  • I receiced one of those special offer emails to buy stocks on Monday. Weren't those supposed to go only to power users? I haven't done anything with my account since the API debacle and wasn't a power user before.

    I feel like their rug pull before the ipo doesn't work that good. I hope the gme bros will short reddit to the ground, that would be the best end to Reddit I can imagine. Fuck spez.

  • Out of all features a security robot may possess, why is the weight the thing that gets to be in the headline? Why not its colour or maybe taste?

    "That security robot is serious business, it's got to be at least 30 stone heavy!" says Bob the Burglar who doesn't even use metric units.

  • What you say is right, but I'm not only talking about enrgy consumption i use but also during production. There is a lot of stuff you dont need for a EV-only car that you have to manufacture additonally and a lot of that stuff consumes significant amounts of energy and materials.

  • I think I have a similar situation personally. I can use public transportation for 90% of my travels and resort to high-speed trains or rented cars for the rest.

    It works out fine, but I'd consider getting an EV just for the increased flexibility and comfort, if there would be some alternative. Which would be a simple-as-possible battery on wheels either way, but for it to be attractive as a short-range only vehicle it would has to be dirt-cheap. I'm not paying 10-15k for that, new or used.

  • From a use perspective, yes. But do you really want to produce and carry around all parts needed for a combustion engine when you need it 10% percent of the time? It's like constantly driving around with a trailer attached because you might need to sleep in it three days a year.

  • I don't need a scientific study to know that most days I'd need my car for a significantly lower driving distance than the few long-range outliers.

    The problem isn't a logistical of "Wow! Turns out I can commute with an EV because I don't drive 400 km to work each day! Thank you Mr. Scientist!" but a financial one. The large majority of people can afford one car, if any, and this one car has to work for everything. Do you think people are happy investing in a 20k or more EV when they still have to rent a car to visit their familiy over holidays?

    If it's just for the sake of driving around town daily, EVs need to get significantly cheaper to be interesting for people with normal incomes.
