What are you even talking about? EV's require far less ongoing maintenance than ICE cars and if you have charging at home, you're not stopping for gas all the time in the middle of errands etc. There are almost never "bugs" and if there are, most are taken care of by over-the-air updates whereas any problem in an ICE car requires you to go to a dealership.
My experience has been that 99% of EV owners I've talked to say they'll never buy another ICE vehicle.
Can we stop calling companies with 1,500+ employees and millions in revenue "startups". At what point does the shine wear off and they just become medium-sized companies like any other?
God how can I downvote this. Did you even read what the OP said? So in this case the "dissidents" are people that appreciate incremental change, like their opinions to be valued in their respective field of expertise, and possibly appreciate being able to work from home?
Good god did someone drink the kool-aid... please explain succinctly what "problem" is being solved by a handful of wealthy individuals using all of the world's GPU power to mine numbers for mostly unusable currency...
