@SylvesterJcat Yeah I hear charging sucks in NY, worst in the entire country. Easy fix tho, install chargers in parking places. Owning a car regardless sucks in NY, right?

@tonespeaks Yeah parking any ICE in that weather is much worse than a BEV. I used to take half an hour of wasted time and lost range thawing out my gas work truck on cold mornings.

@abansalify I used to idle my V8 1-ton service truck for 20/30 minutes to thaw it out at -20F in the morning. Yeah it lost range and battery power, foolishly blew "freeze plugs" once without enough antifreeze, lucky didn't break the engine block....all sorts of issues, diesels need special fuel additives, ice can block fuel lines....on and on.

@fenrirslip Most traditionally charged at home, cheap and easy, but now that the peasants can afford them we need cheap chargers at apartment complexes, parking areas, airports, etc...not that hard. Let economics do it's thing, 5X cheaper to operate will win the day.

@abansalify New knowledge is needed for BEV operation but it's tiny compared to what we should know to run an ICE properly.

@DocMicrowave Interesting, didn't think about some of the costs you incur there. Be hyper cautious on bikes, as 'a used to be avid bikey' myself, once pedaled from Cent. Commiforia to Alaska and back the long way. Pedaling it yourself raises mental speed and reflexes, for what it's worth. Must know what's happening 360 degrees ALL the time. (mirrors!) Love the energy, options and vitality of a city but the inherent loss of freedom puts me rural, in few hrs reach of urban. Have sports cars to run in the hills/mountain roads, useless in the city most of the time.

@Ozvideo1959 As you should be prior to gaining significant experience on/in the stuff.

Yeah more fake news, no surprise at all. Eventually even the most emotionally reactionary will notice that vids like this are basically BS with a few scraps of reality mixed in.

@DocMicrowave Long has been, for many or most it's simply not worth the cost. How much just to park the darn thing?

@DocMicrowave (((can't remember last time I use a toll rd, except for bridges in SF Bay Area)))

@johngoard8272 Australia is really as undeveloped as you make it sound? No major Tesla network? In Europe charging is fast and easy, in N. America same applies if it's a Tesla or able to use Tesla network. Shame you have to pay 5X more to operate a car than a BEV owner. Most likely you too will be driving or riding in BEV before end of decade tho, you've just been completely hoodwinked by your own content selection bias.
