  • We have enough land and material to build a shack for an EV that we wouldn't care about burning down. His major concern is the repairability: allegedly the service station can quarantine the car if the battery is a little too warm at cost to the owner and potentially never return it. And a lot of them "will just straight-up deny service" in fear of a HVDC electric shock, which is allegedly not deadly but forces the technician to undergo 5 days off work for electrolysis blood testing.

    A friendly German family bought a hybrid that isn't even plug-in... in 2023. It still has incandescent lamps. These people REALLY put very little thought into the real cost of keeping a gas engine running for 15 years, especially with projected gas prices in Germany (already 80% higher than here). At least I don't feel guilty because I had no say in that.

    Yes, my father finds the mechanic he goes to friendly but he needs to realize the EV alternative is not finding another but needing no mechanic for the most part.

    I don't have much money but I can cause some leverage by only allowing loans on my name on a pure EV, no matter the size. Even the mechanic said rental for the road trips is easier than we think, and when my parents travel alone even German trains are cheaper than fuel. The mechanic's views are certainly outdated, he also said EV owners keep running over cats at night because the cars are too quiet but they have mandatory speakers now.

  • Don't worry, every spare module in the cars, regardless of their drivetrain, has a chip that needs to be paired at great cost so they'll get people buying new cars anyway through cost of ownership alone. This fuckery started with electric cars to create FUD around them and protect legacy motor companies' decades of investments into engines.

    Our family will be buying a new car in 2-4 years. My father has doubts about EVs even though our use case is perfect for them: we drive 15 minutes to town and back, and the once-per-year road trips to Germany can be covered by their charging network; it's not physiologically feasible for any one of us to safely drive over 3 hours straight anyway. He is critical since the technician absolutely lambasted electric cars for how dangerous they are to work on, and that they are uninsurable in garages because of the fire risk etc. How do I convince him that it makes little sense to still use a gas or hybrid for the next 12-15 years?

  • undermine Trump's second presidency

    He's been impeached, convicted, and had an absolutely awful pandemic response, and noneof it ultimately mattered, he served his whole term and got a second one. Trying to hurt his reputation is a lost cause, not to mention JD Vance is the fallback.

  • They did paste it correctly but in Markdown, you have to type three. The first one escapes the second, and the third one escapes the underscore and prevents the pair from becoming an italics flag.

    1: ¯(ツ)
    2: ¯(ツ)
    3: ¯(ツ)

    The examples above are slightly fake: the unescaped right underscores in lines 1 and 3 would mark the start and end of another italics segment, so I escaped them to imitate what happens in a comment with no underscores except this kaomoji.
