Hard to “fuel” your electric car with no power or charging stations underwater.

This was my theory on water bottles, but people frowned on me charging $60 per case. Apparently profiteering off of a disaster is a shitty thing to do and is rightfully illegal.

I understand. I mean, prices go up, I need to drive, so I will buy gas. I cannot, not buy gas. Higher prices haven’t stopped me drive and I am sure they haven’t stopped in the rest of the country. We need to drive. OP is an idiot. Prices have spiked several times over since 2000, guess what? People still bought…

Nobody would be getting anywhere because the grid is down

And if we were how would we be charging those cars without utility power? I know! Generators, but the I would need.... ( ° ͜ʖ͡°)╭∩╮

No one is worried it’s going to go to $20/gallon forever, just for the duration of the emergency. Cautionary buying makes the short-term supply problem worse. If the price is inelastic, supply will collapse. We already went through this 40 years ago.

Yes I know, let’s see how long other people are going to pay for it.

“if you use superchargers? Because then, Teslas literally DO get energy for free.”

It’s the kind of math you do when you want to further a narrative but are incompetent at doing so. These numbers make most people think they are misreading something, and want to find more information. The numbers are absurd on their face. That doesn’t further a narrative, and it makes them look dumb in the bargain.

Translation: most cars are cheap when you ignore the factors that drive up monetary consumption over time.

I remember reading somewhere that the environmental impact of building and driving a Teals Model S was like owning a Ford Focus. Even that estimate left out the creation and disposal of the batteries. I’d like to see a real apples to apples comparison of all the impacts. Add in transportation costs of oil too.

The thing is the Tesla will net you big savings compared to an Mercedes E or S class. Instead of showing moderate savings they had to tap the Musk BS machine and now they’ve lost most of their audience.

What these numbers do and don’t include is beyond ambiguous, it’s completely unknown.

I think their costs include the cost of fuel as well as service.

With a name like Tesloop, I wouldn’t trust their math for other cars.

This looks like a semantics issue. Specifically, I think “maintenance costs” is probably a bad term.

Wrong end:

Oh no, a pyramid on the internet just called me racist!

I typically get threatened with jail for taking my furballs out in public.

It looks like I might have a date tomorrow. So I’m kind of hoping someone or something gets covered with viscous fluid this weekend, if you know what I mean.
