We are there. The *vast* majority of people drive less than 30 miles a day.

As for lasting longer, it’s far less complicated. That absolutely will translate to longer life. No water pump, no oil pump, no transmission, no timing belt, etc

You have an expensive depreciating asset. Renting someone else’s asset for the heavy depreciation is basic economics. As is paying 80% less for ‘fuel’ for the other 350 days of the year.

Well they do, but they should rent an ICE car for that purpose for the 5x a year it might be necessary.

It can also provide 100km driving range on just a six-minute charge.

Sanctions will not change the Ukrainian outcome in the short term. Long term, they hopefully lead to regime change in Russia.

Apples v oranges. Global macro scale trade isn’t the same as cross physical border stuff.  And I’d bet more than a few degrees of magnitude difference as well.

Considering how absolutely co-dependent on US consumption culture their economy is, not likely.

‘blows up in his face’. That’s sorta the worst case scenario since he is 70. has no succession plan. is starting wars of grievance. and has nukes.

Well they did just kinda annex the breadbasket of Europe.

All depends on the particular elemental chemical properties, how much can be stored per unit of mass/volume, how many charge/discharge cycles it can reasonably handle.

Not sure it’s quite that simple. We *could* produce enough oil for our own needs I think. Not a good option at all, but it’s doable. The other plus is we have a huge amount of the worlds refining capacity.

Putin’s bet is that he’s been stockpiling money reserves for the last 4 years so he’s made a long term plan for sanctions.

There is but she’s playing hexordle

So we’re at the 50K large for even low spec mid level cars now?

“And I’ll just poop in your shoe”  level of loathing

We should move away from usage taxes anyway. They are entirely regressive and force the lower economic class to bear more burden than they can.

I might watch, but not on NBC. They only need a mirror to understand why it’s sucking

How do they get back into traffic? Or must the cars wait *longer* when lights turn green to allow the necessary re-merging?

I’m certainly no audiofile. I just can’t imagine that tiny little speakers in ear buds are ever going to provide anything even close to something an audiofile would accept.
