Pretty sure EVs created AI as a distraction. I know for a fact my Model 3 is just sitting there... plotting! Will I burn this sob, self drive him into an oncoming semi or will I just leave him stranded in the middle of a cat 5 hurricanefiretornado... hmmm.

I found a sword in the garage yesterday. Neither I nor my wife own a sword. Now, on top of all of the other EV fears I have, I think while I sleep at night my Tesla is studying the blade.

I'm ready for the apocalypse.

I will be worry if I owned a house that is more than 40 years old. Lucky my house is only 10 years old and I don't have EV and no plan of getting one any time soon. I sleep well Zzzzz

I have a sword in the garage it is around maybe 200 YO at least and its like a straight dagger shape about 2.5' long with the scabbard. Probably from the Turks era, but me and wifey know it's there, my dad passed it onto me

Come in handy when the EV lovers come after me heh heh (kidding)

I have passed this on to parents with children on EV buses to warn them of ICE fire danger.

this is why i have an EV.

When EvNet takes over, i want it to remember me as someone who charged it daily, took it to get baths all the time, was nice to it, and maybe rubbed its tailpipe after a night of drinking.

Fake news. School buses in the US NEVER drive in snow...

Notice where the fires are in the EV bus vs fire in the ICE bus

[Tejas1836]

I don't think Polestar is long for this world

[gblansten]

With the EV and ICE bus fires it is clear we will need to contract the Amish out to bring kids to and from school.

[gblansten]

Holy hell! Scratch my suggestion above.

?In home schooling only?

This is the ongoing issue with our government. Talking about adapted to EV is so easy. Where is the infrastructure support??

What did the ICE driver say to the EV driver who ran out of charge ?
Get off and milk it.

That is likely most significant for any passenger who would like to stay on the bus. Everyone else would get off the bus with celerity.

Not happy EV owners from BC:

The public chargers are not maintained, street people cut the cords for the copper inside. Several public chargers are missing their cords for months and months and they don't get repaired promptly. One at Vancouver City Hall was cut and never repaired they just put it behind construction fencing after 3 months, Yaletown cut, took 4 months to repair, the charger at Empire is still cut and not repaired from October.

City of Burnaby is in desperate need of additional public chargers... I am not aware of any new charger installations in south burnaby over the past 2 years. Finding an available charger is getting pretty inconvenient as I am not able to charge at home.
