Which is super easy to do. /s

Invalid critique, yes. That's what I meant by anti-EV bullshit. They talked about how unsafe the charging stations were so they leave the vehicle, even in very cold weather. They talk about the intense humming noise from the Level 2 charger at home which shakes the entire house. There are some valid critiques but when you start off with the bullshit ones, it's hard to take anything else they say as anything but lies.
Just the other day I read a comment on Facebook and it starts off with a qualifier that they're pro EV. Then they spew all sorts of anti-EV bullshit and it's just reeks of disinformation. If someone feels the need to qualify their opinion by saying they pro, before acting against, they're just fucking idiots.
Rest your case forever.. Please.
I doubt you're being honest in your question but I'll answer it anyway.
Could I live with myself if my wife died due to a home invasion? Yes, of course I could. I'm not at fault for her death so why wouldn't I be able to live with myself?
The fact that you came up with a situation where you think violence is the solution answers my initial question of you dreaming about killing someone in self-defense. You didn't think you were going to prove yourself a liar in your response did you?
I wouldn't dare assume what's in someone's head and I try hard not to mischaracterize anyone. I just wanted to know if that person ever dreamed of killing someone, and while my comment didn't provide context, I was wondering how happy they'd be if they did. I get the impression that some people that want guns for self-defense are 'itching' to kill someone and are using self-defense as an excuse. I read that a girl got shot because her basketball landed in someone's yard and the person killed her. While not the norm, without proper healthcare, including mental health, having the right to use a gun for self-defense is a recipe for disaster. Plus, the 'stand your ground' laws seemed deeply flawed, though this is coming from a Canadian that doesn't have the right to use deadly force to defend my property.
It would be nice if they provided that information but the data isn't useless without that information. It helps show that there's a pattern where batteries only lose 10% capacity after being driven a lot.
You can assume that EV's with higher milage will have been charged far more often than those with less mileage.
Canadian here and yeah, it can get down to -30C and +30C here but remember all batteries are insulated and they run glycol though them to keep them at a constant temperature which negates any external factors like weather. Polestar does their testing in the Artic circle so it's even colder so if it works well there, it'll work well anywhere.
With more EV's sold and more time passed, only then will we better understand battery life but based on what I'm seeing, it's a minor issue that won't stop me from buying an EV.
It's easy to make a less powerful motor. As someone else said, the current market is for people who are looking for better performance and aren't concerned with price. I put a deposit on a Polestar 3 that does 0-60 in 4.7s which is slow compared to its competition like the Model X and BMW iX but I don't care about 0-60. It's a meaningless metric to judge a car by. My Challenger SRT 392 does the 0-60 in 4.2s but I bought that car for how nice it looks, not its 0-60.
Replacing EV batteries is very rare, even in older or very used EV's
I was thinking RAIB 10 . .no need for parity checking.
