    I never said I had all the answers I’m saying these are the areas people should be putting in effort to future proofing transportation. Just because you’re ignorant of things doesn’t make them impossible Sci Fi pipe dreams. Electrom, Velomobiles, Transition One. 3 examples of MANY of commercial enterprises successfully making the technology I’m discussing. We’ve had electric recumbent two wheel transport since at least the 90s. The solution is there; awareness and understanding is what is lacking, as I’ve said it’s an issue of perception and PR with the general public, as you’re elegantly displaying.

    People’s buying habits aren’t my decision but they are all of our problems. The reason why it’s relevant is because a Tesla is an incredibly environmentally damaging product to produce, and Smaller, lighter EVs that make more use of less batteries are a more environmentally efficient prospect.

    People not maintaining what they have is not irrelevant it’s one facet of this massive issue of waste and environmental damage in transport. Maximizing the work-life of their vehicles is one of many things people can be doing to help environmentally.

    A motorcyclist is more likely to die on a traditional motorcycle, which while better than cars environmentally, isn’t what I’m talking about, as I’ve said, these solutions are enclosed the crash protection is vastly superior than a normal motorcycle; two wheel transport aren’t just motorcycles. I would also say the chances of a car driver dying in a fatal accident are incredibly low, and even 25 times that is still incredibly unlikely. And also the cause of motorcycle accidents are in a massive majority the fault of car drivers. Less cars, less accidents, less pollution, less traffic.

    Climate Change is a serious issue. We genuinely are fucked if we don’t make massive changes. The fact you think what I’m suggesting is radical is wild. Sadly we have all of these solutions that people could be adopting, thereby limiting ICE usage massively, but no one cares. We’re fucked.
