Comment on Gel and lithium-ion tech could enable 1000-mile EV range on one charge

It depends on the cost/benefit analysis. It was part of my decision to buy a Tesla but I am deeply disappointed with the experience. It’s so bad that I want to sell it and buy another ICE. Most people aren’t willing to pay more for a significant downgrade. That’s just reality.

i guess this a pertinent example of why we’ve got basically zero chance of stopping climate collapse. I’ve no doubt your position is very much the norm. We’re all required to make massive sacrifice to solve this, but very few are willing to make even small concessions)like less convenient driving practices).
Oh well it’s gunna be exciting to watch the ship sink at the very least.
At least you acknowledge your shitty position. it’s more than most seem to do.

I’m much more optimistic. I think battery technology will progress quickly, and as it improves, more and more people will buy EVs. I think the path forward is not to try to convince people to live worse lives. That’s a losing proposition. We should instead make our lives better and cleaner through technology.
