    Hmm, it’s almost like we should focus considerably more on simple vehicles instead of complex subscription shit boxes that we have, to cut down cost of manufacturing/materials/parts/labour and now insurance…no big money in that though.

    Or you know …public transport is also pretty damn good option over any of this. Something drastic would have to change for trains/buses/etc to become commonplace in NA though, at least in some EU countries and a few other countries in the world there’s a bit of hope.

      In the US, electric vehicles are only affordable for wealthy drivers. In China, they are building cheap electric cars, like $16,000 cheap. But tarrifs to protect our stagnant auto industry will keep these cars out.
