I mean weight is a huge issue too just due to safety. I drove my buddies model Y recently and it felt extremely nimble, probably due to the center of gravity being so good thanks to the batteries
But you can still feel how heavy the vehicle is and I imagine crashing into one would fucking hurt. I mean my GMC Sierra is lighter, it’s absurd really

I’m a nihilist but I still believe veganism will prevail eventually
Yeah I get it
But what im trying to say is that you can get an EV for like 20k cad, but charging requires home ownership (1.1m average in this shithole country)
Lemmy user base will not understand your comment but yes, I will miss the roar of an engine in the future, and the ability to feel the road through the steering wheel. EVs are simply not fun nor interesting even though I can’t deny they are ‘better’
At least you can get rwd EVs I guess
The barrier in my Canadian city isn’t even purchase price, it’s that I cannot charge at my apartment
Dude practically lives on lemmy lol
That’s a really good point, in fact now that you said this I can easily see the old woman face lol
After you touch a certain amount of grass it becomes obvious how much loss of biodiversity we’ve had on earth in the last 10 years and it’s equally depressing as concrete city life
There are pretty much no animals or bugs anymore
World class public transit? Lol you can hardly get from the airport to Reykjavik, you absolutely need a rental car if you want to enjoy Iceland
Iceland is actually one of the most car dependant countries in the entire world
As a kid I could see both instantly but today it took me several minutes
I saw someone behead themselves by train in Calgary
Been pretty much everywhere and Iceland by far
We are in the mountains in rural Alberta
Regardless they stole the money as it usually goes
Well throwing money isn’t the right method, that’s what we do now
We gave the kamloops band 11 million 3 years ago to investigate the mass graves and the tribe leader seems to have stolen 8m of it and progress hasn’t even started
Like our government, they are rampant with corruption too and that is what is preventing progress
In Canada we throw lots of money at them and it doesn’t really solve anything either unfortunately
Alexi laiho but I never became a rockstar you can probably tell
Don’t even pay attention to downvotes, they don’t really do anything unlike reddit
