the heat of the desert is way outside of their operating range.
I live in the Phoenix area, there are tons of solar installations here. In fact my house has solar, had it when we bought it 10 years ago, and it cuts the power bill in half.
I'm sorry, but citing "real life therapists" is very weak indeed. They're trained professionals, sure, but that doesn't mean they have any better grasp of research methodology or statistics than anyone else.
I excelled at taking tests. One of my particularly exceptional (now useless) abilities was to deduce the answer to one question based on the wording of another question.
You're still ignoring the argument that a hybrid doesn't have a typical vehicle alternator, it has a charging system that's whole job is to generate electricity from the engine, and do that efficiently and reliably, and it has an electric a/c compressor.
I'm sure it depends on the implementation... I turned it off on my Kia Sorento after it tried to follow the seams in the concrete instead of the lane markings, I had to fight it quite hard.
My son was born with a heart defect. VSD if you're curious. Basically, the most important thing is to eat, gain weight, and outgrow it. What do you think is the one thing we can't get him to do? He's now 8 years old and just a hair over 50 pounds. He's normal height for his age, but skinny as a rail. He refuses to eat anything but chicken nuggets and french fries, and a handful of other things, the only vegetable we can get him to eat is carrots. Yes, I've googled how to feed him a few times, but without much success.
I told them if it pops up to let me know...
