    "oil production is the #1 strategic concern of Saudi Arabia, and electric cars are their anathema."

    yes, oil currently is their no #1, but they are pouring money into renewables, they see the future better than Trump

    probably it'll make the people who continually without justification knock Tesla sit up and realise that EVs are the future and stop their childish snipping from the sidelines because they shorted Tesla

    When he tears their proofs down with factual scientific answers and they still deny the facts then deserve to be laughed at. Its like laughing at Trump for all the fake news he puts out.

    if you want some fun at the flat earthers expense, check out "scimandan" on youtube, he spends his time tearing their "proofs" apart with a bit of humour. It might make you feel better about starting the trend :) gives me a little time of light entertainment when having a cup of tea

    If everyone used their car/self driving cars/taxis then there would be gridlock. You need transportation that can carry a lot of people in one go. The mass transportation just needs to be made better, cleaner etc.

    you can go 300 miles without a bladder break? You have to change the way you approach "filling up" with EVs. You never let it go to 0 and then charge to 100%. Just plug it in during your bladder/tea breaks so you car is doing something useful rather than sitting in a car park doing nothing.

    There are apps to show where the unused chargers are so they don't have to waste their time going to the wrong place. thats the beauty of the EV revolution, all sorts of useful apps are created.

    and considering 90%+ journeys are short and around town, electric cars do make sense. people charge overnight at home so charging stations (i.e. not queuing up at smelly gas stations) not necessary for them unless on an longer distance trip.

    A lot of power inflation means better efficiency and economy and companies seem to need a "halo" model for encourage meaningless chatter. The 0-60 is a "I can piss higher up the wall than you" thing, more important is acceleration for overtakes - thats where they should produce measurements of note.

    "Faith" is the wrong word, i expect they meant "trust" and trust with a little Skepticism hence you read a number of sources. people, like trump and his cohorts, will try and "play" the reputable journalists as well so they may get things wrong but it usually ends up being corrected.

  24. Its the view the world over, not just the USA. All extremists of all flavours are empty vessel noisy, elitist because they think they know better and lose all ability to take criticism so they shut down discourse i.e. dictator tendencies and basically a blot on society

  25. Yep. But in Trumps case, he makes so many gaffs, tells so many lies i.e. he creates so much noise himself and thats what empty vessels
