If it wasn't fun there wouldn't be an entire yearly charity car rallying event focused on driving from Poland to some other city and country ~2500km away from the start.
thats only if the price differential between diesel and electric remains the same after a dozen years and lol at thinking you'll get 600k miles out of this shit.
the average person drives roughly 14,000 miles a year and will keep the same car for about 8.5 years. I don't think your math checks out even if you double both those numbers
You seem like a man who would enjoy a nice Lada.
I'll tow it to the cliff and use the -30% battery life to have it demolish itself for my amusement then, killjoy.
Its worth noting the justification for this was you could rent it out as a robot taxi, so it could make passive income for you. That has not yet come to pass.
That was very optimistic on several levels in hindsight. I wouldn't want to head to work in a car that some random barfed in
You might have to go back a few more decades...
This doesn't sound like something that could ever work. Tesla is going to sell you a car where it can generate passive revenue...FOR YOU.
Yes it does. 100% of its emissions get converted back into fuel via pure solar energy.
I mean, it's pretty clearly already not working, but that's never stopped anyone. The story BEV proponents liked to tell was that you would soon be able to send your fully automated self-driving car off to act as a taxi while you weren't using it, so you wouldn't have to worry about parking and could make money from it while you did something else. It would spend all its downtime orbiting the city until someone called for a taxi. They even thought it would go and charge itself when it needed to. It was a stupid pipe-dream even before it became clear that self-driving cars are a naive hope at best, but then it quickly morphed into "you don't need a car, there will be an endless supply of self-driving taxis", and then sort of went downhill from there.
I think self-driving vehicles could be a thing, in time. China doesn't have as many regulatory hurdles as we do here (for better or for worse) and they seem to be forging ahead. Or maybe that's just me being hopeful. Anyways:
You might have a stalker that is going to be watching you over the next few months to let something else slip so they can put together a whole profile of you, with all the push pins and red yarn.
Working with a pseudonymous Facebook profile tied to a throwaway Yandex account (and no phone number) and the burner Protonmail I used here to post as an extremely well-known 40K character with thousands and thousands of web search hits that aren't me, all behind a proxy I set up on rented server space in northern New Jersey
