The title is about why “Americans” aren’t buying EV’s. The excuse of them living in an apartment only applies to ~20% of the population.

That’s not enough to explain why Americans aren’t buying, just why 20% if Americans aren’t.

And like I said you don’t start with the most difficult and you don’t push a solution onto a problem when it isn’t the right solution anyway.

That’s genuinely gutting.

I thought and still think this will absolutely revolutionise the world and cause repair of the environment. But it looks like the market doesn’t have faith in this.

first lab-grown beef burger debuted in 2013 at a staggering $330,000, they still need to fall to under $10 per kilo — roughly a tenth of current costs — to be competitive in the mass market

The amount that has fallen, in that time, compared to the amount remaining seems like it isn’t that much.

Hopefully we just a little jump in the industry enough to build some hype and get things rolling again.

Depends what the point is. If we want to sell EVs for some goal of selling EVs that fine I guess. But it still goes back to the point of you start with the easiest 80% first.

But if we want to improve everyone’s life on this planet and the planet itself. Trying to convince people who shouldn’t own a car to buy an EV is very poor planning. It just so short sighted and consumerist for the sake of consumerism.

If every single job you can imagine, even the future ones, can be done by machines that are vastly cheaper than humans on the minimum wage, you cannot possibly have an economy that is anything like today’s.

UBI would work in a situation where no one has a job and the economy would work almost exactly the same as it does now. Everyone would be university students basically.

According to Quota its ~80% of people live in houses.

Classic 80:20 rule. Making excuses for why the most difficult 20% doesn’t work is the wrong way of thinking about it. Most of the result for least effort cones from dealing with the 80%.

What percentage of people live in apartments?

Surely those people should be taking public transport anyway not buying a car when they live downtown.

That graph floating around on how batteries have changed the electrical grid is super impressive. Batteries have to really start eating into base load power this year.

This is just a price to function issue.

If the price was 0 everyone would have one.

But the cost of it is way too high for what it is. Price and weight etc will come down. Uses will increase.

When I was a teenager my friend tried to get me to join an MMA gym. Said his two friends went and the instructor wanted to show them something about defending your self properly so he knocked them both out one after the other. (Like that was the plan. See how bad you are at fighting).

I didn’t join that gym.

If its fun or get rich quick. Gambling.

If it’s some boring thing some adviser told you that you are sick of, that you then told your family and they are sick of it. You just going to leave it and forget about it. Then it’s investing.

I wish I was born in a time when people could just enjoy shit.

It seems like mindless TV with action, some good old boys and some eye candy, set in the south.

People make out it is some sort of factually wrong documentary.

Electric vehicles are expected to be cheaper than ICE cars.

There has been a lot more money and time spend in developing ICE cars.

Germany doesn’t report crime as clearly as the Danish do but the countries share a lot of similarities.

Shit. Even with staying in shape?

Is this just what the 30’s are like for everyone?

I’m not sure rural America and rural Australia are that close.

Even bum fuck nowhere Australia is quite diverse in people and have information about other countries and travel to the big cities fairly regularly. Both seemed to have great friendly people though.

Also the most dangerous sketchy places are in the outback, though some of the towns are fine, whereas in America it seems to be in specific cities or parts of cities, and others are fine.

I was pretty confident on self driving cars all the way back when it was just google.

But I think the robot/ AI stuff is coming a lot faster than expected. I worked in factories a few year ago and a lot of it is 90% there.

The real key issue is the drop in prices. Robot arms especially I seen dropping. It used to be that one robot would replace the work of 4 or 8 people. (24/7 running) so the machine needed to be a little less than that. But now its so cheap if it replaces 80% of 1 persons work it only need to be really 50% the cost for business to bother to get one. Also that cost is so low it can easily be taken as a trial that might fail but we want to see, if it works we will get 50.

AI is going to be the same, to replace someone it needs to do 100% of the work and be slightly less than a lot of people. To replace some of the work it needs to be priced less than maybe even 1 person, and we are there.

Bored now.

You were close to deleting my comments, you gave me a last warning, yet you did not provide any sources yourself. That’s not a source as mentioned because it isn’t about illegal crossing, it’s intentionally misleading. So provide a source. You know if this was the other way around and you provided the sources I did and I just gave you a misleading source my comments would be deleted.

You know things I say to be right you’re just hoping I conceded my position. You thrown your weight around and keep talking about your powerful position as a mod to intimidate me.

All I asked was for sources and the conversation has degraded to this.

This will be my last comment because why would I talk to you? You care more about winning and being a mod than you do about discussing or learning. I hope you learn to improve yourself. Good day.

Haha all I want is sources. I know you’re entire life is this website so I know you will go on forever. I don’t expect anything else.

Or for you to show some honour and growth and actually admit you are wrong, have no claims and I think I’m owed an apology for how you have treated me.

Sources or go bother someone else.

That’s the worst looking breakfast I have ever seen. Everything on there looks terrible.

I’d go toast, OJ and coffee. Fuck the rest.
