      Burning lithium batteries are explosive, toxic and released heavy metals.

      There’s a limited supply of the materials for EVs and e-bikes but a huge value in replacing gas cars with these vehicles.

      Burning these huge batteries harms people breathing the air in the area.

        hey what if we used trains with overhead wire instead? they’re better in basically every way, especially someplace relatively flat like vegas.

          Yeah I absolutely love the video made by some guy, I forget his name, but it basically lambasted the “Tesla tunnel” in Vegas because for the same amount of money or even less they could have built an actual Subway train.

        Yeah, it’d be better just to cease their purchase and let them sit, completely useless. A burnt car gets an insurance payout. What about throwing those giant stickers on the windshield that don’t peel off without ripping and leave a ridiculous mess? There was a Russian YouTube channel where people would do that to people driving on sidewalks.

        Bonus money and business for car detailers? Lol

          I would agree normally, but at a larger scale, it would cost insurance more to replace everything leading to higher rates and possibly refusal of insurance due to the risk associated.

          I thought Teslas (or maybe just the Cyber truck?) wasn’t insurable. I thought that was the whole reason Tesla has to offer car insurance, because regular insurers won’t cover them.

          I read that in snowcrash, didn’t know it was a real thing.
