Most FReepers, had they been around 100 years ago, would have been laughing at the notion of a horseless buggy. Too slow, not much range, no gas stations, uncomfortable, yada yada yada.
No vision. Heaven help us. Ceding the future to so-called progressives. And it’s not just in this area.

The electric car was invented over 100 years ago, it wasn’t practical then and it still isn’t.
100 years ago the electric car was king.
It has only been improved my motors with rare earth magnets (speed) and modern battery’s (delivers more amps and dot leak)
If people wish to improve the technology I have no issue with it but don’t try to sell me a 1/4 of the car at double the price with mandates and global warming nonsense.
The car of this age converts fossil fuel into motion more efficiently than a coal plant transmitting power over the grid to charge a battery. Cleaner too.

Agree. A lot of this guff is political however. Run similar stuff about the fracking revolution in oil and natural gas and the tone of the discussion is much different.
