Honestly, I think a lot of it comes down to Autism and other social/behavioral challenges that are absolutely boosted sky-high by being used by ruthless capitalist actors from a young age.
Not saying everyone in tech is a nice person at the core but being on the spectrum also specifically makes you vulnerable for propaganda.
On the other hand I have the suspicion a lot of lefties are on the spectrum as well. So maybe it does come down to personal choices.
Pah, scientists. Always so pessimistic. Do you remember what they said about Corona and masking? And it wasn't so bad at all, barely a cold. Few million old, poor people died but look at the economy!
I think "logical" for most libs (at least in Europe) just means "common-sense", i.e. propaganda.
According to German Natopedia it's a shuttle that Tesla pays for and is allowed to operate only until the regular train station is moved by a few hundred meters closer to the factory (in 2026). So I guess in this case it absolutely makes sense to lease a battery powered train for the trainsition period.
But yeah, the reporting is pure brain worms for an entirely mundane regional public transport process.
