Peter GleickThe best EV ad I've seen.
Seriously, if EVs had been first to capture the car market, people would have laughed at the ICE.

♾️ Roko's Apprentice ♾️@petergleick Great commercial. Somewhat related, somewhat unrelated: we drove by a car accident the other day between a Nissan Leaf and an Acura MDX. The leaf had rear-ended the Acura and it’s entire front was obliterated; the Acura had barely a scratch. Probably the first time I was made consciously aware of how lighter materials might fare more poorly than heavier ones when it comes to passenger safety.
Tim Foster@quinticben @petergleick How was the passenger compartment?
If it was intact, I'd say that was a success. As far as I know, for frontal impacts, the car is designed to fold up, to protect occupants.
(can't do that to thesame degree for rear impacts because that's where the petrol tank is in ICE cars)
@timfoster @petergleick Intact passenger compartment! Yep I've learned that crumpling is actually good (better?) for safety.
