Where I've been at since the genesis of the EV. I'm genuinely happy that y'all are finding ways off combustible fuel; but if I can't maintain my car in any driveway or parking lot in Amerika in under an hour myself? If I have to get predatorily scammed by either the manufacturer's in-house mechanics, or a fuckin Firestone every time one of the 100,000 computers in the motherfucker goes out?
Nope, I'm staying my ass on the internal combustion car. Make an EV as simple, as clean, and as unadorned as the cars my dad and granddad drove, or I'm not checking for it.
I'm just praying we get access to Chinese EVs in the next 3-4 years.
I don't want to buy a Tesla but I do want an affordable EV. I'd prefer Chinese.
