aren't viable because the materials to make the batteries won't be around forever. Depending on the battery type, you're looking at shit that's once it's extracted, it's gone for good. A little bit like the klondike gold rush.

A lot of our industries are going to either collapse or downsize considerably in the coming decades, which will cut into the methods and materials used to make them. Currently, I think EV's belong with the rest of current green tech trends.

They're a sham, and a good conman's get rich quick scheme playing to the market without solving any of the problems. That is unless somebody streamlines them.

i mean i get it, im not a car person but i know a lot of people love to hear a good sounding, uh, engine or exhaust (idk the lingo lol)

Listen to this and you'll change your mind
