    Anyway don’t do this to old, low-end cars. If that person’s driving a 15 year old Corolla then they probably can’t afford a brand new Tesla. As much as we’d like everyone to drive an EV, single moms tend to prioritize feeding their kids.

      As it is currently, electric cars are worse for the environment because we all decided electric cars are basically the iphones of automobiles.

      They are riddled with planned obscelence and proprietary hardware. Theres not a chance in hell these would last longer than 10 years.

      Meanwhile ICE vehicles can easily last decades if well cared for

      I’m not shilling ICE vehicles, but stating the fact we NEED right to repair before we adopt electric vehicles on a large scale.

      Remember that capitalism WANTS our belongings to break, and WANTS to infinitely produce, and WANTS us to infinitely consume.

      I think the caption refers to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, not Internal Combustion Engine.

        Ohhhhh that makes so much sense now! Here I was thinking this was some radical pro-EV group going out there making it happen!

          That was a remarkably calm comment considering the read intention is creating thousands of unsafe vehicles on the road along with other drivers and pedestrians.

            Yeah I was perplexed (hence feeling the need to comment) but lemmy never ceases to surprise me!
