I did not need to read past that. It is truly insulting and inconsiderate. The article is written by a jerk.
- 1970-01-01 5y agoThe jerk-author ain't wrong. People buy ICE for this very problem.
- bagacrap 5y agohe's wrong in the sense that there are other reasons not to buy electric: * price * options & availability * (for long trips) lack of charging infrastructure along desired route * lack of charging infrastructure at home also kind of a laugh to think that a person who buys a $70k luxury vehicle is saving life on Earth. I guarantee his carbon footprint could be smaller. Who's to judge what's small enough?
- 1970-01-01 5y agoI own an $80k EV and have a quantifiable negative carbon footprint. IMHO negative is small enough for me.
- FpUser 5y agoBeing/not being wrong and being a jerk are two different things. As for blanket reason. I have a rich friend. He has Tesla. He does not give a flying fuck about carbon footprint. The only reason he bought is is that famous acceleration.
