The irony being that there are obvious challenges to EV becoming mainstream for the average person, and you choose to say there are no challenges. You are willingly ignorant to them.

"powerfully ignorant" oh the irony.

EV's are great to bomb around Cali and similar cities. Practicality drops off substantially in rural settings, and to zero when the temperatures drop well below freezing.

Your fun little idea might gain some traction if you stop being a prick when presented with challenges.

Ah yes, I am the only person on the planet who has a need to travel occasionally to a larger city during a normal winter. Got it!

Please let me know how that goes for you and when I can purchase one that allows me to travel 500 kilometres in -25°C without disabling the vehicle mid trip in that mentioned temperature.

So, just so you know, the average EV battery weighs 1000lbs, and some all the way up to 2000lbs in something like the EV hummer. (Unnecessary I know). The cost to have a battery in an EV replaced currently sits around $5000 to $15000 off of warranty. So there are definitely obstacles. Along with letting the general public fry themselves trying to hook up a 400v battery. You're not dealing with AA batteries. Battery technology is far away from something able to swap out yourself with the ease you may be thinking of.

That has to be the worst way to go. Unable to escape a sinking vehicle and drown. Hopefully they were lucky and unconscious from the fall but i doubt it. May the management that made the call to skimp out on boat engine maintenance find themselves behind bars.

AI without proper regulation could be the downfall of humanity. Many pros, but the cons may outweigh them. Opinion.

I deleted Facebook a couple years ago. Instagram is my guilty pleasure for car reels and god damn dancing toothless. It seems like the end of my ig use is getting closer

People are supposed to be complying with that since 2020 since it's announced. Yes 2025 is the amnesty deadline, but if people haven't taken part now, they won't by then.

Edit: the actual buyback program doesn't take effect until 2025 when the amnesty period ends. So again, with having 2000 models of weapons now prohibited since 2020, has it made an impact on firearm crime rates? Another question to ask is whether the buyback program will reduce crime rates. Which if all these prohibited weapons are already locked up like fort Knox, what real difference will it make?

Well I'm being told I'm confused on the timeline. Sure by a year or so. All I'm trying to prove is: is the law in question as to whether it is actually reducing crime. I've asked the same question a dozen times and all I get back is hey this guy is a dumb gun nut. In retrospect I could have worded a clearer question right off the bat. No one is perfect

On May 1, 2020, the Government of Canada announced a prohibition on more than 1,500 models and variants of assault-style firearms, such as the AR-15. Since then, approximately 500 additional variants of these prohibited firearms have also been prohibited.

There is a link to what I'm talking about.

This makes sense. You are able to apply for a license to carry a pistol, however chief firearms officers are denying them, regardless whether you meet criteria or not. The RCMP also will not disclose how many permits for carrying a handgun they issued on a given year. Fun facts.
