If you want to spite this guy, ride a bus.

Or a train. He realllly hates trains. If they're not in stupid-ass evacuated tubes and separated into pods, that is.

Techbros love reinventing trains https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5M7Oq1PCz4

I knew it was gonna be Adam Something, lol. That dude has the best Elon roasts.

And a train can even be greener than his silly cars with direct electrification via 3rd rail or overhead catenary.

That's fair, but Musk has specifically complained about FCEVs before.

[–] ch00f@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, but he’s right about that part. Hybrid cars are just BEVs with more steps that can’t be recharged at home. Maybe useful for planes and other specific applications. Dumb for cars.

You do not have to hand it to Elon Musk. If home charging is the big benefit of BEVs, then why do "fast" charging stations have to get built everywhere? Tesla et al are just enshittifying refueling!

[–] HerrBeter@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

What

[–] CrimeDad@lemmy.crimedad.work 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Think about it. What are you supposed to do while you're stuck charging for however long it takes? Scroll ads? Go spend money at a nearby business, hoping that you can get in and out before you get dinged for occupying the charging station for too long? Apparently, some charging stations even take reservations like Dorsia. No thanks!

[–] HerrBeter@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I recognize you don't own nor drive BEV

[–] CrimeDad@lemmy.crimedad.work 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You're correct. Maybe someone who does can explain the special appeal of a personal vehicle that requires 20+ minutes for a partial refill if you drive it too much.

[–] HerrBeter@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Because it's not a problem 👍

[–] CrimeDad@lemmy.crimedad.work 1 points 4 months ago

Okay sure.
