      I sometimes wonder how today’s media is going to be seen in 10-20 years, when EVs are much faster and cheaper than gas cars so they’ve completely taken over.

      “Mommy, why do the cars on TV all make fart sounds?”

        Electric cars are an attempt to save the automotive industry, not the planet. Demand public mass transportation and walkable cities instead.

            There’s a vicious circle where the less public service you’ll set in a rural areas the more people will move away from it. If you want people to moove back from dense to rural areas you got to give them some decent services.

              You can also have bus services to train stations. The busses would just need to be less frequent, so you would need to plan your travel further ahead of time. There is no reason we can’t service most of America with some public transport options.

        Electric cars will still be making fart sounds in 10-20 years. They already sell cars that generate artificial engine noise and play it through speakers.

          And yet the electric Mustang is totally silent. I’m still not sure how to feel about that, or the fact that someone decided that a muscle car should have an electric version

          There’s also an EV Corvette…
