Electric cars are dumb as hell because they do nothing to alleviate the actual environmental and societal costs of cars, which is the immense amount of infrastructure that has to be devoted to them.

IMO one shouldn't buy Ikea because the founder was a Nazi piece of poo poo who hid all his money in Benelux tax-shelters.

a reasonable solution to climate change would be war-time mobilization of the economy to move to other energy sources, investing in public transportation and infrastructure, and massive research into the damage we've already done and how to prepare for the change if your solution is to hope some capitalist messiah sells cheap electric cars then lol

babypolis posted:how the gently caress are you going to solve the climate crisis by selling luxury cars to rich assholes By developing the technology until it's efficient and affordable, which is what most car companies are trying to do. Non-Tesla EVs are already getting there, especially in terms of used vehicles. Hybrid technology seemed dumb and overpriced until it was mature, too. Realisitically this early-stage development should have been happening decades ago, but the petroleum industry fights every inch of the way and most car companies are huge, slow, protective of their profit margins, and very conservative.

babypolis posted:sure but we still shouldnt have personal cars Well yeah and our stupid-rear end cities should be laid out completely differently and also we shouldn't be under the yolk of capitalism. None of that changes the fact that EVs of all sorts are, broadly speaking, a step in the right direction.

I vaguely recall that the plan was to bus all the rurals into silicon valley, but that plan may have died with the Hillary for America campaign. Admittedly, I did not Check Out The Website, so I can't be sure.
