Every time I encounter an EV driver in a relaxed setting, suppose I spot someone walking to or from his vehicle in a parking lot, I ask, “Say, how do you like your car?” I have a least a few hundred of these one-question surveys under my belt at this point.
So far, I have three who were luke-warm, one of whom was an Avis renter who was having trouble learning the new instrument interface.
All the rest were glowing. The most common response: “It’s by far the best car I’ve ever owned.”
What to make of the meme here? To me, it’s like anything else in the world of disinformation: it’s either:
Completely fabricated by some entity with a vested interest. Hmmm. Is there an industry that stands to lose big if electric transportation gains market-share?
or
Cherry-picked. Turn on Fox “News” right now, and watch the few short minutes as required to see a person with an MD or a PhD degree tell you vaccines don’t work or that climate change is a hoax. These people do exist, but in far fewer than one in one hundred cases. But if your job is to find one, you’ll succeed eventually. At the expense of your integrity, of course.

Empathy
As shown here, we live in a society that glorifies the very worst traits of the human animal and seems to be on a rocket ride to its own destruction.

Cashing in on Ignorance
Ignorance has terrific value to the billionaire class. If you’re filthy rich, you really don’t want a nation full of people learning that pure market capitalism is, by its very nature, exploitative, or that the consumption of fossil fuels is destroying our planet’s capacity to support life.

We Have Plenty of Problems that Actually DO Exist
The Trump administration and congressional Republicans are exceptionally good at focusing the MAGA base on problems that don’t exist.
What bathrooms should trans people use? Well, before we work ourselves into a frenzy, let’s ask ourselves if this is an issue that is really harming the good people of this nation.
Keep in mind that 60% of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck and are struggling to afford groceries.
