Where are you getting this from?

Are you a technician or an engineer? And as a follow up, what part of the vehicle do you engineer?

Because this sounds a lot like a case of a dentist seeing a lot of cavities and making conclusions that teeth are "bad tech".

I live in a climate that's in yearly flux from -20 to +35 C and EVs have been normal here for a long time(7+ years) with no major issues. What parameters and therefore regions does your statement cover? I'm sure you can't run an EV in Syberia(RU), but people with petrol cars there have to run them even parked to avoid freezing during the winter so there will always be extremes.

As for the commercial equation: BYD and Tesla don't seem to be fitting that narrative. So this is not a matter of a marketing mistake - but an overall execution on the failed manufacturers.

Engineer. I started in core competency groups, worked on powertrain integration, and now, I’m a specialist. I roam around and put myself to use wherever needed. I’m now a consultant but I have badges for idk, maybe 20 facilities.

Sure. You're a "specialist" but roam about doing anything and everything? That's the complete opposite of a specialist. I'm a networking expert but I just roam around fixing computer issues just like a basic tech.

I don't see anything in your comment history that would indicate a strong engineering role. Mostly political engagements really. You haven't said anything useful on this thread regarding TFA and it's content. Listing your credentials while making obviously false and dismissive statements is not good faith discussion.

lol… “I checked your post history and made bad assumptions” is the most Reddit Detective vibe I’ve ever seen outside of Reddit :D

You own an EV right?

I'd have to agree with the "Redditor Detective" here. I've asked you a lot about your statements and all you basically said is "i know shit".

The redditor comment here is sort of a projection. Kind of like ..a redditor mod.

This is true. But it does not negate the comment you are replying to. Once you introduce kids into the mix (esp infants) - this whole narrative falls apart quite quick, ditto for elders/people with disabilities. Bikes, public transport are not a substitute for the vehicle.

I do agree that the vehicle should not be the default transportation even if I do consider myself a "car guy".

No, it does not.

Car centrism TAKES AWAY independence of kids, elderly, and disabled people.

This is not a serious comment. Infants on bikes.

Ever hear of a stroller

Ever heard of weather? Long distances? Sickness? Hills? A stroller is walking with a handicap.

Arguing for the sake of arguing in this case is really poor on your part.

Musk is a contrarian. He, however, is not a government body (nor does he represent one, u can choose to include the dubious Doge efforts into the discussion but that will devolve into semantics that do not negate the point). As a private citizen with a platform for which he overpaid - he can do as he pleases within the confines of said platform. Musk, however, cannot enforce fines on other providers and request stuff from them. This is what the post is about.

He can do whatever he wants on that platform. Equally, can elected officials decide to ban that private platform?

Again, apples and oranges. Private citizens vs government. Musk has no power given to him by someone, the government does, using that power in a way that might be considered abusive/authoritarian might yield (deserved) backlash.

I'm not sure if I'm not getting something. It's a for-profit organization vs a government entity. It's not even remotely similar.
