    I mean, while we still have so much car centric infrastructure in the states, they can be a useful transition.

    I say this as someone who primarily commutes by bicycle btw. Public transit in my area is piss poor. Unpredictable buses, no light rail. Hell there aren’t even sidewalks everywhere.

    My wife recently got a fully electric car, and I support that move. She is not ready to go car free. But at least we are not necessarily burning fossil fuels to power trips to the grocery store. I think the closest power plants to us are nuclear and hydroelectric. Im sure there’s a coal plant in the mix too tho.

    Would never give elon a cent of our money though

      I think people who commute farish in a car daily should be first to get electric cars, and then people who use cars less than daily for groceries or something, and lastly people like me who drive in the same town once a month or less.
