It's silly, but as a kid I once turned on the TV to Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life", and in particular, the scene where an enormous man is fed so much that he explodes. Still haunts me to this day.
A coworker asked me if I had any eclipse glasses, and when I said I didn't, she replied "guess I'll have to drive home with my eyes closed". Another one told me she didn't want anything to do with the eclipse, and that she'd stay inside with the blinds closed.
Misunderstandings and misinformation are out of hand.
I agree. The main advantage over an ICE is for small trips. Small trips is also the reason my gas consumption is so low. It's also the reason I'm about to replace the car completely for a cargo e-bike and public transit ;)
I don't have anything that I dislike in particular, I just feel that by trying to be two things, it does both poorly. My main criticism is the massive weight, which is inefficient. You're either lugging a heavy (quickly emptied) battery around, or a heavy motor and tank of gas that you're not using (I keep mine at a quarter full for that reason). I'm not saying don't buy a plug-in hybrid, I'm just saying that I'd recommend going fully electric instead.
I was aware of that, but had imagined that newer machines would have slowly migrated to something else. I'm also always astonished by the fact these are running full OSes.
