    I will happily live in an era of electric vehicles, cheap and easy access to space and all the modern functionality that brings, affordable satellite connectivity. I will happily live in a world where even the biggest trucks can keep up speed while fully loaded iPhone uphill, without polluting, without noise. I will happily choose a vehicle whose trip planning optimizes route and duration, automatically planning chargers as needed. I will happily live in a world where my vehicle, thermostat and home power storage can participate in a “virtual power plant” with intelligent time shifting

      I hope you’ll also happily live in an era where the powers discriminate against you, and try to eradicate you. the only comforting thought you will have, is there is no going back.

        1. That’s true of all new vehicles, not specific to EVs
        2. I’m very interested in the Slate truck, which might be the only exception. I don’t want a pickup but I do want the lack of gadgets and surveillance they promise
        3. Or if you want to be argumentative, I claim to be the “in” group, the last to be discriminated against (except I’m from a blue state). Y’all can fight the battles
