So there’s been some media stuff about Tesla chargers going down or getting long lines in this extreme cold we’re having.

The factors there are complicated and mostly this is impacting people without charging at-home. As it happens, I’m now making a daily commute - just started in fact! And I’d like to report that my car is having no issues at all in this weather, and I haven’t even plugged it in to charge in a few days.

    @TechConnectify@mas.to First of all, you have no evidence that the story wasn’t true. Second, the difference between everyone using gas or electric is very small, especially when you consider tire and brake residue.

    But you jump to the defense of the EV anyways, even making a buck off the video.

    All I’m saying is that EVs don’t deserve it. Spend your time and energy on something else please.

      @keraba@mastodon.social Did I suggest that story’s not true? Is this a Mastodon threading thing?

      Or are you really just… extremely anti-EV?

      I can’t tell, but either way - your suggestion has been noted but, I should warn you, will be ignored.

        @TechConnectify@mas.to I suspect that you’re mixing up respondents. You /did/ say, “…that so much of the bad press out there isn’t real.” I never mentioned the press.

          @keraba@mastodon.social What, specifically, are you telling me I should be defending against, then?

          I’m so fucking confused.

            @TechConnectify@mas.to I usually solve this problem by re-reading the thread and trying to figure out where I got off track; not asking someone to repeat themselves endlessly.

              @keraba@mastodon.social So.

              You came out of nowhere, told me I shouldn’t defend EVs because of how bad cars in general are and that “instead” I should be advocating for better mass transit and bike infrastructure.

              “Instead” implies one cannot do both - which I flatly reject.

                @keraba@mastodon.social You better believe this rubs me the wrong way. And I think you know you are being provocative. Deliberately.

                If you don’t, god help you.

                @TechConnectify@mas.to If one has the time and energy to do both, sure, but I’ve watched your channel for a while and haven’t seen a single alternative transportation post…

                  @keraba@mastodon.social Then you haven’t been paying enough attention.

                  I’ve mentioned the need for more than just cars several times - have I made a video specifically about mass transit? No. But I don’t really intend do because that’s not my niche.

                  At this point, I’m ending this conversation.
