It's always right to survive.
If 180 miles were sufficient, ICE cars would have settled into a rough 180-mile range average.
They settled into 425.
Great. Mandate WFH and build public transit then. Until that's done, we need cars.
My work laptop is fine except for how the Windows key fell off randomly after 6 months.
all motorized personal vehicles and their attendant infrastructure should be eliminated
I live in New Jersey, so
Nuff said.
In before a deluge of made up bullshit about how this can't be true because If ElOn BaD tHeN cAr GoOd ImPoSsIbLe
It's completely possible for Elon to be a dickhead and for there to be redeeming qualities to the products his company sells.
It's completely possible for a car to be terrible in some ways (aesthetics, visibility, lighting in snow, many other things) and still be very good in others.
It's completely possible for a very bad car to be constructed in a way that keeps its occupants safe in a collision.
It's completely possible to dislike something without making up lies about it (random explosions, crash danger).
Every Tesla model ever tested has gotten a 5 star rating. There is video and photo evidence. The testing procedures are standardized. This is because TESLA PRIORITIZES OCCUPANT SAFETY IN ITS DESIGN PROCESS AND ALWAYS HAS. If you know literally the VERY FIRST THING about modern EVs, you know that.
Elon is a colossal, cataclysmic turd of a man and he deserves any hell that could be created for him, but making up uninformed bullshit about cars out of spite does absolutely nothing to stop him or to harm him. It does the opposite by distracting from what's actually a problem.
Should you buy a Tesla? Absolutely fucking not. Buy a Rivian or a Chevy if you need a huge EV (you don't). And then live with the flaws of those executives and their unconscionable history instead of Elon, because we happen to live in a time when Elon's sociopathy is marginally more relevant than that of other executives.
If my wife has to be in a car in a nasty crash and I get to pick the car she's in at the time, then fuck all of y'all - I'm picking the Tesla.
As a general rule, nothing curated by an algorithm is genuine.
Iterate that for an algorithm controlled by an American corporation.
Then iterate it again for Musk.
Combine that with everyone having left Twitter who isn't maga.
No, your experience on Twitter is not representative of the average American.
Yes, actually. Rational response. Good on him.
It's called bullying.
They're bullying you.

Trump is a perfect representation of Christian values.
Christians value convenience, tribal dominance and subjugation of outsiders, and the avoidance of accountability for their actions. Every bit of the history of Christianity reinforces that. He's as Christian as it gets.
If you want to talk about the teachings ascribed to the mythos of Jesus, Christianity is the last place to look.
