  • outside the requirements of Florida law

    such careful language. maybe something like "against" instead of "outside"

  • The gall of these motherfuckers is truly astonishing. To be either so incredibly out of touch, or so absolutely shameless, makes me wanna call up every single school bully I ever endured to get their very best bullying tips

    • When EV startups shut down, will their cars still work?

  • nah I really think you got it wrong.

    big companies spend obscene amounts of money and effort researching how to manipulate and influence people effectively so they can make the most profit they can get away with.

    a catchy jingle is an obvious example. not really nefarious (i have strong nostalgia for local business jingles and slogans) tho.

    dark patterns on websites are a better example. like how it's really easy to sign up for amazon prime, but canceling amazon prime is impossible to do without having to use a search engine to find the obscure link to the cancellation page.

    if you think people influence companies more than the other way wrong, I really gotta urge you to consider another angle.

  • You really shouldn't be worried about Bolts specifically. Way more likely to have an ICE vehicle catch fire than an EV.

    And that massive Bolt recall means the used affected ones all have newer batteries anyways

  • My non-Tesla EV would only be affected by way of more Teslas at non-Tesla chargers. Which, to your point, would be a pretty significant impact to road trips.

    But neither I nor most people take road trips more than a few times a year, so even in this extreme case, the impact wouldn't be relevant ~95% of the time.

    And to the original topic, this wouldn't brick any EVs or anything like that.

  • There are no alternatives. Everything is predatory. Blaming consumers is ignorant.

  • do you also blame EVs for the same shit happening outside the auto industry?

    I'm trying to get across that this stuff would have happened even if Tesla never existed.

  • Why do you think that? What exactly about the motor spinning from electrons instead of hydrocarbons makes any difference?

  • that only shifts the problem to Apple and Google, neither of which can be trusted to keep supporting older versions of CarPlay or Android Auto as the years go by and they change shit around.

  • You shouldn't be happy about that, if for no reason other than other drivers (and pedestrians, cyclists, etc) are put at risk of these systems' limitations, and folks relying on them more than they ought to.

  • EVs certainly didn't create the option, but it became standard soon after EVs shipped with those features as standard.

    correlation doesn't prove causation - this was going to happen even if EVs never took off.

  • Plenty of ways to charge an EV without Tesla's superchargers. Sure, superchargers were their biggest selling point before dipshit fired the whole supercharger team, but it's not like any Tesla is bricked purely from lack of Tesla's charging network.
