I invite you to write the "rules" to any real world job in the space of the rules to Chess. I'm not talking about strategy, I'm talking about the rules.
Well it's not just me with these concerns, many people in my local news are asking the same questions. Or you can just ignore the people with concerns and go on your merry way.... ask France how that works out.
We have universal healthcare, but we still have to pay for ambulances.. otherwise people would use them as a free taxi to the hospital. Each ambulance ride costs the government $2K so we are encouraged to bring ourselves in as much as we can.
I like my macbook. It beats the hell out of my Lenovo IdeaPad which I was very disappointed with; but then that I bought two full years before my MacBook and it matched the capability for 1/5 the price ($1000) so I can't really complain about that either. It's just that Apple doesn't seem to focus on durability at all which really bothers me. In my mind, the key to designing a consumer level laptop is to make an assistant for life. A Thinkpad is like Tonto, it will ride through the dust and throw down if it has to. Macbooks are more like.. rare butterflies. And who wants a butterfly for an assistant.
We always drive for a full day. Pack a cooler, eat on the road. 8 hours later and a couple gas stops and we're at our hotel. We don't spend money on restaurants, it's just not something we want to do.
It's not about you, it is about me. We pack a cooler when we go on the road and only stop for gas stops. So no, I don't want to add "eating trips" that we wouldn't normally make because of charging.
We have four cats and four people. Occasionally my mother in law comes on trips with that and for that we need the third row of seating. The other day we filled the back of the Explorer to the roof with four people. What can I say, the Leaf can't keep up and I continue to look for an EV that could, and no I would never pay 175K for a Model X. $50K is pretty much my limit and I'm happy to say the Ford Explorer fits our needs just fine. It's not to say there won't ever be an EV that fills those requirements; in fact I hope so but for now there dorsn't seem to be.
But you payed a lot of money for a Tesla so you can use a supercharger. Most people aren't going to pay that much. They will have a Leaf. Would that have gone the same if you had a Leaf?
You're assuming there are no siblings that are also in California and living with the mother. Should they move too? What if they have jobs of their own and spouses with jobs?
Because a lot of vehicles now react if you have the fob and you touch the door handle, or if you have the fob and you sweep your foot under the back bumper. The point is to eliminate the necessity to touch the fob. I know my wife's is buried in her purse all the time and she never takes it out.
Yeah I don't buy that moving is a sign of upward mobility. Some people move for better jobs, but some move out of necessity or a chance to get *any* job. Furthermore, a society that moves around a lot of automatically weakened because family structures and communities are being broken down.
But my requirement for a charging station is higher than for a gas station. A gas station just has to be anywhere my car is when it is running out of gas. A charging station has to be somewhere I actually want to sit around for the time it takes to charge. I don't want to sit at a doughnut shop to charge if I don't also want a doughnut and coffee at that time.

Yep if my job was playing Go or Chess all day, I'd be pretty darn worried. What's next; Parcheesi? Tiddlywinks? Backgammon? Scary stuff.
I may have been the one on your lawn. :-)

Oh brother. It's not like we do it every day. And no we are not going to cause an accident.
And I've told people 100 times over, I"m not worried about when I am at home.
We pack a cooler and eat on the road. And yes we have piss breaks, not everyone holds the gas nozzle while the car is being filled.

They still make less when adjusted for age.
30 minutes isn't a "brief stop"
But we don't take breaks when we are driving as a family. We just stop at gas stations. It's how we roll.

Isn't technology great?
Don't feel bad. I remember the Jeffersons.

Also, the creation of charging stations may not keep up to the amount of EVs bought. The wait for one may very well increase as more people have them.

(Facebook/Google) used (something) to track people.
Can I filter these out? None of it is surprising, nor is there anything anyone can do about it.
Then you bought the wrong car.
