This map shows the cost of charging an EV at home across the U.S. Home-charging is significantly cheaper in all 50 states than fueling a car with gasoline.

@Sheril

How much does it cost to use an electric train?

Where is the infrastructure for mass transit?

Why are personal vehicles still hailed as a viable answer to climate change's problems?

The sea is rising ever faster.

Elon's cars aren't helping anyone but Elon, and he's digging underground to hide from the rising tide.

@Sea1Am @Sheril other companies make EVs, not just Tesla.

More trash for the heap. What is your point?

@Sea1Am @noodlemaz @Sheril What's yours? You're in favour of restricting disabled people to their homes? And you know that public transport can be EVs too? Trains, buses, etc. There are reasons for transport which aren't just individual people as well.
Why do you think it's an either/or? And I wouldn't touch a Tesla with a ten foot pole either but he's hardly the only option these days.

In my ideal world disabled people wouldn't need cars at all. Ever heard of a 15 minute city?

In fact, I would rather people just left cities entirely and lived in small communities taking care of each other like we did before we were all enslaved by people like Elon Musk.

I'm sick of people pretending they're saving the world by buying an electric car, it's a lie.

Stop fooling yourselves. It's pathetic.

@Sea1Am @ariaflame @noodlemaz @Sheril Be the change you want to see in the world. Go live your life in a little communal town. Then once you're there (after you've worked your sustainable farm plot, shorn your sheep, contributed to the community goods, and helped your neighbor build their barn) you can safely scold others on the internet for living unsustainable lives.

@noodlemaz @Sheril @Jumpmed @Sea1Am @ariaflame Unacknowledged slavery to capitalism. You’ll be begging the Seas for the knowledge to live after your greed lets the billionaires of the world squeeze you for every bit of life in you. Your privilege will be your downfall.

I am building towards my goal, thanks. I am not rich like Elon Musk, so I can't do it all myself in one day. There is no reason to hold my opinions until I have reached some goal post set by someone who is in denial, and doesn't want to change.

I have made many sacrifices, and I will continue to do so, whether you like it or not.

Have a good day, kiddo.
