So many people on Reddit are total naysayers and in absolute LOVE with their fossil fuels, not wanting anything to do with your battery technology. They also claim that batteries are less environmentally friendly than the clunker jalopies they ride around in so proudly. Is there anything you would do or say to turn that tide? Also, another set of arguments I hear all the time goes something like "I'm waiting until the technology becomes feasible." which I find particularly interesting since I use an EV everyday and seems pretty feasible. I also acknowledge that the technology will improve, and that'll be great. But what about the here and now?

Just so you know, there is no "fast lane." That is jargon that the puppet masters invented to make this seem like a reasonable proposition. There is only "normal" and "throttled." Period. To say "fast lane" makes it seem like it's ok to pay for a premium service. Like overnight shipping vs. ground delivery. But that is a false analogy in this case. Here there is only one kind of delivery vehicle and the one that delivers your packets is either purposefully tampered with to make slower deliveries or not, for a price.

This is incredibly counter-intuitive for me. We've outlawed smoking cigarettes within 100 feet of a doorway, yet your jacked-up F-150 with modified exhaust, tailpipe pointed at eye-level directly towards a sidewalk that is inches away is somehow perfectly fine AND more environmentally friendly than my completely un-obnoxious EV. I guess no matter how much I hate it, I'll just have to accept it as truth, especially since I'm hearing it from a source such as you. /Devastated
