urbanism

With all the anti- and pro- Elon posts everywhere, I think most people are really missing the bigger point that the idea of EVs themselves has always been questionable. If you want more efficient, environmentally friendly transportation, the best solution for that is better public transit, not better cars. 

The scale of impact of transporting thousands of people at a time just doesn't compare to the few you can take around in an individual vehicle - autonomous or not. At the end of the day, EVs are luxury products that have minimal impact, and is only really talked about because it affects wealthy people the most. That's sort of the blind spot in how these issues play out politically.

Better still, make jobs locally, and get people to walk or bike to work.  😏
