I think the problem here is making it efficient enough for it to last enough so it doesn’t deplete and then leaves you stranded.
Maybe they’re perfect in cloudless desserts 
, but what if it doesn’t get sunny for a while wherever you live?

cloudy days kinda suck but like ours prolly had a ~600 mile range on a full charge with no sun if I remember correctly off the top of my head?

Probably making it hybrid is an intermediate step closer to 0% gas emissions 2050
and you definitely don’t need to be in a desert
we did the entire US coast to coast in like 8 days

oh yeah hybrids are incredible and if I were in charge ICE-only [consumer] vehicles would have been outright banned, like, ten years ago

wouldn’t 10 years ago making a brand new hybrid may as well just have created more gas than continuing to use an old car

I wonder what will people of the future think of us when systematically people would just allow their own city to get smogged and also closer to dangerous climate change when there’s definetly some alternatives here and there.
We put giant battery packs in them that can move the car for a while itself

I mean that’s probably always true, and I don’t think it ever won’t be?
There’s a reason “reuse” is one of the 3 R’s
But that’s a bad metric because there are genuine reasons that building new cars is good (old ones stay in the hands of their owners more often than not, and accidents and age catch up with every car eventually)

but yeah like no shit making a new entire car isn’t better for the environment than sticking with an already-built one, if that’s the choice you’re making lol

I firmly believe I will […] tomorrow.
that’ll just create one more cycle rather than actually addressing the problem of buying more cars! they’ll just see that as the norm!
I’ll hope I can get an ecologically friendly car if the Romanian economy doesn’t crash upon itself and cause further exodus
I want a Toyota Tacoma
idk what cycle you think is being created here but ur wrong
oh no. my attack, devastated.
