Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

Except for the ones who park in the garage, close the door, and leave the engine running to escape the pain of existence.
Finally! Someone paying attention to what we're really losing with EVs. What am I supposed to asphyxiate on non-ionizing radiation? That could take years!
If you drive a cyber truck you can just spray some water on it and the poorly isolated battery will probably catch fire. If you want to die from the fumes or cooked it's your pick.
You can also get yourself killed by activating the self driving on a tesla or, even better, by having it activate itself in the worst moment to kill you.
I thought the Teslas only run over children. I'm way too big for those britches.
No, no, you got it wrong. If you activate the self driving while driving a tesla it will probably kill you (while trying to run over a kid) by hitting something hard, catching fire, blocking you inside and cooking you alive.
That seems like a lot of effort. I wonder if I could just get the built-in Grok to roleplay the scenario into existence.
Just keep a gas generator around for such an occasion, then you can use it anywhere in the house, not just the garage! Think of the possibilities
Around me , people use gas BBQs inside during a two hour power failure.
You okay mate?
Yeah but morbid jokes are funny. :)
